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.
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.
Nous sommes allé à ce resto en couple. Nous avons pris deux cocktails & 4 entrées: salade asiatique, nouille chinoise (épicé), haricots verts sautés (épicé) & le poisson Apollo.
Total de la facture autour de $135 incluant taxes & pourboires.
Nous avons bien apprécié en général. Par contre, les plats auraient eu avantage à être un peu plus chaud. Autre point négatif, plusieurs plats sur le menu n'était pas disponible, ce qui restreignait les choix.
What an awesome cozy resto-bar! Absolutely thrilled I tried it. Thursday nights feature live jazz music, & it was lovely. The menu looks delicious & it was up to the expectation. The mussels were sooo tasty & that manchurian veggies are a must-try. Our server was also sweet & helpful. Price wise, I was also positively surprised, mocktails at 10 dollars, dishes from 12 to 25 dollars, definitely on the low side of the budget so we felt great ordering starters, drinks, desserts, without breaking the bank. Literally a 10/10 from the cute atmosphere to the delicious food to the music. Will be back!!
Best Indo-Chinese bar restaurant i've ever been to in Montreal. The food is just great with amazing cocktails, their'now you see me cocktail' is just a banger. The ambience is a 11/10 feels cozy, lively & calm. Such an amazing place run by people passionate about what they.

Kind patient service, delicious food, communication & nice environment. I feel the higher price for the meal is justified as it does taste premium with servers to match. I definitely would come again.
I had the lamb spring roll which tastes fine with delicious sauces but wouldn't recommend. It is much too hard & not as tasty as all other food that was great.
It would have been nice to have A/C in the place instead of the loud fan, but perhaps I'm being too particular at this point. Either way, love this place.
We visited Oorja on May 17th for dinner. We were visiting Montreal & went there after reading the reviews online. The food was such a disappointment. It was no where close to Indo-Chinese or Hakka.
The Gobi bites were very salty & oily. The sides portion was way too less & we were told that mains are shareable so we ordered only a few mains to share & very highly disappointed. The veg manchurian was undercooked & the side fried rice with it was too oily. The only dish that was okay was Majestic chicken but it had regional Indian flavours rather than being Hakka. The food took a long time to arrive. Overall not a good experience.
C'était super! J'y suis allée deux fois à date. J'ai essayé des plats & cocktails différents à chaque fois & tout était délicieux (rouleaux à l'agneau, moules au curry, bouchées de chou-fleur, poulet au chili, poisson apollo)!
The food was really good but the service is lacking. Waiter was nice & sweet but forgot multiple times our requests & orders. For ex. forgot our mocktails, forgot to refill the water, forgot to give a receipt. Really no checkups. Would give a 5/5 if that is improved on.
This place is outstanding. Visiting from Boston. May have converted my husband & sister to Indian food. The tikka (can't remember the rest of the name-it was a vegetarian small plate) was scrumptious. Biryana was wonderful as well. The hostess was so warm & lovely. Highly recommend.
SUCH WASTE OF MONEY
First of all nobody answers the call , i have called many times nobody respond. On the top of that, we ordered from ubereats Chicken lolipop & schezwan noodles but what we recieved we didnt expected.
Last time we ordered Chicken lolipop we recieved 6 pieces but now it was only 4 pieces with very minimal meat on it & with such sweetness, what are we gonna eat when there is no meat on it. I dont know what did they thought while sending it.
Talking about the noodles very very less quantity, taste was okay but quantity didnt match the price at all.
On the top, they provide you food in a paperbox with no butterpaper on the bottom, boxes got so oily until it reached us. We dont even want to eat it as now its giving a smell like paper.
