FABULOUS butter chicken! Not the most authentic I suspect, but the best I've had hands down outside of the UK.
It was a great first time experience with friendly staff, free food samples (which is uncommon), and a few handmade Indian sweets. Comfortable atmosphere and an awesome vegetarian or gluten-free selection. -

I was pleasantly surprised the first time I tried Kuku's, especially with some of the negative things I've read. The food was abundant, cheap, and flavourful, though the sauce of the chana masala has a vomit-like colour. At first glance, it seemed as if it could be a decent option for Indian food for a third of the price of any other place in town.
However, our second Kuku's order failed. The chana masala still looked like vomit, but it lacked the flavour it had previously. Our naan was lukewarm and gummy (it was warm and fresh for our previous order). And we tried the Malai Kofta this time and it just tasted like mush.
It's worth paying three timees the price to go to Amrikko's or Sizzling Tandoor. -

Finally decided to drop in on kuku's, passed it by so many times previously. They are honest about the food up front, it says catering and take out and makes no claims of being a restaurant or making food to order.
PROS: was in and out with my take out order for myself, fiancée and daughter in under 10 minutes for just under $20
CONS: food was mostly terrible. Every single thing is prepared beforehand, I'm scared to think it may be days on end. The dessert was overly soggy, the naan was rubbery, the buttered chicken smelled decent but tasted noticeably worse then something you could buy at the corner store in a jar and made my stomach hurt shortly after. The veggie samosas were alright but barely better than grocery store deli heat-rack ones. The basmati rice was fairly good.
Count me out of ever going back to kuku's no matter how fast and cheap it is. -

Food is quite good and the prices are reasonable. $10 for a combo with a pretty decent amount of food. My main gripe with this place is that they have been advertising an all you can eat buffet but it's been several months without opening. I asked them when they intend to open it too and they said not for a couple months still at least. This is just cruel...we need another Indian buffet in Saanich to compete with Sabris! Anyway yeah check it out. They seem to know and enjoy what they're doing when it comes to making food, just not how to set up a buffet apparently!
