We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Rutba!
Their Panneer Tikka was to die for, very soft & full of flavors.
Surabi & Shravani were really sweet.
We had a problem with the parking, Surabi came forward & helped us without hesitation.
Shravani recommended the dishes, all of them were mouth watering. Highly recommend this place if you are in Montreal.View more

An amazing gem on Saint-Laurent street! The service is amazing, all the servers were super nice & the food was just DELICIOUS. It's a somewhat small restaurant, but with enough space to walk between the tables & it's not too loud as you can still perfectly hear your own conversation. I definitely recommend & would for sure come back!View more

If I could leave 6 stars I totally would. Everything was spectacular & so rich. In fact, I would recommend getting less food than you think you need because of how filling everything was. The service was also spectacular, everything came out super quick & our hostess knew exactly what sauce I was trying to describe when I didnt know the name of it. Overall, 11/10, if I was a local I would definitely be a regular here.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

I am absolutely delighted with my experience at Rutba, Montreal. This Indian restaurant exceeded all expectations with its exceptional food & diverse menu. What impressed me the most was how they strike the perfect balance-while offering authentic Indian flavors, they also cater to a wider audience, including French & English-speaking locals. The restaurant was buzzing with people from different cultural backgrounds, which speaks volumes about the quality & versatility of their offerings. Here's what I tried & loved: • Hara Bhara Kebab: Perfectly cooked & packed with flavor. • Noodle Manchurian Platter: A unique & creative dish I've never seen before, served in generous portions. • Zafani Broccoli: Simply amazing & cooked to perfection. • Lachha Paratha: The best I've ever had, even compared to those in India-crispy, flaky, & absolutely delicious. • Dal & Paneer Piyaza: Rich, flavorful, & comforting. • Rosemary Naan & Garlic Naan: Soft, aromatic, & bursting with taste. Rutaba has truly mastered the art of blending tradition with innovation. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, & the flavors were nothing short of extraordinary. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Can't wait to visit again! Thanks surbhi & shravani for making our visit to Montreal so special.View 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
