Oorja Montreal Restaurant: Menu, Reviews & Reserve (2026)
IndianChineseGrillBrunchResto-Bar
Through Oorja, we aim to create a restaurant inspired by the flavors of Hakka, primarily Indo Chinese cuisine, where the emphasis is placed on fresh ingredients and great service. We take pride in the food that we create, and it is our ambition to bring this vibrant and culturally rich cuisine to Montreal. As both a restaurant and a cocktail bar, our objective is to shape a fun and dynamic environment centered around a unique culinary experience. Our team will create dishes and cocktails made from quality seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers. Indo Chinese cuisine is surprisingly absent from Montreal, and we believe that its vibrance and imaginativeness will be very well received.

Overall, reviews of Oorja describe a vibrant Indo Chinese fusion spot with inventive cocktails, playful tapas style dishes, and a warm, stylish ambiance that can range from relaxed lunch vibes to lively evenings with live music. The food frequently earns praise for bold flavors and presentation, with favorites including momos, chicken lollipops, chilli chicken, duck wings and other tapas style plates, while some diners note portions can be small for the price and spice levels may be very high.

Delicious food, quality was good. Paneer chilli had that spicy tangy taste loved it. Veg Manchurian was spicy & tasty. But not satisfied with the quantity for the amount we pay. Especially the appetizer just had five small fried momos, also would appreciate more fried rice & noddles.
Service was good.

Amazing food. The starters (Lamb spring rolls, Fried Momos, Manchow Soup) were really well made, especially the dips & the chutneys. Plating was superb. Tried the Chicken Manchurian with fried rice. The gravy was so close to indo chinese but the chicken was not as succulent & tender. Waiting staff were quick & delight to interact with. Everything was served really fast. Restaurant was a bit smaller & seating was not very comfortable as the tables are laid out very close to each other. Lighting was a little dim so could not read the menu. But overall a very nice ambience & is on the rustic side & the place was packed with people.

My friends & I were really excited to try out this new spot but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations.

Although the drinks were good & so were some of the appetizers (lamb spring rolls & duck wings) - the mains were not very good.

They have the same sauce for several plates, & to be honest it's seems like it's store bought or something. Two of us at the table had fried rice & it tasted funny, almost freezer burnt.

The servers were very kind an attentive & they even took one of the dishes off the bill because we weren't satisfied with it.

I won't be returning, but hope that as this restaurant grows, the food will improve!
