    fried brie salad with balsamic and basil oil. incredibly delicious melt in your mouth brie
    Allison C.

    After spending the last two NYE's here with family, I think an update is much needed! CF Food Kitchen continues to consistently put out incredibly good food that is a step above most other establishments in the area - a true hidden gem in this little Granada Hills strip mall. I always get the fried brie appetizer and beef Wellington because they are just so good and beef Wellington is not a commonly found menu item. They are executed perfectly and I savor every last bit. During holidays, they offer a 3 course menu only - NYE was a reasonably priced $50 for appetizer, entree, and dessert with many entree options to choose from. My father ordered the lamb shank and two others ordered the pork chop, and all were very happy with their meals. My only complaints would be the portion of veggies is quite small, but it is a nice assortment. Bread and butter is now a $5 charge, instead of free. It was very good and about 10 pieces but the amount of butter was not enough IMO for the amount of bread. Most of us had the key lime pie for dessert which was incredibly creamy and delicious! The hostess/waitress/wife of the owner/chef, Sylvia, has at times in the past not been super friendly but at our visit this last NYE she was incredibly warm and attentive. We were amazed that she remembered us from the previous NYE and even the table we sat at! It is a small parking lot so it can be a little hard to find parking there if they are especially busy but there is ample street parking available. I have found it is generally an older crowd that comes here for dinner but there were some people around my age (30's) when we came on NYE. Overall, the food here is the real standout and the north valley is lucky to have CF Food Kitchen!

    This is the definition of a hidden gem. Located in a small unassuming shopping center. Can easily be missed. Once inside- it is a no frills and no showboating type of restaurant, but what they lack in design makes up for in their delicious food and hospitality. There was one server manning the place and she was such a delight. Giving attention to all and making you feel welcomed. They serve beer and wine plus soft drinks and coffee. We started off with some Pinot Grigio and took a look at the food menu. You can order items à la carte but they also have three course specials which seemed like a good bang for your buck. Plus was so excited to see Beef Wellington on the menu! We ordered som seared scallops to share and they were cooked perfectly. For our three course specials we went with- *Clam chowder, rib eye, and pumpkin cheesecake *Burrata salad, Beef Wellington, and poached pear Honestly everything was very very good! We licked our plates clean but the star of the show was the Beef Wellington. Hands down. Such a great meal from beginning to end. Chef Flores knows his stuff. Don't judge a book by its cover.

    Fried brie
    Chris H.

    The food and service were excellent. The staff's attention to detail -- both in hospitality and in the presentation of each dish -- really stood out. The Beef Wellington was perfectly cooked, the scallops were spot on, and the fried brie with berry pastry was absolutely delicious. I dine out for work most nights and travel about 70% of the time across the country, so I've experienced a lot of restaurants. It was a fun surprise to discover this hidden gem while waiting for traffic to clear. Definitely worth the stop.

    My second visit. I was invited by my friend Jenn for lunch who is a regular there and loves the cuisine and the Owners/Chef. I was impressed by the offerings of a fine dining experience here in the SFV. Decor slightly dated and table settings are classic and simple which adds to the charm. The owners were just lovely as I remember. The wife was our server and the husband is the Chef. I had the pecan encrusted chicken and it was amazing. For dessert I had a key lime cheesecake to go since I had to return to work. From the outside you would never think you are going to have a meal like this. It's located in a tiny strip mall. Parking was challenging but worth it. Treat yourself and visit CF Food Kitchen.

    Pork Chop
    Brian S.

    Despite knowing about CF Food Kitchen for a very long time, this was the first time dining there. I had high hopes and have high expectations; both were exceeded. The restaurant is cute. The parking is a bit tight. The menu is compact yet varied enough for almost anyone with a "normal diet". Had the pork chop and it was fantastic. Dining partner had the beef Wellington and it was also fantastic. Appetizers were fried Brie and a burrata salad and dessert were key lime tart and bread pudding. Guess what... they were fantastic. The service was friendly and professional. All in all, a really enjoyable dinner. An experience to repeat!

    Bread pudding
    Natalie O.

    The meal was delicious. I forgot to take a pic of my fried Brie but that was my favorite. My husband has been wanting to try a beef Wellington for years and reddit pointed me here so we drove an hour for it. We were not disappointed. Service was excellent. We will be back when we can make the trip up here.

    Steak Diane
    Christina H.

    First time at this restaurant and everything was great. Our server was wonderful, very friendly and outgoing. Food was delicious. We ordered the dinner 3 course special. Tried the mini crab cake and the fried Brie. Beef Wellington and the Steak Diane. Key lime pie and the bread pudding. Everything was well prepared and the presentation was exquisite. Definitely a hidden gem. Definitely give it a try if you haven't been.

    Locally owned. Chef Driven. Off the beaten path. Hidden Gem. I can go on and on ... Granada Hills. If you don't know where it's at - take a break from the dining hubs in LA and go experience some fine dining in a casual setting. Parking could pose a challenge depending on when you go. It was Sunday, 4:30 when I arrived and the parking lot was somewhat empty. Free. No meters. Yet something else you can look forward to unlike paying for parking in LA. Walking in, immediately greeted by Silvia - also happens to be Chef Flores' wife. Words like warm, welcoming, impeccable and exceptional come to mind when thinking of the service. Opted for the following: Burrata Salad, Braised Lamb Shank and Bread Pudding. See pics. The Burrata Salad was simple but sublime. Nice balance of richness and acidity. I scraped the dish to get the creamy tangy mixture - stopping short of licking the plate because the Lamb arrived. The lamb that was basically fall of the bone. Tender and juicy and most importantly, not gamey. Finishing off with the Bread Pudding - not as custardy as I prefer but still moist and sweet in a homey kinda way. I'd order all three dishes again in a heartbeat. This is the kind of dining experiences I truly enjoy. I would try to describe it but my words wouldn't do it justice. You'll have to head to the valley and try it yourself. I know I'll be heading back for more. CF Kitchen is on the list.

    Key Lime Pie & Bread Pudding
    Ashley H.

    You would never know this restaurant serves incredible food from the outside, but never judge a book by its cover. Delicious food, fair prices, and wonderful service. Best beef Wellington I've ever had. Better than Gordon Ramsey's! We'll definitely be back.

    Menu full of tasty choices!
    Tewodros M.

    This place is such a gem. Took my family for a treat. I had the 3 course meal, which started with the clam chowder soup, followed by the beef Wellington and polished off with a cheese cake. I also got the chance to sample the crab cakes and the key lime pie thanks to my wife. Equally incredible. Our server was very attentive and lots of fun, keeping our teenagers engaged. So glad to have this place close by. It a small place , so call ahead to confirm or reserve your place. Parking is a pain, since it is a small center but worth the hassle for what you are about to experience. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Steak Diane
    Chris S.

    We started with a Cesar salad and the lobster bisque. Both were outstanding. My wife got the Steak Diane. I had the Beef Wellington. I was so impressed that despite me asking for medium, it was flavorful and very moist! The steak Diane was tasty, but we both agreed that the Beef Wellington was the star. Unfortunatly, they both disappeared way too fast! For desert, she had the bread pudding and I asked for the fruit tart. Both were great, but the bread pudding was the winner! This is a high quality, but unpretentious restaurant. Sylvia, the hostess is such a wonderful person, who makes everyone feel valued! This is one of our favorite restaurants in all of Los Angeles!

    I scarfed down before remembering to take a photo of my medium rare beef wellington.
    John F.

    For the times we live in, I feel the prices were very reasonable. The outside looks like a regular liquor store stop and the inside is comfortable. Nothing flashy about this place. Where they excelled are what mattered. Service from our waitress was top notch. Attentive but not overbearing. Presentation of the food was beautiful with a taste to match! This was my first time tasting beef wellington and I loved it!! I paired mine with a shiraz and bread pudding to finish. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a spot where you don't have to dress flashy, but want the flashy, delicious food.

    Yes! The chef is wonderful and will likely make a special dish if they child does not see something that appeals to him/her. Enjoy!!

    Unfortunately we’re closed that day

    Reservation recommended or walk-ins garantee seating?

    Reservations will always have priority and walk-ins will also get a table, just have a little patience.

One half of the space is devoted to a…read morefood case where you can pick up several Filipino dishes to eat at the restaurant or to take home. That side is named Kusina Ni Kuya and has a vast catering menu. I came here for a carry out from the Cajun side and picked as I did before, the half pound shrimp. The only difference is this time, I opted for the peeled version. This was prepared in the house Kuya sauce, medium spicy, with an extra of boiled okra. The dish did not disappoint and was consistent in texture and flavor, and a glorious mixture of spices as before. This entrée has a lot of oil added to it, but that is what brings out this burst of taste and satisfaction. Everything was soaked with the thick sauce. This time what I did at home was, I boiled a few golden premium small potatoes with skin, sliced them into quarters and added it to the mix. Once it soaked up the gravy of the shrimp dish, the potatoes ascended to a totally different level. So how does the peeled version compare to the whole shrimp version? I would say that the whole shrimp selection is the way to go. The meat is not overcooked and you get the flavor off the shrimp shells too, that kicks it up more than a notch. In addition, the fact that you have to use your fingers to get to the shrimp meat (though messy), heightens the pleasure of the dining experience.

    Let me be crystal clear--Cajun Ni Kuya just embarrassed half the seafood spots out there…read more Absolutely embarrassed them. I went in for the $38.99 all-you-can-eat, and what did I get? Not some sad, watered-down, reheated nonsense like other places try to pass off--I got REAL Cajun seafood. Properly cooked. Properly seasoned. Actually worth paying for. I ordered crawfish, clams, mussels, and head-on shrimp, and every single tray came out piping hot, drenched in that bold, garlicky, buttery sauce that hits you like a freight train. Not bland. Not timid. Not "lightly seasoned for the masses." No--this is full-flavor, unapologetic, get-it-all-over-your-hands Cajun. The crawfish? Seasoned all the way through, not just dusted on the outside like some lazy joke. Other spots--take notes. The shrimp? Perfectly cooked, heads packed with flavor. If you're scared of that, stay home and order chicken tenders. The clams and mussels? Clean, tender, not a single one questionable--which already puts them ahead of places charging MORE and serving LESS. And then the sides--this is where it gets ridiculous. Boiled okra, sweet corn, quail eggs, all soaked in that same sauce? That's not a side--that's a statement. Everything is absorbing flavor like it's supposed to. No shortcuts. No laziness. Just execution. And here's what really separates them from the clowns-- the quality never dropped. You keep ordering, they keep delivering heat. Same flavor. Same intensity. No "second round is worse" nonsense. That's what happens when a kitchen actually knows what it's doing. Meanwhile, other seafood spots are out here charging premium prices for bland, overcooked garbage and calling it "Cajun." Stop it. Just stop. This is how it's DONE. Messy. Bold. Loud. Flavor in your face. Hands covered in sauce. Zero regrets. If you leave Cajun Ni Kuya unsatisfied, don't blame the restaurant--blame your taste buds. I'll be back. And I'm bringing an appetite that's ready for war.
