Horrible! The end!…read more No really Singh's needs a new chef because nothing my hubby ordered me for dinner was edible. The chicken tikka masala was beyond sweet. It tasted like they made vodka sauce with extra cream and the. added the huge boiled chicken pieces to the sauce. The pakoras were heavily salted on the outside and extremely spicy on the inside. The garlic naan was just naan. No garlic. No flavor whatsoever. After trying all of the previous items I bypassed the samosas. He was not happy with the meal and we ended up tossing it out.

The food here is comme ci, comme ça--decent but forgettable, nothing really stands out.read more

Food - I fell for the 4.8 stars on Google only to realise the food is mediocre. We had two combos…read moreand the thali had "dat Ruth's" which was dal makhani with no salt! Now tbf I did mention mild to medium so maybe that's why!? Other things on the plate was baingan (ok-ish), naan (the best on the plate) paneer( one of the good things on the plate) and raw malai (again watery) with samosa (which I felt was refried so many times that it turned super crisp and dark) Service - average - nothing extraordinary! Ambience - def a plus one for this!

I stopped by Rutba later on a Thursday evening by myself, and the place was buzzing with…read morepeople--definitely a popular local spot, which I had read about in a little tourist pamphlet. There's outdoor seating available in the summer, which added a nice vibe. One thing I really appreciated was their combo option that lets you sample a little bit of everything. That's always a win for me! The food overall was decent--not bad at all, but nothing that totally wowed me either. The service was friendly for the most part, though a little slow. One server was super responsive, but another didn't seem too sure about the menu. I asked what "soya chaap" was (listed under Unique Finds), and she just said "soya chaap" back to me... which didn't really clear anything up. Not rude, just kind of unhelpful. One thing to flag: the menu online doesn't match what they actually have in person, so don't get your heart set on a specific dish before going. I had a plan in mind, but it wasn't available when I got there. All in all, Café Rutba is worth checking out if you are close to the area and interested in Indian food.

My wife and I were craving some Indian food while visiting Montreal and we saw Veranda had really…read moregood reviews so we wanted to try it! It's towards the top of Old Montreal so we had a nice walk to and from the restaurant. We were greeted by the host and sat down immediately. The restaurant inside was very pretty and had low lighting to make it look very intimate. I'd definitely consider Veranda a fine-dining Indian restaurant. We ordered the samosa tarts and malai chicken tikka from the appetizers and both were absolutely delicious! We also ordered mango lassi, butter chicken, and garlic naan (all automatic orders for us when we go to Indian restaurants) and none of them disappointed. However, we were a little disappointed that they didn't have a few menu items that we see back home or at other Indian restaurants like onion bhaji, pakora, biryani and tandoori chicken. The only complaint we had was the service wasn't that great. Our order was taken a few minutes after viewing the menu and the staff was very friendly but after we finished our appetizers, we felt neglected as other tables were served their food and we were waiting 25-30 minutes to get served our main dish. We had to let the server know that we were done our appetizers and ready for the main dish. I'm not sure if this is normal in Montreal or at Indian restaurants in Montreal? Other restaurants we were served our courses immediately one after the other, with maybe 5-10 minutes in between. It wasn't busy either for a Wednesday night where they only had 3-4 tables. Regardless, we would recommend Veranda to anyone craving Indian food who wants to eat in Old Montreal! The food is delicious!

We were in Montreal and craving some Indian cuisine when this place showed up in our search. The…read morepatio is quite cozy and nice, while the interiors give off a classic, old-school Indian restaurant vibe. We were served by Shaurya, and the entire dining experience was fantastic because of him. He was extremely warm, made us feel at ease, and gave some great suggestions for the main course. The food quality was top-notch in terms of texture, taste, and aroma. I just wish the quantity was a bit more, but that might be because we were super hungry! I didn't manage to click photos of everything we ordered, but I would highly recommend the Palak Methi Corn, Paneer Lababdar, and Pan Kulfi. Their butter naan and garlic naan were excellent too. The food reminded me of the flavors you get back home in India. I would definitely return to try more dishes!

We must have come during a time that was not so busy as it was very easy for us to be seated. The dining room is beautiful, with white table clothes at each table, and great service to match. Since my stepsister is vegetarian, we all ordered a variety of vegetarian appetizers and entrées to share, as well as a few cocktails and glass of wine. I thought the garlic tandoori naan pretty good, but I REALLY enjoyed the yellow dahl tarka I ordered, as well as the samosas, and all the chutneys and sauces. The servings sizes are generous but not too much. We also had the paneer masala which was great. No complaints and I can't wait to return!

They have quite a bit of variety on the menu and it was difficult to choose but I finally decided on the sampler platter and my mom ordered a dish with black chickpeas. The black chickpeas are typically spicy but they toned it down for her and it was perfect. My sampler had six small dishes and a dessert with rice in the middle. Every dish was better than the last and the dessert was perfect, not too heavy. The service was very attentive, friendly. The restaurant seems very clean and had a cozy and comfortable ambience. I'm no longer in Montreal, I will return here when I am back and I have already told my Montreal friends they must try this place.
