Inglewood
Smorgasburg's Zach Brooks put us onto a family-owned Persian take-out window in Inglewood called KUKU Cafe where you can eat on the spot or take grab-and-go items for home.
The menu is built around "building-your-own" kuku sabzi (described as a Persian frittata with walnuts and herbs) with a base of rice, lavash, or salad, and toppings like beef or chicken shawarma, lamb shank, baba ganoush, feta cheese, pickled Persian cucumbers, and more.
You'll also find also sumac fries, saffron rice cakes with chicken and barberries, shawarma and kebab wraps, and pistachio cheese rolls and Persian ice cream for dessert.
