Rutba offre une cuisine indienne authentique dans une ambiance chaleureuse et cosy, avec des portions généreuses et des plats riches en arômes allant des currys onctueux au naan fraîchement cuit et à des touches innovantes comme le burrata butter chicken. Le service est attentif et convivial, capable de s'adapter aux préférences d'épices et de rendre chaque visite adaptée aussi bien à une soirée entre amis qu'à un repas en famille, dans un cadre accueillant et verdoyant. La carte met en vedette des spécialités très appréciées telles que butter chicken, dal rutba, paneer lababdar, rogan josh, samosas et ras malai tiramisu, le tout à des prix raisonnables et parfois des concerts live ajoutent à l'expérience. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, le décor est soigné et le service est souvent décrit comme attentionné, faisant de cet endroit une adresse prisée pour les amateurs de cuisine indienne à Montréal.
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.

5/5 Stars - Hands down the best Indian food I've had in Montréal!
I recently visited this incredible Indian restaurant with my family, & it was an absolute standout experience from start to finish. The chef here is clearly very experienced & passionate - you can taste the authentic touch in every single dish. It's like having a master cook prepare a home-style feast with perfect balance of spices & flavors.
The naan was phenomenal - fresh from the tandoor, soft, fluffy, slightly charred on the edges, & buttery in the best way possible. We ordered garlic naan & plain, & both disappeared in minutes because they were that good! Paired perfectly with the curries.
Speaking of the curries, they were superb - rich, aromatic, & full of depth without being overwhelmingly spicy (though you can ask for more heat if you like). We tried the butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, & a lamb curry - all were flavorful, creamy where they should be, & the spices were layered beautifully. The portions were generous, & everything tasted fresh & made with care.
The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, making it ideal for a family outing. The staff was friendly & attentive, & they made sure our kids enjoyed their milder options too. No rush, comfortable seating, & the whole place felt inviting.
This is easily the best Indian restaurant I've come across in Montréal - authentic, delicious, & worth every penny. We had such a great time that we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend to anyone craving real Indian flavors! Will definitely be coming back soon. ❤?
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.
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!
A true Indian cuisine in downtown Montreal. Our family is very happy about the food. They are quite busy. They don't allow us to call & reserve a table. This restaurant is first come first serve.
We arrived around 18:20. We waited not long because the staff tried to find a table for 6 of us. The restaurant is not big so all tables are very close to each other.
Food is awesome, real Indian taste. I love all curries especially lamb curry. Naan is soft & nice. Paneer dish & chicken tandoori are flavorful.
Service is attentive. Thank to Miss Simran. She is great & smiles all the time.
We will definitely come back.

?'What an impressive meal at Rutba! Honestly, I was blown away by the presentation-every single plate was absolutely beautiful, looking like something you'd see in a magazine.
?The food was rich, maybe even a little heavy, but in the best way possible. Those curries (mewa kofta & murgh makhni andaz) were incredibly decadent & creamy, perfect for tearing apart some fresh naan & dipping. The appetizers were fun, especially the Pani Puri. & dessert (rasmalai très leches & gulab jamun with ice cream) was the perfect, elegant finish.
?If you're looking for high-end, gorgeous Indian food that's packed with flavor, this is definitely the spot. Go hungry!'
Had dinner at Rutba last night with friends & it was excellent! We ordered the chicken biryani, paneer & kofta curries with some naans, plus a cocktail & a beer. Everything was packed with authentic Indian flavors & tasted delicious. The ambiance inside is warm, stylish, & perfect for a night out. A big thanks to Simram for the wonderful service & for surprising us with complimentary gulab jamun, & to Hritik for being so attentive throughout. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for flavorful Indian food in Montreal!

Sorry, we have no pictures. We started eating right away because the food looked so appetizing. We were NOT disappointed. We ordered, Pani Puri, Samosa Chaat, Classic Butter Chicken, Coconut Shrimp Malai, Naan & Gulab Jamun. The ingredients were fresh, everything was delicious. The waitress Sim was very helpful & knowledgeable. We will definitely be back. This is our new favorite spot for Indian food.
Fantastic service & food. We had the boozy mango lassi, it was terrific. We also had the maple butter chicken & the saag chicken, with rosemary naan & paratha & wow. So good. Sim, the waitress was incredibly helpful with the recommendations :)

What a delightful experience, we ordered a punjabi sabji with naan & it was so amazing & so rich flavour. No added colour, not too spicy & what a creamy gravy with soft natural panner, just very much delicious. A must try restaurant for indian food in montreal!
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.
Délicieux plats, nice fresh naan. Really liked the decoration as well. Excellent service. Très bonne atmosphere. We're from here & really enjoyed this restaurant. Merci!!
We had such a good experience at cafe Rutba! We had the soya chaap, paneer lababdar, & garlic naan, which were all delicious. Soya chaap was especially amazing. Great experience, & we will definitely be coming back!
The ras malai tiramisu was too sweet, though. The flavours were great, but it would've been better at 50% less sweet
