Persian restaurant and international market at 3211 Holiday Ct, Suite 100 near UCSD in La Jolla, 92037, run by chef-owner Ali with an open kitchen where guests watch their food grilled in real time. NAMINO has built a loyal following on charbroiled kebabs — koobideh (beef and chicken), jujeh (saffron marinated), and filet — alongside Persian stews including Ghormeh Sabzi, Fesenjoon, and Halim made from scratch each day. The saffron-infused Tahchin, a baked rice cake layered with chicken, has become the signature dish and frequently sells out. Crispy tahdig and chilled doogh round out the experience. Authentic, generous, and genuinely hospitable — consistently called the best Persian food in San Diego.
