    Excellent service and dessert! Samantha the server was so warm, welcoming and helpful guiding us in our selections!

    Excellent service and dessert! We had karak chai with saffron, knafeh (both crispy and sweet), Istanbul coffee ice cream, rose strawberry ice cream. Pistachio baklava and knafeh kishneh. Samantha the server was so warm, welcoming and helpful guiding us in our selections! She encouraged us to try samples of all the ice creams we wanted. 10/10 for service!

    Knafooza
    Clayton Y.

    Awesome experience here! It was my first time and the staff was super helpful in explaining the options and the flavors to me. Got to sample a few ice cream options before choosing. Ended up going with the knafooza with baklava crunch ice cream. Shop wasn't too busy so got to have some nice conversations inside. Seating and parking can be a little limited during peak hours. Everything tasted great!

    Syrian ice cream

    We noticed a new location, and since we love the Orange location, we were excited to see what this one has to offer in Little Arabia. First impressions: place is smaller than the Orange location, I believe there are three tables and a small barstool section. So it's definitely less spacious than the other location but we didn't have any issues finding seating on a Sunday at 2 pm. Service: The owner is super kind and personable. He is passionate about his business and has a great vision for new menus. Food: the riz bi halib, ashta ice cream, pistachio ice cream are soooo delicious. As a Syrian-American, I approve!! Also, as a Palestinian-American, I also approve of the knafa

    lotus biscoff
    Angeline N.

    My friends and I were looking for a sweet treat after dinner and saw that there was this! I've always wanted to try Filo Dessert and didn't know there was one in Anaheim, which was such a pleasant surprise. Right as we walked in, the worker greeted us and was constantly checking up on us to see if we were ready to order. We were all super indecisive but she was so patient and offered us samples of the ice creams. There were so many unique flavors to pick from and all the samples were delicious, but I ended up going with the lotus biscoff. It was soo creamy with a perfect cookie flavor that wasn't overly sweet! I only got "one scoop" but it actually ended up being two really large scoops and is definitely enough for 1-2 people. The inside was really home-y with pictures and other decorations on the walls. There were a few tables so we were able to eat and yap! They also had an extensive menu with other desserts, drinks, and more, but we were just looking for something simple since it was late at night. I definitely would come back here or to another location because that ice cream lives rent free in my mind!

    5 stars! One of my factor rice puddings ever! The rice pudding is creamy, topped with Biscoff cream and crumbles. This shop makes all the desserts for both Filo Dessert locations (Anaheim & Orange). The staff is friendly. Space is small so it does have limited seating. All the desserts were scrumptious! I'll definitely be going to this location instead of the Orange shop. Thank you Filo Dessert!

    Mom says, "BEST Kinafah E-V-E-R"
    Nai Q.

    What started as a quick meat run and a few errands turned into the sweetest detour! Mom was off work and came along for the ride--little did we know we'd stumble on Filo Dessert at a red light! I'd been to their other location with my cousin-Sistra n my sister in law, so I figured, why not stop in? Mom took one bite and lit up! "This is the BEST KINAFAH EVER!" Mom's whole face lit up, totally made her day (and mine!) We had the pleasure of meeting the lovely dynamic duo husband-and-wife team behind Filo. Wifey is the bakery boss, Hubby is the ice cream king! They even brought over a complimentary new dessert they're testing and asked for feedback, love customer facing businesses that are personable like that, totally transforms the experience! Pssstt... Be on the lookout for a crunchy bar like treat with ice cream! Yummyyy.

    nutella ice cream, pistachio ice cream affogato, dubai chocolate
    Sarah T.

    Finally got to try out this middle eastern dessert place at the Orange Circle! We got the nutella ice cream, affogato with pistachio ice cream, and the dubai chocolate. The nutella ice cream was awesome, not too sweet and super creamy. The affogato was also nice with the pistachio ice cream. The workers said that their pistachio was one of their most popular flavors and I could definitely see why. We also got the dubai chocolate because it's super trendy right now. I liked the texture of it but I wasn't able to taste the pistachio and it was a bit too sweet for me. The inside was also a really cute place to hang out. Kinda small, but they have an upstairs area as well.

    Iced hazelnut latte
    Michelle T.

    The iced hazelnut latte was really good but I would probably ask for it to be less sweet next time. I love their ice cream and knafeh. For some reason it was really warm in there when I went. It was like they didn't have the air on. I wanted a hot drink but ended up getting an iced one since it was so hot inside

    Turkish Coffee, super strong!
    Om P.

    This is a new location which opened up aside from the one in Old Towne Orange. Located in a tiny strip plaza with minimal parking in Little Arabia area of Anaheim, the cafe itself is a bit packed with limited seating so please beware of that! I wanted to originally order the Karak Chai, a favorite of mine but it seemed they were out and the barista told me they were unable to make a batch for an unknown reason possibly due to them running out/timing. It seemed they were still learning the ropes as they had just opened up. Regardless, I decided to order a classic Turkish Coffee. Additionally, I wish there was less miscommunication between the barista and myself as I had told her I wanted to dilute the coffee down with milk and cream if possible as Turkish Coffee can be quite concentrated and strong but she just seemed to charge me for two of them which wasn't what I wanted at all. The Turkish Coffee itself was good with flavor but super concentrated and strong. Definitely not my favorite and needed to be more diluted. It's hard to imagine people drink that as is. That said, the cafe is pretty inside with the aesthetics and their desserts looked delicious. Give this new spot a try but definitely do your research in advanced on what to order because everyone's preferences will certainly vary.

    12:15 pm, NOT open....
    cindy f.

    We had dessert rose strawberry, mint lemon ice cream and creamy sahlab in orange store last week. It were not very sweet and we loved it. So we went to the Anaheim store and wanted to buy some ice cream to go. We arrived at 12:15 on Wednesday today. The open light on but the whole store was dark! NOT OPEN at noon!! It is really bad for business....

    Knafeh and booza ice cream
    Mandy D.

    Came upon Filo as we were looking for knafeh after dinner. The owner was really personable and claimed they had the best in town...and he was so right. We love Middle Eastern dessert and this knafeh was perfectly sweet, light and crispy outside, with gooey great texture cheese inside. We got the regular knafeh, a scoop of the mastic booza ice cream, and cup of karak. All delicious. We even sampled a saffron flavor the owner was working on and it was amazing and balanced - hope he sells it in pints because our favorite saffron ice cream is far away and this was on par. They have simple syrup on the table if you like things on the sweeter side. Inside decor was nice and with plenty of seating. Will be back!

    interior - seats for 8 people

    I have a new favorite ice cream shop and that says a LOT because I've been loyal to Salt and Straw for so long. Truly the friendliest service I've ever had. Walked in with my cousins and we're not very familiar with Arabic desserts so we were shy. The employee explained everything so nicely and we felt super comfortable. She gave her suggestions and favorites, explaining how everything is made and where the ingredients were sourced. Filo has Arabic ice cream (booza) and sweets. Their fusion combo includes a sweet and ice cream so it's great you get to try both. Try as many samples as you'd like. Rice pudding (5/5): sweet, creamy, pairs perfectly with ice cream. We did rice pudding and Turkish coffee ice cream. Ice cream flavors we got: Turkish coffee, honey lavender, pistachio, and biscoff. All the ice cream is insanely creamy - not a single ice shard. It's also slightly stretchy - the texture is insane. Employee recommends trying the biscoff last because once people try that one, nothing can compare. I really really liked the slight bitter aftertaste of the coffee ice cream and LOVED the pistachio ice cream. Literally nothing ever compares. I believe they have their own pistachio farm! The ice cream is jam packed with pistachios and they even top with more crushed pistachios on the side. I'm dreaming about the time I get to have this again. On the pricier side but well worth it. The scoops are huge! Roughly 8 seats inside. Tables of two so not great for big groups. Parking is also really limited in the plaza.

    The Dubai Latte iced
    Aryanna H.

    Everything we had was all so very good! I loved the mint lemon ice cream, along with the peach flavor. The lemon one was bright and not overly sweet, while the peach one felt so fresh the texture definitely gave it away. The woman helping us was very kind and worked as fast as she could to get us our order. The store is quiet and very nice inside, there's a few tables to sit at and some counters too. I definitely recommend eating it there instead of taking it to-go just to take a moment and enjoy it fresh. The one thing I'll say is be patient please! When we went there was only one woman running the whole store for a bit so it took a little while for everything but it's worth the wait! We will be coming back soon

We did get lucky and got parking on the side street since someone right in front of us was leaving. The line does move quick though. They have 10 order stations. We got here 30 min before closing and were able to get our order in before they closed. The most popular item is the Joe Latti, which is vanilla ice cream with your choice of Italian ice flavor. We got to sample flavors before ordering as well. I ended up getting wild cherry and mango tango, which was a good combo. The mango was sweet, just the way I like it. My group all got a mix of flavors and everyone enjoyed their joe Latti as well. Customer service was great. They answered all our questions since it was our first time here. The place is always crowded, and there is limited seating and tables in front. We were lucky to get a table. There was also kids revving and speeding up and down the street, so just an FYI. It was really loud and distracting. I would go back here in a heartbeat over any place in sac.

    First time (after 30 years of living in OC)…read more I can see why people like it. The bases are very fruity and the ice cream on top is very rich and milky. Line was crazy long but it honestly moved super fast. Tried the peach mango flavor and cookie butter. Only small complaint was they only let us sample 4 flavors and the worker was a bit short with us. Figured just long day or something no big deal

We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.
