Had really high expectations but unfortunately this place is just alright nice place nice people but it kind of felt like watered down Indian food for white people I mean it was ok but where was the vodka in my martini & the butter chicken tasted like it had more sugar than spice not bad but not good eithe
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..
The Hidden Gem!!
