"Soul food is always a good idea, especially after sitting in a crowded airbus for several hours. This LA soul food institution happens to be within a 10-minute radius of LAX. You can drop by their to-go window or grab a seat inside the casual dining room for a filling meal involving some legendary fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens. Whatever you do, don’t forget to pick up a slice of their signature sweet potato pie—it’s soft and fluffy with a kick of flavor from the cinnamon and nutmeg." - cathy park, brant cox
"Dulan’s Soul Food is a certified Inglewood institution. And while, for the purpose of this guide, the actual existence of “souls” is up in the air, there’s no denying the pure, uninhibited joy that comes from digging into their plates of pork chops, fried chicken, and incredible macaroni & cheese. Don’t worry, you’ll still have plenty of time for that “immortal soul” discussion for later. Dulan’s Soul Food Kitchen is available for takeout, call (310) 671-3345 (or (323) 296-3034 for their Crenshaw location) or find them on various delivery platforms." - kat hong
"A longtime South LA restaurant whose prepared foods are being offered at the new Hyde Park supermarket outlet." - Mona Holmes
"Diners flock to Dulan’s for its namesake cuisine: soul food. The Inglewood location is a standby for generously sized platters of fried chicken, flavorful meatloaf, tender oxtails, and smothered pork chops. Sides like macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and cornbread round out plates here, but all first-timers should save room for peach cobbler at the end of a meal, or at least take a slice to go. After a nearly two-year hiatus for renovations, the restaurant reopened in January 2024 with a reenergized dining room and the same great comfort dishes." - Mona Holmes
"Another great Inglewood spot (there are two locations in Inglewood, and one in Crenshaw), Dulan’s has got soul food options like oxtails, smothered pork chops with gravy, and fried chicken. They all go well with a side of collard greens and corn and okra. And don’t even think about leaving without a container full of the mac & cheese, baked in a sheet pan until it’s crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside." - brett keating
