Amazing food and service, the location could be better. But the food is great, we tried the lamb shank it has big portions and the meat is nice. try the saffron tea and saffron ice cream as well.

Great food and fresh ingredients! We got a lamb rice bowl and falafel wrap. Both were delicious. Both the owner and staff were very friendly and attentive. Will be sure to come back!

Right off the bat, you get the best tasting tea, at least to me, and the presentation, very nice and clean, food comes with small samples of side dishes … just brings back a ton of memories for me, awesome little joint! Thank you guys!The lamb shank and special veggie rice is great …

Great food! They have all the traditional Persian food flavors cooked for contemporary cuisine. Got myself a super tasty chicken shawarma. Really appreciate the family friendly atmosphere as well

This place was absolutely delicious, I loved the chicken shawarma bowl and my vegetarian friend got the Falafel wrap which which the owner told us is home made falafel. They also greet you with a cup of delicious hot tea after you place your order. I can’t wait for them to be on delivery apps! To preface I’m picky in food, but could eat this everyday.

If you want something different than burgers and tacos… may I recommend Kuku Cafe. I got the Crispy Saffron Rice Cake w/Chicken & Barberries, which came with some pickled veg, and I believe they gave me the yorgurt and dill sauce because I forgot to tell him which I wanted. But it was SOOOOO delicious! I also got the Saffron Rose w/Basil Elixer, which I feel paired perfectly. I’m looking forward to trying some of the other things in their menu. Especially the saffron rice pudding 😋

An absolute gem for Persian food in Inglewood. The foods executed with the kind of skill that reminds you of the best home cooked meals. Like you came to visit someones house and they rolled out their finest family recipes.For what feels like a mom and pop kinda spot, their branding and tech are top notch. Ordering is easy, but seating is very limited, so prioritize takeout.

I stumbled in this gem by accident, and I’m so happy that I did. The food is amazing, made with love and you can taste it. I had the Tachin and it was out of this world. Can’t wait to come back!

The food has tons of flavor but they made us wait for an entire hour to get our pickup. Had they given us a rough time instead of promising repeatedly, we would have taken off and come back. Good thing i had called and discussed. Waiting that long on foot in a carwash with family and ever more hungry child in the car on la brea in Inglewood was an experience i would pay dearly to erase from memory. Im not a schmock.Not sure well ever go back.

I have ate at many restaurants in the City of Inglewood, California but I must applaud Major Butts for giving us an opportunity to have the experience of something differentThis Persian Restaurant my daughter and I went on Sunday oh my the food was so good the Host Admir let us sample the Frittata which was excellent I have had Frittatas before but this was sooo different moist herbs walnuts and barberries.I ordered the Braised Lamb Shank tender tender with rice and fa a beans, daughter got the Persian Falafel wrap with a salad which was excellent the salad Fresh and delicious.Chef Ray is an excellent chef you can see his passion for what he does.Amir is an excellent host his personality is so inviting.The atmosphere is great sitting outside on a beautiful patio.I love Mexican food but to have a new cuisine to choose from is great.I hope everyone gives them a taste 😂 you will not regret it.PSDesserts are also good.

Amazing hospitality! Complimentary hot tea. Very attentive service. Great basil seed drinks, tahchin, lentil soup & lamb shank. Chef gave sampler of eggplant dip and delicious gormeh sabzi with tahdig! Hope that dish and fesenjan make it to the menu. Can’t wait to have kuku sabzi and rice pudding later! Nice outdoor eating area with heater and music make you forget you’re next to a car wash.

Dont let its unassuming exterior fool you – Kuku Cafe in Los Angeles may be small, but it packs a big punch when it comes to flavor and convenience! As a takeout spot with just two outdoor tables for seating, its the perfect place to grab a quick bite on the go or enjoy a leisurely meal alfresco. The intimate setting adds to the charm, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered.Despite its modest size, Kuku Cafe delivers big on taste. Their menu is a delightful mix of mouthwatering options, from savory sandwiches and wraps to delectable pastries and desserts. Each item is carefully crafted with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that leave a lasting impression. Whether youre in the mood for a hearty breakfast sandwich to start your day or a satisfying salad for lunch, Kuku Cafe has something to satisfy every craving.What truly sets Kuku Cafe apart, however, is its exceptional service and attention to detail. Despite the hustle and bustle of a takeout operation, the staff always greets you with a smile and ensures that your order is promptly prepared to perfection. They go above and beyond to accommodate special requests and make sure you leave satisfied. If youre in the mood for delicious food on the go or a leisurely outdoor meal, look no further than Kuku Cafe – a true hidden gem in the heart of Los Angeles!

Great place to eat, the best persian food around no doubt, not a classic Persian home style, more of a modern take, with great choices and delicious food .
