"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."
