Pomegranate (Broughton)

• The fact that it is BYO and no corkage so it instantly makes it more wallet friendly if you want to drink with your meal (and who doesn't
• The lamb topped hummus and naans are particularly good
• The desserts though are probably the best part Turkish delight
• Me and my partner are huge fans of eastern med food
• We heard Pomegranate (Broughton) was good and seemed busy most days when we walked past it
• It was 5 pm and no one was in the restaurant
• We assured her we were not going to sit for 3 hours
• It took her 20 minutes before she came waltzing over and said are we ready to order now
• Talking as if she had been waiting for days whilst tapping hard with her pen on the note pad
• We told her we were going to see a film and if we ordered so and so would they take long
• She just stood there with another waitress gossiping very very loudly
• It was hard not to notice as she was only a metre away
• Around 1.4 hours there was only one other table a group of 5 girls that came in
• The only disappointing thing was the size they're tapas sized dishes
• So I'm not complaining but when you really like a dish you just wish there was for everyone to get a full taste
• The rice they serve with their main dishes are generous and I wasn't even halfway finished with my meal before I started struggling to finish everything
• I really enjoyed the experience of trying new cuisines and this is one that I would definitely recommend for those who want a different restaurant from the usual burger joints and takeaways
• Surprisingly all of them were equally good
• The Turkish waitress was quite friendly as well and turned out to be a fan of Bollywood (Indian cinema)
• Presuming the Middle East is a delightfully pink building opposite the Playhouse that is
• It was a chaotic start to the evening but this was nothing to do with the restaurant &ndash
• The waitresses were extremely helpful and filled our table with Naan bread and hummus while we awaited the arrival of our final colleague
• I whipped out my fridge magnet bottle opener to get the party started but the waitress had already presented us with her bottle opener and the beers were flowing
• So much to choose from which is always good &ndash
• Very tasty succulent sausage with a good kick to the sauce
• The Moroccan Meatballs were great and the perfect main meal teaser
• One member was raving about Borek&rsquo
• This was all washed down with more Naan and our own collection of beverages
• Ll start with the Qozy lamb which was a huge and tender portion of lamb on the bone which literally fell off with the slightest touch
• Melt in the mouth brilliance served with aubergine tapsi
• The Kebabs were all lovely and tender and served with bamya which brought it all together
• The Chilli Gosht could have been hotter but this is coming from gentleman who takes pleasure is eating fire (may or may not be true)
• The sharwarma was plentiful and very tasty and one other got it served in a wrap with dips and thoroughly enjoyed it
• T fault the service again as just as you were looking for something to dip with
• Some went for a pallet cleansing sorbet with a selection of Mango and Rosewater
• Small nutty pastries served with ice cream was a good way to end great meal
• After paying the bill we were guided outside and down the stairs to a cosy area for the Shisha Bar
• We ordered several things to share them and before even finishing we were so stuffed I had to take some home
• Their vine leaves stuffed with rice are delicious
• The food and service was great and the waiter recommended we go downstairs and hire shisha pipes when we finished the meal and this was such a highlight
• Pomegranate is located on leith street close to princess street
• Easily accessible with decent ambiance
• Shisha is tobacco Free with many flavors
• The nice part is if you go with friends you have a separate room to have food and for shisha
• The best mezzes were hummes and dolma
• Dolma is stuffed with rice and has a bit of sweet taste and I must say this was the best dolma I have ever tasted
• They serve kebab with rice/salad and naan and it tastes good as well
• We had to wait for more than 20 mins for them to bring us another shisha order and they messed it up with another table so they need more planning and organizing to maintain their crowd
• Portions are generous and there are plent choices for sharing
• I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an authentic Arabian night
• Middle Eastern food is not something that I eat a lot of
• I was glad to see that the restaurant was busy when we arrived
• Pomegranate has a fun vibe when you walk inside because the decor is very vibrant
• The chicken was seasoned and cooked very well
• The service was not very attentive
• When we did they were very friendly
• Would recommend the rose water ice cream with the baklava
• It is a wee calm foodie oasis serving up some pretty fabulous mezze delights that will leave you with a full belly and a wide smile
• Its easy going an has lots of options on the meze menu which are suitable for veggies / vegans as well as plenty of options for omnis
• The olive salad and the aubergine is unforgettable
