About Pomegranate Restaurant
Persian food done properly is rarer in Didsbury than it should be, and Pomegranate fills that gap with a kitchen that treats the classics seriously. The room has stripped wooden floors and the kind of warmth that makes a birthday dinner feel genuinely celebratory rather than just booked. Lamb shank is what people order most, and with good reason — it comes up again and again as the reason for a return visit. The naan, the broad bean rice and the king prawn starter are the other dishes reviewers keep naming. Service is the other constant: staff here are described as lovely by almost everyone who walks through the door, and the care they bring to the room matches what the kitchen puts on the plate.
