I was starving and saw their booth and a chalkboard of menu options I've never tried or heard of before. I approached and when asked what I would like, I was honest that I was unfamiliar with their cuisine but I trusted them. They asked how I wanted it and I said "how you would eat it! They made me the most incredible meal that has ever passed my lips. I followed Habibi Village on their Instagram so I could chase that high- and boy did I. I NEEDED more of that unique deliciousness. But I was saddened that I was only able to get their Za'aatar once or twice a week and had to travel to multiple spots around the city to a variety of markets and at such limited hours. It is with all of the joy in my heart to support Habibi Village at their brick-and-mortar location as they have grown to a full time spot. Their owner absolutely POURS his soul and spirit into this business and into every meal he serves the community. Plenty of restaurant owners love what they do and love their patrons but this owner stands above and beyond when it comes to passion. This gentleman cares about his food and his patrons on a deep and genuine level that you feel and taste. I clearly can't praise Habibi Village enough. Thank you for what you do for our community and our bellies!

My takeout was ready on time. While the falafel roll still might have been better fresh, I wanted something that I could plausibly eat several hours later on a mountain without a ton of restaurants nearby, and that choice worked out well. Many falafel rolls come with add-ons that I don't like, but the pickled turnip offering here was both flavorful and colorful. I also got their fries, drizzles with tahini and parsley, which is a good way to eat fries. A case of baked goods and a small market section of canned items were also available. There was certainly space to eat inside or out for someone without my travel schedule. It's also notable that in addition to the usual falafel, they offer ample vegan options as befits the Asheville community, including a house seitan and some other vegetable and fake meat options. I was happy with what I got, but the choice is always appreciated.

Overall, this is where to go if you've got a seriously empty stomach and are craving Middle Eastern cuisine.

We originally fell in love with the Chicken Kabobs, but after trying the salmon, it quickly became our favorite dish. The salmon is perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. We live in Asheville, so dining at Pomegranate on Main is always a special treat. We especially love the cranberry basmati rice and always ask to substitute it for the basmati rice mixed with dill and lima beans. Our waiter, Christian W., happily made the change for us. Christian provided outstanding service throughout our meal--friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure everything was just right. We also love the Pomegranate Martini and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys martinis. During this visit, we were skipping alcohol, and Christian suggested the Pomegranate Mojito instead. It was refreshing, flavorful, and absolutely delicious--a perfect non-alcoholic option. What keeps us coming back is the consistency. The food is always excellent, the service is always top-notch, and the entire dining experience is one we look forward to every time. Pomegranate on Main is well worth the trip, and we highly recommend it!

He refused to take my order. I drove over because they advertise being opened until 9. Another customer walked in after me & said "don't bother they do this all the time."

In the time it took him to be rude to me, he could have took my order & made a pita for me to go. So I went next door to the Mexican & they were more than happy to serve me with zero drama.

The staff are great and when I left a cash tip they came back to me outside and said they don't take that! Such a refreshing change from the normal in the US.

Reading the prior reviews which are mixed will also give you some better advice for what to do when you do order. Will say the flavours are that of street food. Being AAPI MENA heritage, I value Mediterranean cuisines highly, with the understanding that everyone cooks differently with different preferences. Pro tip: order additional sauce on the side if you prefer a saucy pita. As is, the falafel mini pita was a healthy portion size, and I ordered two to try out. As is, the falafel is not dry, but is very lightly salted, and the vegetables are freshly served and crunchy. I did enjoy the mini pitas and will return to try out other options as well. Customer service was great and has closer attention to detail, as each order is cooked in the order received. So allow additional time for cooking when arriving. If you are wondering, would I return? Yes, indeed! Street food is a craving, and this place is excellent for this. Worth trying if in the area. Remember to order extra sauces and a side of hummus. The ambience is casual dining.

Having worked…read moreyears back in a traditional Greek Kitchen and accostumed to the taste and quality of the food, I can say that the food was not bad at all, but I expected a bit more flavor and the gyro meat not to be dry as it was. The tzatziki was the best thing of our four orders. I will add that not all plates on the menu online they have upon your arrival and I know and it is stated when you order that the meal is cooked to order, still, the order took over 25 min. to get, during this time we can see both cooks in front of us just talking and cracking jokes while they moved slowly around the kitchen. We did not ask for anything extraordinary and probably the slow hands from the cooks it was got us dry food at our table... I will add that some customers had two big dogs in front of us, one of which was aggressive to some of the other customers and while I understand the place is dog friendly and we love dogs, this one was making everyone nervous and the owner instead of doing something about it, just talked to the owners about the pets like nothing was happening, I guess you can't read the crowd in this sense.
