What a cute restaurant! I was sightseeing in the area and popped in for breakfast before starting a long day of sightseeing. The service was extraordinary, I was so impressed! The prices are good, and the food is quality and really tasty! I had the Buddha bowl with the jalapeño yogurt sauce and it was perfect. Filling, healthy, and delicious! So happy to have found Muriel's! read more

Came in got afternoon tea, and it was a very pleasant, and surprisingly affordable experience. We spent less than £40 for two people, and felt it was a great value. The serving comes on a beautiful wooden bench, with sweets and scones on the sides, and the sandwiches on the top. The sandwiches were scrumptious. Salmon, avocada, chicken, and egg salad; I could shove these down my mouth all day long. Yum! The scones were also phenomenal, fresh tasting and served with a scrumptious clotted cream and strawberry jam. The sweets were just ok in my view. There were a few mousse/jello type desserts we didn't care for, and the mince pie and pound cake were also unremarkable but fine. There is a selection of about 6 or so teas to choose from. Everyone also gets a min berry smoothie. The ambience in the restaurant is perfect for afternoon tea. Rustic, cozy, and laid-back, it was very pleasant to sip tea here. One more thing checked off in London. read more

Omg first time here I loved it! The food was great and the service was impeccable. I ordered the burger but the best part of it were the crunchy french fries! Also the tomato bruschetta was amazing and freshly made. The place was also clean and the ambience was chill. Definitely somewhere to go for brunch. read more

This place was recommended to me. And boy, it did not dissappoint! Awesome place, lovely interor style, friendly and helpful staff and the food was just delicious. I had the Popeye Breakfast (for 8.50£) and a yummy cappuccino, followed by a green juice (apple, cucumber, celery, spinach, mint). I would highly recommend this place! read more

What a gem this place is! Got taken here by a fellow lawyer, and I was amazed at the homely feel of this place. The plates are very cute as well, felt like they would suit a Cathy Kidson store. Decoration is simple but very pleasant. We were a party of 3 and shared a breakfast type platter with scotch egg, cheese, bread and some other ingredient which I have unfortunately forgotten now. The scotch egg is my highlight so far, it's very light and melty inside and I was a happy bunny. It was huge as well, I ate only a quarter!! We ordered a slice of carrot cake and it was massive, 3x the normal small ish cakes you would get in other cafes, and it also did not disappoint, it was soo nice. There is no more reason to go to Paul and fight with the crowd in there anymore. This place is so much more pleasant and the food and much more worth it. They serve arizona peach ice tea, this is an amazing drink...I'm looking into sourcing this for my home...hehehehe Spoke to a friend about this place, they said there is a table with swings here, not noticed this but next time I'm definitely checking it out. read more

Walking past made me completely intrigued. Going in made completely 'un-intrigued'. The interior looks cute, but doesn't feel that way. It's not comfortable or cosy.. It feels like big fake charade to me. Even the numerous plants are fake... They say they are modern European, but don't even serve Fresh mint tea. In fact, even don't know what it is.. The service is too much in your face/back/everywhere. Never thought I would ever say this, but they were too attentive. Or maybe not even attentive, but kind of all over you. In terms of the food - well, it wasn't bad, but nothing breath taking or wonderful... Nothing that would invite me back.. Reminded me of school dinners, but ok tasting. Especially when I got pieces of turkey cut on precise thin slices. Call me crazy, but I think there is something wrong about uniform looking food.. It's getting potatoes in separate bowl etc.. As petty as it might seem, when all those little details come together it just feels off.. Oh, I've almost forgotten.. This place is the kingdom of fakery and pretends... I got it now... read more

Pretty bad Food is precious and then warmed up when ordered. Was drawn in by claims they had slow cooked pork... But sold out by 8 or 8:30. Since it is precooked, burgers cannot be prepared to order (from what the waitress said they are medium rare). Settled on the chicken which had little to no flavour even with the onion chutney. Ordered a rum and coke but couldn't taste any rum (although was allegedly a double). Basically avoid this place at all costs. I haven't used Yelp in a couple years but downloaded the app to write this review. That is how bad my meal was. read more

We came into this place after lunch at a different restaurant with the intention of grabbing coffee and desserts. On approach we weren't confident as we were a group of 6 and they looked busy. However when we got to the door we were promptly seated and told that just ordering coffee and cakes were fine! The restaurant is much bigger inside than it appears and it has a fresh welcoming decor, think summer park! The seats are well placed and there are spaces for groups or couples. We ordered a selection of desserts accompanied with either coffee or smoothies. The deserts were really good, generous portions (great to share) and very tasty. The drinks were all well made and it all turned up pretty quickly. The service was also very attentive, we were well looked after without being pressured. I took a quick look over the menu while I was in, and plan on coming back to try some of the very reasonable prices salads! read more

Lovely decorated place. It truly looks like "grandma's kitchen/living room", which is their whole point Be it that you're looking for a roomy table, an elegant one, a comfy sofa o some fairy swinging chairs!. Food was tasty, portions are big and lavish, wether you want to plenty your stomach or just grab a piece of cake & tea. This is the place. I went there last Sunday afternoon, and the place was packed. However the atmosphere was still enchanting, and the staff very friendly. Music too loud though, I had to raise my voice to talk to my friend next to me. read more

A delightful place this is. A good starting point for your Sunday brunch, morning breakfast and casual retreat for coffee, buns, cakes and whatnot with friends. They say first impressions count more than most other things. The feeling you get when you look in from the outside, and more importantly when you walk in do in this case hit all the right spots. Cozy, friendly and with a bit of grandma's love, this is a simple yet extremely welcoming place. I've only come here for mid morning breakfast on a weekend, when coffee rules the first few hours of my day and am less inclined to indulge in a feast. For this, it did what I wanted, they provided decent coffee (Southern Europeans may look away now as it might not be up to their standards) and some delightfully yummy morning grub, including some lovely buns, sandwich and viennoiserie. I'm one for a juice in the morning and their energy packed fresh juices really do go down well. Overall, I'd go again, especially when the cold is present and the weather uninspiring for anything but indoor activities. Oh, and they do wifi which is great to share a shot of yourself on social enjoying the warmth, the food and the drinks. read more

The decor in this place is beautiful - it's light, summery and super girly. I'd say the food is also aimed at those with a delicate / feminine palate as its heavy on the salads and light on the carbs. I enjoyed a 'combination plate' of salad, which is a choice of 4 salads for £9.99. This included butternut squash and feta, smoked aubergine, winter slaw and carrot and kale salad. The portions are massive and I must say I got a bit bored halfway through. There's a limit to how much salad a girl can eat! However, it's great value for money, service is swift and it was bright and empty. If you're into healthy food with lots of gluten free and vegan options you'll love it as much as my friend did. If not, you'll still love the prices as £9.99 for a decent sized meal is great value in the Soho area. read more

We have been here in a Saturday evening. Despite the many waiters the service was a mess. The food came after ages and the English starter platter was horrible (like a meal from Green Monday. . . ) we paid 20 pounds each. The two stars are for the taste of the food and the great decoration. read more

Nice place with great interiors. Feels just like someone's kitchen. Food is a bit random and was ok but not fantastic. It's a bit pricey but it's tourist central so they can get away with it! Worth a visit for a cup of tea and a slice of cake but that's about it! read more

When here for tea and cake with a friend after an exhibition trip. I love tea and cake, so most places that bring me what I want, it's tasty, and without dropping it are going to get a pretty high score from me. Staff were pleasant but a little flustered, tea was lovely, and the cake was the size of bunting flags- definitely recommended for cake! read more

Very cute place with rustic theme decoration. Quite busy, if you don't want to wait call earlier. we ordered plates to share and they were amazing! First we ordered a baked camembert cheese (amazing), English platter (amazing except the scotch egg), quinoa raspberry cake. The restaurant serves British style with a twist. We also received a voucher for free treat (red velvet cupcake / coffee / glass of house wine) for our next visit. Call and reserve for the table with swing! read more

Summary based on one late weekday breakfast: --tried this place out instead of my normal, nearby Patisserie Valerie. --ok service --not that great food. Over seasoned porridge. Missing one of the listed ingredients in my companion's dish. --a little more expensive than warranted --pleasant enough ambiance, but tables are too close together There are better choices in the area read more

I'm a tourist fm San Francisco (which says that I'm frequently spoiled by good food) and I must say this place is a gem! The ambiance is simply amazing, the food is great and the service is superb :) we were sitting at the table by the window and the theme is like a garden setting where our chairs are those lil swings you would only see in those fancy backyards in the movies. As we were enjoying our dinner we were swinging with the beat of the music they were playing (good selection btw). One of the most relaxing dinners I have had. This place is way too cute to be true and I just felt in love instantly. I'll attach pictures for you all to see just to prove my point ;) read more

This place is super cute, and the food is good. Not sure why it's not four star. Me and my friends had brunch here and we had so much fun, felt like we were sitting in a nice living room. I had their omelette. read more

Good breakfast I had the avocado dish on a toast and Gil had the Steak and eggs. Both were good. Lovely bloody marry and coffee. read more

Muriel's kitchen is very cute and there are some really nice touches like the swinging chairs. We went just for cake and a drink after dinner. The service wasn't bad, the manager was really great but the other staff weren't quite so switched on. I shared the stack of brownies and Nana's chocolate pot. They were yummy but very filling. I also had a banana milkshake which was delicious! I would definitely go back read more

What a lovely spot for a lunch, cup of tea or cake. Disappointingly however, I have to say on both my visits (lunch and breakfast) the venue and decor was a lot better than the food. This is not to say the food was particularly bad but neither was it of a standard to match the effort they have put into the ambience, which is a great shame. The lack of effort they put into the food is probably a symptom of getting enough tourist trade that the quality of food does not have to attract repeat business. The place is usually pretty quiet for breakfast during the week but very busy for brunch and lunch at the weekend. The décor makes it a pleasant place to spend an hour if you are stopping for a cake or coffee but expect average food if you need something a bit more filling. read more

Ideal place for brunch - cute decorations, lovely breakfast menu. Very popular though so it gets crowded easily.

Beautiful deco inside makes for a very attractive brunch spot. I can see why the popularity. Food was good, could have seen better portions for the prices! read more

We were looking for somewhere new to eat on Saturday evening and happened to wander past Muriel's in Soho. Tempted by the overpriced treats in the window (almost £5.00 for a slice of cake!), we decided to give it a shot and push the boat out. The interior looked promising and the place seemed to have a nice buzz as we waited to be seated. The service was relatively friendly but rather hurried. We took our seats and perused the menu, taking a sneaky glance at what the couple on the adjoining table were tucking into. We deliberated for a while and chose drinks, starters and mains. The warm cider seemed very tempting, as it was a rather chilly evening. However, when we came to order the waitress stressed that they didn't have any and it was something they were serving at Christmas (this was February 1st! and it was still listed on the menu) We then came to order our starters and were promptly informed that the two meals we had chosen (scotch egg and a tart) we both off the menu. It was only 8.00pm! It was then we decided to give up and try and different watering hole. As we got up to leave the waitress said she didn't blame us! A real shame - but I doubt very much that we will be making a return trip. First impressions count and Muriel's really do need to get their act together, especially when they are expecting customers to invest in the over-styled decor via the modest portions we saw being served. read more

Bland and mediocre but nice ambiance and service. Burger tastes just like a Big Mac from mcd's, you decide if that is good or bad. Pizza was bland mostly but it has hints of greatness which it ultimately fails to achieve. read more

Lunch with butternut squash soup, pork sliders, quinoa cake, and a salad of feta, spinach, squash. Excellent visual presentation as well as taste. Great service. read more

This place is very cute. The food is good, but nothing special. The service was off: the eggs I ordered were cooked sunny side up even though I requested them scrambled. They fixed it, but then I was charged for two meals. They fixed that too. read more

If you are visiting in the winter time all I have to say is get the mulled wine. It is out of this world and the desserts are great too. We also stopped in for breakfast one morning and everyone enjoyed why they got. read more

Really loved it! Great spot and the service was first class. Came in with two jet lagged relatives from the states and couldn't decide between this and Patisserie Valerie. We were not disappointed. Friendly, clean, great food. Egg custard tart was pretty great! read more

Really liked the place... Went there twice for breakfast. Tried the egg and the pankakes and it was delicious. A bit pricey but the service is great and the design of the place is amazing! The breakfast size is small-medium. read more

Very stylish restaurant. I find it a little overpriced, also with most of the dishes you need to order the sides separately. I find that a little silly. I like to have a complimentary side paired to the dish, if it's down to me I have chips with everything which sometime may not be the best choice. I love the decor, and it's a definitely go to for coffee and cake, but as a restaurant it failed for me. The food feels a little mass produced... It may just be my impression. read more

Came for the afternoon tea which I have to say, was a really disappointing experience. The staff however were extremely accommodating and friendly. We came early for our booking and they were really kind in finding us a table in spite of a quite full restaurant. When the afternoon tea arrived it looked just like the picture in the homepage - inviting and delicious. Unfortunately the lovely display was just for show. The sandwiches were dry, the tea lukewarm and the cakes were uninteresting. The best part was the brownie bite (not bites - as there were only one) which was quite nice and chocolate rich. The sandwich filling was completely lacking taste. So unfortunately the food was a boring experience. The restaurant itself had a lovely decor- very bright and welcoming. Another thing we found extremely annoying was the sound level of the music. It was so loud it actually made it impossible to have a conversation. Looking at the constant flow of guests I hope we were just unlucky with our food - however that made our visit quite disappointing and I will not be returning. With such a vast number of lovely eateries in London I see no reason to return to a place which in my view was at best mediocre. read more

Solid comfort food. Had lasagna which was good and filling, but was a bit too oily. Matcha latte was nice as well

I went to the Soho branch because I'm a fan of the South Ken Muriel's Kitchen. The South Ken branch has a better atmosphere and food. I have the full English; I realised late that I should have ordered something more upmarket as the plates of french toast on the next table looked fab. read more

This is my first review (hope not the last on Yelp) Nice atmosphere cozy and comfortable! Nice dishes , Great Service ,Cute decoration Ps. We order Benedict & Florentine read more

Cute decor with ok food. Don't see why the lasagna is "famous" and the service was a bit dodgy.

Tourist trap. This place upholds the English tradition of bad English food. The window dressing looks great so I went inside - on holiday in London for a week. Ordered traditional English breakfast. Practically inedible. The toast was hard as a rock, eggs looked and tasted gross, a vile 'sausage' and pure lard bacon. If it was not my first (and only) meal that day I would have left. I asked for a glass of water - got lukewarm water. If I wanted ice water it would have cost 2.50 BP. All in all - Revolting. And cash or Visa only. read more

Two horrible experiences with service in Muriel's leaves a foul taste in the mouth. The first visit three weeks ago was not dazzling. The restaurant was empty (which should have set alarms off) yet we stood at the entrance for several minutes waiting for someone to seat us. Once two members of staff finished a heated discussion, one came over and seated us. The service was slow, the food mediocre, but the room was charming.......and so we decided to give it another chance today. Once again we waited at the door although the place was not busy, but admittedly, a very charming lady came over once she noticed we were about to leave, and made sure that someone seated us. We were seated, and for ten minutes nothing happened. We watched as staff tidied side stations, wiped windows, engaged in conversations with one another, and we were ignored. We got up and walked out, and nobody seemed to notice that either. Anyway, we went to the extremely busy Cafe L'eto, where they managed to provide both friendly service and decent food. read more
