#3782014-02-09 19:49The frontage is no more or less offensive than other local businesses. I can't help thinking that the objections are racially motivated, whilst I hope not. |

#3812014-02-15 07:34I can't believe there have been complaints about the look of Pomegranate. It looks lovely and fresh, the food and staff are wonderful and it fits perfectly into the eclectic range of small businesses on Leith Walk. I love the multicultural feel of the area and cannot see how Pomegranate's signage can be offensive to anyone. |

#3822014-02-16 09:38I love this restaurant and walk past it every day, it is most defiantly not an eyesore and is being unfairly discriminated. |

#3842014-02-24 22:37this is a great place and food. The staff and owner are really nice and cleaned the hole place up. Shame that they are getting complaints when some of the other bussines around are causing more noise but don't seem to have any problem. |

#3882014-03-02 17:31The signage looks quirky and is certainly not offensive in any way. I hate injustice and unfairness and this situation seems to be a bit of both. Good luck! |

#3902014-03-08 07:09Lovely local independent restaurant .signage is subtle & discreet already - this is blatant discrimination & harassment by the complainer! Am appalled that his disgusting racist attitude has even been listened to, shame on him and the council!! |

#3922014-03-10 21:28In my opinion, Pomegranate's signage is actually amongst the nicest on the street! Can't understand what the problem is or why the council is upholding the complaints. |

#3932014-03-10 22:25Absolutely ridiculous situation! Only encourages me to visit more often and support the guys at Pomegranate - great food, great service and absolutely no basis for complaint for anyone. Some people really need to get a life. As many others have said, 20 years and no campaign to boot out the previous restaurant can't help but make you wonder what the issue is all of a sudden. |

#3962014-03-13 20:44It just seems ridiculous, especially when petition was previously granted for illuminated signage.If is true that one complaint has set this in motion, the council should be ashamed and called to count for not listening to the HUNDREDS of complaints about yet another Tesco or Sainsburys blighting the city. |

#3982014-03-15 12:14How utterly ridiculous in today's society for a woman to be so ignorant, narrow minded & discriminatory. |

#3992014-03-15 15:52This is absolutely ridiculous! How can a menu and sign cause so much offense?! Why are the council even taking these complaints on board? This is a lovely restaurant with great staff, food and atmosphere causing no harm to anyone! |

#4002014-03-17 16:26It's a wonderful restaurant - I guess those campaigning against their signage etc. will be pretty put out if they end up putting the restaurant out of business and get a noisy pub with loads of folk out on the street smoking and making a general racket - have they thought of this I wonder. Leave Pomegranate alone and let them continue to provide a great service to their community and customers in exactly the same way as Ferris did for 20 years or however long they were there. |
