Très bel endroit sur le boulevard saint-laurent, nous recommandons le chicken butter burrata & le paneer do pyaza. Petit mangeur attention les repas sont copieux, vous avez de grande chance de repartir avec un plat à l'emporter, parfait pour prolonger le plaisir à la maison. Ps : les Naan au fromage sont incroyable.
Ria & her team were exceptional hosts, skillfully navigating tight spaces to accommodate all our dishes with ease. For our main meal, we ordered the burrata butter chicken, fish pomfret, & daal. The butter chicken was rich & flavorful, the daal had a wonderfully authentic taste, & the fish offered a fun, interactive dining experience. Highly recommended for those who enjoy bold spices & aromatic flavors!
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 service
We had a great meal with a large group & the staff were very accommodating to our requests. They had great vegetarian & vegan options & phenomenal dessert options. Delicious food! Order the tandoori chicken, it's fantastic!

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.
Loved the food, ambience & service. We had Methi Malai Chicken with Rosemery Naan & Chicken Tikka Biryani. Loved all of them. & above all, it was accompanied by wonderful service.
We were here for the MTL à table experience, which is a great way for restaurants to show off their menu, at least that's what I was expecting. I was so disappointed with this one. Serving paneer with no sauce? interesting. Plate of 4 "malai" shrimps, still no sauce? Naan was great, the rest of the food lacked flavor (I don't know how you can mess up butter chicken...) & this is coming from a non-spicy eater lol. I don't understand how this place is so highly rated, especially considering that Montreal has so many great Indian food spots. Lastly, I don't care much for the service if the food is great, but in this case, maybe a nicer service would've made up for the bland food? first & last time for me!
Visited Rutba for their MTLàTable menu set at 35$ For the price at which this menu is offered, the dinner was worth it. The lahsooni murg tikka was my personal highlight; the chicken pieces were smoky & succulently juicy, & the sauce aromatic & creamy. The naan bread was soft & crispy. The butter chicken was creamy but perhaps lacked the stronger kick of richness that I typically prefer. Service was very nice. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. The ambiance is very warm & welcoming. The walls are beautifully scattered with canvas frames. Large plants & brass dinnerware nicely compliment the wood-focused interior design. Unfortunately a set of flickering lights in the dining room were straining to the eyes & headache-inducing by the end of the meal.

I went to this restaurant because of their 4 versions of butter chicken. I had the burrata butter chicken & it was delicious. One of the best I had. The cocktails were also good. The best part is the personalized service. Definitely going back & 100% recommend.
Great food & friendly staff. I had the chicken curry with rice which was amazing. There are plenty of other dishes that seem equally good. I will be back!
A wonderful establishment. Chique vibes & a compelling menu. I tried the maple butter chicken & rosemary naan, & it was delicious. For a drink, I ordered the Bengal Bay. Super kind & attentive staff, a fun early friday evening eat.
Awesome Food & great ambience..must try Bhatti ka murg , karahi chicken, honey chilli cauliflower & the rasmalai tiramisu is to die for. The ambience is very cozy & the decor is great..even the selection of music is very well thought of.
Live music on Friday was great! My gf & I took the bengali fish curry & tandoori chicken. I enjoyed it alot & the food was fresh & tasty! Service was a tiny bit slow but the food made it worth it
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.
