© Best quests Located in the heart of Boulevard Saint-Laurent in Montreal, Rutba – Indian Cuisine stands out as a true gem of Indian gastronomy. This restaurant offers an authentic culinary experience, blending tradition and innovation in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
From the moment you step in, Rutba captivates you with its welcoming atmosphere. The décor skillfully blends traditional Indian elements with a contemporary touch. Soft lighting and mirrors create an intimate ambiance. In contrast, a large mural depicts a young Indian woman enjoying a cocktail. The bar, which takes up a significant part of the space, offers a selection of about ten cocktails. Near the entrance, a small stage occasionally hosts a singer performing soothing Indian melodies.

The Butter Chicken with burrata is a true revelation among the main courses. The rich, flavorful sauce is elevated by an additional burrata, bringing a creamy smoothness that perfectly balances the spices. Other Canadian-inspired innovations complement the menu, including the naan bagel with cream cheese and the maple butter chicken infused with maple syrup. Tradition is also well represented with classic tandoori chicken and biryanis, along with various vegetarian curry dishes.
