One of the finest places in Montreal to try Indian food. I would rate it 10/10 on the food quality & taste, we tried their pomfret, chicken, butter paneer & they were all amazing. On top of that the cocktails they have are superb. & the owners are perfect host, they will check on you to ensure that everything is good. & last but not the least their pistachio tiramisu was extremely tasty, I would highly recommend this place.View more

The food is delectable & authentic. I have tried variety of dishes & all lived beyond expectations. I have tried almost all the indian cusine restaurants in downtown but cafe rutba stands out. The quality is intact every single time you dine throughout the year. The service is top notch. The servers are polite & efficient. The owner/host is kind, considerate & sincere. She will make sure you have a fine dining experience. The ambience is mesmerizing with beautiful seating, lights & great music.View more

We had a lovely meal at Rutba. Amazing Indian food with a twist & interesting pairings. We had the Pani Puri, the Papri Chat, Tikka with blue cheese & the Butter Chicken with pistachio & raisins, which were all delicious. Great atmosphere & presentation. Aleena, our waitress, was very attentive & took great care of us.View more

We ordered the thali. All the items were good but the curries were mostly sweet, i like spicy. The portion of rice & bread could be better if increased a bit. Loved the decor & the vibe. Good location to enjoy some indian food & take some pictures for the gram.View more

They say food can make you feel at home & well this place proves it. Visited Rutba with my parents & it was everything about home they were missing - great Indian flavours, warm & welcoming vibes & nostalgic music. We ordered chicken tikka that was juicy & flavourful, the saag channa was an unexpected surprise & paneer biryani was the best we had in a while. Must try for anyone looking for'Ghar ka khana' with a twistView more

This place took me for surprise - the laid back atmosphere cafe. Had you feeling you were somewhere in India itself with all the wicker decor. Must say the food was high quality for sure - loads of options. I wish I could go here more often. I had the pani puri plus the combo 1 the presentation of everything was beautiful- the menu well thought of. Highly recommend 🫶🏾 Probably one of the best Indian food spaces I've had in a LONG time.View more
