Pomegranate serves dishes inspired by family recipes from Eastern Europe and the Republic of Georgia, set on El Cajon Boulevard in University Heights. The kitchen leans into hearty, comforting plates rather than anything fussy.
Regulars point to the golubtsi (cabbage rolls), borscht, and shaschlik as staples, along with a rich cheese-and-egg bread that comes up again and again. Sampler platters are built for sharing, and the drink list runs through Georgian wine, beer, and vodka flights.
The room has its own personality, with writing covering the walls and a lived-in, gathering-space feel that carries into private parties and catering. Outdoor seating is available for those eating al fresco on El Cajon Boulevard.
