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.

    As an international traveler, I can honestly say that Pomegranate on Main was just exquisite. It is refreshing to know that there are restaurants that still care about creating an atmosphere that you don't want to leave and hire chefs that care and not just another cook. My palate was overstimulated and my mind was in another world. I highly recommend this to anyone who thinks they are a foodie.

    Loved everything about the experience. Appetizers were perfect with the pita bread complimenting the flavors. Lambshank was delicious, tender and flavorful. Shrimp and meat kabob combo was also excellent with shrimp cooked perfectly (too many times they are overcooked in this format). Wine list is ok, but found a bottle we enjoy. Service was great, attentive and gave some really good recommendations!

    We had reservations and arrived on time for an 11:45am lunch to an almost entirely empty restaurant. But the food took 45+ minutes (not hyperbole, actual time), causing one of our party to have to leave before they could even eat.

    We had never had Middle Eastern food before, but it is very healthy and delicious! We really liked the Saffron Chicken Kabob, the Tenderloin Torsh Kabob, the Barg Kabob, and the Shish Kabob. I'd skip the Koobideh Kabob next time. The yellow cranberry rice was excellent, too! I wish I knew our server's name, because she was excellent and really helped us decide what to order. We definitely will return to Pomegranate on Main when we go to Greenville again!

    When the four of us arrived, shortly before 11:30am, we joined a group of around 15 - 18 people already at the door. We had a reservation - which was good - and were able to choose an indoor or outdoor table. The weather was lovely and the server did a fine job with us. We will return.
