The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, making it really enjoyable to see and taste. The flavors were perfect and truly satisfying. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The restaurant was quite busy, so at times it was a little hard to get the staff’s attention, but that’s completely understandable given how popular the place is.

Continues to be a favorite! Delicious and most importantly - consistent! Can’t go wrong with several dishes but our favorites are the golubtsi (cabbage rolls) and sampler platter which is great for 2 people. Don’t forget to try Georgian wine and beer or the vodka flight. Friendly staff and unique atmosphere.

Pomegranate – A Passport to Authentic Russian & Georgian Cuisine Pomegranate isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a rare gem where true Russian and Georgian flavors come to life without the need for a plane ticket. The borsch is the real deal: rich, hearty, packed with tender beef and vibrant red beets—just like the classic recipe. The pork shashlik? Grilled to perfection, so authentic it took me straight back to when I was grilling it myself at ten years old. And the Georgian khinkali? Juicy, fresh, bursting with flavor, and perfectly paired with their signature sauces made to order. If you’re craving bold, soulful Eastern European food without leaving town, this spot is an absolute must.

This place is so delicious. Worth the wait, but also worth sitting outside to get a table quicker. Everything on the menu has great flavor. I love the cabbage rolls, beet salad, borscht, beef stroganoff, and of course the cheesy bread boat.

I recently dined at Pomegranate and had an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The herbs used in the dishes were aromatic and you could tell they were straight from the farm. The flavors were fantastic and the price was reasonable for the quality. The only downside was the parking situation, which took some time even on a weekday. It’s also good to note that reservations are recommended. Overall, we had a wonderful time celebrating a friend’s birthday here!

Wow. Just fantastic. Delicious food, excellent service, interesting decor, and lively atmosphere. For a more quiet experience, plan to finish your meal around 6pm. Things really begin to roll by 7pm (Sunday). Simple menu with nice variety and vegetarian options. Remarkably flavorful meals. Parking requires some patience and hunting on nearby streets, but a short walk gives sufficient options. Totally worth it.

Environment was cool. Staff was friendly, but she forgot us after a while. Kanchapuri was delicious, strogonoff was good. Dessert was ok. Pomegranate wine was bad

The beef stroganoff was pretty good and the chicken stew. I did care for the cheese bread, it seems bland to me. The portions were really small. I’m not sure what is in these food, but I could hardly stay awake driving home 😴

Let's start off with how awesome our waiter, Eddie, was. Can't speak higher, he was so helpful in menu selection, funny and knowledgeable. We hadn't tried Russian/Georgian food before and he was helpful in what to order, mindful of our walnut allergies, and how to eat or pair the food authentically. We ordered the Khinkali and Chakapuli. Both were really good, but our favorite was the lamb stew - so flavorful and came with yummy rice. Lemon, mint, tarragon flavors and the lamb was cooked to perfection, fell right off the bone - it was a delicious cozy meal. We also got marani chacha shots, Georgian beer and a pomegranate martini which was so good! (Also made by Eddie) Highly recommend to trying this spot and the cuisine!

This was our first foray into Russian cuisine. It was a refreshig surprise! The food was very tasty, and the service was great. The atmosphere was lively, and the portions were generous! The only complaint is parking can be tough, and inside dining space is tight.

We ordered the food to our home. Borscht was cold when it arrived and it was good but not too good. The pelmeni were good but were also cold and had all stuck to each other. The salad though, it was the plate with all the salads in it, and I’ve never had russian salad that was this bad. It had no taste, even the vegetables didn’t have any taste, they were all so bad that we didn’t even touch them after tasting them. For the price, this was a very bad meal and I would never eat from this place again. If you’re charging so much for food, at least get the proper takeout boxes so the food stays hot and fresh, the plastic containers felt soo cheap.

The food was delicious and authentic. We loved the pierogis, cabbage rolls, lamb shank and the famous cheese bread. Food came out surprisingly fast. Both our pomegranate cocktails were delicious. However, I probably will not be coming back here due to a few reasons: 1. No parking at all, especially on a Saturday night. Drove 25 minutes around the neighborhood only to park 2 miles away. 2. No reservation for less than 5 people. We checked in at 550pm and did not get seated until 7pm. I rather pay a reservation fee for 2 people than wait that long to eat. 3. Bad service - once our server took our orders, never once came back to ask for a second round of drinks and only to bring the check and dessert menu. It’s unfortunate because I really enjoyed the food but the parking and reservation system makes visiting this restaraunt more of a headache than an enjoyment.

The food is great, everything was super tasty. All the staff (except the hostess Elizaveta) is lovely. For some reason, she had an attitude towards me which threw me off. The water had a very chlorinated smell. Otherwise a great place for some Slavic food.

I was craving some of the foods posted by so many who've eaten here that I finally went. Service is really good; the staff is very attentive. The atmosphere is okay, a bit dated. The walls all over the dining room had messages and graffiti scribbled on them from the base of the tables almost to the very high roof. We tried several dishes, some were I believe appetizers. First was the beet salad... it was surprisingly good despite saying it had walnuts (didn't know how they would taste with the beats. The salad was kind of pureed. Next we had pelmeni, a kind of small dumpling filled with chicken and served with a dill yogurt sauce. Very tasty. Next we tried the cachapuri (potato and cheese).served very similar to a 10-12 inch pizza. I was hoping to get the more traditional shape, although I doubt the taste is different. I had never tried it and it was quite tasty. Personal preference would have been if the bottom would have been crisper, tasted a little undercooked. The best part of our meal was the honey cake. They drizzle a pomegranate molasses on top of a scoop of vanilla ice cream that is served with a very generous sized slice of this exceptional dessert. Another comment is we never got a clean plate after we were served the beet salad, suggest they provide clean plates with every dish served. Again, the staff and service were very good, food was tasty but nothing out of this world, other than the cake.

The stroganoff was great. Enough noodles for a small child, Noodles are cheap. They weren't even egg noodles, they were rotini noodles which are cheap. You could afford to give more noodles. Enough stroganoff for double the noodles provided. The cheese boat with egg, had no egg. I had to make an egg and add it myself. It was undercooked, cheese was barely melted. I don't think it was worth the $53.88 I spent to pick this up. I'm disappointed as before Covid when I dined in at the restaurant it was amazing. No more words. I hope everyone else has a better experience than we did tonight.
