Rutba - Modern Indian Restaurant + Bar | Authentic Flavors & Cozy Ambience in Niagara Falls

We went to Rutba for dinner and tried a variety of dishes. The makhni shorba was absolutely top-notch . The hara bhara kebab was slightly over-fried, making it a bit firm, but it still tasted good. The crispy corn, however, was very dry and hard to chew — definitely could have been better. We also ordered malai chaap, which was perfectly marinated and cooked — honestly the first time I’ve tasted it done so well. Since we wanted something less spicy, the host went above and beyond and served us paneer butter masala even though it wasn’t on the menu. Truly appreciated that gesture! We wrapped up with dessert, which was delicious as well. Overall, the food quality was excellent with no compromises — portions were a little on the smaller side and the pricing leans towards the expensive side, just saying .

I ate here with my family on Thursday. The food is warm and has a lot of flavor! The service was good and both of the workers were kind and hospitable. My favorite part was the decoration. The ring lights with all the hanging leaves and the plants all over made the whole restaurant feel cozy!!! My only critique was the wait; it took a little while for the food to arrive, but it’s understandable as this is a new restaurant and the taste of the food made up for it :) would definitely recommend!!!

Best Indian food we have ever had. As travelers near and far, we were pleasantly surprised to come across this jewel of a restaurant! Food = amazing! I will be talking about it for a long time. Atmosphere = romantic and classy Service = nothing but first class! So sad we don't live here!

I was visiting from New Jersey for just one day, and this place immediately caught my eye with its menu and inviting food photos. Based on that alone, I decided to give it a try — and I’m so glad I did. The food did not disappoint at all. Every dish was full of flavor, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. You can really taste the quality and effort that goes into their cooking. The only downside was the wait time after placing my order — it took about 15–20 minutes before the food arrived. But considering how fresh and delicious everything tasted, it felt worth the wait. Overall, I’m really impressed with this spot. It definitely lived up to the expectations I had from the menu and photos. I’d happily come back again on my next visit!

I remember first reading the reviews on here and not understanding how a new-ish restaurant can get so many reviews in a day! I completely understand after my dinner there last night. I can’t remember the last time I had such a wonderful dining experience, from start to finish! The restaurant itself is beautiful. The music is awesome and the ambience is perfect for a fun night out with friends or a romantic dinner. We ordered as much as we could eat and every bite was delightful. The bartender is seriously talented and our server, Gungun, was just awesome. Can’t wait to go back! I’m hoping they add a tasting menu someday because there are just too many yummy options to decide!

Excellent food great service and music taking my party back to our college days with an unexpected remix. My kids loved the pastas and the Indian food was so good, not a crumb was left by anyone. The mocktails and lassi are savory and the dry ice smoke shows they put on for you amazed everybody. Definitely will come again!
