This might be a new spot for us before we head to LAX for flights!!
Stopped here before flying out for dinner and the food was amazing. We got the beef stew with black lime and a chicken shawarma dish. Both so flavorful and generous portions! Their rice is amazing!! We also got their house drinks, the mint cooler and orange blossom sekanjebin. Very aromatic and refreshing. It was nice to have a good meal on the flight for a snack. Very cute and homey ambiance and cute branding....read full review

KUKU has the kindest owner and the best food. Despite having Persian restaurants near Echo Park, I’ll gladly drive to Inglewood for this. I think I’d be happy eating their Fesenjān every night for the rest of my life.
Great food!

KUKU Cafe is a delightful eatery known for serving delicious and flavorful Persian Iranian food. The presentation is beautiful, and the service is excellent. Menu highlights include the braised lamb shank, saffron crispy rice with chicken, lamb rice bowl, falafel wrap, falafel sandwich, Kuku bowl, Beef Shawarma plates, Chicken Shawarma, Ghormeh Sabzi, and Badamjan with eggplant and chickpeas. The food is consistently amazing and very authentic. This is a hidden gem. The tahchin is fire with a rosewater and cinnamon aroma and delicate nuts garnish. The owner and staff are friendly and attentive, contributing to a lovely dining experience. The cozy patio seating area provides an airy atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a meal outside. Overall, KUKU Cafe is a hidden gem worth returning to, and visitors are encouraged to come and enjoy the scrumptious offerings.
