Oorja serves a distinct culinary fusion that bridges traditional Indian spices with vibrant Chinese cooking techniques. Patrons encounter a robust menu featuring clay oven delicacies alongside wok-fired specialties that highlight bold flavors and fresh ingredients. The kitchen emphasizes high-heat preparation methods, resulting in aromatic curries and savory noodle dishes that define its unique grill-based profile. Each plate maintains a balance between the heat of classic tandoori preparations and the distinct umami profile inherent in regional Asian stir-fries. This establishment operates as a functional hub for those seeking diverse flavor profiles in a singular setting. Consistent seasoning and authentic spice blends serve as the primary focus, ensuring that every dish meets precise standards of preparation. The setting remains focused on efficient service while providing a comprehensive selection of fusion-oriented main courses and appetizers for interested guests.
Oorja is widely recognized as a hidden gem offering an innovative Indo-Chinese fusion menu that many diners find delicious and unique. The restaurant is frequently praised for its cozy, vibrant atmosphere and expertly crafted, seasonally rotating cocktail selection. While many guests describe the service as warm, professional, and welcoming, experiences are inconsistent, with some visitors reporting long wait times, disorganized meal pacing, and issues with portion sizes. Despite occasional feedback regarding spicy intensity levels or menu availability, the majority of patrons highly recommend the establishment for its flavorful tapas-style dishes and overall high-quality dining experience.
Kind patient service, delicious food, communication & nice environment. I feel the higher price for the meal is justified as it does taste premium with servers to match. I definitely would come again.
I had the lamb spring roll which tastes fine with delicious sauces but wouldn't recommend. It is much too hard & not as tasty as all other food that was great.
It would have been nice to have A/C in the place instead of the loud fan, but perhaps I'm being too particular at this point. Either way, love this place.
This place is outstanding. Visiting from Boston. May have converted my husband & sister to Indian food. The tikka (can't remember the rest of the name-it was a vegetarian small plate) was scrumptious. Biryana was wonderful as well. The hostess was so warm & lovely. Highly recommend.
SUCH WASTE OF MONEY
First of all nobody answers the call , i have called many times nobody respond. On the top of that, we ordered from ubereats Chicken lolipop & schezwan noodles but what we recieved we didnt expected.
Last time we ordered Chicken lolipop we recieved 6 pieces but now it was only 4 pieces with very minimal meat on it & with such sweetness, what are we gonna eat when there is no meat on it. I dont know what did they thought while sending it.
Talking about the noodles very very less quantity, taste was okay but quantity didnt match the price at all.
On the top, they provide you food in a paperbox with no butterpaper on the bottom, boxes got so oily until it reached us. We dont even want to eat it as now its giving a smell like paper.
I highly dont recommend this place.

Always impressed by their menu & drinks that change seasonally! Their indochinese cuisine is truly a first in the city & the staff is welcoming & professional, highly recommend.
Visiting Montreal & a colleague brought me here . Great cocktails & I had the super spicy fish Apollo & fried rice ...best meal I've had in a while. Highly recommend
Terrible service.
We booked a table for 8, arrived but there was no staff?? We had to wait 10mn before someone showed up to show our seats!?
We got the first 2 plates after 45mn, then 10mn later 2 others & so on. So we each had to eat alone while others waited, otherwise it would have turned cold.
No excuse, no explanation, nothing.
Food was nice, but a lot of dishes indicated one out of three for spiciness, when it was really really spicy. Then another plate that was 3 out of 3, was spicy, but not much more. It would be nice to follow the spiciness menu indications.
Also, we had two kids (toddlers), they got their meal after 4 adults at our table. They were starving after more than an hour of wait.
Then, a table of four arrived (1h after us), & got their plate before our last ones. Felt like a joke.
Music was way too loud, we asked to lower it a bit, but it was not enough.
Solid experience! I came twice, once with family & once with friends. For appetizers, we had the duck broth & manchow broth. From the brunch menu, we had the mushroom toast (scrumptious), mango toast (delish), keema pav (flavourful) & both the spicy crispy chicken & braised pork bao bun sandwiches. Had the chicken momos from the lunch menu. Lovely presentation & delicious taste. Would recommend & can't wait to try the other menu items! Not too busy on Sunday morning/noontime. Nice waiter!
