So much hype but not authentic or tasty Its very normal taste so much sugar in gravy made not tasty curry. Dont go and wait in line. Not worth it. If you like too much sugar in veggies then ita your place.

Reviews / Ratings for Rutba - Indian Cuisine
food was tasty,service was great and the singer was singing very good with great choices of songs.
Went to this place, the food was really tasty. We ordered dal and paneer and both of them very really yummy and perfect. Next time will visit for sure.
The ambiance is quite nice especially with the open air concept. The service was really good, the waitress was very patient and helped us out. The food was where is it gets a bit muddy. The portion was quite small in my opinion. We got the butter chicken and the $50 meal for two and the portion size was diabolically small (the $50 plate is left in the photo + naan) There was also barely any chicken in both curries. The chicken tikka masala was fine taste wise. I did enjoy the samosa and butter chicken but everything else was just fine.
📍 Rutba, Montreal | The ultimate Indian food craving solved! 🌟 Safe to say this is one of the best Indian dining spots in the city. Here is what you need to order: 🔹 Baingan Bharta: Pure comfort food. Gentle, home-like, but elevates traditional flavors to the next level. 🔹 The Breads: The lachha paratha is beautifully flaky, and the rotis are light and fresh. 🔹 Tandoori Pomfret & Pineapple Starter: Smokey, succulent, and perfectly charred. The tandoor skills here are unmatched. A 10/10 Montreal food guide recommendation! 🗺️✨ #MontrealEats #MontrealFoodie #IndianCuisine #Tandoori #MontrealRestaurants #FoodReview
The restaurant's ambiance is the best...no literally, the decor and the vibe is the best part of this restaurant. Food, not so much. We ordered some appetizer lasooni murg which was sold out and the server offered a replacement bhatti murg which was great but very flat because it had a lot of cream. We wanted to stay in the medium spice range since there are more flavors other than spice. We did however order the laal maas that was extremely spicy. I asked for it to be medium spicy and it really wasn't. Spiciest thing I ever ate. My stomach hurt for 2 days after. With no reward, all the food lacked salt, tartness and general cohesiveness. The server told us she would make the dish on the house if we didn't like it but proceeded to explain to me how i was wrong about the laal maas and bhatti murg. I asked for lime to cut the spice which seems to have saved the day. I understand when you have huge volumes but it was rather unbusy. However it was end of day and everyone could've been exhausted from a long day but I see no reason to revisit. I really didn't want to write this review since all other reviews from everyone seem to be so great, but this was my one off odd experience! Update: the server got the order wrong and thats why we had the raita. We ordered the onion salad. We raised it immediately when she brought us the food. Yes the raita was on the house and I forgot to add it. We also asked for plain roti and got butter roti. Also, yes this was my honest experience.
Extremely rude service. Not planning to come here again. Also there are better indian restaurants in Montreal.
Must try Banarsi Cutlet, mango lassi and dal makhni. The customer service was amazing and you can get food recommendations from them as well. Highly recommended.
Not worth 4.8/5 for sure. Average Indian fare. Service was ok, nothing great. Too pricey for the quantity offered. Reviews do not look genuine at all vis a vis the real experience offered.
Stick with Garlic Naan, latcha Parantha's were a let down
Amazing customer service by Surbhi. She was really helpful in guiding for good food options at this restaurant and places to visit around as this is my first time in this beautiful city.
Great food and service. Had the best soya chaap, highly recommend. Bengali fish curry was tasty and light. Special shoutout to Ash, our server who was attentive and friendly.
The food was great, and we particularly enjoyed the live music! It was a welcome addition to our simply lovely meal. The location of the restaurant was very lively as well.

Wonderful food! Must try the bokchoy and the cauliflower appetizers! Great live music.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant, and a big part of that was thanks to our servers Sam and Ash. Both of them provided excellent service and were very kind and attentive throughout our visit. Sam went the extra mile by taking photos for us, which made the experience feel extra special. Ash was also very good and made sure everything was taken care of smoothly. Their friendliness and effort really stood out. Thank you both for such great hospitality—I’ll definitely be coming back!
It was an amazing experience, positivity. We were served by Ash, she was amazing with her service. Food was great… highly recommended 👍👍👍👍
A perfect blend of flavors, ambiance, and hospitality ✨ The vibe of this place was absolutely beautiful — warm lighting, elegant interiors, and such a relaxing atmosphere. Every dish looked aesthetic and tasted even better than it looked. 🌿🍛 What made the experience even more memorable was the amazing service by Ash and Sam. They were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and made us feel genuinely taken care of throughout the evening. Great food, great energy, and great people — definitely a place worth coming back to. 🤍
I love this restaurant, it’s my go to! I love their appetizers. Today, Ash was serving our table. Great service and lovely vibes.
