Mon Mar 20 20:55:23 -0800 2006 441117 0 coco puff 1 441776 whats that paste called. its a daily special. its served with mints and looks kind of like a glop of refried beans...

I'm there weekly-- as a westwood office worker-- to eat the soup in the patio. The older woman at the counter thinks its funny when you try to pronounce the soup's name. As for the sandwiches, I've tried the different varieties and I can't seem to get into the flavor. But then again, maybe you have to be raised on kuku. Also try the dolmas in the glass deli case.

Today was my first time at Attari, and I was less than impressed. I ordered three sandwiches: the greens and potato kuku , and the beef kotlet. All three sandwiches were lacking in flavor-- not horrible, but just whatever. The bread wasn't great, either. If I ever go there again, I'll definitely stay away from the sandwiches (even though the kuku sandwich was recommended in the LA Weekly review). Maybe the quality of the food has changed since the last posts? I came to Attari with great expectations, but was sadly disappointed.

Fri Apr 18 17:26:06 -0700 2008 3608749 11935 westsidegal 1 3608777 I’m embarrassed to ask. but where is Attari and what is a kuku sandwich? The link didn't help. I love a good sandwich.

Take a look at this even older thread which gives address and kuku sandwich description: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/62421 Fri Apr 18 17:30:08 -0700 2008 3608777 108169 Servorg
