About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
Just a few steps from Falls Park, Pomegranate on Main serves authentic Persian cuisine with exceptionally flavorful beef, chicken, lamb, shrimp, salmon and veggie kabobs and basmati rice entrees, stews and starters. The entrees are gluten-free and naturally healthy. Owner and entrepreneur Ali Saifi learned Southern hospitality in his native Iran long before settling in Greenville, S.C., and opened the restaurant as a gift to the community that celebrates the Upstate’s melting pot of cultures. Enjoy a bistro-style atmosphere in our main dining room or open-air patio with water wall.

    Similar to other Mediterranean cuisines, Pomegranate’s take on Persian is classic, well seasoned, and refreshing in every bite. The pesto hummus is great but the roasted eggplant was more flavorful than I could imagine! I’ve eaten here twice now, ordering two different entrees and different starters; each were delicious!

    We were looking forward to dine here after reading reviews but were disappointed. Food was just ok. The veggie kabob was supposed to have portobello mushrooms but had only a very small piece and rest were onions and few peppers and eggplant. The “babaganoush” equivalent had more tomatoes than eggplant. They would not open a new bottle of wine for me to buy a glass (on menu). I was told it would be a waste to do that.

    We loved the warm and cozy atmosphere, the service and the beyond delicious food. It’s perfectly located in downtown surrounded by a lot of cool shops and restaurants. Make sure to reserve a table because they’re always busy. Highly recommended.

    Pomegranate is a favorite restaurant but last night was a dud. Server looked gross with rings in his nose and tongue, too many tats and too much facial hair. We had out of town guests and it was embarrassing. Martinis were presented in dumb looking glasses. So disappointed. Look at your reservation book and you’ll see how many times we’ve eaten at Pomegranate. Next time we will go to another restaurant.
