Our Story

Six years ago, our journey began in a small food court at Atlas Market in Poway, where we first shared our love for Persian flavors under the name Tahchin. After a year, the pandemic forced us to close, but it didn’t stop us. We took our passion on the road with the Namino food truck, serving catered events and connecting with our community for two years. Today, that same passion lives on in our two Namino restaurants one in La Jolla and one in Poway where we’re proud to welcome you and continue the story we started years ago.

“I had a wonderful experience at Namino! Ali agha was incredibly kind and welcoming, and he really made sure we were having a great time. The service was fast, and every dish we tried was fantastic: ghormeh sabzi, koubideh, halim, and ash were all full of flavor and felt truly authentic. We also had tea, dough, and khaksheer, and everything was perfect from start to finish. Highly recommend this place!”

I recently ordered from this restaurant while hosting guests, and I was genuinely impressed. The food was incredibly delicious and full of flavor, the delivery arrived with beautiful presentation, and the prices were very reasonable. I honestly enjoyed the whole experience.

I highly recommend giving this place a try at least once — you won’t regret it. The owner was also very friendly and welcoming, which made everything even better.
