Had really high expectations but unfortunately this place is just alright nice place nice people but it kind of felt like watered down Indian food for white people I mean it was ok but where was the vodka in my martini & the butter chicken tasted like it had more sugar than spice not bad but not good eithe

We were charged $45 per person, but the menu options were very limited across appetizers, main course, & dessert. There was no à la carte menu available either.

The appetizer portion was extremely small, although the taste was good. For the main course, there was only one chicken option. I requested my butter chicken to be spicy, but it came out quite sweet instead, which I genuinely didn't enjoy. The main course overall was not up to the mark.

On a positive note, the dessert was excellent & definitely the highlight of the meal.

Wasted $100 on valentines over the food we didn't like!

5/5 Stars - Hands down the best Indian food I've had in Montréal!
I recently visited this incredible Indian restaurant with my family, & it was an absolute standout experience from start to finish. The chef here is clearly very experienced & passionate - you can taste the authentic touch in every single dish. It's like having a master cook prepare a home-style feast with perfect balance of spices & flavors.
The naan was phenomenal - fresh from the tandoor, soft, fluffy, slightly charred on the edges, & buttery in the best way possible. We ordered garlic naan & plain, & both disappeared in minutes because they were that good! Paired perfectly with the curries.
Speaking of the curries, they were superb - rich, aromatic, & full of depth without being overwhelmingly spicy (though you can ask for more heat if you like). We tried the butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, & a lamb curry - all were flavorful, creamy where they should be, & the spices were layered beautifully. The portions were generous, & everything tasted fresh & made with care.
The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, making it ideal for a family outing. The staff was friendly & attentive, & they made sure our kids enjoyed their milder options too. No rush, comfortable seating, & the whole place felt inviting.
This is easily the best Indian restaurant I've come across in Montréal - authentic, delicious, & worth every penny. We had such a great time that we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone craving real Indian flavors! Will definitely be coming back soon. ❤?

Went for mtl à table once & I really liked it. Then I ordered food from there again & it was so oily & average. The butter chicken was really sweet, the Bengali fish curry was blend but the fish was soft & good. The lamb rogan josh was not spicy. I'm bit disappointed..

Loved this Indian spot-4 stars for killer butter chicken, fluffy garlic naan, speedy friendly service, & unbeatable value! Bursting with flavor, though the wait was a tad long on a busy night. Still highly recommend for a tasty night out!

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.

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.

Inspite of the Chaos of a holiday night, we absolutely loved the service, food & atmosphere here.. The person who took our order was honest about what would taste good & what would be the best for us. The wonderful ladies there were patient, kind & honest about wait times setting the right expectations... The food was delicious. We had rice, dal tadka, chicken tikka masala & lamb Biriyani. The Biriyani was okayish. But everything else was amazing.

Amazing food, cozy vibe & great staff. We were a group of 8 craving for some indian food & rutba did not disappoint. Especially delicious was their burata butter chicken - finger licking good!
