Best Indian food in Montreal!
A huge shout out to Sim, our fabulous server, & also to the Chef, who was very accommodating. Our table was difficult: lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance, vegetarian, & 2 other picky eaters... But Sim was so patient, plus the dishes were perfectly prepared & absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back!

J'ai passé un excellent moment au restaurant Indian Rutba à Montréal. La nourriture était absolument délicieuse, pleine de saveurs authentiques & parfaitement préparée. Chaque plat était un vrai plaisir !
Le restaurant était très occupé, mais malgré l'achalandage, l'équipe a su tout gérer avec le sourire, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus agréable.
Un merci tout particulier à Simran pour sa gentillesse & son attention exceptionnelle. Son accueil chaleureux a vraiment fait la différence. C'est une personne douce & très professionnelle.

Great food & service!! The samosas are delicious. Got the coconut shrimp combo & it's really good portions for what you pay. Everything was super good, would recommend. Our server, Sim, was super nice as well & gave us great recommendations.
I came to the restaurant for my friend's birthday & we all had a good time. We enjoyed the food, it was better than I expected! Our waitress, Sim, was also really kind & helpful.
