What a wonderful experience! I went to dine with young kids, the staff was smiling, helpful & fun! The amount of times they came to enquire if we were ok & if everything was fine showed how much they care about their customers. The food was delicious. Montreal lacks good Indian food & Rutba fulfils that lack for sure! Amazing experience! I will always go back!

A true Indian cuisine in downtown Montreal. Our family is very happy about the food. They are quite busy. They don't allow us to call & reserve a table. This restaurant is first come first serve.
We arrived around 18:20. We waited not long because the staff tried to find a table for 6 of us. The restaurant is not big so all tables are very close to each other.
Food is awesome, real Indian taste. I love all curries especially lamb curry. Naan is soft & nice. Paneer dish & chicken tandoori are flavorful.
Service is attentive. Thank to Miss Simran. She is great & smiles all the time.
We will definitely come back.

Last night's experience is now an interesting dilemma. I had invited a friend. We ate well. The food was excellent. I paid the bill for both of us. & I added 15% tip. The total was $111 CAD. Ten minutes after paying, we were asked nicely to leave, because that same table needed to be cleared as they had a reservation. We were using a table for 2. & other tables were free, for up to 6 people. I asked the waitress for some explanation & I was discarded, as if the whole case was settled already. It was too late but, for the sake of the restaurant, here is some advice. ONE, if you're sitting people at a table, let them know that you have a reservation for that table at whatever time, & let them know, before they order. TWO, if it's your habit to send people out after they've paid the bill, let them know ahead of time, so that they won't leave you a tip that they now regret leaving, very much so. THREE, if I'll order again, it will be via the delivery service, as no one can kick me out of my dining room. My conclusion? Go for the food but not for the service. Oh, as a reference, last night, Thursday night, there was a man & a woman, as waiters. It's the woman who kicked us out, after we paid.

Two days in row, & we loved their food. Their soya chaap is to die for, not being a chaap lover myself but their is commendable. Talking about service, Simran & Rhitik did a great job. They gave us a warm welcome & it felt like we were in india. Just loved it.

The service was mixed during our visit. The gentleman working there was very polite & welcoming, but the other staff members came across as quite cold. Unfortunately, the food also did not meet our expectations.

While, we did not try many items from the menu the few that we did were excellent. In particular the tandoori chicken was perfect. We also had the eggplant curry, which was delicious & it was very affordable. Will definitely be returning.
