Green mint tea
FiLLi Cafe
Begin with green mint tea at FiLLi’s Al Mina Road café. Choose this by name from the herbal-tea section; it is a plain tea-and-mint opening before the pastry stops, rather than the café’s milky signature chai.

Labneh with shatta pastry
Dunya Al Sham Pastry
Split the labneh with shatta pastry for the savoury middle stop. The menu pairs creamy labneh with a spicy shatta filling; order this single pastry instead of the mixed platter so the final dessert stays manageable.
