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.

    As always, Pomegranate on Main serves delicious Persian (Mediterranean style) food. My husband had the Lamb Medallions and he said they were "spot on"! I am vegetarian and loved the Fesenjan Stew. Large servings, too; we both took a little home to have for lunch. Hummus starter was also delicious. Nice wine list as well as great cocktails. Highly recommend!

    We got the shrimp and chicken combo and split it. It came with six shrimp and six chicken along with the delicious basmati rice. Plenty of food for two people. Pomegranate ice cream was a good choice to end the meal. Our server, Melissa, was great!

    Pomegranate is always at the top of my list whenever I'm in downtown GVL ready for a bite. Their Persian Mule and Pomegranate Pinot are must haves, as is the complementary Persian breakfast - who knew fresh unsalted butter, mint leaves, radish and feta on a fresh pita square was such a phenomenal flavor combo?! You can never go wrong with a kabob - chicken, steak or vegan - and do yourself a favor and opt for the cranberry basmati rice. We love to sit at the bar, watching and conversing with the bartender as he plies his artful trade.

    Excellent introduction to Persian food. Party of four with reservations at 5:30. We were immediately seated and watched the dining room fill up quickly. Everything was wonderful.

    Pomegranate martini and Persian mule to start. Started with classic hummus and shirazi salad. Torsch beef kabob and shrimp kabobs for entrees. Finished with in house chocolate cake. The food was all excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. Can’t go wrong here.
