Pomegranate in Manchester

Great portions and great flavours

Beautiful food, large portions.

Stunning Persian food and beyond amazing service. We went for a work due and everyone was so happy with the food freshness, quality, and price. The best appetizer was the chicken liver hands down 😋 Darina was our host and she has been incredible; from recommendations, service, to checking over and catering for our needs. 10/10 for everything, a must try just you are in the area.

Had the lamb fillet, it was the best I've ever had and the warm pomegranate compliments it so well

Food was absolutely phenomenal, one of the nicest meals we have ever had & we eat out a lot. Lamb was succulent best I’ve ever had. Everything had so much flavour. Staff were so lovely hospitality excellent. This was our first time this evening but definitely won’t be our last 😊

Love it here. Food amazing. Highly recommend

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere

Starters were really nice with lots of flavour, interesting and felt freshly cooked. Mains however felt a bit bland. It seems the sauce and meat are cooked seperately so the flavours had not come through. Generous portions and nice atmosphere. Price reasonable

I'd heard great things about Pomegranate so was looking forward to giving it a try. I had a kebab with half rice/ salad. The meat was really delicious but the salad was just straight out of a bag with no discernible dressing and the rice was just that: no sauce or taste (dry). The plate hadn't been warmed so the food went cold straight away. I told the server about the salad and rice problems but she made out that was my problem and even smirked a little.

Stopped in here for dinner, and everything was delicious. Had the eggplant dip with naan for entree, chicken stew and grilled lamb/chicken dish with rice and salad for main. Service was excellent as well!

Can’t fault it. Lovely evening and amazing food! Cozy vibes, lovely atmosphere and great staff that really made us feel welcome. Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing food, our first time visiting and we will definitely be back. Please go and try it, unbelievable food!

Fantastic food and such wonderful service. Lamb dishes were amazing.

Amazing authentic food, great service and we even had pomegranate seeds in the water... Lovely touch to complement the theme

Recommended by a friend. Fantastic recommendation! Food was amazing, service was great - very fast and extremely polite and welcoming. Will 100% be coming again and bringing friends!

Esta fue nuestra primera visita a Granada y no decepcionó. El servicio fue excelente, con personal muy amable y la comida era increíble. Tuve el kebab de gambas y fue uno de los mejores platos de kebab que he probado. Alta calidad y precio razonable. Definitivamente regresaré.

Food was great and so was service. Would come back again !

We didn’t have a reservation but we were happy to sit outside under the warmth of the heaters. Service was excellent. Polite, helpful, charming and professional. And the food! The food is absolutely delicious. Fresh salad, excellent hummus and probably the best stewed chicken I’ve ever eaten. It will be the first restaurant I visit on my next visit to Manchester.

Fantastic little place with a lovely atmosphere. Super tasty food based on authentic recipes. Parking is a challenge in the immediate neighborhood but you can park in the hospital's car park a corner away for really cheap. Table reservation is recommended.

Really nice food and nice people. My son recommended and we had never eaten food like this. So subtle & fresh. Chicken & lamb done to perfection. We strongly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely come here again. Thank you.

Great food, lovely service, soothing vibe 😁 the hummus was to die for!

Very good persian food in relaxing environment.

As a visitor from Northern Ireland I have enjoyed a lovely evening shared with very special friends in a pleasant and authentic setting. The food was most delicious and the staff extremely pleasant and attentive. This has been a most memorable and positive experience. I highly recommend Pomegranate.

Incredible food. Really enjoyed this visit, thoroughly recommend.

delicious food, the rice was to die for

Ordered a delivery. The quality of meat/chicken is average. The marinade is so bland. I cannot express how bland this kebab was. The delivery package was ripped (this can be the fault of the driver or cheap quality packaging) The portion is very small for £19 per portion. The "saffron" rice has been microwaved and has a plastic smell to it.

A lovely restaurant with young, kind and hard working staff, set in a nicely decorated building and a cozy atmosphere. The food is really nice and well cooked, I've never had rice as nice as they do it here! Would certainly recommend to people especially students who may be close by.

Delicious food, tremendous tastes and great Service

There are very generous portions and a great wine list too. The food is very tasty and the staff are lovely, would recommend!

Great place to have some food and chill out. Excellent customer service and quality of food. every dish tasted delicious and I had a great time eating them.

The Barbarine and Pastachio rice was incredible and the lamb fell off the bone. Great range of choice on the menu. Definitely recommend and will be back soon.

One of our favourite restaurants. Such a treat go eat here. Lovely embiance, lovely stuff and delicious food. Have been coming here for years and will keep coming.

One of my favourite restaurants!! Their service and food is always good.

We absolutely love it here! The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection and the staff is lovely. My personal favourite is the kebab and the rice which is to die for!

Lovely Persian food and a lively atmosphere. We were a family party of 7 eating at 8pm on a Friday night which was a very busy time for the restaurant. The staff were curteous and friendly. My husband loves Fesenjan with the chicken, walnut and pomegranate, he said it was one of the best he has had nice and strong (he is from Shiraz). We had a selection of main courses, Bhagli Polo, Zereshk Polo, Koobideh and some naan. We all enjoyed the presentation and the food, The different rices were very nice. We also had a Jug of Doogh, always tasty and refereshing.

Amazing food and great service. Food was fresh and really felt like a healthy / wholesome meal. Excellent value and flavours. Will definitely come again

Really good service and delicious food! Ordered the lamb shank and it was a bit tough so I asked for a sharper knife. The waitress noticed the issue straight away and replaced the dish; the new lamb was tender and fell off the bone. Baklava was also divine. Definitely be back when I can.

Incredible - the best persian restaurant in all of Manchester. Thank you for a lovely time.

Food is unreal (very tender meat and buttery rice), nice cosy atmosphere, really big portions and lovely staff! Will be returning:)

Order the food from this restaurent, the food was not fresh at all, especially the broadbean rice they give us the overnight rice to fool the customer, I spent totally nearly £60 for the food. Totally dissappointed and they service is bad as well. Definitely not recommed for this restaurant. Waiste my money did not get the good food and service.

Please add Kobideh to your menu

Pomegranate restaurant claims to offer Persian cuisine, but the reality falls short. To add to the disappointment, the staff's behavior is rude and inattentive. Overall, it's not worth the visit if you're seeking genuine Persian flavors and good service.

Gorgeous food, great and very friendly service, will definitely be back and would absolutely recommend

Food was very good but quite to my taste. Dish was very sweet.

As a Persian I must say the quality of the food was really bad! This is not authentic Persian food sorry. Better quality ingredients need to be used. The atmosphere, decorations and music is nice though. Also the olives and baklava were lovely.

Best tasting food I’ve eaten for a while. The hummus was amazing. Staff were very courteous. If you’re looking for something a bit different to the usual restaurants then give this place a visit.

Lovely food and the meat sauce was delicious!

Excellent Persian food. Good service

Such a lovely evening with such tasty, fresh food and kind staff. Will definitely be coming back

Delicious and hot. Always good, thanks!

Fantastic night out, food amazing & so friendly there. Would highly recommend Definitely go back. Great value for money. All made fresh ingredients.

Completely wrong order delivered. I’m veggie so can’t even eat what I have been given!

Me and my family love coming here, the food is beautiful, the owners and staff are wonderful and there is such a warm welcoming atmosphere! Can't recommend highly enough.

Pomegranate Restaurant Didsbury A very wet evening 2 nd January my daughter suggested Pomegranate to celebrate her birthday a girls meal out . It was quiet to be expected on a wet early January evening but we were not disappointed ! We went for the January offer 3 courses for £29 …the Baklava had to go home with us far too satisfied with first & second courses ! Not eaten Persian food before we had no idea we went for Hummus dip & a crisp naan , salad of Asparagus , Walnut & Feta with a divine dressing chose two main dishes Fessenjoon, Chicken in a tangy walnut & pomegranate sauce Badernjooni lamb with aubergine & chilli Both served with half salad & rice A bottle of house Red We can’t fault service & presentation although quiet we had a lovely evening we will definitely go back on my next trip from Yorkshire !

Tasty, authentic food with a lovely calm and homely atmosphere. Really enjoyed!

Nice cosy little place. Amazing food. Lots to try. Good value. Great service. A lovely couple of hours on New Year's Eve, for my wife and I. Thanks

Absolutely fantastic food. Never had a bad meal here.

A great new find for us, so good we returned the next week

Fantastic family-run restaurant, with delicious and varied dishes, good service and reasonable prices.

First time here and very very good quality of food customer service spot on no complaints at all defo will come again very full bell thank you for slice of cake for my birthday nice surprise 😘

Delicious food, will definitely be coming again! Great vegetarian options too. Thank you!

It was a delicious food Although the price was higher than the quality and quantity of the food The place was so busy so we couldn't eat well The menu was not complete as an iranian food For-example koko sabzi came without bread But the staff were lovely also we enjoyed our first time being there. Kebab was soft and well cooked. We paid 50.30£ for one starter and two main

Best Persian food i have ever tasted

The food was delicious. My Lamb with dill rice was wonderful, the salads we shared were wonderful. Highly recommended.

Here again for our anniversary tradition of our first date, the service and food never disappoints, highly recommend a visit!

Lovely tasty food. Pleasant interesting decor. Very nice service. Easy drinking wine. I'll be back!.

Lovely restaurant. Some of the best food in south Manchester! So good.

Little gem. Delicious food and friendly staff. Recommend for food and atmosphere.

Busy on Tuesday night says it all, the lamb shank and the chicken kebab were absolutely delicious. Some of the best and well priced food I have ever eaten with a family owned feel and help and professional staff.

Wow what an unbelievable atmosphere, the food was out of this world. If I was on death row, without a doubt I would come here for my last mea! Great service and a massive thank you to Sandia. I will be coming back for more

Delivery arrived minus 2 items ! This is the second time this has happened! The first time just eat gave us a refund on to account! We then ordered this and got the refund on this order. However this next order was missing 2 items ! So we had to ring them again!? Still wafer missing items !!!

Love this place. Been a few times now. Food is fantastic. The service is perfect. Nothing is too much trouble.

First time trying this place this evening & it didn't disappoint. The food was delicious. The restaurant homely with some stunning pieces to entertain the eye. The service was just as I like, friendly and relaxed, not feeling rushed. I'll be coming back, I'm sure.

Superb food, service and atmosphere.

Food was excellent, shame I didn't get any photographs, the only issue was our group was made to feel as if we had to rush out food.

Delicious food, beautiful appearance. Very artistic. The atmosphere and the food was excellent. Service was perfect. The food was ready for everyone at the same time and very quickly.

Delicious and very tasty food. Big portions of food, and lovely desserts. Great service and cosy atmosphere. We went to celebrate our anniversary and we were positively surprised with the quality of the food.

The food quality is the best between Persian restaurants in Manchester!

Fabulous food, great service. A real hidden gem. Consistently great food, change of menu when needed.

My first visit to the pomegranate and it won't be my last. quirky little place, food was very tasty and nicely presented. Lots of atmosphere and great service.

Only on the area for the weekend and wanted something we couldn't get near home. Great choice beautiful food, great service and a lovely relaxed atmosphere

Really lovely meal with lovely service. Food was excellent quality and very tasty. Very well priced. A gem of a restaurant.

Our food was piping hot and delicious. 😍😋 We enjoyed our meal and will definitely order again. 🥰👍

The staff were polite and attentive, and the food was excellent especially the starters, the houmous with mincemeat was gorgeous Would definitely recommend 👌

Amazing food - starters, mains and desserts all delicious!!

Fresh, tasty food nicely presented. Efficient service. Simple understated decor. Will definitely have a return visit.

Very tasty food, great value, friendly service, would recommend! Delicious food and excellent service I will be returning

Fantastic Persian Cuisine. Excellent customer service and delicious food.

Went for a meal with some friends and we all loved it. The food was delicious, there was a great selection on the menu; I could happily go back again and again without getting bored. The staff were really friendly. They made a minor mistake because they thought I'd cancelled my booking, but then made every effort to accommodate us, moving tables around to ensure they could fit us in. In the words of Arnold, I'll be back

Delicious food and plenty of it. Nice small cosy restaurant.

I had a goats cheese, asparagus and mushroom dish which was absolutely delicious paired with a Herby naan bread. Will definitely order again.so fresh and tasty.

Love it here, lovely meal and drinks, good service and friendly staff.

I just wish they would not call it Persian food becausr unlike Persian food, this restaurant's foods are tasteless or even have bad taste. Ghafghazi Kebab didn't taste as it should & smelled & tasted aweful. Please get a proper chef. I am glad that you're not selling Kobideh & Barg because they were aweful too. Only Zaytoon parvardeh & salad were good.

If you want delicious authentic Iranian food cooked and served with pride and passion then go to Pomegranate. The mirza ghassemi (smoked aubergine) and herby bread starter was second to none. The mains of gormeh sabzi (tender lamb in rich herby sauce), zereshk polo (chicken in safron sauce with barberry rice) and bakhaali polo (lamb shank with broad bean and dill rice) were all mouth wateringly tasty and generous. The staff and service were highly efficient and friendly. We will definitely go to Pomegranate again at the first opportunity. Merci.

Great little restaurant lovely food !

I really think I could eat at Pomegranate every single day! The food is divine, especially the lamb. I wanted to gatekeep this place but I implore everyone to go! You won’t be disappointed! Just be aware of your chosen payment method as they don’t take American Express!

First time to this restaurant. The food was excellent and there was a good selection to choose from.

Delicious authentic Persian food! What more could anyone want? And staff are lovely and the atmosphere is great. Prices are very reasonable too. Can’t wait to come again! :)
