For me, the banquet is the best food & best value in Canb - a great range of perfectly cooked & presented dishes & ambience++

Visited with some friends. Service was lovely, very attentive, and the food was all delicious. The mushroom entree is great!

Great service and delicious food. We got the banquet menu, where every dish was great. The staff were super welcoming and friendly - very professional and knew their stuff. The food and wine came quickly, and were all very tasty.

Completely contrary to all the recent reviews, we had an excellent experience. The room is divided into relatively small areas that add to the intimacy and ensure you don't get to hear loud patrons. The decor is suitably subdued, so don't expect loud music and...stimulating colours. Others have complained that the menu doesn't change - this one of the Restaurant's strengths. It is clearly not chasing the "next big new thing" for those with poor attention spans. The portions are bigger than what you might have to accept elsewhere. My wife had three mushrooms for an entree - it would have been large enough for a main. My main was two portions of duck - superbly cooked and the best I've had for a long time. My wife's fish was exactly what she appreciated. As I wrote in 2016 - a must try in the desserts is the SEKERPARE, which is Almond, Semolina pastry soaked with honey syrup, served with Tahini Helva & Cardomon icecream. Outstanding - still. The place was full in the early evening, so that says a lot about the consistency of place. Service was attentive and appropriate. One good sign was that the chef (from Istanbul) was greeting customers by name on their way out. Highly recommended.More

Food OK, service sterile to icy. We went for dinner, the food as per menu, very tasty, somewhere between pub and fine dining in quality. BUT, I don't whether they are understaffed on the floor or what, but the service was brusque, sterile, icy, and...perhaps the least interactive I have experienced in years. It spoiled the evening experience. A busy yet quite noisy place.More

Drab and dated decor, prompt but impersonal wait staff, every good food. We were expecting a great dining experience to celebrate my wife's birthday. Unfortunately, despite the food the other elements weren't there. We gained the impression they couldn't get us through the meal quickly...enough. We won't be returning.More

Lovely dining experience with exceptional service and great food. Generous main of duck confit and side of kipfler potatoes. Good wine selection including local offerings at reasonable prices. Ambience was spot on.

We recently found ourselves heading back to Pomegranate - having insisted a few years ago that it was over-rated and that we wouldn't rush back. And nothing's changed. To be fair, the atmosphere is good and the service was pretty good. But from a food...perspective, the menu never changes and there is never the hint of a special. From the same menu that has existed for years, we ordered the duck and the spatchcock and, even though some people might say "what's the problem?", we both agreed there was just too much duck (two Marylands) and spatchcock, and not enough else not he plate to share with the protein. Sorry - but still overrated in a city with so many good dining options.More

As recent visitors to Canberra we found our favourite restaurant had closed, so decided on Pomegranate after reading the reviews. It did not disappoint & we had a wonderful evening. Service was efficient & friendly, food was delicious ( particularly duck ravioli ) & lovely...ambiance . A new favourite when visiting Canberra…highly recommended.More

We have reviewed this restaurant previously, was surprised at the scarce recent reviews so decided to post. Have eaten at the restaurant many times over the years: consistency has been the key to their success. So too last night, a lovely meal across all the...dishes. We opted for the banquet which was a very reasonable $79. The dips, zucchini puffs and prawn entrees were standouts. In the means the fish and chicken were particularly good. The wine list is very reasonably priced, we had a Spanish Tempranillo for $48 a bottle. A nice change from the offerings in other wine lists where similar quality wines are priced at $75+. Table service was a little clunky, we had to request water glasses to be refilled throughout the meal but it was a busy service and it did not detract from a very enjoyable evening. Happy to report the consistent high quality dining continues.More

Excellent service. Nice atmosphere. Good wine list. Great food - we had the $75 banquet. Enough said. Highly recommended

A consistently exceptional restaurant in terms of its ambience, service and particularly food. The whole Pomegranate experience is first class yet laid back leaving you relaxed and pampered while treated to food readily comparable to the very best Sydney or Melbourne restaurants. We've been here...several times and it's always a great experience.More
