★★★★★ 5.0 Robert Wilson · Feb 2026

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The menu has so many mouthwatering options. The lemongrass soup was perfect. I loved that there was an affordable variety of salads to go with it, and the staff was friendly throughout. It was an easy walk from Union Station, and the perfect place to wait instead of waiting for your train at the station.

We went a week ago, my kids are still talking about it. 😀 The trio of hummus is so much fun. The pita is solid, but the crispy spiced pita marries so perfectly with the hummus... it's a cant miss. The yellow lentil soup is warm and creamy. It feels familiar and exotic at the same time. I really enjoyed the kabob plate. It is worth every penny. The serving size is incredible. I only wish there were more peppers on the plate. On the rice bowl, each sauce is great. The yellow rice is to die for. But what's really special is when you have some of everything in a bite. The balance of spices, textures, mixtures of flavors are nothing short of incredible. AND THE WHISKEY/BOURBON FLIGHTS- how fun. I loved the not from Kentucky flight. Generous pours of bottles too expensive to just try. Well done!

This food is so 😋!!! Love the ambiance. Our server was Oscar who has a billion dollar personality. His service was above & beyond our expectations. He was jovial & so engaging. The restaurant is a cozy comfy space. If you are still reading my post you need to read it on the way to the place to be. By the way ensure that you order a full course meal. I enjoyed those tiramisu & the chocolate mousse as well!!! Ok you all hurry and get there because my dessert is calling me right now!!!! Chat later!!! Check them out and you will definitely be pleased!!!!!!

love café fili. small cute place, both indoor and outdoor seating available. the food is so good. such fluffy falafel and the veggies always taste so fresh. i don't eat meat so i can't vouch for much, but the hummus is also incredible, i do miss the pesto hummus though, i hope they bring that back. everything is a little expensive/overpriced but that makes sense for the location, and it is really delicious, plus all the staff is so kind.

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Staff are so friendly, food is delicious, we sat outside and it was so pleasant, situated in a quiet neighborhood but right around the corner from Union Station. The Ultimate Brunch Gyro was delicious!! Can't wait to go back and hit it the one in Baltimore too!
