Rutba est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour la cuisine indienne à Montréal, proposant un menu riche en plats authentiques et savoureux tels que le poulet au beurre, le lamb rogan josh et diverses spécialités au paneer. Les clients apprécient régulièrement l'ambiance chaleureuse et esthétique, rehaussée par un décor élégant, un éclairage doux et une musique live agréable. Bien que les expériences concernant la taille des portions et le niveau d'épices puissent varier, l'hospitalité reste un point fort constant, de nombreux visiteurs soulignant le service attentionné, accueillant et serviable du personnel. Le restaurant est fréquemment recommandé pour ses prix raisonnables, ses options de menu créatives et son cadre invitant, ce qui en fait un choix populaire tant pour les dîners décontractés que pour les célébrations spéciales.
We were charged $45 per person, but the menu options were very limited across appetizers, main course, & dessert. There was no à la carte menu available either.
The appetizer portion was extremely small, although the taste was good. For the main course, there was only one chicken option. I requested my butter chicken to be spicy, but it came out quite sweet instead, which I genuinely didn't enjoy. The main course overall was not up to the mark.
On a positive note, the dessert was excellent & definitely the highlight of the meal.
Wasted $100 on valentines over the food we didn't like!
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. ❤?

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!
The Hidden 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.
