“I always put myself in patient’s shoes and therefore had to step in when I saw people committing suicide due to unprecedented financial hurdles,” he said before adding. “As an experiment, I rented out this place and opened this restaurant Boulevard13.”

Jilani explained that the name of the restaurant is a respect to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) because M is the 13th letter of the English alphabet.
