What People Say

Reviewers rave about the fresh ingredients, with standouts like the saffron chicken and ghormeh sabzi. The welcoming staff and inviting atmosphere earn consistent praise, especially the outdoor seating area which adds to the downtown charm. Many mention how surprisingly quick the service is—even on busy nights—making it an ideal spot before a concert. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also noted as pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that indoor seating can get a bit noisy during peak hours, and parking in the area can be a challenge on event nights—so plan a little extra time if you’re driving. A few reviewers wished for a larger dessert menu, but most agreed the main dishes are the real highlight.

The Bottom Line

Pomegranate on Main is a flavorful, fast, and friendly option for concert-goers looking to enjoy something a little different before the show.
