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.
The food is incredible! I ordered the non-veg thali & it was excellent-very generous portions, especially for the price. The staff is extremely kind & welcoming, & the chutneys are delicious, especially the tamarind. Run, don't walk!

The Chole Batura was so delicious & was of a reasonable price. The quality of food & cooking skill of the chef is worth admiring. No other Punjabi restaurant I visited so far can come close to the quality this restaurant offers. I will soon frequent this restaurant.
Highly recommend the fish pakora, so light, crispy & delicious. The restaurant was very busy so you know it's a great spot where locals eat. The prices are super reasonable & all the food we ordered came out hot & delicious! Will definitely be back here the next time I'm visiting montreal.
Food & price ok. Service not friendly at all but quick. Pichet to serve water is dirty. Didn't want to drink water. They forgot the rice from my order. Not sure they have French knowledge
Tried the veg & non veg thali. Both delicious & fresh. The food is not overly greasy. Service is fine. Was lucky to arrive early for lunch because by 12:45 it was packed. Prices are very reasonable & portions are generous. I would love to try more of the menu. Recommended if you're in the area
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. 👍🏼👍🏼
Amazing Delicious Food for reasonable price! We had a large order for takeout & they were perfectly on time with steaming hot food! There was more than enough food for everyone to eat multiple times!
We dined in on a Tuesday night & it wasn't too busy. They allowed us to sit for a few hours without pressuring us to order more or to leave. The food is amazing & tastes as authentic as it gets. Prices are reasonable & the staff were great in offering recommendations!
Very tasty food, staff is polite, & the atmosphere is alright. A little pricey for Indian cuisine, but then again, food pricing has gone up so much in the past 4 years... It's just becoming difficult for everyone to procure groceries at decent prices.
