Sunny Mediterranean cafe near Union Station with flavorful bowls, hummus, and kabobs; generally friendly service and good value for the area, with occasional inconsistency on service and seasoning.
Cafe Fili delivers reliable Mediterranean dining with solid food quality anchored by praised shawarma bowls and hummus, plus warm, attentive service that makes the experience welcoming. However, occasional inconsistency—oiliness, oversalting, dry chicken—and a modest setting that's pleasant but not destination-worthy keep it from grade A territory. A smart neighborhood choice near Union Station that executes well most of the time.
One caveat: A minority report oversalted or oily dishes; request lighter dressing or sauces on the side
