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.
This is a family run restaurant that you would think was a popular haunt for the last 50 years in a heavily walked pedestrian part of the city core. So how lucky are those living in Saint-Laurent to be able to drive here in a few minutes & park merely feet away from the front door for free! Always clean, always busy, always delicious, always eat too much. Amazing, fresh Indian food served with no nonsense & at a fast clip. Many people take out. The food flies out the door non stop.

Kuljit India in Ville Saint-Laurent is an absolute gem! The ambiance is warm & inviting, & the staff are incredibly welcoming & attentive. The food is outstanding-each dish bursting with authentic flavors & perfect spices. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite is a delight. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving delicious, authentic Indian cuisine in Montreal!
As an indian & a punjabi, my honest opinion on kuljit's is quite simply lackluster. Their approach to the authencity of the cuisine is that of cutting corners. Now,are the dishes representative of the culture? Somewhat.very vaguely does your palate associate their dhals with the homely taste that is custom across the board. Their non vegetarian dishes have a certain gaminess. this is evident of a lack of proper methodology. The cherry on top, the service is very cold & distant. Not genuine to how things are done in the old country. Overrall, it's an imitation of a punjabi eatery. Why bother when there are so many more better options, a mere stone's throw away.
I'm a vegetarian & could vouch only for that. We tried, garlic naan, butter naan(which were hard to chew), & being a South Indian, requested spicy curries, but still they were not anywhere being near. Sorry for the harsh review, but the food was not as expected as my friend's recommendation.
Undoubtedly one of the finest Indian Punjabi dining experiences I have had in this city. This place is a must try. The flavors were absolutely on point, & the quality exceeded expectations. The generous protein portions in each dish are truly commendable. I will most certainly be returning.
Best Indian food i ever had! The food is DELICIOUS & the service is amazing. I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. Will definitely go again. Thank you!
Fairly priced. They are nice people & there is ample parking outside. Their food never give me any upset stomach unlike many other indian restaurants that are cheaper but use low quality ingredients. Highly recommended. 👍🏼👍🏼
This is like our regular go to place. Whenever we think of homely Indian food , we feel like visiting Kuljit India. I never felt the necessity of putting my review for them , but during our recent visit we were so overwhelmed by the impeccable taste of fish pakora that I took a vow to post my review. It was super tasty, tender from inside & crispy from outside. Their chole bhature, paneer butter masala, mixed veg, lamb seekh kebab, lamb korma, lamb karahi, paratha worth mentioning for the delicious taste & satisfying quantity. They serve refreshing mango lassi as well. You have option of BYOD too. All the staffs are welcoming & polite. Though they have moderate sitting arrangement but the good part is it's not congested & free parking is available. Anytime is good time to enjoy their food.
Tried few plates & bread. Nothing special, very mediocre & miss thr feel of great Indian spices. Service was good, quick, & friendly. Therefore the 3 stars. I wouldn't say its bad, but this is a one time visit spot unfortunately.
