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.

My first time dine in experience was way more than expected. I hope they keep up even in times to come, since it's not easy to come across a good Hakka Chinese restaurant. Even my friends from Toronto were taken by surprise, given the fact that there are more options in GTA.
Met with the owner & the chef also. Great duo. Overall staff, cleanliness, food & parking were just perfect. Definitely will come back for more.
Thank you for the lovely experience 😎

I am editing my review from 5 to 4 star!!!
On my second visit after a year, I got to see new menu, so now they have reduce the prices & have totally different menu. As the prices are lower I found the quantity of food less too!!
Really miss the old menu!!!
Still I would go for their Chicken lollipop 👌🏻
Overall it's a good Indo-Chinese food place.

This resto is great! My friend & i decided to visit this spot because of proximity & the dish styles, & we were extremely suprised.. while it looks like a nice place from the street, when you are seated it is an even better atmosphere to eat in (warm, soft lighting, soft music). The menu selections are very creative & all expertly made with delicious flavors.

It was however the service that really impressed us.. we discovered only after 20 mins at our table that the man who was serving us was the owner himself! He explained that he created the menu, & was so thorough on helping us (first timers) decide what type of dishes to order. He was running the bar, seating customers, serving the food for all the clients, & doing it with a smile, we couldnt believe it. He had mentioned to us that they were short staffed for the evening due to a last minute emergency from a staff member, so he rolled up his sleeves & personally served us better than any other server would..

At the end of our meal he gave me free ice cream with my dessert which was a very thoughtful touch. I will definitely be returning! If you are looking for a nice dining experience with excellent food for a reasonable price, need not look further, Thank you for this great meal!
