The environment is welcoming, and within walking distance of the downtown walking trails. Cozy seating and kind staff. The choice for lunch was made mostly for us, offering a cafeteria style meal. You either choose meat or vegetarian and the plate is brought out to you. We were surprised with chicken as the day's choice of meat. Ordered naan on the side, a simple vehicle food, used to dip in the spicy dipping sauce they serve and any of the foods on the plate. The dinner menu is more expansive.

I had in my head that this was a place where you could get a nice combo platter, but that's apparently only for lunch, so I had to pick one dish. I was quite happy with my selection though, with their interpretation of daal being a hearty, thick, if overly salty stew noticeably different in taste and texture than the Indian version I so often eat. It did not come with rice, but perhaps that was not so bad as ordering a naan turned out to be well worth it. A gigantic bread, it was delightfully charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and was just about right for mopping up a full plate of lentils. Adding a chai resulted in a cardamom-flavored beverage that wasn't particularly sweet. There were plenty of vegetarian selections that looked worthwhile based on what other tables ordered. I still wish I'd been able to sample more, but I was happy with what I got, and indeed I can't recall an Afghan restaurant I've been to with better-executed vegetarian dishes.

The flavors felt both familiar and totally new at the same time. They also host a family-style dinner on Fridays where everyone sits together at long tables, shares dishes, and it turns into a full-on communal experience with toasts and good energy. I couldn't make it work with my timing, but watching it happen made me a little jealous--people were clearly having a great time. The food itself was amazing. The khachapuri is a must-try--we did a sampler and got to try three types, which was perfect. Would go back in a heartbeat.

We first tried this restaurant at Taste of Greenville and have been meaning to get there. The…read morerestaurant is in an industrial looking area that has plenty of parking (and Tesla charging stations). There is a large lawn/play area with tables directly in front of the restaurant. You get seated by an employee then go order at the counter. A large bottle of water is brought to the table. Mom is a vegetarian and there are several options (not just salad) so she was delighted with the options. Our food was delicious and plentiful. The service was excellent and we will definitely be back. Only a few drawbacks- the signage in the building is not the easiest to find and if you sit outside and there are screaming kids running around it's difficult to have a conversation.

We stopped by on our way to ATL for an early lunch and to try this famous spot known for big and fresh flavor. We got there a bit before everything was available but we still opted for the beef plate with humus, vegetables, fresh potatoes bread and a salad. The pita bread was hot out of the oven and was amazing alone or wrapped around tender well seasoned beef and hummus. The gentlemen that took our order was so kind to answer all of our questions and tell us about the family business, and recommend mint tea and spices to try. He even gave us a dessert to try, cashew fingers! Very delicious and light. When we finished and started to leave, I pulled out a few dollars for a tip. The older gentleman stopped by the table and insisted we not leave a tip and was happy we enjoyed the food. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu and to say hello to this amazing family owned business.

Have you ever discovered that neighborhood gem worth the trip no matter where you're coming from? That's Ji-Roz. This Greek-inspired restaurant is located just a few minutes walk from NOMA on the quieter, residential stretch of Main Street. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance; intimate enough for a casual date night, relaxed enough for a long lunch with friends. And the food? It's guaranteed to spark conversation, with a symphony of distinct flavors that blend seamlessly into something truly greater than the sum of their parts. We order the spanakopita every single visit, and it never disappoints. The flaky crust gives way to a perfectly balanced blend of feta and spinach that sets the tone for the meal beautifully. The smoked octopus with capers is another standout appetizer. It's bold, flavorful, and absolutely worth exploring. For an entrée, don't overlook the fresh North Carolina trout served over a pea and mint purée, accompanied by Greek potatoes and roasted broccolini, and finished with a cucumber and caper relish. It's a masterclass in balance with every component complementing the fish rather than competing with it, resulting in a layered, memorable plate. The restaurant also offers a thoughtful selection of casual wines and beers to round out the experience. As we were leaving after a late lunch, we caught the chef making fresh pasta for the dinner menu. Safe to say, we'll be back and soon.

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.
