We decided to try Rutba in Las Vegas instead of going to Gymkhana that everyone's been raving about--and honestly, we're so glad we did! The food was absolutely delicious. The malai chicken tikka was rich, creamy, and perfectly cooked, and the hara bhara chicken was so good--packed with flavor and something a little different from the usual. The shahi paneer was indulgent and comforting, and the bhindi masala was cooked just right with great seasoning. And the garlic chili naan? Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect pairing with everything we ordered. Overall, such a great dining experience. Definitely worth trying if you're in Vegas and looking for amazing Indian food! read more

The food is pretty good! It was so hot inside however! I asked them to turn the fans on. The staff are so nice! The food had great flavor but some was sour. I'd rate this 5/10. I think they could have done better. read more

Amazing flavors! I tried the samosa chat, butter chicken, and lamb biryani. Wow! So much flavor! Tip: if you need it mild, make sure to ask for "super mild". The "mild" still had a good amount of spicy heat (fine for those of us that enjoy the heat, but still too hot for those that don't enjoy the heat). read more

We visited this place twice first day was awesome and then next day was a bummer ! So not sure if they change chefs or what. Mali kofta and Paneer tika masala was good (not awesome) we also ordered Hari Hari sabhji which was a disaster and dal makhani which was okay. Gobhi Manchurian was worse ! Samosa chat lacked basic chutneys and corriander it was okay. Garlic chilli Naan was good Ambience of this place is good and neat. But not sure if I would recommend eating - worth a try I suppose read more

My family and I decided to try Rutba on our recent trip to Vegas, and overall, it was pretty solid. The restaurant is tucked on the second floor of a little shopping center in Chinatown, which is just a short drive from the main strip. Parking is easy; there's a little garage on the ground level. Anyways, we were immediately seated as a table of four. We came for an early-ish dinner on a weekday, and there were other diners there, too. Good sign. The inside of the restaurant is okay, though a little dark and tacky with the LED lights. I wouldn't recommend coming here for the ambiance or pictures. If you're here, it's just for the food. We ordered the chicken tikka masala (basic, I know, but it's so good), chicken saag, a lamb curry, garlic naan, and regular naan. The first two came with rice. All medium spicy, which was a pleasant level of heat. The naan comes as four pieces per order. In my opinion, the flavors of all the curry dishes were delicious, but I can't exactly testify to their authenticity (seemed pretty authentic to me!). I wouldn't say it's the best Indian food I've had, though. Indeed, the pieces of chicken were a bit too tough for me. Service was good-to-okay. Our waitress kept walking away mid-conversation, haha. The old Indian man who brought out some of our food was so sweet, though! Overall, Rutba was a satisfying dinner, though I wouldn't say anything stood out to me. But still, I'm glad we got to try it! read more

Rutba Indian Kitchen - Traditional Chicken Curry - Indian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Rutba is a great desi eatery if you're visiting from out of town. A bit tough to navigate as they're located on the second floor of a massive strip mall in the Asian district. Plenty of parking. Good service, friendly staff always willing to help and answer questions. The restaurant itself is very clean, and I love that. Definitely hygienic and the decor is really fun to look at also. We frequent this spot for samosa chaat and karak chai (we ask for no masala). The naan is buttery and soft, and the curries are flavorful and not highly oil dense as most desi restaurant food is. The price point is average and on the higher side. I've been charged $3 dollars for a small order of chutney before. -1 star as a tiny condiment should not be charged accordingly. I also have asked for extra chutney on my samosa chaat on two different occasions and it's always seemed to be an issue. Whether I'm getting odd glares, or $3 dollar chutney charges for 10 dollars chaat. Feels a bit illogical to me. Will we be back? Definitely Do I hope they change this? Absolutely All in all 4 stars Cheers to good eats Yelpers xx read more

Rutba Indian Kitchen - Shahi Paneer, Yellow Dal Tadka, Garlic Chili Naan - Indian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Rutba is tucked up top in one of Chinatown's plazas. The restaurant is big and clean modern sleek feel. It wasn't busy when we came mid afternoon for a late lunch. Our server was fast and friendly. The dishes came out fairly quickly. The food was tasty but I was hoping for a little more flavor. The spice level was good. Of course you can always make more or less spicy. Dish size was a decent portion. Overall if you are in the area, check it out. There are Vegan options but you have to ask. Most are located in the vegetarian section. Also if you want rice, you have to order separately, it does not come with your dish. read more

This might be my favorite Indian spot in the city of Vegas. The chicken tiki masala was amazing. The samosas were fresh. I asked for a little bit of heat. It did not disappoint. The dishes were beautiful. The decor was stunning. Everybody was really nice here. I will definitely come back. read more

Interesting location for an Indian Restaurant. I highly suggest parking at the west side of the shopping center, which will take you directly to this restaurant on the second floor. Otherwise, good luck finding parking at the main parking lot or garage parking on the first level. Decor and ambiance of this place is cute. There's TVs at the bar, but they were off. Would be nice if they had sports on the TV, even if they just had the subtitles while we enjoy some Indian music in the background. It was hardly busy on a Saturday night. We ordered the pani puri, lamb rogan josh, chicken korma, butter naan, and cheese naan. I like how their menu includes more offerings than other Indian Places I've gone to. The chicken korma had a good creamy nutty flavor that I like. The lamb rogan josh was a bit on the salty side. The naan was ok in my opinion because I like naan that's still partially doughy and not too cooked. Overall nice place for some good Indian Food. read more

Rutba Indian Kitchen - Menu Jan 2026 - Indian Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

What do you do when it's Valentine's Day and all you're craving is Indian food... but every restaurant seems to be closed right when you're READY TO EAT? For whatever reason, most Indian spots in Las Vegas shut down between 3-5 pm, exactly my prime eating window! Luckily, Rutba Indian Restaurant was open during those off-hours, and wow, are we glad we stopped in. Not only is the décor absolutely stunning, but the food was incredible too. Here's what we enjoyed: Mango Lassi ($5) - Creamy, refreshing yogurt blended with mango. Kingfisher Indian Beer ($7) - Crisp and light, perfect with spicy dishes. Garlic Naan ($5) - Warm, fluffy, and loaded with fresh garlic and cilantro. So good we ordered a second round! Onion Kulcha ($5) - Soft bread infused with savory onions. Absolutely delicious. Samosa Chaat ($9) - Crispy samosas topped with spiced chickpeas, chutney, and yogurt. Bold and spicy, served with mint and tamarind sauces. Chicken Tikka Masala ($18) - Rich, creamy tomato-based curry with perfectly cooked chicken, served with rice. A classic done right. Chana Masala ($16, vegetarian) - Chickpeas simmered in traditional North Indian gravy. Comforting and flavorful. Lamb Rogan Josh ($20) - Tender lamb cooked with aromatic herbs and spices. The restaurant sits in Las Vegas' Chinatown, so parking can be tricky, plan ahead. The décor is modern and striking, making the dining experience feel special. On our visit, the bathrooms were out of order (Feb 14, 2025), which made navigating the outside steps a bit of a challenge. Hopefully that's been fixed since! Bottom line: Wear your baggiest pants and get ready to indulge in LOTS of delicious Indian food. Rutba is a gem, especially if you're hungry during those odd afternoon hours! read more

As two people that love some good spicy Indian food, we were not disappointed!! First off, it's in the infamous sushi nekko parking lot, so heads up, parking is rough. Other than that, very easy to get to location on spring mountain. Restaurant is located on the second floor and when we arrived we're greeted pretty quickly into a modern looking restaurant. It already smelled amazing from the diners enjoying their meals. We were quickly sat, gave a rundown of the menu and given a chance to look over. Soo much to choose from with both meat and vegetarian option. We were famished so we decided to order a few things. The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious packed with flavor and heat. If you are shy on the spicy side, they have an option of mild, medium, hot and extra hot. Since we haven't been there before we ordered hot for all items. In the future, since we like spicy, we would go with the extra hot. Mind you the hot is pretty hot! Player two ordered a vegetarian lentil curry and I ordered the chicken korma. Side of 2 orders of chili garlic gnaan and also chicken biryani. As soon as the food hit the table I was damn near salivating hahaha smelled so good and I was also starving. Needless to say the food didn't last long. The chicken biryani was probably the spiciest of the 3 entrees. At first had a small kick but the lingering spice built over the next bite or 2. The yogurt sauce helped quench the fire. The chicken korma was packed with flavor and a generous portion. The yellow lentil curry had such great flavor and depth I couldn't stop dipping the gnaan in the curry. We will definitely be back here as it's on the top of our list for good Indian cuisine in the city. Great staff, friendly and quick. I would highly recommend this location. read more

We arrived for an early dinner around 5:30pm, the lady saw us after a few minutes, walked past us, did not greet us, just walked us to our table. The place was clean and there was just one other party other than us. We ordered the samosa chaat and Gobi manchurian and some Lassi, nimbu pani. Food arrived promptly. The samosa chaat left a lot to be desired 2/5. The gobi looked like orange chicken and the sauce had similar flavors 2/5. At $16/17 the portion size for Gobi was simply a joke. We ordered chilli garlic naan , onion kulcha and saag paneer for main course. The breads were exceptionally good 5/5. The saag paneer tasted great, except it could use more paneer 4/5. The lassi was decent. They definitely need to improve on the serving staff who were grumpy. read more

My new go to Indian food spot! I definitely recommend the spicy garlic naan, it is so flavorful and spicy. I've visited here twice, once with friends and once with my parents who had never tried Indian food. Everyone loved it, it was actually my parents were so pleasantly surprised with how much they loved all the dishes we shared ( paneer tikka masala, butter chicken, lamb curry). The servers are always so kinds and helpful. I definitely recommend Rutbas to everyone!! read more

Rutba Indian Kitchen is located on the second floor in a group of other restaurants in Chinatown. There is an elevator or you can walk up the steps but be careful because one step is broken. Inside is beautiful, modern looking and very clean. It looks like they have a full bar and on holidays they offer a buffet. Two different people served us who were friendly. We started with the Samosa Chaat and the Pani Puri. The Samosa Chaat is a more chopped up style that I'm not so familiar with but it was tasty. It was less crunchy than I'm used to but still tasty. I also don't come across Pani Puri very often so I had to try them here. They were very crisp, light, and tasty. A little different than the last ones I had but tasty. I thought the Chicken Korma was masterfully prepared and also was a good generous size. The Garlic Chili Naan and the Chana Masala were also delicious and very good. Rutba Indian Kitchen is a very good stop for Indian Cuisine. read more

Charming Indian restaurant with lovely decor, friendly staff, and unpretentious but delicious Indian food. I was in the mood for some authentic, homely Indian food after having fancy food for three days at a conference and other upscale restaurants in Vegas. A quick search on Yelp pointed me to this highly rated Indian eatery. I ordered a beer to get started and then zeroed in on some chili chicken for appetizers and a goat biryani for my entrée. The chili chicken was hot and tasty. Flavor-wise, it was great, but I wish the chicken fritters were coated better with batter before tossing them in that hot chili sauce. But still, they were delicious. The goat biryani tasted straight out of a North Indian restaurant from the 90s in India - I was nostalgic eating it. The meat was tender, the rice was well cooked, and the masala had the right amount of zing and fried onions. I really enjoyed it. Do try this place if you are in the mood for Indian food in Vegas in Chinatown, a few minutes from the Strip by car. read more

Beautiful restaurant with outstanding hospitality. The older gentleman and the young man wearing a turban were both incredibly welcoming, and the service was genuinely excellent. The food was decent but could be more authentic. We were disappointed there weren't any traditional Indian breakfast options like halwa or puri on the weekend. The chai was also very weak and tasted more like hot milk than tea. A few operational details could really improve the experience. Traditional accompaniments like pickles, onions, and papad should be served automatically with the meal instead of guests having to ask for them. The outside of the building could also use some attention. The puddle in the parking lot, the cluttered staircase leading to the entrance, and the mismatched light fixture inside take away from an otherwise beautiful restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and truly appreciated the wonderful hospitality. Rutba has a lot of potential, and we hope to see these improvements on our next visit. read more

Amazing food and service. Been having cravings and my cousin told me how he and his wife been coming here and how they love it. I was greeted and seated right away. The restaurant was a little empty because it was early dinner time, but filled up by the time I was finished and ready to leave. I noticed the beautiful chandeliers and the dining room is beautifully decorated. Ordered a few items and it came out hot and delicious. You can taste the fresh ingredients and it wasn't saturated in salt. I had an amazing time, truly enjoyed my dinner and will definitely be back. read more

The best Indian Restaurant in town! Amazing food and service and the restaurant is very clean.

We love Indian food, buy oh my . The Mango Lassi was thin like whipped cream (should be thick like drinking yogurt), the garlic Naan was thin and hard, the saag paneer was not flavorful (same for saag chicken), 3 of 4 dishes were missing rice, really only the beer was good. Our waiter was nice, but managed to combine the separate checks into one check. read more

Friday evening dinner on Spring Mountain Road. Located on the second floor but if you go up the ramp on the far left you avoid climbing the stairs. Nice artwork displayed with ethnic music playing. The restaurant I chose from Yelp since it said 5 stars. It was not even 1/3 full when we arrived so service was good and the savory dishes came out quickly. Although I ordered medium it was spicier for hubs and I but not for Doc. The mango lassi was perfect, not too sweet. That and the cucumbers in the two orders of salads helped cool down the spice level. Both naans were thin with a nice edge. I made the mistake of ordering chicken tikka masala and butter chicken cuz the sauces were very similar. Tandoori Chicken might have been a better choice. The three different traditional Indian homemade ice creams sounded good but we were too stuffed. read more

Everyone was so very friendly, quick to ensure we had seating, menus and our drinks. The food came out fast, and we ended up doing family style so we could try more dishes. This place is indoor seating only, by they have plenty of tables, so having a large group isn't an issue here. It's very clean, and they clear your place quickly so that you aren't sitting with dirty dishes. If you have the time, check this place out. It may just become your new favorite Indian restaurant read more

My husband and I checked out Rutba Indian Kitchen because it made Yelp's Best of Vegas list, and it absolutely lived up to the hype.

Had a delicious late lunch at Rutba Indian Kitchen! Given the great reviews, we were surprised to find it almost empty inside. We were promptly greeted and seated and the service was excellent. The interior was really nice, well-decorated and nicely maintained. We've been to other Indian restaurants that are a little rundown, but this was up to date decor and very pleasant vibe with nice music too. The vegetable samosa was fresh and hot, quite delicious. It came with both a spicy and a sweet dipping sauce. The onion kulcha bread and the cheese naan were delicious as well. We had the chicken tikka masala as our entree and it was very good, just the taste we were expecting. Couldn't get enough of the flavor and probably ate more rice and bread than I should have, sopping up that yummy sauce!! Overall, a great meal and we will definitely be back! read more

I'd give this more a 3.5 out of 5. Rutba is an Indian restaurant in Chinatown. The space is nice, looks newly renovated and modern. I will start off with the positive and say I did like the pani puri a lot. It's a chilled dish of diced veggies that you put in a kind of cracker cup and add a spicy tangy sauce. It's a fun dish either way great flavors and textures. I went for lunch with my best friend and his fiancé. Service is very slow. There's no sense of urgency. Not a big issue at all just an observation. On to the food, we did the standard butter chicken, malai grilled chicken, paneer korma, and I got malai koftai. We also did biriyani and we did a bunch of different naan. I believe the cook the naan in a traditional oven. I will say it was very average. Didn't stand out as being delicious. All the dishes we got I also think were good but not really good. I wasn't happy with the malai kofta. It's my go to dish. The sauce itself was kind of basic and the meat free balls were not the best. They were very doughy almost like hush puppies. I've had better. Butter chicken was good and the korma was good- they did lack spice IMO. I think it's a welcome addition but I will say my honest opinion is the spot is average at best for Indian food in Vegas but I think it's good and gets the job done. read more

Rutba is definitely in my top list of Indian restaurants in Las Vegas! We ordered the chicken biriyani and malai chicken tikka. The malai chicken tikka was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The chutney it came with paired very well. The chicken biriyani tasted what you would expect: spicy flavor, aromatic, savory. The topped fried onion elevated the dish. Workers confirmed they serve halal. Service was decent. The place has plenty of seating and the ambiance is welcoming. Also good for an intimate dinner. Overall Rutba is worth checking out! read more

Rutba Indian Kitchen is located at Pacific Asian Plaza on Spring Mountain and Decatur. You'll find them on the second floor above Sushi Neko. They recently had their one year anniversary on November 15, 2024. Inside is clean and spacious with beautiful lighting, ample seating, and relaxing music. Menu offers a nice selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian appetizers, rice specialties, traditional breads, entrees for chicken, lamb, goat, and vegetarian, as well as accompaniments such as house salad, masala papad which are deep fried lentil wafers, and mango chutney. Pani Puri ($8) is tasty and very good! It's six delicate crispy shells served with a flavorful concoction of sautéed potatoes and sweet red onions, comes with mint dipping sauce that's delivered in a shot glass to drink afterwards. This street food is very popular in India and so enjoyable! Dal Makhani ($16) is delicious! It has black lentils that's slow-cooked with ginger, garlic, and tomatoes in a blend of spices, served hot with soft and fluffy basmati rice, so good! Mango Lassi ($5) is so yummy and refreshing! It's creamy churned yogurt with a lovely sweetness from mango extracts. For dessert, they have gulab jamun which is milk-based dumplings soaked in aromatic sweet syrup, gajar halwa is grated carrots cooked with milk on low flame, and traditional kulfi ice cream for malai, mango, and pistachio. I had Malai Kulfi ($6) which is very unique and special ice cream from India. It's made from milk powder boiled and has a lovely fragrance of rose petal. Kulfi is topped with chewy candy fruits and is delightful! Also had Indian Chai ($5) served hot. It's aromatic spiced tea unsweetened and brewed with tea leaves and milk, and accompanied with a side of packet sugar to add sweetness. Service from KD and Param is welcoming, attentive, efficient, and pleasant. They're very kind, hospitable, and friendly. read more
