Great Food and relaxed place
This is one of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh, its easy going an has lots of options on the meze menu which are suitable for veggies / vegans as well as plenty of options for omnis. I would highly recommend the ful beans,the olive salad and the aubergine is unforgettable, pretty much everything I've tried has been really well made, tastes great and served with a smile! see you soon Pomegranate!
Amazing restaurant. First stumbled upon this when attending someone's birthday in one of their private rooms downstairs. Have subsequently returned on many occasions. The food is always fresh and well seasoned. You can order small plates or go large on mains. Very relaxed atmosphere and you never feel rushed. They even do shisha pipes! Would recommend the rose water ice cream with the baklava. Best middle eastern eatery in town!
Middle Eastern food is not something that I eat a lot of, and isn't normally my first choice but I had heard a lot of good things about Pomegranate and I have wanted to try it for a while!
We booked to go here last Saturday to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. We booked very last minute, but still got a table straight away; I was glad to see that the restaurant was busy when we arrived, as I was concerned that the ease of booking meant that it would be quiet!
Pomegranate has a fun vibe when you walk inside because the decor is very vibrant. There are quite a few tables but it doesn't feel like a huge space, which is handy for providing an intimate setting.
It is BYOB, which means more time can be spent pouring over the food menu rather than the drinks! We chose to share a few meze dishes to start - Hummus Shawarma, Cheese Borek and Halloumi. The Hummus Shawarma was delicious; I would highly recommend it! I also enjoyed the Halloumi, but the Cheese Borek I found to be quite dry. For my main course I decided on the Merishke Kebab; the chicken was seasoned and cooked very well, but it was a very filling meal. I think I would opt for more meze on my next visit so that I can try a bigger selection of foods.Unfortunately, the service was not very attentive, it took us a while to get anyone's attention, but when we did they were very friendly
