Experience Russian-Georgian cuisine at Pomagranate

If you've never had Russian food in San Diego, you're not alone. San Diego has more than it's share of taco shops, Italian trattorias, and even a good variety of Asian restaurants. But when it comes to eastern European cuisine, it's a little harder to find. So when my husband's Ukrainian coworker recommended a Russian-Georgian Restaurant in North Park, we were eager to give it a try. Having never been exposed to Russian food, I didn't know what to expect. I pictured goulash and beef stroganoff even though goulash is actually Hungarian. We had a hard time finding the place because for one thing we had the address wrong, but for another it's small and the sign isn't easy to see from the street. It turns out it's on El Cajon Boulevard right next Dao Son, a favorite Vietnamese restaurant of mine.
