Great Mediterranean restaurant in Del Mar area the food is combination of Persian and Mexican dishes. We were a group of 7 and we all enjoyed our various dishes, the kobbideh and shrimp skewers were very good and flavourful, the grilled seabass was delicious, my kids enjoyed their combo fajitas. I would highly recommend to check this spot out for authentic Persian or Mexican meal. Don't forget to get their churros as desert it was so good!!

This family-owned restaurant is truly a Del Mar gem! Conveniently located in the heart of the village, just south of 15th Street, it offers a unique fusion of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine, with generous portions that never disappoint. Whether you're planning a cozy date night on the patio, gathering with a large group, or catching a game in the lively full bar, this spot delivers. We’ve hosted several private events here and have even had them cater at our home—each time, the staff has done a phenomenal job. Highly recommend!

This place was so freaking good. The atmosphere, service, quality and portion size of food were top notch. Even the coffee was super good!! I'm about 2 1/2 Hrs away and think about driving here often just to get another taste. Thank you Seaside Grill for the awesome meal!!

You can enjoy a very nice ocean view, eat indoors or on the outdoor patio near the street but all are nice seats. We shared a delicious shish kabob plate w chicken & salmon, along w rice & salad. A generous plate of hummus & delicious olives. I also ordered a lamb gyro with tasty pita bread. Everything was tasty & well served w excellent service.

This is a great place for some good Mediterranean food run by family duo (Marjon and Reza). The food was amazing , we had Kashk Bademjoon and Mast moosir for appetizer, mixed platter of kabobs for main along with Gheymeh Stew. Everything was delicious, high quality meat, well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. We were treated with some Baklava and fresh bowl of cherries at the end , which was very nice. we'll be back! Thank you,

Del Mar, you are so lucky to have this outstanding restaurant. Hubby had the lamb shank, I had eggplant stew, and we shared ceviche appetizer. Everything was like homemade and with the best ingredients. All the best to everyone who made our night special. We will be back!

Alborz used to be at Del Mar Heights Rd , I am not sure when they moved to their current location at Camino Del Mar. The new place is in a great location and has great food and great service. The interior decoration is nice as well. The menu has something for everyone. Presentation of the food is great. I ordered Chicken Shish Kabob , others ordered soltany and Beef Shish Kabob. We also had Yogurt with cucumber, maust mosir and shirazi salad.
