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
That's very kind. I was craving samosas, so I ordered just two for $3, & they still included chutney with it, which most other restaurants usually don't offer. On top of that, the taste was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated the overall experiencer Today around 6 pm

Tout était délicieux : poulet au beurre, samosas, pakora aux légumes, pain naan... Service rapide. Sauces à volonté pour les entrées. Abordable. Je recommande !

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.
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.
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.
MEILLEUR BUTTERCHICKEN!!!!!!
Sachez que je suis FAN des butterchicken & jen ai gouter plusieurs a differents endroits mais AUCUN est aussi bon que celui-ci. De plus, leur samosa sont vraiment delicieux & pas cher du tout! Je vous conseil de venir a cet endroit pour les butterchicken ainsi que les samosa
Extremely delicious & flavourful food. We ordered the fish pakoras, lentil soup, samosas & chat samosas for appetizers. Even the kids ate it all! The flavours were intense without being overpowering. The goat curry, lamb stew with coconut milk & chicken vindaloo were fantastic. We ordered some of the dishes spicy & they hit the mark without making it too intense. Both fried naan & regular naan were really fresh & crispy. The papadams, raita & paalak panneer were great as well. The owners & servers had a lot of patience considering there were a few rowdy kids there that night, & that is always a bonus for the parents. Highly recommended!!!
