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.

They were low staff which I understand. Appetizers were good. However the menu for main dish is limited. Noodles were burnt. Four out of five were not satisfied. We won't go back.

Great food & excellent drinks! The restaurant was fairly quiet at lunch on a Friday, but our group of 6 enjoyed ourselves.

Food tasted great. A good balance of sweet, sour & hotness. Some didn't taste like it should (Manchow soup for example, is more like tomato soup rather than manchow), but still good nevertheless. Well maintained, cozy place with good ambiance. Price is on a higher side for the portion they serve & the service. I'd recommend taking your friends or family once, for a nice dinner on a cold day.

Very good food. Chicken dish with fried rice was only slightly too sweet for my tastes but was too ultra hot spicy. Perhaps reduce a bit? Braised pork very tasty but too much fatty pieces. Chicken dumpling were delicious.

Food was good but way too overpriced, given the portion sizes

We had dinner here on a Wednesday with some friends, the menu is very limited & most of our table was vegetarian, we had: Paneer Manchurian w fried rice - very good, probably the best thing we ordered Chili Paneer, Chili Momos, Baby corn - all came with the same sauce, sweet & spicy very similar to General Tao sauce. It was fine but got a little boring having the same sauce with multiple things Fried Vegan Momos - good but nothing to write home about. Hakka noodles - a little over cooked, not so flavorful Fried rice - quite good, I'd recommend over the noodles. For the (very high) price, this place is not one I'd recommend. Maybe the bartender is different on a Wednesday but the $18 cocktails tasted like juice & the cheapest glass of wine was also $18.

Music was a bit loud which, with the accompanying sounds of conversation from tables besides us, was a bit distracting.

However, we had incredible service & food! The restaurant lives up to the hype & I will definitely be coming back.

Our table was near the window in a bit of a corner nearest the entrance door & my dinner companion found herself a bit cold at times.
