About

Peachy's Market & Grill on North El Camino Real in Encinitas combines a Persian and Mediterranean grill with an international grocery stocking locally sourced produce, specialty spices, and imported Middle Eastern pantry goods. The grill operates in the back of the market and serves flame-kissed kabobs -- boneless chicken, ground beef koobideh, Cornish chicken shawarma -- alongside house-made falafel, hummus, tabbouleh, and Persian stews like ghormeh sabzi and fesenjoon, a recipe depth that extends well beyond the kabob-and-rice format at most Mediterranean counter-service spots on El Camino Real including Habit Burger & Grill. The market shelves carry rose water, grape seed oil, tahini, pomegranate molasses, saffron, Turkish delight, and Persian ice cream alongside seasonal organic California produce, blending specialty grocery retail with the hot-food counter. A catering program packages kabob combos, grilled vegetables, basmati rice, Greek salad, hummus, and yogurt dip in platters serving 10 to 12 at a per-person cost structured for large-format events, competing in the same Encinitas catering market as La Especial Norte on North Coast Highway 101. The most complex preparation is the fesenjoon, a slow-cooked pomegranate and walnut paste stew requiring multi-stage reduction of pomegranate molasses with ground walnuts and braised protein before service over basmati rice.
