| - I came here with my boyfriend on a Saturday night and made reservations earlier in the day. This is a small restaurant that fills up fast so I would definitely make reservations before coming here.
The restaurant is cozy and the servers are very friendly. The price range is moderate, with entrees running from $12 - $18. You can see the full menu on their website: http://www.pomegranaterestaurant.ca/pomegranate/menu.html
The Food:
Main Course
Me: morasa polo - LOVED IT
I really enjoyed my morasa polo, which is braised lamb shank and saffron rice that has slivers of seville orange peel, almond and pistachio with diced carrots and barberries. The lamb was tender and fell off the bone. The rice was delicious - premium basmati rice that was both salty and sweet with the addition of the orange peel and nuts. Yum!!
Bf: fesenjaan with lamb - LOVED IT
He actually tried to order the qeymeh at first but they were out of it. Not sure how often this happens - this was fairly early on a Saturday night (7pm) so we were a bit surprised that they were out already. But the waiter then recommended fesenjaan as one of their specialties and my boyfriend really enjoyed it. The dish normally comes with chicken breast, but my boyfriend had his heart set on lamb and asked if the dish could be served with that instead. The waiter checked and was able to accommodate us - yay! That definitely scored service points in our books. The waiter actually told us that fesenjaan used to be served with lamb before, but they no longer offer that on the menu, but if you ask for it, you can still get it, so good to know! The walnut pomegranate paste was really different. I thought it was alright, but my boyfriend really liked it. So much that he mentioned it again at dinner tonight (at Pomegranate's little sister restaurant next door) how much he liked it. That doesn't happen often!
Dessert - Ice cream and Mint tea - LOVED IT
The ice cream is homemade honey rosewater ice cream and it was really good. The flavours are very subtle and not too sweet, which my boyfriend really liked. The mint tea was simply fresh mint leaves steeped in water, but it was enough to give off a minty taste.
Overall, we really like this restaurant, for the friendly, accommodating service, generous portion size, moderate price and awesome food!
Lastly, I must tell you the highlight of the evening - I spotted Rachel McAdams dining there!! You can add celebrity hotspot as part of its positives.
I rarely give 5 stars, but Pomegranate restaurant deserves it heartily. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cozy, intimate restaurant with great lamb dishes and yogurt dips.
