KUKU’s Story from 
Esfahan to Inglewood.

KUKU is a love letter to Persian culture, a celebration of family , and a dash of techie creativity. Our story begins with Reza, a former tech entrepreneur who swapped coding for cooking. After immigrating to the U.S. from Iran, Reza found himself longing for the flavors of his childhood in Esfahan – especially the dishes made by his grandmother, lovingly known as Maman Joon.

Persian cooking isn’t about measurements; it’s about intuition, a touch of magic passed down through generations. Determined to bring Maman Joon’s magic to life, Reza turned to his mom in Iran, recreating her recipes through trial, error, and a lot of phone calls. The result? A taste of Esfahan, bottled up and ready to share.

KUKU is a family affair, with Reza’s son, Artin, bringing Persian art and culture to life in every detaiMore than just food, KUKU is about community. Nestled in the heart of Inglewood, it’s where Persian heritage meets L.A.’s rich diversity, creating a space where cultures connect and new traditions take root.
