Pomegranate cannot be an authentic Middle Eastern restaurant Middle Eastern culture prides itself in hospitality, and this concept is unknown to Pomegranate servers.
I was meeting a friend in there. When I stepped in, instead of somewhat welcome, a server informed me that there are no tables and she cannot help me. what she did not say is that there were tables close to the bar, and I could have gone and looked for my friend there (who was there already). Fast forward and being reunited with the friend, I sit down and no apologies, no nothing. they promptly ignore me for 10 minutes, then the same server comes to take my order and literally rushes me. I ask about drinks, and she snaps that they have no ciders (I asked if they had them) and they she would give me a menu to look. Huh?
I ordered fesenjaan with chicken. It comes with a huge rice portion, but the stew itself had 4 tiny chicken pieces; the stew was ok but the taste was on a sweet side. It seemed very unbalanced.
The "best" part of the night started when I was half way through my meal. A bill came in abruptly. The servers started referring to some "deal" they made with my friend, and that we had to leave by 7:55. It was 7:50 pm. I was asked if I wanted to pack my meal with me. Excuse me? I am not done. They repeated 10 times that they really needed the table. This is just unacceptable, and if you do need the table that bad, how about remind people 10 minutes before they have to leave. We did leave at 8:03 after paying for the meal and leaving zero tips. We did not experience any service there, so that was fair, but the servers became even more rude, and completely ignored all my comments. Nobody cared even to attempt to apologize.
Obviously, I am not coming back, and I suggest that you always take your money elsewhere, unless you want to have a mediocre meal and be kicked out of the restaurant because the next party has arrived.
