Let me start by saying I live in North County, I may be older than their target customer and chasing a parking spot is not my idea of a good time for any restaurant. With that said, I WILL BE BACK! Holy Smokes we had such a great time, with such great food, that I will gladly hunt a damm parking spot to eat here again! Fortunately a member of our party is originally from the area, knows the food, and the language so that helped I'm sure; and at this point I'm very comfortable going back on my own. Where do I begin?! A group of five of us shared the Salad Sampler Platter, the Adjaruli (must try!), Khinkali, and the Golubtsi and for the 5 of us that was plenty. All were fantastic and you can't go wrong! I had a Pomegranate martini w/Vodka, and a Basil martini w/Gin and while the Pomegranate was a bit too sour for me it was still good and the Basil was superb. We finished off the meal with shots of sour cherry and blackberry infused vodka that was amazingly delicious. As an 'old guy' that hates parking challenges, between the super friendly staff and amazing food and drinks I can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu! read more

I got the lamb stew, which was solid, though I personally preferred the regular lamb plate I've had here in the past. Since I don't typically eat much lamb, it was just an okay dish for me, but the rest of the meal really stood out! My friend ordered the cabbage rolls (gołąbki / stuffed cabbage), and those were super delicious. The pierogies were also fantastic--especially with those incredibly tasty caramelized onions on top! Beyond the food, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the interior is nicely decorated with cozy, modern lighting. read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 8 pm and were seated immediately. It was very hard to find parking and had to circle the neighborhood a few times before finally getting a spot a few blocks away, so definitely allocate time for that if coming on a weekend. We got the salad sampler, pelmini, braised lamb and beef stroganoff. The salad sampler was fine, I'm not sure why we got two of the potato salad since the menu says it's 5 of their most popular salads and other tables around us got 5 different salads but the rest of them were good. The pelmini were great, and the braised lamb was a HUGE portion with tons of meat. Unfortunately they were just sold out of cabbage rolls and some other dishes we wanted which was really disappointing so if you want to try those I definitely recommend coming in earlier. The lamb was still delicious, and we also liked the beef stroganoff which had a smokier flavor than normal stroganoffs we've had. Overall, it was a pretty good experience and I'd like to come back to try the cabbage rolls and am hoping this night was an anomaly. read more

We got a couple of Eastern European beers (a lager and a porter and they were both good). I would recommend getting the lager if you want something light and refreshing and the porter if you're leaning towards the dark side. The Adjaruli is a must-have!!! It's served table-side and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot melty cheese. We got the beef stroganoff and the lamb stew (chakapuli) for our mains and both were also bomb. We were so stuffed, we didnt have any more room for dessert. All our food were top notch and we would definitely come back here. Our server Anne was a delight! read more

We had reservations for a party of 11 this past Saturday (8/15/26). Because of the size of our party, the restaurant had us call our chosen entrees ahead. I shared the following: bread with cheese salty; bread with egg mixed with feta and mozzarella; salad sampler and stuffed cabbage. The serving sizes were generous. My favorites were both the stuffed cabbage and salad sampler. Each was delicious ! These I would definitely order again. The bread with cheese was too salty for me. I found the bread with egg somewhat salty with an interesting texture. Glad I tried them , but not a fan to reorder the next visit... We sat inside. It was very noisy and it was difficult to hear each other speaking . The decor was dated and I just saw a lot of the color pink. We visited during a heatwave and the dining room was unbearably hot. Even at 6:00 PM, it felt like eating in a steam bath because there was no air conditioning. While they had the windows open and a few small ceiling fans running, they did nothing to cool down the space. It was simply too uncomfortable to enjoy the meal.l read more

People always rave about this place, but I didn't love my experience here. The chairs are very uncomfortable and the restaurant itself was insanely loud where we had to shout at each other to hear. The server had to crouch down so we could hear her. It was a disaster and I ended up with a headache by the end of it. Tried lots: - Pear Soda (Russia) - soo good! This was very refreshing and not overly sweet - I loved the idea of the Salad Sampler Platter as a way to try multiple things in small batches. I wish more places did something like that. The Olivier and Kavkaz Beet Salad were the agreed upon favorites of the table - The Khinkali were much bigger than we expected them to be. Sadly, they were very disappointing: the dough was too thick, there wasn't a lot of meat filling, and, other than being doused in pepper, it was bland - It was my first time having Russian Borscht and I wasn't a big fan of it. Polish borscht is much tastier in my opinion. The bread was a hit - Chakapuli - best dish for sure! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned and paired perfectly with their rice - Shashlik - this was cooked very nicely, but was way too peppery. The rice was overcooked I'd give this place a 3 overall, but minus a point since I left with a headache. read more

This was my second time visiting Pomegranate, and I was happy to find that everything tasted just as good as I remembered from my first visit two years ago. Consistency is something I really value, and they definitely delivered. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and our waiter was incredibly kind. He took the time to explain how to eat khinkali; which made the experience even more fun. If you've never tried them before, it's a great place to do so. Everything we ordered was delicious, but there are a couple of things worth noting. The menu describes the golubtsi as being served with a tomato cream sauce. I didn't mind it, but if you're not a fan of carrots, it's something to be aware if. Also, the khinkali has a bit if cilantro mixed into the meat filling. I enjoyed the flavor, but one of my friends wasn't expecting it, so I thought it would be helpful to mention. I'd recommend coming with a group of 4 or 5 friends so you can order a variety of dishes and share everything. It's the best way to experience the menu. Just keep in mind that reservations are only available for parities of more than five people. Overall, a great spot for a cozy meal with friends, I'll definitely be back. read more

I have been wanting to check this spot out for years. We walked in early on a Friday. It was my husband, toddler, and dog. We sat on the front patio, the inside was already packed. Our waiter gave us recommendations. We ended up getting some dumplings and one of the breads with cheese and egg. It was so delicious. We honestly should have stopped there, but we wanted to try the lamb shank. It was also so good. The portions are very generous. The service was fast. It was fun to try a new type of food too! read more

We came for a birthday dinner and had a nice time. The team really gets into the birthday song. Location is on a busy street with no dedicated parking lot, street parking only. We found a spot pretty easily one block away. The food was enjoyable, we tried multiple different dishes and desserts. Photos attached with names of dishes. Food prices were $15-27/dish and cocktails were average price. Atmosphere was relaxed and clean. Service was friendly. Overall, good experience. read more

Great food and service! I don't know too much about Russian food, but our waiter Eddie was great at explaining the entrées. My favorites were our appetizers: Khinkali - Beef and Pork Dumplings and Adjaruli Khachapuri - Egg and Cheese Bread Bowl. The Honey Cake with Dark Cherry Ice Cream is delicious too. I would definitely come again. The Moscow Mule was very good. Parking is a challenge on a Monday evening and one in our party gave up and drove home. Also we were celebrating a birthday and $25 cake cutting fee was a bit much so we just ordered one slice of cake for 6 of us. The ice cream was the birthday treat. I would return for the appetizers and try other entrees. Chakhokhbili - Lamb Shank Stew was tender and tasty too but too heavy of an entree after having the appetizers. I look forward to having it later this week. read more

Pomegranate Restaurant - Dinner with my son - Russian Near Me - San Diego, California

I highly recommend this restaurant!! This is the perfect place to not only try something new but get delicious authentic Russian-Georgian takes on classics we all know and love like the pierogis which were fantastic potato onion-y bombs that had a smooth texture and felt like a hug in my tummy. The caramelized onion on top looked like bacon, it was sexy. Don't even get me started on the bread bowl. This is MUST order item. They bake them in batches because of how popular they are. They bring out a piping hot bread bowl filled with the oooey-gooey cheese of your dreams and an egg yolk in the center. For an elevated factor, they preform some carbonara magic and mix in the egg table side, which I loved. It was fun watching the cheese change in color and texture, and the egg yolk adds a yummy rich unctuousness that keeps bringing you back in for more!! It was our favorite dish far! We ended our meal with the lamb shank which was cooked to perfection. Like the bone is literally for decoration. The meat dropped from the bones like panties booooy my jaw dropped. The sauce was extremely interesting and pretty acidic maybe from the plum and white wine (not sure if that even makes sense like are plums acidic tbh?) but it pairs beautifully with the flavorful rice it's served with. My only complaint is that they didn't give enough rice, it needs significantly more, so maybe order an extra side of two?? I highly recommend trying the meat and rice separately and then trying them together. It took me on a fun flavor journey I've never been on before. The restaurant itself is super cute homey/rustic aesthetic, I loved the eclectic lamp and art collection that had everything was unique and fun! The service was amazing, every single person we interacted with was nice. I think they only hire beautiful people or something. We went around 7pm on Friday night and only had a 10 minute wait which was a pleasant surprise! I also like that you can dress up or down. Although most people were dressed up when we there, I didn't feel out of place even though I was in jeans and a tank top lol read more

An absolute gem my husband and I have loved for years. Right across from the Lafayette, Pomegranate is a cozy Russian restaurant that consistently has a line out the door. The pomegranate martini is a classic, and we always have to order the famous cheese bread. The stuffed cabbage is the entree I keep coming back for, as well as the hospitality. One of my favorite restaurants in North Park, the friends we introduce to this spot also end up loving it as much as we do. read more

All the food here were really good. The place was packed with reservations and they still managed to get us in with a bit of a wait. Service was also really good, the servers really know their menu. Our tour guide ordered all the right things. The beers might seem a bit pricey but that's because it's the tall bottles, pretty much more than 2 mugs worth. A good selection of beer and Georgian wine. There's are lots of indoor seats plus some outdoor. Doing family style would be the way to go here read more

First time trying Russian-Georgian food, and it was pretty superb. Parking is way difficult to find, I had to circle around the block a few times and get lucky. Inside, I was surprised to see a lot of seating in the restaurant and it was packed on a Friday night. Our server was great; she thoroughly explained the menu and gave some great suggestions. Overall, the food and experience was great. It was solid, but it wasn't astounding. Pierogis, 7.5/10: These came piping hot and made to order. I wished these were stuffed with some protein, personally. The pierogis had a nice bouncy chew. The flavor was there from the onions and cream. Although, without any protein, there was a lack of texture variety since it was one mushy bite. Lamb chops, 8/10: Seasoned and cooked very well. I liked the accompaniments of pickled onions and roasted vegetables. They were a nice addition, I even asked for more pickled onions. read more

I've never had real Russian-Georgian food, nor did I know what that really entailed until Pomegranate! Located in North Park, this family-owned restaurant is a neighborhood favorite! The staff is so incredibly welcoming and the service was super attentive. You kind of feel like you're entering somebody's grandma's house when you walk inside. We got their famed Pear Soda, Borscht, Beef Stroganoff, and Shashlik (only served Friday- Sunday). I didn't expect to like the Pear Soda as much as I did! According to the waitress, it's a crowd favorite. Super refreshing and a flavor we don't see as often as we should. The Borscht is a soup featuring beetroot cabbage and beef. A really yummy start to the meal! I don't know about you, but I've only ever had instant or frozen Beef Stroganoff. Having it fresh and intentionally made was a game changer! You can either have it with pasta or mashed potatoes, I chose the former. It was so creamy, warm, and comforting! For the Shashlik, we went with lamb chops and it was served with some rice and a side salad. Soooo good! You can really taste the charcoal. I'd definitely recommend timing your visit to land on Friday- Sunday, so you can give this a try! read more

This place is always a hit when I take friends that have never tried this place before. I always get their khachapuri to start and am never disappointed by the soft, pillowy bread paired with the salty, gooey cheese. Tried the golubtsi for the first time and the whole table very much enjoyed the taste of the cabbage rolls. The staff are very friendly and are always willing to explain each dish, especially if it is your first time there. I also personally like the dimly lit interior but I know for some people that might not fit the vibe they like. However, I would not let this deter you from trying some really good Georgian/Russian food. read more

We celebrated a friend's birthday dinner at this restaurant, and it was my first time trying Eastern European and Georgian cuisine. Their website's slogan is "Homey Eats, Warm Hearts," and it definitely lived up to it. The service was excellent. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us several great recommendations, all of which turned out to be fantastic. The food was delicious, and everyone in our group left happy. The standout dish was the Adjaruli appetizer--a cheese-filled bread boat topped with an egg. It was absolutely mouthwatering and quickly became everyone's favorite. I also tried a special drink called Kvass, a fermented bread-based soft drink. It had a unique, refreshing flavor that I really enjoyed. Two other people in our group ordered it as well, and it earned two thumbs up from everyone who tried it. To top it all off, our waiter sang "Happy Birthday" to the birthday girl. He was so enthusiastic that a few people might have wished they had brought earplugs! With that kind of energy and volume, he could probably land a job on Broadway. LOL. read more

My first time trying Georgian food and it was a great experience! We ordered a few things to share, starting with the salad sampler platter. It came with a variety of dishes that were all fresh and tasty, my favorite was the carrot salad. We were also drawn to the khinkali soup dumplings, which ended up being surprisingly similar to Chinese xiaolongbao, but larger and with a thicker dough. The standout of the dishes was the adjaruli, which was a bread boat filled with melty cheese and egg. The waiter brought it to us and stirred the inside to make a creamy and gooey cheese sauce that was perfect for ripping off the bread and dipping it. The restaurant is cozy and warmly lit. Like most restaurants in the area, it's all street parking, so you may need to walk a bit to the restaurant. read more

I've been coming to Pomegranate for more than a decade and it continues to impress with every visit. Anytime I have a visitor to San Diego this is also a place that I take them. The service is always good and the place has maintained its charm. Must try dishes are the cheese bread with the egg, the salad sampler, cabbage rolls and stroganoff with mashed potatoes. I also like to try which ever eastern European sodas they are featuring at the time. The flavors are so different and fun! I will continue to patronize this restaurant and tell everyone about it! Thanks for all the great experiences. read more

It's so refreshing to have something other than Italian on the dining out rotation. Pomegranate has delicious Eastern European food that isn't as easily accessible in the city. They don't take reservations, but the wait usually isn't too bad and there are a lot of places nearby to kill time if you need to. I love the atmosphere here. It's lively but still calm enough to easily have conversations and the tables are nicely spread out. Staff is super friendly! The cheese boat is a necessity. You've gotta start with the bread boat filled with gooey cheese and an egg. It's mixed to perfection and soo tasty!! I also love to pair it with pierogis. These are great appetizers to share as a table before digging into the mains. I'm personally partial the stuffed cabbage. It tastes so delicious with the mashed potatoes. The stroganoff is also good! Food here is so delicious and they also make a great drink too. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Love the Adjaruli Khachapuri! Very delicious, cheesy, and unique flavor! They mix the cheese and eggs in front of you. Beef stroganoff was pretty good as well. Both paired well together.

Came right at opening 5pm on a Friday and was seated immediately, but restaurant quickly filled up after. Disappointed because the staff was clearly rushing us, brought out to go boxes and bill as we were still eating. They just kept eyeing us and interrupting us. Started to feel unwelcome. Would want to go back and try the food but the service ruined the experience a bit. read more

Overall a very nice night. Parking is horrid so just know you have to search for some. We were greeted warmly and taken to the "other room" where is was so noisy we asked to be re-seated. And we were accommodated with a smile and quickly. We had the cheese, egg and bread thingy - they are known for it and it was amazing. But it was so filling we didn't have meals. We had an order or pirogies and they were super yummy. We also had the pomegranate martinis and so yummy.

My favorite was probably the Pelmeni especially with the dill-yogurt sauce and the Galubtsi. The chicken Shashlik was good as well, it had an interesting flavor that I couldn't put my tongue on and I liked it, but not sure it's a must get again dish. The cheese bread was insane and nothing like I had before. I love cheese so it was also a hit. Overall such a yummy spot I'll definitely be coming back to! read more

In one word: WOW! The place was interesting inside, there's writing all over the walls which we thought was kinda cool! Our waitress was incredibly sweet and made great recommendations. One member of my party preferred her cocktail a bit sweeter and she was prompt to fix it and make sure everything was to our liking. The star of the show is truly food. I'm sure I'll sound redundant in this review because of how great it was. There were a lot of first time dishes for us. The Adjaruli is delicious and they mix the egg yolk for you tableside. The Borscht was also amazing and so flavorful. Pierogis were fantastic. Beef in the stroganoff was tender and flavorful. The standouts for me, however, were the cabbage rolls (Golubtsi) and the lam shank stew (Chakapuli). The waitress recommended the Chakapuli and Im so glad she did! The lamb was perfectly cooked and the broth was flavorful and comforting. The cabbage of the Golubtsi was perfectly cooked and the filling was juicy and delicious. We will absolutely be back!

I don't think their food is as good as people are making it out to be. For context, I grew up eating Russian food and though my food preferences have evolved over the years, Pomegranate did not have the Russian/Georgian authenticity I was looking for. My boyfriend and I suspect the pelmeni came from frozen packets you'd get from a corner deli, the lamb shashlik was not even on a skewer(???) and the cheese bread was fine...but c'mon who can screw up cheese and bread. I really like the vibe and interior of the restaurant so it saddens me that their food was sooo mid. Save your money and go somewhere else in the area :( read more

Pomegranate Restaurant - Egg and cheese bread - Russian Near Me - San Diego, California

So where do we start? My grandmother was born in Rostov, Russia. I grew up eating Russian/Persian food. There was always certain things she would make that I always disliked. No matter what and how she made those certain dishes, I still chose to dislike them very much. After eating here, I was reminded that it wouldn't matter who made that dish I still despised the flavor and texture. Look I'm not living in the Great Depression, so flavorless meat wrapped in flavorless cabbage will never, ever, be my priority meal or go to bite. So we had dinner reservations here for my in laws 40th anniversary. After meeting the host and waitress/waiters first impression was liven up people! I felt as if I was talking to robots. There was one or two people who I could say were truly normal but the rest literal robots. Yikes! We ordered their "salad appetizer" pretty much every salad I ever disliked growing up was on that platter. Maybe one or two items like the salad olevieh which in my book lacked tons of flavor here and the ikra was alright I guess. Still didn't compare to my grandmothers ikra. The party I was with seemed to enjoy every bite. I on the other hand was not impressed. The "adjaruli" which we call ajarski khachapuri. Or just Khachapuri, which is an egg boat filled with cheese baked in dough. If you ask me, that's a breakfast dish, not something you serve for lunch or dinner. It was good, don't get me wrong but not something I would order for dinner. And for it to be 21 dollars was robbery, I can get better ones for 10-12 bucks with 2 eggs not one. Next the khinkalis we ordered were one of the worst things I have ever tried. Btw it was my first time trying khinkali. There's no way in hell I'm ever paying 5 dollars each for something that lacked everything it claimed to have been. 5 dollars each? Total scam. Where was the broth? Zero flavor. I can't believe people actually enjoy this stuff. Next the golubtsi, if I'm not mistaken, it had beef and pork in it. Not a lot of flavor either. Remember that cabbage dish I told you all about above? Yeah bad memories. Food here was as mid as mid could be. Nothing special so far. Beef stroganoff was the only thing worthy but for 27 dollars for a small bowl again, ROBBERY. And last the "shashlik" aka kabob, aka khorovots. No flavor on the meat. The rice dish was bland. A total embarrassment to that plate and the 5 leaves of lettuce with a tomato was a slap in the face to anyone. Nothing a proud Eastern European would serve I'll tell you that. I'm just thankful we got this dinner out of the way. If anyone ever recommends me the place ever again, for a fact I'll know they have zero taste buds. If you actually look around the restaurant, yeah it was busy. Filled with people who know nothing about Eastern European food. So for them, they have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Try some real Russian cooking, made at home from someone who knows a thing or two about flavor, you'll agree this place was nothing but a nicely decorated restaurant with horrendous prices and cooking. Yikes, I'm out! read more

Pomegranate Restaurant - Russian Near Me - San Diego, California

My friends and I had a great experience our first trip to Pomegranate. The restaurant has been around for quite some time, so I'm glad I was able to make it here finally. I've enjoyed Georgian food outside of the US but never actually had it in the States. Everything we had here was super tasty and well-prepared. The Georgian garden salad (similar to a Greek salad) was fresh and bursting with flavor. The adjaruli (cheese and egg bread boat) was really yummy. The bread was airy and light with a good mouth feel, and the cheese and egg mixture made it very savory. The shashlik was good too, and the sweet sauce on the chicken, while surprising, paired quite nicely. The desserts were a bit understated, which was nice. Sometimes overly sweet desserts can be hit or miss. The apple served in the Babushka's Surprise was so interesting and tasty, it was like the cooked apple inside of an apple pie, but melted into a slightly granular texture in your mouth, similar to applesauce. The Medovic honey cake was very pleasant--the cake had a great body and the frosting g was simple but effective. If you're looking for something a little bit different, this is a cool place to try out. I think the flavors are familiar enough that most people can find something they'll enjoy. read more
