Kuljit India is widely praised as a hidden gem with a warm ambiance and fast, friendly service, offering authentic Indian and Punjabi flavors that shine from samosas and chana bhatura to butter chicken, naan, aloo gobi, and fish pakora. The food is described as fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced, with many diners noting generous portions and a homely, no-nonsense approach that keeps locals and visitors coming back for takeout or dine-in. Spice levels are customizable, and some dishes are highlighted as must-tries, including the amritsari kulcha and the chole bhatura. While the restaurant is consistently busy and the overall experience is positive, a few reviews point to occasional portion size changes, uneven service, and decor that could improve, and one account mentions a staff member being less welcoming. On balance, Kuljit India emerges as one of the city's top Indian-Punjabi options, delivering delicious, comforting dishes at fair prices and a reliable, repeat-worthy dining experience.
never ate something i didn't like here, & whenever i bring people who aren't big fans of indian food, they have always finished their plate! lamb, chicken, samosas, naan, everything is perfect
I'm no expert in Indian cuisine but I know what I like, & I really like this place, not only great competitive pricing but very delicious food, just ordered the lamb korma, chicken & lamb biryani all was outstanding. You have just earned yourself a future repeat regular customer.

This is my all time favourite indian restaurant! The lady there even remembers us everytime! I have tried many butter chicken from other places in montreal, even Dishoom from London but i always come back to kuljit!
I've been coming to this place since I was a child, & the food has always been top-notch. Whenever we come as a family, we order the thali because it lets us try different dishes at a reasonable cost. Be sure to try the mango lassi & the butter chicken-they're amazing! Their samosas are also delicious. The restaurant is small, so I would recommend avoiding rush hours if possible.
It was affordable. The food was good, but not good enough to be worth a detour if you don't live nearby. The lamb dish we tried was just ok. The butter chicken was better but not too memorable. The restaurant is small. Didn't have to wait long, as we want on a weekday, but I don't know if it gets crowded on weekends. Free parking is available, but it's limited.
Absolutely love this place. It is my favourite restaurant in Montreal! I've been to many Indian restaurants, & the butter chicken here is by far the best I've ever had. The garlic naan, channa samosa, samosa & mango lassi are a perfect pairing. I have recommended Kuljit to everyone I know. The ladies working there are so sweet as well, & I cannot say enough good things about Kuljit.
We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered especially the chilli chicken, samosas & tandoori. The chicken tikka was also excellent with the garlic naan. The beef biryani was flavorful & the meat tender. Will be back in the future!

The best restaurant in the neighborhood hands down. Dine in, take out you name it. Best channa samosa, butter chicken & garlic naan in Montreal. Reasonable price & delicious food.
Family runned Indian restaurant. I ordered the butter chicken combo which was excellent. (non-vegetarian thali = assortment of naan, rice, butter chicken is $1 extra , small salad & an extra order of naan)
The chicken birianai was ok. They have been around forever & has good food for a group of people to share if you are new & want to experiment new flavours.
Quick diner for 2, we were sitting for 1h until the waitress cleaned our table as soon as we stopped eating. She even took away our napkins & glasses of water, luckily we have water in our car. Basically kind of kick us out. Food was great but their saltiness is too much to our taste. The chicken has it meat smell as it wasn't blended to the sauce. I would recommend take-out over dine-in.
