⭐Honest Feedback for Rutba - Indian Cuisine ⭐
1. The restaurant has only one AC, which is not enough to cool the place; it was extremely hot inside. They kept industrial fans, but even those were not working properly & didn't help with ventilation.
2. We ordered Kadai Chicken, Naan, Dal Tadka, Rice, & Lassi. The quantity of all dishes was very less compared to the price. The lassi was watery, lacking thickness & taste.
3. The washroom was extremely unhygienic, smelling like an Indian public washroom - very unpleasant.
Overall, the experience was just okay, nothing special & not worth revisiting.
My friend & I recently visited Rutba, & we had an absolutely amazing dining experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding, every dish was packed with flavour & beautifully prepared.
We started with the Samosa Chaat, which was the perfect balance of crispy, tangy, & savoury flavours. For our mains, we ordered the Lamb Biryani & Chicken Tikka, both of which were exceptional. The lamb biryani was aromatic, rich, & perfectly seasoned, while the chicken tikka was tender, juicy, & full of smoky flavour. We also enjoyed the Butter Naan, which was fresh, soft, & the perfect accompaniment to our meal.
What truly elevated our experience was the service. Sravani was incredibly warm, welcoming, & attentive throughout our visit. She worked efficiently despite being busy, made us feel genuinely cared for, & provided excellent recommendations that helped us choose some of our favourite dishes of the evening. Her friendly personality & professionalism added so much to the overall experience.
Between the delicious food, inviting atmosphere, & exceptional service, Rutba exceeded our expectations. We left completely satisfied & hiiiighly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, flavourful food & outstanding hospitality :)
The ambiance is quite nice especially with the open air concept. The service was really good, the waitress was very patient & helped us out. The food was where is it gets a bit muddy. The portion was quite small in my opinion. We got the butter chicken & the $50 meal for two & the portion size was diabolically small (the $50 plate is left in the photo + naan) There was also barely any chicken in both curries. The chicken tikka masala was fine taste wise. I did enjoy the samosa & butter chicken but everything else was just fine.
We had a delicious dinner here. My husband & I really enjoyed the Tandoori chicken & lamb rogan josh. I also had the Gulabi Breeze cocktail, really pretty & tasty too. Simran & her coworker who served us were both great.
Our first visit to Rutba was such a delight - tasty food, cozy ambiance, & friendly service. We may have ordered a bit too much, but everything was so good it was hard not to.
The star for us was the Telangana chicken curry: bold flavors with curry leaves giving off a beautiful perfumed aroma. The lamb rogan josh was also a favorite.
We couldn't resist the Rasmalai Tres Leches dessert, which did not disappoint. The flavors of cardamom, rose, & pistachio in this tiramisu-style sweet were divine. A perfect way to end a wonderful meal.
The space is casual & comfortable, & the staff are attentive & kind.
We're already planning our return for the samosa chaat, one of their many butter chicken variations, & another round of that Rasmalai dessert.
I don't know how to fully express how good it was. The taste was perfect, exactly like the food from my hometown. The servers were incredibly kind & sweet, which made the experience even better. I absolutely loved the overall experience & would definitely recommend it as one of the best Indian restaurants in Canada. ( I ordered Chicken Gilafi Kebab 10/10, malai kofta curry 11/10 & Gulab jamun with icecream 9/10)
Really tasty samosa & chicken korma. $60 with tip but I ate enough for two 🤣🤣👌🏻
