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.

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..

Absolutely amazing place. The food is sooo good (& very enjoyable for a low spice tolerance person like me). It is so generous & tasty. The menu isn't expensive & the portions are very big. Plus, the atmosphere is calm, with low very chill music, which is appreciated with food like that I find. The servers were extremely kind & helpful. Honestly, a well-decorated cozy cute & delicious gem!

Loved everything about Rutba Restaurant!
From the tasty food to their excellent signature drinks, everything was top-notch. Simran, our server, was incredibly friendly & professional. She made us feel very comfortable & well taken care of.

Délicieux resto indien, un des rares qui n'est pas BYOB. Les cocktails étaient excellents, le aloo gobi, le poulet au beurre, l'agneau korma, les naans à l'ail, pani puri. Mention spéciale aux samosas & notez que les naans sont immenses. Ça vaut la peine de l'essayer, très bien décoré également.

Taste was good. We tried multiple appetizers. But the portions were a bit smaller than expected. Other than that, it's a nice place. Our server was also very polite & friendly.

Just wanted to let you know that my partner became violently ill about 3 hours after eating at your restaurant on Saturday night ( Jan 24 at 7 pm) & had to go to the ER where she was diagnosed with food poisoning. We're not looking for anything, just thought you should be aware in case there's a food safety issue. She had the combo with a veggie cutlet & the spicy lamb curry. I had the combo with veggie cutlet & rogan Josh - I am not sick.
Thanks

When Katy Perry said'I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece', she was talking about Rutba! It's the best Indian food I've tried in Montreal. I'll absolutely be back. Plus, they have Guinness. 10/10

Nous avions déjà hâte de découvrir ce restaurant à travers les photos des avis. Mais quelle belle découverte ! La cuisine est délicieuse ! De la très bonne qualité & très abordable ! Notre serveuse était absolument géniale aussi, tellement attentionnée. C'était l'anniversaire de mon conjoint, & ils nous ont fait la surprise à tous les deux de nous offrir une part d'un délicieux gâteau avec une bougie & ils ont mis la musique d'anniversaire & toute la salle chantait & applaudissait ! Quel beau souvenir ! Ce restaurant va nous revoir très souvent !

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!

What a wonderful experience! I went to dine with young kids, the staff was smiling, helpful & fun! The amount of times they came to enquire if we were ok & if everything was fine showed how much they care about their customers. The food was delicious. Montreal lacks good Indian food & Rutba fulfils that lack for sure! Amazing experience! I will always go back!
