Peachy's Market & Grill

Peachy's is such a hidden gem for Persian food in Encinitas! Although I've found their chicken dishes to be a bit on the dry side, their baghali polo with lamb shank and tahdig (when they have it) is absolutely insane! Great portion sizes and service — the staff feels like one big family, going above and beyond to welcome me back every time! Highly, highly recommend.

Peachy’s Market & Grill is an absolute gem! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. I genuinely love eating here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Persian food and a comfortable place to enjoy a meal.

Great market with everything you could possibly need. Delicious food and great prices on everything.

Been going here for take out for a few years now. Always delicious Mediterranean food, generous portions,made to order. Most meals are around $15, but are a lot more nutritious and better tasting than fast food.

This Persian market is an absolute gem! They have amazing prices and carry unique items you won’t find at regular supermarkets. Their fresh fruits and veggies are super affordable, and the restaurant in the back is run by the nicest people. I got the $10.99 beef kabob skewer, and it was such a great deal—enough for two meals! Forget fast food and support this place instead. The food is fresh, healthy, and absolutely delicious.

The food is excellent! I only rated the atmosphere lower because it is deli/grocery store style and designed for take out not dine in.

My favorite is the halal options, of those I love flat chicken kabob, and the chicken sharma on pita 🥙 with French fries. This is hidden gem of Encinitas the owners are sweet elderly Persian couple who truly love cooking delicious food for others.

Peachy’s Market is a gem. Not only can you get great produce here, there’s a wide selection of specialty groceries. We ordered two gyros with fries at the counter as well as some hummus and pita. The gyros were juicy and full of meat with pickles, lettuce, onions, and tomato. The tzatziki sauce was creamy, full of herbs, and fresh. The fries were crispy and tasted fresh with the perfect amount of salt. The hummus was creamy and well balanced between the tahini and chick peas. The texture was a little on the wet side which is perfect for clinging to the soft and chewy pitas. I also found some great sugar cubes with cardamom and saffron as well as some caviar spread. The dolmas were also fresh and juicy as well. We will definitely be back!

What a great find tucked in one of the shopping centers. We ordered gyro wraps from here and they did not disappoint. They had good seasoning, tons of meat, and came with a side. Likely going to become a consistent staple for us for an easy weeknight meal. I am looking forward to trying out more fresh items from their market too, it all looked delicious! Only note is that their ordering menu doesn't have a button you select for a side (so they give you a salad as the default, when we would have loved fries). Fix for this is to ask for your side in the comment box!

This review is for the grill only. Decent Persian selections lurking in a hidden store front. The wife enjoyed her Chicken Shawarma wrap. My falafel wrap was a little soggy. The side salads were fresh and tasty, with a delicious dressing. I would think twice before ordering the Persian Rice Pudding again. It was too perfumey for my taste, maybe too much rose water? Wandering the aisles while waiting for the food being prepared is a treat. I like that they have Sangak bread. It's pre-packaged, so not the same as the freshly baked Sangak from the Balboa International Market in San Diego, but intriguing enough that I may get one next time I'm here. Hard to go wrong with four feet of carbs.

The meats here are indeed very juicy, Chargrilled veggies are delicious and Rice is great. I loved the pita and the fresh salad. I also enjoy the market - they have Persian ice cream, Turkish delight, a couple of other treats you'd have to look around to get. One day I was craving a gyros pita and fries / salad for lunch. Hit the spot. Definitely a good amount of meat in the pita. Don't need to buy a second extra container of tzatziki, but I was feeling indulgent.

We have been coming here for over 6-7 years and Peachy's never disappoint. We personally love getting their family meals when we have people over as the portions are amazing. Note that prices have gone up but we also live in a horrible economy. With that said, you still get a good amount of food to feed a crowd. The rice lasts you days! The salad is amazing and you can always add on skewers to your family pack. The staff is friendly and always willing to help if you need assistance bringing items to your car. The market is clean and well stoked with many specialty items. Overall, it's a hidden gem in Encinitas. Try it next time you're there!

No pictures this time but the food remains phenomenal. This place is tucked into a corner of a not-so-interesting mini-mall. However, judging by the number of customers on a random Sunday night, the secret is clearly out. The food is prepared fresh to order, it is reasonably priced, you get a ton of it, and it is incredibly delicious. I highly recommend getting the combo skewers of ground chicken and ground beef. Remember that "ground" chicken and "ground" beef are NOT the same when it comes to Persian food as it means in America. The chicken and beef are not ground up and served to you in bits at all; but they are highly seasoned. The combo comes with a ton of rice and a small but very fresh and excellent salad. Also, make sure to get the hummus appetizer; the hummus is obviously made fresh and so is the pita. You order at the back of the shop but most of the building is occupied by a market. There is a lot of interesting Persian and other Middle Eastern foods to browse and buy while you wait for your food to be prepared. Highly recommended for very authentic and excellent food.

Soooo yummm. The food is tasty and the service is so fast. They're even kind enough to walk out your to go orders to your car while you wait. 10/10 no notes

The Mediterranean market and grill is the best in all of San Diego County. I live in Escondido CA. I have been spoiled with their salmon kabobs and the gyros. There is no other Mediterranean restaurant or Market that can deter me from the wonderful atmosphere and service.

Yum!! Chicken shawarma wrap was FAB! And the House salad dressing. OMG. Will be back on a regular basis to try the rest of the menu!

We came for lunch and ordered the gyro plate and the chicken and beef kabob combo. The gyro was good with fries, a little warm though because it was just sitting there and they didn't call our number. The beef kabob had good flavors and the chicken was chicken breast which was good and juicy. Small market, limited tables inside and outside. Tight parking lot. Good food!

We ordered a familly pack to go. The place clean and the workers were friendly and helpful. We got the family pack #2 and it served more than 6 people. It was fresh and delicious! If you like crispy rice ask for the tahdig. I'm drooling thinking about having this again.

The food is amazing and the market has all you could want for Mediterranean food. The hummus is so creamy , the best I've ever had. It's a fantastic market and the kebabs and food is much better, tender and juicier than some of the high priced restaurants I've been to. The koobideh is so juicy and tender. The owner is the kindest man. I remember him from a previous market, it was the best market ever. Now I'm so happy that a friend suggested we eat at this great market and I was so happy to see him again! It's off El Camino Real hidden behind other businesses so please find his market and you will be happy you did!

Awesome Mediterranean food. Very well prepared, large portions, great value. This place is hidden gem. Take out for a week night meal after a kids sports practice is always a win. Highly recommend !

Food is sooo good here! Had the catering at a friends house and loved all of it. Does anyone know the ingredients in their house salad dressing? I absolutely loved it

Never judge a book by its cover... the location doesn't do this spot justice. Inside this little market is some of the best Greek food you will have! It's authentic, fresh and delicious! Service is super friendly as you place your order at the counter. This spot is to go only- nowhere to eat there, but you can peruse the aisles as you wait for your food. My only wish is they would deliver on DoorDash or similar- would be great to have it delivered!

The working crew are really good but the food quality, especially the skewed kabob wasnt really what I call food. One sude was burned and the other side partially cooked, tasted terrible and next day was so hard and rubbery like belt! My wife has been sick since. Unless they up their game, I wont order food again! By the way, I never leave reviews but thus was somethi g I had to take action!

I had high hopes for this wrap. I was starving and craving a good Middle Eastern wrap. But what I got instead was two skewers of ground beef (I ordered an extra skewer) wrapped in a tortilla filled with lettuce, chopped onions, and tomatoes that was heavily dressed in a mustard dressing. It was basically a Big Mac wrapped in a tortilla. There weren't even any Persian pickles in the wrap/burrito. What a disappointment. They sell lavash in the store, so I'm not sure why they didn't use lavash for their wraps.

When it comes to Mediterranean food in our area you can't beat Peachy's. The food is all so good and fresh. Great portions and great tastes. We use Peachy's anytime we have a group of people over and we don't want to cook - there is always something for everyone.

All their kebabs are delicious. They're served with a salad. They also have good Mediterranean food that you can buy. The grocery store is also interesting.

Peachy's is a small market with deli and hot Mediterranean food in back off El Camino Real. Occasionally I will order online and pick up lunch. I usually get a shawarma or beef kebab wrap. It is about $12 with tax and comes in a side of fries (shoestring) or salad. They are great for catering as well and fairly reasonably priced, definitely better than Luna Grill. Parking lot is small.

Delicious takeout although a special request was ignored. Reasonably priced produce. Lots of dried fruits and other middle eastern groceries.

Delicious! First time trying today and Lorenzo helped me pick. He was so nice and knowledgeable. I had the chicken kabob plate and it was really tasty. Cant wait to bring my husband back. I also got some excellent nostalgic Balkan recipe ingredients. Great place!!

I only come here for the hot food (usually kebobs) and rice. And it has been awesome every single time.

The food was so good! The food was fresh, hot and plentiful. The service was friendly and fast. We sat outside with our combo plates.

Love the food for takeout! The chicken kebab plates are delicious. The food here is fresh and a good price. We like the yellow rice

A great Encinitas favorite. Great small grocery and deli which also offers catering services. For a backyard dinner with some friends, I ordered the large catering combo for 4-6 people more than enough food for 8 people, and everyone was happy.

Great food and service....... But... they had a major drop in recent catering. Person who took order for catering entered wrong due date, so when we came to pickup food..nothing. They *quickly* recovered and we had our full order (+) in short amount of time and it all worked out. 'We would both order from them again and highly recommend them. BUT - make sure you triple-check your catering dates on printed receipts when you order/pay as they DO make mistakes, so we have to do their job of ensuring correct reading of calendar and order for them. We do thank you for quickly recovering and filling order...AND that should not have happened. Hopefully clerk has been trained properly in how to read a calendar.

Clean store, great service. Very friendly employees that serve exceptional Mediterranean meals.

Peachy's is my go-to place for delicious and healthy food. Their plates are the perfect blend of protein, veggies, and carbs that leave you satiated for hours. Their plates with chicken and ground beef are my favorite, but their flat cut beef is to die for as well. It's hard for me to pick a lot of the time! Now I just go for the family pack to feed my family of 5, which comes with so much food and then we get leftovers too. I get the one with 8 skewers (you get to pick two kinds of meat) and it also comes with rice, amazing salad (not your average salad that you usually get with family packs, this has cucumbers, tomatoes, cranberries, onion, and feta on a bed of lettuce with a delicious honey mustard dressing), pita, tzatziki sauce, and a big tub of hummus. Seriously delicious. Easily one of the best restaurants in Encinitas!

The chicken kabob, ground beef kabob and gyros were all fantastic here. Fresh, hot and so filling. Comes with salad, bread and you will not leave hungry. It's a market so you order and sit and there's only a few tables but there's always been room.

We were just driving around yesterday with no real destination and decided to check it out. Damn we are glad that we did. We loved the store and more so we LOVED the food. We got one white meat chicken screwer and one shawarma. Both were great and can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Employees were also great!

Its a hidden gem in a small shopping plaza in the heart of Encinitas! They known for their freshly made persian food and amazing family deal meals. The market itself is very clean, well stocked with middle eastern as well as some easter European items. Check this place out!

Great food, amazing service. Such a value! And so nice to be able to get Mediterranean products locally! BeSt feta!!

I've been here many times for takeout. I have to say the food is great and the prices are very reasonable. The staff is fast and efficient even when they are busy they are quick to get your order out. There is also a market with fresh produce and some middle eastern products that are very good. Highly recommend this place!!

A real find for me. The best pita chicken shawarma sandwich ever and excellent salad. The only problem is waiting in the same line as those checking out with carts of groceries before you can order. Then waiting for the food to be made. Maybe I'll try calling in next time. But the food is so good it was worth the 45 minutes it took to get lunch.

Wonderful little hidden gem the food was high quality, with generous portions and friendly staff who were all very accommodating. I loved the vegetarian plate. I'll have to go on a day where I have more time to walk around the little market. There were some amazing things in there. We will definitely be back again!!

Had two falafel wraps - the most authentic we've had anywhere in San Diego. Everything very fresh. Looking forward to trying their other prepared foods.

First, I will start by saying, I am very picky as far as mediterranean cuisine goes. Too many franchised or commercial restaurants leave the love out of the food. It sucks, but it's the truth. Peachy's is not that. It's a market that serves mediterranean cuisine, but in no way does that hinder the quality of what I just had. Shirazi and house salads would have been enough to know that there is love when making this food. The kebabs were amazing and juicy and the portion was fantastic. My new favorite mediterranean cuisine is now Peachy's!!

This is a market with a kitchen inside, but the kitchen is more busy than the market. I ordered the house salad, Kabobb, and flat chicken and all of it was unreal! What a hidden gem in Encinitas. The ambience is, how can I say a store with tables outside.... Hole in the wall, but amazing food

A very solid 4 stars. They make a great tasting beef shawarma wrap. The best I've had. The only thing that would make it better is giving more French fries or better seating for eating in. But it's a market with a deli so it's not meant to be a sit-in restaurant. For more video reviews of restaurants Follow me on Instagram at SDNorthCountyLiving

Just ordered the Chicken Shwarma salad. Delicious! Generous portions. Super fresh. Chicken right off the grill.

This is a great Mediterranean market and grill. They have a wonderful selection of bread and sauces and things you can't find in a local market. They have a great fruits and nut section and lots of great cheeses. The grill area is also great for a nice meal. There are lots of kabobs and hummus and combination plates. All the food is fresh. I recommend this for a wonderful Mediterranean meal or to get the freshest supplies to make your meals at home. Don't forget to buy some cheesecake to take home for dessert.

It's mainly about the food The chicken, the salmon, and even the hummus were scored at about four out of 10

Delicious entrees and stocks Mediterranean cuisine spices and side dishes. Their kabobs are well proportioned and their sides are generous

First time ordering food from Peachy's. It was delicious! We ordered a dinner for 4, it was plentiful, had several different varieties and was reasonable in price. Will be back!

The food was fantastic! I had the gyro with a side salad, and the dressing was absolutely delicious. I'll definitely recommend this spot to others. One tip: consider placing your order in advance, as it can get quite busy during lunch hours.

This store is amazing! Needed a few things to make my puttanesca pasta and they had the puttanesca sauce and it was delicious! Produce here is amazing and the watermelon was so sweet! Prices are reasonable as well! Service is excellent!

Such a cool place and market! Honestly the falafel and hummus weren't to my liking, but perhaps I've become accustomed to the Greek style, which tend to have more herbs and spices, and the chickpeas are slightly coarser. Perhaps Persian-style is just different. It was still pretty good after crisping up the falafel in the toaster oven after drizzling a little olive oil on them. Also a little lemon juice and olive oil on the hummus made it better too. Though still much better than Nectarine Grove or Luna Grill, which put the awful in falafel.

This place is one of my favorites. Some of the grocery is a much have and the hot food is just incredible

Decent Middle Eastern market Small , limited items but decent local and happy to find international items there.
