About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Healthy
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.

    We had reservations for 5:45 pm which were made a few days in advance on Open Table. The hostess was very blunt when we asked if we could sit outside. She said you can, but you have to be finished by 7:15. Our drink order took 10 minutes to arrive. The Saffron Chicken kabobs had very little flavor and were dry. The rice was excellent. We were rushed from the table at 6:45 being told by the waiter we have to have the table by 7:15. Don’t recommend the kabobs or the service.

    One of the best Persian restaurants I’ve ever eaten in. Will be back in Greenville in the fall and will definitely dine there again.

    Everything about the dinner was great except there were people outside doing some sort of construction on the building.

    Had another great evening at Pomengranate on Thursday, June 5th. It was a perfect day for sitting on the outdoor patio. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the overall experience was wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!

    We were celebrating a birthday, and everything was great, including the excellent saffron ice cream at the end of the meal. We especially love the appetizer of bread, radishes, mint, cheese, and butter. We asked for two servings of the appetizers! The food was excellent. The service was great! A lovely evening!!

    A 10+++ Delicious, Fabulous & Perfect! What a culinary surprise to dine at Pomegranate. We went to celebrate my husbands 75 birthday and this was our last day in Greenville. The ambiance, outdoor patio, attentive & personalized service from Miss Morgan along with an amazing selection of Persian dishes that will satisfy your taste buds with a very happy dining and eating experience. We started with the Trio of Garlic/ Pesto Hummus, Yogurt with cucumbers & chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumber & herbs. Next was the Chicken Stew and a Chicken Kabob entree. For dessert, Morgan surprised Vic with a beautifully presented Coconut Pie drizzled with a delicious sauce on the plate. The food is healthy, tastes and looks amazing so put it on your Must eat at places in Downtown Greenville, Thank you for a wonderful meal and experience! We’ll be sure to tell our friends and come back often. JoJo & Vic

    Food and service were amazing but with the Jazz festival going on right in front of the restaurant it was very loud and they were allowing people to use their 2 small bathrooms so there was a line for customers. We will be back but we will make sure it’s not a night where there is something going on downtown.
