Sign on the door of Cuckoo Rooster in the Twin Oaks Shopping Center at 5653 Kanan Road in Agoura Hills says "We are Closed," which would appear to mean this eatery has permanently closed its doors. Since February 2019, Cuckoo Rooster served hot fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwiches and related items.
The owners of Mama’s Hummus have announced that they will be closing their original Newbury Park location in the Conejo Gateway Plaza (779 N. Wendy Drive) on Wednesday, February 28th. This location has served the Conejo Valley since February 20, 2014.
The good news is that the Camarillo location, which opened on August 9, 2015, is still in business and owners Naji and Suzanne would love to see you stop by. Located just five miles away, down the Conejo Grade, at 5021 Verdugo Way, near Camarillo High School. If you’re looking for delicious, homemade kabobs, shawarma, hummus and other Mediterranean specialties, Mama’s Hummus is worth going out of your way for.
