Went there during night with my friend. Stunning Indian cuisine, every dishes are packed with flavors. Theres nothing more you can ask. Highly recommended their combo if you want to try more flavors at once.
Just a little discomfort from the bench seatings.
Remember to reserve your seats if you do not want to wait.
Wow, quel service incroyable! La nourriture était vraiment délicieuse, j'ai adoré. & les portions, n'en parlons pas, elles étaient énormes! J'avais tellement mangé que j'ai failli exploser. C'était ma première fois & franchement, j'ai été agréablement surpris. Je recommande à tout le monde d'essayer. C'est sûr que je vais y retourner bientôt. Une expérience à répéter sans hésiter!
It was a wonder Indian dinner, probably at one of the finest places to be. Our server Simran was extremely responsive & catered to our special requirements. Pls make a reservation or else be ready to wait for a while. Overall experience was amazing & would definitely recommend & revisit.

Si vous aimez la cuisine indienne, foncez au Rutba ! Ce restaurant propose une cuisine excellente ! Le poulet au beurre épicé à la citrouille servi avec le naan Rosemary sont à tomber ! Le cheesecake à la mangue est succulent. Un des meilleurs que j'ai mangé. Je recommande vivement ce resto. Un grand merci pour le service & merci à Sim pour son accueil & sa gentillesse.

Sim was one of our waitresses she was very nice & amazing service! Delicious food & came super quick... also, a clean & aestetic environment is a plus without taking away from the authenticity of the food! Would def recommend!
10/10, would recommend. Great food, service & ambiance. No complaints. Love that we did not feel rushed to leave, they let us stay/chat till our hearts content. Did I mention the great food?! Very fair priced too.
The ambiance & music is great! I loved their Lamb Biryani. Overall my experience was really nice & I would recommend it to anybody looking for authentic Indian cuisine!

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.
An amazing gem on Saint-Laurent street! The service is amazing, all the servers were super nice & the food was just DELICIOUS. It's a somewhat small restaurant, but with enough space to walk between the tables & it's not too loud as you can still perfectly hear your own conversation. I definitely recommend & would for sure come back!
