About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • 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.

    Love this restaurant. The only ding in this review is due to their addition of new tables for deuces. They are solidly in the path of servers and awkward for the customer to enjoy their lunch. Felt like a diner situation.

    Reliable West End Greenville eatery did not disappoint. Some good values on the limited wine list. Celebrated a Birthday. Great service from Israel and the team. Not crowded on Tuesday night.

    Excellent experience. Walking distance to all downtown Greenville hotels. Dined on the covered open air patio. All entres are gluten-free and primarily grilled kabobs. Served with rice & veg. Flavorful. Restaurant and wait staff were busy. Town was busy on a Friday night for proms and wedding parties. Would eat there again.

    This place is amazing! I first tried it as take out and it was outstanding then. I just took my daughter for a birthday lunch and it was so delicious. Highly recommend!!! Service was excellent food was spectacular. The only complaint is the table we had. It was just the 2 of us but the table was so small and close to a group of people that it was like we were with them. Luckily we were almost done with the meal. Will definitely be going back.

    It was Laurie and her two sisters first time dining here. They loved everything about the dinner. Hummus was greatly appreciated and the beef and chicken kabobs will be ordered again, soon. Eggplant badajan was the biggest hit. Service was outstanding and ambiance was perfect!

    The food was very bland which was surprising. The menu makes the dishes sound very flavorful but you really only get bland rice, bland meat, and a tomato… the portion of hummus was on the small side — not shareable between more than 4 ppl. The table was kinda sticky.
