They were dog friendly on the patio, and the food was great. They understand the food is new to customers and are good at explaining.

Excellent meal and service! If you want a truly unique and delicious dining experience then you must try Pomegranate on Main. Order the hummus and pomegranate martinis to start!

Authentic Cuisine, Made Fresh

At Pomegranate on Main, every dish begins with tradition. Our menu is prepared fresh daily using time-honored Persian recipes and vibrant, wholesome ingredients. We create a balance of flavors — sweet and savory, earthy and bright. You’ll taste it in our signature Fesenjan stew, where healthy pomegranate meets rich walnut, and in delicately prepared basmati rice layered with lentils and raisins. All entrees are gluten-free with various vegetarian options.

Since 2007

Inspired by Greenville

Since opening our doors in November 2007, Pomegranate on Main has been sharing the rich culture and cuisine of Iran with the Upstate. Owner Ali Saifi created the restaurant to bring the warmth, heritage, and flavors of his homeland to the community he has proudly called home for more than 40 years.

Pomegranate Martini

We were the first to introduce the Upstate to our signature cocktail, a mix of Svedka vodka, Pama liqueur and pomegranate juice, served with a frozen grape. If you like them somewhere else, you will love them here.

Roasted Salmon

Guests travel from near and far to enjoy our fresh filet of salmon seasoned with a traditional Persian onion-and-saffron marinade, and paired with basmati rice. You can add our salmon kabob to any lunch salad.
