Review Summary

Oorja is widely recognized as a standout destination for Indo Chinese fusion cuisine in Montreal, frequently praised for its innovative menu, flavorful dishes like the majestic chicken, and exceptionally well-crafted, creative cocktails. Most guests appreciate the cozy, lively, and welcoming atmosphere, which is often enhanced by live music and professional, friendly service. While the majority of visitors have stellar experiences, opinions on the service and portion sizes are somewhat mixed. Some patrons find the portions to be on the smaller side for the price, and others have encountered occasional inconsistencies with service speed and order accuracy during busy periods. Despite these isolated critiques, the consensus remains that the restaurant is a hidden gem that delivers a unique and highly enjoyable dining experience worth returning to.

We were on a family trip to Montreal via Quebec City & were heavily craving good Indo Chinese when we found this place. The ambience was amazing. The menu was surprisingly small but the flavours packed in each dish was amazing. Ive not had food this delicious for a very long time & being from Toronto we do have a lot of Indo Chinese places around, but this one tops them all. The staff was super friendly, attentive & polite. The only flaw was, I wished the portion size was bigger but overall & prices a little moderate but overall its a good place. Now everytime im in Montreal this is going to be my must visit.

Ate here late last Sunday nite & was pleasantly surprised. The momos were fantastic & the cocktails were top notch, as well as my mussels served with curry. But this review is not about the food, it's about Dima. He was the absolute hero of our night. Amazing banter, amazing hospitality. Introduced us to some great new drinks, really sold the menu, & took care of us in so many ways. Thank you so much, Dima, from the bottom of my heart. I hope you go far in this life.

Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Repeat & Recommend :Yes Went to Oorja Saturday night party of 3 for my first time. Atmosphere is very chill, the staff was genuinely helpful & friendly & the music was eclectic ranging from Frank Sinatra to country. There is also a terrace outisde in summer as a nice option. The menu isn't extensive which I like, better to do 5 things with careful & expertise than 50 items mediocre. We ordered cocktails to start all were visually & tastewise excellent. We ordered apps to start & went for the lamb spring rolls, Momo chili dumplings, Chicken Lollipops & Duck wings. All were quite good though my standouts were the Lollipops & the spring rolls. On to the mains my party has the Curried mussels, Chili Chicken & Manchurian chicken. We all enjoyed our mains, had trouble finishing them but that was more a result of overindulging in the apps. For the same reason we didn't try any desserts but thats just someting to look forward to next time. Overall I was really looking for anything to assign as a negative but I had no complaints. It's not cheap but it's also not expensive, I think its very fairly priced for the quality & service.

Amazing place to try out indo-chinese food. Fantastic! It was my birthday & they took us in last minute. Had an absolute blast & shout out to the server Alejandro who did an exceptional service. I really enjoyed chicken chilli & chicken lollipops plus the hakka noodles were bomb. Thank you for making my day!✨

Not bad & amazing cocktails & service. I do find the dishes are quite fashion & interesting mixes of flavors from Asia (dumpling shad curry in them for example), however I'm not sure if it was enough for a second trip back.

I loved my night out with the fam. The food was delicious, the staff was AMAZING, cocktails were the best I've had in awhile- highly recommend their passionfruit cocktail, & the red bean dessert was incredible! My favourite part was all the hidden little birds throughout the restaurant... there is a special prize if anyone that finds all of them. Made for a great night!
