We got lamb cutlets to start and for the mains we ordered the pepper crab, fried fish, lamb rendang and the goat biryani. Ordered with chapathi and rice. All dishes were nice. I think the fish and the gravy for the pepper crab were the stars of the night. Definitely a nice night out with some friends.

This evening ( 31 August 2025), we ordered a dosa and egg muppas ( entree) for our dinner. To our surprise, the muppas were served within no time, while the dosa was served well after 25 to 30 minutes!! For any Indian foodie, this would immediately raise suspicion about the food, as the dosa should not take any time to prepare, while the other than takes some time to cook. Anyway, when I tasted the eggs on the entree, the yoke was very cold and the bread served with the entree was also just lukewarm. When I questioned the waiter, why the yolk is so cold, she did not answer the question and was trying to persuade it is ok. Upon further pushback, the waiter said, this food was served in the afternoon buffet and we just used the leftover food!! They serve recycled food and expect the customer to pay the full price and they do not want to even hide that!! So if you choose to visit this restaurant, make sure you get the fresh food.

A lot of the old paintings/logo from Kothu Rotti are still there. I haven't been in here since pre covid but I think for the most part it looks the same inside. They didn't have the front buffets filled with food like they have had in the past. The chef came out and we had a chat about what was available and what was what. I ended up getting a small portion of the Bombay style dum biryani. The small portion is a medium size takeout container vs the large ones. It was around $12 and if you upgraded to the large (which is about double the size) it would have been $15. I waited a few minutes and I had my meal bagged and I then went home to try it out. I opened the container and it was packed pretty well in there. It smelled good and looked pretty good. I had a few bites and that was a good start to the meal. I dug in a bit and got a piece of the chicken to have a bite. That was alright. I may try to the chicken tikka next. Not a bad meal for $12 and a lot of food. 3.5 stars

There are so many Indian restaurants on Rideau heading towards Montreal but I think Mukut is the…read morebest one of these. I think they make the best samosas I've had. Last time I was here I ordered a madras chicken, samosas, rice and naan. The madras chicken isn't like the other types i've had, none of the other ones had any sort of veggie in it but Mukut's does. It also had a lovely flavor. The samosas are a bit greasy but absolutely delicious, they come with a sauce I cant put my finger on. Only complaint is that it was definitely expensive. We ordered 2 orders of samosas, 2 chicken dishes, rice and drinks and it came to $60 dollars after a tip.

Ordered through Skip the Dishes. Probably won't order again…read more Got a meal for one which came with samosas, chicken bhoona, palao rice, vegetable curry, gulab jamun and I got naan and a mango lassi as well. Chicken bhoona not at all saucy, very thin and rather bland. Has chunks of nearly raw tomato in it. The chicken didn't seem like it was cooked with the sauce for long nor was it pre-seasoned or cooked in a tandoor. Vegetable curry also bland and made with what seems to be a frozen pea/carrot mix, green beans, potato and onion. Who puts green beans in a curry? Rice is good, but it's rice. It's hard to mess that up. Naan is not freshly made and seems to be store bought and then toasted. Too doughy. The lassi was alright but I've had better. The samosas were really really good. Crispy pastry, well seasoned potatoes and pea filling. The gulab jamun doesn't taste homemade either. It tastes like a timbit soaked in syrup. Doesn't have the same pancakey texture as homemade gulab jamun

I have to admit I am not a huge Indian food fan and we usually go with another couple who loves Indian food and let them order. Since we were on our own we tried different dishes. Had the fried fish appetizer (which I can't remember the name of) which was really good! The tandoori seemed a bit strong but when you had it when sauce it's out of this world! Ordered the tandoori chicken and was blown away by the presentation of the chicken. I am a big fan of crispy chicken skin but was amazed at the smoked flavor, crispness of the outside of the skinless chicken and then the tenderness of the chicken.

What I got was the Butter Chicken Meal; it's a combo of butter chicken (half portion), rice, assorted vegetables, and naan. The total online came to $26.00 before taxes. I'd say this is reasonably priced for its pretty substantial portion size (butter chicken has that effect), but my frugal side would've hoped to see it a bit lower. The dish was good, and I'd say it's better than most other Indian restaurants I've been to. The naan was enough to dip through the curry, which itself was worth it. I enjoyed the sides. Very good for takeout. If I'm in the area again, I'll consider going here to dine in.
