Afghan restaurant and kabob house at 737 Pearl St in La Jolla, 92037, bringing Central Asian charcoal-grilled meats to the San Diego coast. Pamir Kabob House skewers lamb, chicken, and beef over charcoal and serves them with Afghan rice, warm flatbread, and herb-forward salads and sauces — sharing the Pearl Street corridor with Mary's Salads a few doors down, the two representing opposite ends of the lunch spectrum on the same block. A rare cuisine in San Diego — the cooking is honest, fragrant, and filling. Open daily for lunch and dinner. NAMINO Persian Cuisine at Holiday Court channels a similar charcoal-grilled tradition from the Persian side of Central Asia.
