| - Most of our group had never had Persian food, and only one had been to Pomegranate before, so this was definitely a new experience!
They had two daily specials for $14.99 each, both lamb, one being a lamb stew with beets, fava beans, and parsnips, alongside their regular rice & salad combo. This had a good flavor and was on the runnier side, so you def needed to have rice with it. Slightly oily from fatty lamb but I was ok with that :p
The FENSENJAAN was quite lovely - praised by the repat customer of our group but too rich for another member, what with the walnut base of the stew
The ALOO GHEYSI had a good balance of tartness and sweetness, which I found ok as I'm not so much a fan of the sweet&salty combo
The ADAS POLO with lamb shank had fall-off-the-bone meat, which I didn't try, but heard to be cooked well, however there didn't seem to be any particular spices/seasoning to it. The main part of this dish that shined was the rice, which was enjoyable.
The only thing that none of our group was a fan of: the salted, carbonated yogurt drink with mint. I'm not sure I tasted any of the mint but the yogurt/carbonation combo did not sit well with my palate..
The staff was super friendly and accommodating for our group of 9 (we had made reservations), even though a couple of us were running late and wanted to hold off on ordering, and even though there was another large group booked for the table a couple hours later
Gorgeous decor, great service, reasonable prices - i def wouldn't mind coming back again :)
