About

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.

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.

Loved the place. Loved their food. The perfect indo Chinese cuisine that I have been looking for! I had the cocktail (Forty Birds or fifty? Forgot the exact name) it was a little too sour, so go for it if you like this taste. Place is a little smaller & it is hard to bring in a big gang. Service was very good. Will definitely recommend this place to all my friends

Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant du tout. J'ai découvert ce restaurant suite à plusieurs bonnes reviews sur Instagram par des influenceurs. Franchement, c'était jour & nuit versus ce que nous avons reçu. 1. Les dumplings étaient plutôt une soupe (voir la photo). Ils n'étaient aussi pas cuit de façon uniforme. 2. Le porc braisé comptait plus de pièces de gras, que de porc. Un goût d'épices brûlées assez omniprésent dans tout le porc braisé! Les juliennes étaient mal coupés, comme si c'était la première fois que quelqu'un faisait des juliennes. 3. Le service était lent. 30min d'attente avant de recevoir quoique ce soit, alors que le restaurant n'était pas plein. 2/5

Vous devez vous occuper d'avoir une carte des vins & expliquer votre menu au client. Lorsque vous êtes trois à servir & que deux jasent entre eux au lieu de nous servir & oubli nos boissons, nous trouvons que c'est un manque à notre égard .

Mauvaise expérience! Le serveur s'est trompé 2 fois sur le prix d'un vin (btl) & il en a résulté que nous avons dû payer pour 2 verres à $22/ch!! Vraiment pas dans notre budget!! Mon conjoint a demandé combien approximativement il y avait de moules pour son repas & le serveur lui a dit euhhh entre 15-20... il y en avait 8 dont 2 minuscules!! Je lui ai demandé si 2 piments 🌶️ 🌶️ c'est très fort & il m'a répondu moyen mais je vais demander qu'ils ajustent en conséquence ... je n'ai pratiquement rien mangé car c'était vraiment trop piquant !
Le serveur n'est jamais revenu nous voir ( il devait être gêné de toutes ses erreurs) , personne ne nous a demandé si notre repas était à notre goût, & notre serveur ne nous a même pas salué à notre départ...
Très ordinaire malheureusement:(

Good place, worth trying. Pros: -Flavourful plates. The lamb spring rolls & the dumplings were delicious. Notes: -There's more cocktails options than main dishes -Most main dishes are spicy, even after asking to reduce the strength at the order.

Food was excellent- but way too spicy for myself & two guests. It was not 2 star spicey- more like 4 star. Not sure I will return because menu options for mains at one star not present on menu.
Third time eating at your establishment & want to support local businesses- but please consider older clientele who may not digest spices at same intensity as your chef prepares them.
