Must haves: Ras Malai Tres Leches & Bagel Naan
Overall the food here is really good, great spice level & really tasty. The bagel naan is so unique (it's naan stuffed with cream cheese & topped with sesame seeds). & the Ras Malai Tres Leches is one of the best desserts I've ever had.
Service is also friendly & caring. The mural inside is really cool 😎
⭐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.
Must try Laal Maas & Garlic naan! So delicious & big thanks to Simran for her service!!
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 :)
Quelle magnifique découverte sur le boulevard Saint-Laurent. Nous avons passé une soirée mémorable avec des plats savoureux présentés dans de superbes petits chaudrons en métal.
Le naan aux herbes était tout simplement délicieux & parfaitement cuit. Chaque bouchée était un pur bonheur pour les papilles. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter pour explorer le reste de la carte.
Fav Indian res in Montreal! Simran was so awesome. She let us have a great experience at the restaurant with amazing recommendations & service. 11/10 would go again. Food was top notch. We got the samosa chaat, kofta, paneer, garlic naan, & lachha parantha. All incredible. Can't wait to go back. Music was amazing. The lighting was awesome. We loved the overall experience.
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.
Bestest food.. Even the breads are awesome. We got one cheese & one bagel naan, It was full of flavours & cheese bursting in mouth. We got the bok choy chat.. which was amaaazinggg.. shrimp curry was great as well.. & on that even though we were so full, we couldn't resist getting the mango cheesecake.. which was the best cheese cake I ever had..
& the server, Simran.. She's so welcoming & happy face.. loved her..
Definitely visiting again n again..
They know what are they doing.. & they love it as well..
We had a nice dinner at Rutba & explored quite a bit of the menu.
The appetizers were definitely the highlight! The Mahi Moti was perfectly crispy on the outside with lovely flaky fish inside, & the Banarasi Cutlet had a great crunch & a surprising little kick of spice that we really enjoyed.
For the mains, the Mewa Mawa Kofta was a standout-the curry was incredibly smooth, rich, & flavorful. We paired everything with the Naan au beurre, which was fresh & hit the spot.
The only slight disappointment was the Lamb Biryani. We ordered it medium spicy, & while the flavor was there, the consistency was a bit watery, which isn't quite what you expect from a biryani.
