We picked that restaurant over the really good reviews we saw & we have to say the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
The food was delicious, better than most of the indian restaurant I experienced in Montréal.
The lahsooni Murg Tikka is out of this world, if you like chicken this is it. Portions are good & service is excellent. Thank you Sim & Pushya.View more

Sorry, we have no pictures. We started eating right away because the food looked so appetizing. We were NOT disappointed. We ordered, Pani Puri, Samosa Chaat, Classic Butter Chicken, Coconut Shrimp Malai, Naan & Gulab Jamun. The ingredients were fresh, everything was delicious. The waitress Sim was very helpful & knowledgeable. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite spot for Indian food.View more

Fantastic service & food. We had the boozy mango lassi, it was terrific. We also had the maple butter chicken & the saag chicken, with rosemary naan & paratha & wow. So good. Sim, the waitress was incredibly helpful with the recommendations :)View more

The decor & location is nice, but regrettably the food isn't authentic Indian cuisine. The 4.8 score is misleading.
We tried the butter chicken & Bengali fish. The butter chicken gravy seemed to be on the watery side & the fish prep was not Bengali. It can be replicated using KFI butter chicken gravy jars from the grocery store. Putting mustard seeds in fish doesn't make it Bengali prep, it had a plain tomato onion base & tasted like Aloo Matar with fish. I felt sad for the fish which ended up in this prep.
Food was just okay, if you're not looking for that authentic Indian taste.View more

Mr.
Très bel endroit sur le boulevard saint-laurent, nous recommandons le chicken butter burrata & le paneer do pyaza. Petit mangeur attention les repas sont copieux, vous avez de grande chance de repartir avec un plat à l'emporter, parfait pour prolonger le plaisir à la maison. Ps : les Naan au fromage sont incroyable.View more

Ria & her team were exceptional hosts, skillfully navigating tight spaces to accommodate all our dishes with ease. For our main meal, we ordered the burrata butter chicken, fish pomfret, & daal. The butter chicken was rich & flavorful, the daal had a wonderfully authentic taste, & the fish offered a fun, interactive dining experience. Highly recommended for those who enjoy bold spices & aromatic flavors!View more

Food: Pretty good food, but i would recommend going classic on some dish items. I saw a pumpkin spice butter chicken dish & was really skeptical about it as an Indian, that would definitely not hit. The ambience is nice though & cute for going out with friends/coworker/etc. Good serviceView more

Poor service, decent food. Rant coming up. Made a reservation five days before & they cancelled it "accidentally". When I asked to be accommodated they said no. Went on a different day & had a reservation for 9:30 pm. I stood at the gate till 10 pm until finally being seated. The host only came to speak to at the entrance at 9:50 pm. Several servers walked past but no one gave cared to stop & ask. I am a customer & I pay for service, so I need to be respected as a customer. While the restaurant was busy, servers were standing near the bar & chatting, which didn't seem like they were busy. Extremely disappointed with the service & treatment. After being seated, I waited for over 15 minutes for someone to take my order. They were waiting for someone else to show up despite me telling the servers that it was just me dining. As for the food, pretty average. Starters are good, highly recommend the Samosa chaat but not worth the price. Butter chicken was so sweet & I had to literally ask for salt & chilli -> this tells me that they mostly cater to white taste buds. If you go there, expect an aesthetic environment & food. Better Indian restaurants than this for better price so don't recommend.View more

Loved the food, ambience & service. We had Methi Malai Chicken with Rosemery Naan & Chicken Tikka Biryani. Loved all of them. & above all, it was accompanied by wonderful service.View more

We were here for the MTL à table experience, which is a great way for restaurants to show off their menu, at least that's what I was expecting. I was so disappointed with this one. Serving paneer with no sauce? interesting. Plate of 4 "malai" shrimps, still no sauce? Naan was great, the rest of the food lacked flavor (I don't know how you can mess up butter chicken...) & this is coming from a non-spicy eater lol. I don't understand how this place is so highly rated, especially considering that Montreal has so many great Indian food spots. Lastly, I don't care much for the service if the food is great, but in this case, maybe a nicer service would've made up for the bland food? first & last time for me!View more

Visited Rutba for their MTLàTable menu set at 35$ For the price at which this menu is offered, the dinner was worth it. The lahsooni murg tikka was my personal highlight; the chicken pieces were smoky & succulently juicy, & the sauce aromatic & creamy. The naan bread was soft & crispy. The butter chicken was creamy but perhaps lacked the stronger kick of richness that I typically prefer. Service was very nice. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. The ambiance is very warm & welcoming. The walls are beautifully scattered with canvas frames. Large plants & brass dinnerware nicely compliment the wood-focused interior design. Unfortunately a set of flickering lights in the dining room were straining to the eyes & headache-inducing by the end of the meal.View more
