Pomegranate Kitchen celebrates the vibrant flavors of Persian cuisine in a cozy spot on Durham-Chapel Hill Blvd. This women-owned gem offers a range of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, reflecting the owner Mally's passion for comfort food. Diners rave about her unique dishes, like the pomegranate stew and flaky meatball piroshki, complemented by refreshing hibiscus mojitos. While it’s a casual takeout venue—with outdoor seating and a welcoming ambiance—be mindful of their limited hours. A perfect choice for a flavorful lunch or dinner!

Either Mally is a culinary genius or Iranian food is what I’ve been craving all my life. (Or both!) Everything she makes is intensely flavorful, thoroughly nutritious, and warms the soul. Her hole-in-the-wall location has zero ambiance and really isn’t an eat-in venue, but Mally herself has a gracious & welcoming presence as she chitchats & prepares these delights. I’ve lived all over the world and enjoyed many cuisines; these are unique and among my favorites.

Lindsay, We strive to meet the highest expectations of our clients.We are glad that you like the quality & taste of our food.Pomegranate Kitchen appreciates your business.
My girlfriend and I were visiting from philadelphia and happened to find this gem of a place.Their food is some of the best I've ever had in recent memory.Their flavors are so vibrant with really unique flavors.The owner makes all of her food with her own recipes and fresh ingredients.She's extremely passionate about her food and it shows.We were only in town for 3 days but it was so good that we wanted to return before we left.The pomegranate stew was a highlight - we couldn't believe it was just walnuts, pomegranate, and beans.The chef must be doing something magical in that kitchen.The meatball piroshki was sweet, savory, and so flaky.The hibiscus mojito was tart and refreshing.Sadly, they're only open 3 days a week and dont have a location in Philly - otherwise we would come every day.We will definitely try to visit Durham again just to come here.It was that good!
Absolutely lovely. You'll be wowed by all of the beautiful pastries, but do try the pomegranate stew (fesenjoon) if it's being served.
