This hole in the wall restaurant is run by the sweetest ladies. I feel like i'm in someone's home kitchen and being fed. Every thing i've tried here was stellar. The prices may be higher than what you're used to in standard cafes/restaurants but the quality and taste is absolutely worth it.

Excellent service and tons of vegan options! Tons of vegan pastries including baklava and tomato pies — It’s a butter-free kitchen! Sit outside and enjoy the peaceful space with towering bamboo ?

Either Mally is a culinary genius or Iranian food is what I’ve been craving all my life. (Or both!) Everything she makes is intensely flavorful, thoroughly nutritious, and warms the soul. Her hole-in-the-wall location has zero ambiance and really isn’t an eat-in venue, but Mally herself has a gracious & welcoming presence as she chitchats & prepares these delights. I’ve lived all over the world and enjoyed many cuisines; these are unique and among my favorites.

I ordered one lamb shank and side of a bean rice for $52. No server brings the food, food quality is very poor, nothing was fresh, food was so old that smelled. stuffy and filthy place, very dirty. plastic set and you bring your food to the table yet they dare to charge like a 5 star steakhouse. Overall order was $84. I just want the owner knows, just because we were visitors doesn’t mean she has to charge us triple of what a good restaurant in San Francisco charges. Shame

Tiny little place that left a big delicious memory. I feel as though I was transported around the world to a Persian marketplace. Authentic and delightful food and owner. Plan to eat on the patio.

Vegetarian options: Mostly veggies

The best vegetarian food I’ve had in a very long time. So incredibly flavorful and delicious. I bought the herb stew and rice from the owner/chef at the chapel hill farmers market and can’t wait to try more entrees from the storefront.

The menu offers a wide range of dishes, from Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian and vegan options, to fresh fish and meat dishes, all made with high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to make recommendations. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or lingering over a leisurely meal, Pomegranate Kitchen is the perfect choice for a truly memorable dining experience. I highly recommend it

Highly overpriced! $22.50 for rice and a sauce and then around $3 if paying by card… sure the owner is really nice…but this is unreasonable pricing for take out at lunch.

Ken Weeks

Delicious savory Persian food run by a single lady who could be your mother. Menu varies by day. I'm eating my way through the menu and it's all been excellent.

Vegetarian options: Every dish is vegetarian. You have to pay extra to add meatballs.

I went here for the first time today and the owner/chef, Mally, was so friendly, welcoming and helpful. She cooks authentic Persian food and everything I had was absolutely delicious- I highly recommend the pomegranate stew! The flavors of everything I had were exquisite. I can't wait to go back and try new items; she has something for everyone here (vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike)
