About Us

Opening Pomegranate Restaurant, has given our students the opportunity to practice their newly learned skills in a more realistic environment. The Pomegranate Restaurant is designed to offer students with yet another avenue to thrive in.

The Pomegranate Restaurant is a student run enterprise that began in January 2008. Mr. Keyvani and his team of Specialist High Skills Major Students run the restaurant every Wednesday night from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The students see to every detail of the restaurant from setting up proper formal table settings using fine linens and napkins to planning and execuing the menu. This experience has given the students skills in the Hospitality industry that are essential for success in the real world. Our students have had so much success with this venture that they have been featured in newspapers and television.

The pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree growing to between five and eight metres tall. The pomegranate is native to the region from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated and naturalized over the whole Mediterranean region and the Caucasus since ancient times. It is widely cultivated throughout Afghanistan, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran, India, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, the drier parts of southeast Asia, Peninsular Malaysia, the East Indies, and tropical Africa. Introduced into Latin America and California by Spanish settlers in 1769, pomegranate is now cultivated in parts of California and Arizona for juice production.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the fruit is typically in season from September to January. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is in season from March to May.
