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.

This establishment operates as a functional hub for those seeking diverse flavor profiles in a singular setting.

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.

The food is really very close to the Indo-Chinese Hakka cuisine. But I can imagine it might be a little too spicy for some people. So just ask before you order. Ordered one cocktail & it was well made. Would love to see cauliflower lollipop for vegetarians.

The restaurant staff & food were all excellent. My only comment is that the place is quite noisy due to the high ceilings & proximity of the tabels. We will definately go back for more!

Service was perfection. Food was..... the most exciting meal of my year! Was an circus of flavours in my mouth. Amazing!

My only negative comment is that they brought my dumplings & manchurian chicken at the same time. Would have preferred one at a time. Otherwise it was the perfect evening! Bravo guys!

We really enjoyed out evening!
Only remark, if cocktail prices were a bit less steep, we would've ordered a second round. Also, some dishes portions were on the tiny side. Ex: mussels/rice, pork. Overall excellent!

I truly enjoyed my experience at the restaurant, the service was exceptional, the cocktails were amazing & the food was delicious. If I had to be picky my only "complaint would be the chicken meatballs in the chicken Manchurian were a bit more chewy than I would had preferred. When I think meatball I expect something softer in texture. But they were still delicious

Good luck to the second Hakka restaurant to open in Montreal, the bar couldn’t be higher. Top service, amazing drinks, & authentic Hakka. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Saw a few posts about how this is the first Indo-Chinese restaurant in Montreal. As someone who grew up eating hakka chinese every other week, Oorja was immediately added to my list of places to try. It did not disappoint. The service, ambience, drinks, food, literally every single thing was absolutely phenomenal & so authentic. Will be going back often.
