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.

Expérience décevante, cocktail long a recevoir reçu plus de 10-15 minutes après les 2 entrées, goût répétitif, nous avons commandé au total 5 plats (2 entrée & 3 plats (pour 2 pers)) & 3 semblait avoir la même base de sauce très relevée, service long pour un mercredi & resto à moitié plein, autre déception nous avons pris du vins au verre sans demander le prix, (il n’y a pas de carte des vins), le vin proposé était à 29,50$ le verre qui n’était pas généreux, donc pour 4 verres 118$… Points positifs, belle ambiance, décor apaisant. Bref, facture de 274$.

L'ambiance est bonne mais les plats principaux étaient beaucoup trop épicés & même si nous adorons la cuisine épicée, aucune des 5 personnes n'a réussi à manger son plat avec plaisir. Nous avions pourtant dit au serveur de faire attention aux épices mais le cuisinier ne semble pas avoir reçu le message. je ne pense pas que nous y retournerons

Very good food. Would be good if they had a few more main options that were not so spicy. & a written wine list would be helpful.

Amazing food. The starters (Lamb spring rolls, Fried Momos, Manchow Soup) were really well made, especially the dips & the chutneys. Plating was superb. Tried the Chicken Manchurian with fried rice. The gravy was so close to indo chinese but the chicken was not as succulent & tender. Waiting staff were quick & delight to interact with. Everything was served really fast. Restaurant was a bit smaller & seating was not very comfortable as the tables are laid out very close to each other. Lighting was a little dim so could not read the menu. But overall a very nice ambience & is on the rustic side & the place was packed with people.

La nourriture est bonne. Par contre, le service est très lent, le serveur ne parlait qu’anglais alors que nous sommes à Montréal… Local très bruyant. Pas certaine d’y retourner.

Some of the most flavourful food I've ever tasted! Can't wait to try more dishes.

Sauces très sucrées. Le plat de porc étaient bon mais trempait dans le gras.
& surtout très surpris que sur les 2 terminaux de paiement, on nous présente un pourboire de 18, 20 & 22% & que sur les 2 terminaux si on voulait changer cela le bouton ne fonctionnait pas. Le service était bien mais valait 15%.

Tout était parfait. Le seul bémol, un verre de vin à presque 20$, faut pas exagérer.

Belle découverte! Besu restaurant, grandeur parfaite avec une décoration que j'ai adorée! Les grosses lampes suspendues, les murs en ciment, le mélange de matériau, tout y est!! Bonne ambiance & service discret & attentionné!! Les rouleaux à l'agneau étaient très bons, meilleurs que les dumplings au poulet dont la texture était un peu trop pâteuse! Portion généreuse pour le plat principal, porc braisé correct, sans plus! J'aurais aimé plus d'explications au niveau des vins puisqu'il n'y a pas de carte des vins! Bonne idée le concept de dégustation avant de choisir le vin! Belle surprise pour ce quartier!
