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.

Review Summary

Oorja is widely praised for its Indo-Chinese fusion tapas, inventive cocktails, and a warm, stylish vibe that makes it a popular neighborhood spot. The flavors are often described as bold and delicious, with standout items like ghee garlic shrimp, momo dumplings, and spicy chicken dishes, though some guests note the spice can be very strong and portions can feel small for the price. Service is a mixed bag across visits, ranging from friendly, attentive moments to slower service with missed requests and longer gaps between courses. Overall, the restaurant is celebrated for its innovative menu and welcoming atmosphere, with guests eager to return to try more dishes and cocktails.

This is such a nice place to come have a drink &/or eat. The food is delicious. Indo-chinese fusion with immaculate flavours in each dish. Not only that the food is amazing, so are the cocktails. There is a large range of alcohol & tasty beverages. It is not too expensive & it’s a cozy place to come either with your friends or with a date. The ambiance makes it really nice, the staff are super friendly & comprehensive. I would 100% recommend

Overall, Oorja was a good place for a great cocktail & shareable entrees. The place was nicely designed, & the atmosphere was good to have a nice chat with friends. The cocktails were all delicious & definitely different. We had a few entrees to share, & my favorites were the duck wings & lamb spring rolls. I would recommend them for sure!! The main dishes were a little more disappointing. My braised pork was a little tough on some bites, & the white rice was either mushy & not cooked on some parts. The paneer chili was quite tasty & an original take on sweet chili sauce dish. The chicken chili was very similar to what you would get in a Chinese restaurant but with a higher price tag. In the end, I would recommend that if you are looking for good cocktails & tasty entrees.

Hi, we came to celebrate my father in law's birthday. First of, the restaurant looks amazing. Better AC would be a plus. The service was slow & none of the staff smiled the whole time we were there. We came with kids & I wouldn't recommend it to families. The crowd is more adult with a focus on delicious cocktails. We did not received all the food we had ordered. The server offered complimentary desserts.

I like the concept of the restaurant, the food is new & different, but the service was not up to our expectations. A warm smile & welcoming vibe goes a long way.
