Pomegranate Restaurant — Restaurant in Manchester

I checked out this place over the weekend and the food was just alright. I’ve never had Persian food like this before and not in a good way. Even the bread served with a warm starter felt more like naan from an Indian restaurant than authentic Persian bread. The rice was also quite different from what you’d usually get at traditional Persian spots, which was surprising. That said, the Mirza with naan and egg was delicious and definitely worth trying, and the chicken we ordered was very soft. None of the dishes had any real kick to them, likely tailored to the local demographic but they did have nice flavours overall. The customer service was excellent, and the decor was quirky and charming. Parking is available on nearby roads, free after certain hours in the evening. I’d recommend giving it a try once, but I don’t see myself going back for...

Pomegranate Restaurant Didsbury A very wet evening 2 nd January my daughter suggested Pomegranate to celebrate her birthday a girls meal out .

I came here with a friend this evening. We booked a table for two and we were seated quickly in a cosy booth next to a radiator. It was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful, offering opinions and information to help us decide our orders. Drink prices were reasonable too with a glass of wine and gin and tonic (with thyme pieces in) costing just over £10. We ordered the Hummus starter, the bell pepper stuffed with Feta cheese starter, one of the Pomegranate chicken kebabs, and the zereshk polo for mains. The food arrived promptly and it was beautifully cooked, full of flavour, with very tender chicken pieces. We finished with the baghlava and bastani for dessert. Every course was gorgeous! Very impressed and will 100% be visiting...
