Kabobs are expertly cooked over an open flame on long skewers and served alongside perfectly paired basmati rice to maintain the harmonious flavor profile. Desserts, homemade by the owner Ali’s wife Nancy, range from moist chocolate cake to coconut custard pie. The entrées are naturally healthy and gluten-free.
Pomegranate on Main’s signature Pomegranate Martini is a guest favorite, and the restaurant continuously innovates with artisanal cocktails. Their curated wine list offers selections to satisfy both novices and connoisseurs. Lunch offerings are priced between $9 and $15, while dinner ranges from $16 to $32.
