I recently had the pleasure of trying Rutba & was blown away by the experience! The atmosphere was warm & inviting, & the service was top-notch. But the real star of the show was the food - every dish we ordered was expertly prepared & bursting with flavor. I was particularly impressed by the Junglee mass, which was cooked to perfection & presented beautifully. This dish is spicy though! So it's not for the fair hearted! Overall, I would highly recommend Rutba to anyone looking for a delicious & memorable Indian meal. The combination of great food, excellent service, & cozy atmosphere makes it a standout in the Montreal scene!View more

We ate here for our anniversary dinner, & it was one of the most delicious & satisfying meals I've had in a very long time. The samosa were big & flaky, & the palak paneer had just the right amount of spice. Highly recommend the burrata butter chicken. Well-designed interior & impeccable service.View more

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

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

I came here with my friend when she was visiting Montreal & it did not disappoint!! Our server Kira was lovely & gave us the excellent recommendation of pani puri as an appetizer. It was delightfully refreshing, we loved the tangy water. Also just fun to eat. The presentation of the dishes was beautiful not to mention taste phenomenal. The paneer tikka masala was our favorite dish we ordered. As for naan, definitely get the cheese naan. They don't mess around. Highly recommend this restaurant!View more

La cuisine indienne est ma favorite & j'ai decouvert le meilleur restaurant indient que j'ai eu la chance d'essayer. La cuisine de ce restaurant est tout a fait incroyable & ils apportent de l'innovation dans les recettes originaires. Comme le Poulet au beurre avec la Burrata. C'est un melange délicieux. Si j'avais pu gouter a tout le menu je l'aurais fait mais ça sera pour une prochaine fois. Je le recommande vraiment a tout amateur de bonne cuisine... c'était une explosion de saveur ______ Indian cuisine is my favorite & I discovered the best Indian restaurant I have ever had the chance to try. The cuisine of this restaurant is absolutely incredible & they bring innovation to the original recipes. Like Butter Chicken with Burrata. It's a delicious mix.
