"'Yay! I 'm a fan ' pretty much sums up my feelings about Pomegranate. Having had it delivered via Deliveroo i wasn 't overly impressed and wasn 't sure what all the hype was about. But last night after a stressful day and having lost the ability to want to cook anything, i decided that going out to dinner was an acceptable choice. we decided on Pomegranate as it was nearby and middle eastern food sounded like a great option at 8pm! i haven 't been in this place since it was ferri 's apparently what is many years ago now. but the inside is completely different, loads of colour and what appeared to be a back room i have no memory of. lots of tables so we didn 't have any problem just walking in without a booking and service was quite and friendly. we opted for two mezze dishes and two mains to share between us. the mezze didn 't take long and the minced lamb pastry triangles (which have an actual name that i 'm not even going to attempt to spell), the tabbeulouh, and flat bread were with us shortly. each bite i 'm pretty sure was tastier than the last. the tabbeulouh is not what you usually get- a salad full of bulgur wheat and not much veg. not this was packed full of fresh parsley and chopped up tomato with loads of lemon juice mixed it. it was super fresh tasting and absolutely moreish. the mince lamb triangles were equally moreish although a bit spicy which i didn 't expect. however that did not stop me eating my half of the portion and i 'd definitely order them again. our mains arrived in prompt time and i think my falafel shrawma wrap was the favourite. it was a fairly large wrap (made with they delicious flat bread) stuffed full of falafel of chilli yogurt sauce and some veg. it was so incredibly good that i probably had one bite too many after proclaiming that i was full. it 's served with a salad on the side which is good as anything else would have been too much. we also had the mixed sharwma platter with lamb and chicken, rice, and an okra stew thing. the okra was really good which surprised me as i 've not been a fan before. and the chicken sharwma was mouth watering! i 'm pretty sure next time i 'll have that in my wrap over the falafel. both of us were stuffed after sharing the two mains and couldn 't manage to finish them. next i think we 'll go with just one main! the portions are pretty massive. this is a totally great restaurant and i wish that my original deliveroo delivery had been to a better standard. i 'll definitely be back here as the food is too delicious to pass up! not to mention speedy service which means when you 're tired and can 't be bothered cooking this is a good place to go for a reasonably priced quick meal."

"Website is deceiving, and does not show the reality. The website is beautifully designed, and visually opulent giving the impression of a large, plush interior. The menus included brunch, main, dessert and drinks. The actual restaurant is very small cafe, with extended outside seating, with a few staff members lounging around. Arriving for lunch at 12 noon, the whole place was empty, and booking was unnecessary. The staff were disinterested in our arrival. We had to seat ourselves. Seating was comfortable. When asking for a menu, were told to scan a QR code on the table, and when trying to order from the main menu, was told that only the brunch menu was available. The smoked salmon and scrambled egg dish was nicely done and tasty. The ice tea was overly sweet, but the coffee was decent. It was clearly a Muslim eating place, posing as an European restaurant, with the name 'Boulevard '. That Friday, a crowd of Muslim men from the nearby mosque in Regent 's Park came in after prayers. They were treated differently, excitedly welcomed. It was clearly their regular haunt. It felt like an eating place for Muslims, where non-Muslims were not particularly welcomed. However, the other customers were friendly, and more polite than the staff. It was quiet and easy to talk, until the crowd arrived. Overall, the price for the meal was not worth the experience of eating there. Service charge was included, although service was bad. We would not go back."
