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 — and the Holiday Court setting places it in a quieter dining corridor alongside Marketplace Grille on Torrey Pines Road. Persian stews including Ghormeh Sabzi, Fesenjoon, and Halim are 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. Village visitors who want the same charcoal-grilled kebab format in a quick-service wrapper head to The Kebab Shop at Village Square.
