Our story

Recipes that travelled with us

I came to Australia from Iran to follow my passion, build my own business, and share the rich traditions of Persian cuisine.

Persian food carries stories — from different regions, families and generations. At Kookoo Foods, every dish is handmade with love, using recipes and traditions passed down through generations.

Since 2024, we have been proudly supported and based at FoodLab Sydney, a community helping food entrepreneurs turn their passion into thriving businesses.

For us, Kookoo Foods is a way to share a little taste of Persian home with Australia.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum number of guests?

We cater from 10 guests up. For a smaller group, give us a call and we'll see what we can do.

Which areas do you deliver to?

We deliver across New South Wales, including all of Sydney.

Can I collect the food myself?

Yes — everything is cooked to order at FoodLab on the day of your event. You can have it delivered, or collect it from the kitchen yourself.

Do you have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options?

Yes. The menu can be filtered by course and by gluten-free, and every dish is tagged for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free or contains-nuts, so you can see at a glance what suits your table.

Can you handle allergies?

We list the ingredients and allergens for every dish on the menu, and you can tell us about any allergy when you enquire — we'll do our best to accommodate it. Everything is cooked in a shared kitchen at FoodLab that also handles gluten, dairy, eggs and nuts, so we can't guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.

Weddings, birthdays, corporate lunches, Nowruz and other Persian occasions, funerals and memorials, community events, and small home gatherings.
