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.
It is an unfortunate visit of mine here in this restaurant . I came from Vancouver just to have something good but i just get zero food quality & the server is not pleasant
Today, we took our friends to this restaurant for a party, but unfortunately our experience was very disappointing. First of all, the staff service was extremely poor. The staff was not welcoming at all, there was no smile on their faces, & the way food was served felt careless & disrespectful. It almost felt like they were upset with us for no reason.
When we showed our dissatisfaction, there was no regret or concern on their faces, & no effort was made to improve the situation.
Coming to the food quality, it was also below expectations. We ordered some starters, & for dinner we ordered curries & naan. The appetizers had no taste at all, & the main course was bland. Even the naan did not feel fresh.
The most disappointing part was that despite such poor service & average food, the bill was very high, which was not at all justified according to the quality & service provided.
Overall, after spending so much money, we were not satisfied at all. We would not recommend this restaurant. The management seriously needs to work on staff behavior, service quality, food taste, & pricing.

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.
Its to good taste such like Amritsar kulcha i am from Amritsar & i am missing this type of food in canada i tried in many places but taste such like this i never held in Montreal. Quantity & quality is too good.
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.

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. 👍🏼👍🏼
Nice Mango Lassi The biriani is not a wow factor but it's ok. I find it's missing the usual ginger, Coriander, & other ingredients. I'm still looking for the best Biryani out there. The fish panoramic is light, fluffy, not oily & slightly undercooked. We loved their Chati Samosa, even though the previous time it came with much more garnish. Overall the food is good, I just wished there was more consistency with the food quality & how it's presented. Parking has never been an issue so far. The waitress was very kind & polite.
