#2262013-10-14 10:51Having seen the outside of the restaurant in both daylight and the dark, eaten there(very good), and looked at the retrospective planning application, I don't understand the problem and would like to know on what grounds it was turned down. |

#2272013-10-14 11:22Friendly staff, lovely food and, compared to a lot of local restaurants, very attractive exterior! |
Guest |
#2282013-10-14 11:50this is bizarre! who is complaining and why? surely there must be some justification apart from they dont like it |
Guest |
#2292013-10-14 11:54This noxious campaign is clearly racist. That in itself is bad enough, but its endorsement by lily-livered offialdom is outrageous. |
Guest |
#2302013-10-14 11:56The outside of this restaurant is beautiful and very tasteful, this is outrageous. |

#2312013-10-14 12:12Can't believe some neighbours find the signage offensive. Is it the Arabic letters because they do not understand Arabic? Or is it an ignorance or arrogance against a different culture? . It has to be some cover up reason as the signage is minimal. The previous Italian restaurant had much bigger signage and the letters were large and all lite up. There must be photos to compare the two. |

#232 Pomegranate Restaurant2013-10-14 12:36Some very ignorant & arrogant people, who have nothing better to do with their time than to complain. The signage is very discret and tasteful - the signage for other restaurants is far bigger and ""bolder"" in all the other restarants in the same street/area, the people who complain must have another motive, the local Edinburgh Council cannot surely be taking this complaint seriously. |

#2342013-10-14 13:32This stinks of racial harassment, can people not live and let live |

#2352013-10-14 13:55Lovely restaurant and the signage is just like all the others around it so can't see the problem... |
Guest |
#2362013-10-14 14:38Love this restaurant, and think the exterior is very attractive - certainly more so than many other restaurants in the Leith Walk area. Would be saddened to see their trade damaged. |
Guest |
#2372013-10-14 15:16Definitely signing this petition... I can't understand how your restaurant front is offensive or an eyesore. I love the burst of colour that this has brought the corner! It certainly looks much better than the old front of Ferri's Italian that stood in place before this. Well done for fighting this out! |

#2402013-10-14 15:53Gorgeous restaurant, great staff, lovely decor, not at all offensive in any way. in fact I think it has added to the regeneration of the area, along with khushi's and other new business. The food is amazing too. I will be going for dinner there in a couple of weeks and would be devastated if business was negatively affected by this ludicrous complaint. |
Guest |
#2422013-10-14 16:03Pomegranate's lighting is subdued by comparison with some of it's close neighbours... and the food is great, served by some of the nicest people in Edinburgh |
Guest |
#2432013-10-14 16:41I can see no reasonable justification for the Council enforcing these measures. This area of the city abounds in visually 'intrusive' signage. The motive for targeting this establishment seems to be barely disguised racism. The council of Scotland's capital city should NOT be condoning racial harassment. |
Guest |
#2452013-10-14 16:59Unfamiliar with the establishment, never eaten here, yet have heard rave reviews from friends and punters in Edinburgh..... very surprised to hear that someone is complaining against what is a very innocuous restaurant front... im finding it hard to see what the complainers problem actually is? |
Guest |
#2462013-10-14 17:19This would be a real pity if it closed and it does sound as if it is racially motivated!!! |
Guest |
#2472013-10-14 17:24This seems ridiculously unfair to me! I have never been to Pomegranate but have heard wonderful things so will make sure I come along now to show my support. |
Guest |
#2492013-10-14 17:53I see nothing wrong with the front of the restaurant to complain about. |
Guest |
#2502013-10-14 18:05Perhaps a translation would allay the fears of the paranoid neighbours? |
