Oorja propose une fusion culinaire distincte qui marie les épices indiennes traditionnelles aux techniques de cuisson chinoises dynamiques. Les clients découvrent un menu robuste comprenant des spécialités cuites au four en terre cuite aux côtés de plats sautés au wok qui mettent en valeur des saveurs audacieuses et des ingrédients frais. La cuisine privilégie des méthodes de préparation à haute température, produisant des currys aromatiques et des plats de nouilles savoureux qui définissent son profil unique axé sur le grill. Chaque assiette maintient un équilibre entre le piquant des préparations tandoori classiques et le profil umami inhérent aux sautés asiatiques régionaux. Cet établissement sert de carrefour fonctionnel pour ceux qui recherchent des profils gustatifs variés dans un cadre singulier. L'assaisonnement constant et les mélanges d'épices authentiques constituent l'objectif principal, garantissant que chaque plat respecte des normes de préparation précises.
Oorja est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour la cuisine fusion indo-chinoise à Montréal, souvent salué pour son menu innovant, ses plats savoureux comme le poulet majestic et ses cocktails créatifs parfaitement équilibrés. La plupart des clients apprécient l'ambiance chaleureuse, animée et accueillante, souvent agrémentée de musique live et d'un service professionnel et sympathique. Bien que la majorité des visiteurs vivent des expériences exceptionnelles, les avis sur le service et la taille des portions sont quelque peu mitigés. Certains clients trouvent les portions un peu petites par rapport au prix, et d'autres ont rencontré des incohérences occasionnelles dans la rapidité du service et la précision des commandes lors des périodes de forte affluence. Malgré ces critiques isolées, le consensus demeure que le restaurant est une perle rare qui offre une expérience culinaire unique et très agréable à laquelle il vaut la peine de revenir.
It's a cosy date spot with great Indo Chinese food. The serving size is comparatively small. I liked the ambiance & the customer service. It would be great to see a bigger menu & food servings.
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.
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.

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.
As someone who likes Indo Chinese a lot, I'd give 4 stars to the food, maybe 3.5-4 stars to service only because it's a little slow, however the staff is very courteous. Great Ambience, awesome cocktails
This is such a nice place to come have a drink &/or eat. The food is delicious. Indo-chinese fusion with immaculate flavours in each dish. Not only that the food is amazing, so are the cocktails. There is a large range of alcohol & tasty beverages. It is not too expensive & it’s a cozy place to come either with your friends or with a date. The ambiance makes it really nice, the staff are super friendly & comprehensive. I would 100% recommend
Upon entering, I was greeted by a welcoming & cozy atmosphere that immediately established the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable dining experience. This restaurant skillfully combines the finest elements from Indian & Chinese culinary heritages, crafting a seamless harmony of flavors. I had a memo & chill paneer that comes with noodles. The noodles were perfectly cooked & generously tossed. The impeccable execution, thoughtful presentation, & exceptional service make this restaurant a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
Overall, Oorja was a good place for a great cocktail & shareable entrees. The place was nicely designed, & the atmosphere was good to have a nice chat with friends. The cocktails were all delicious & definitely different. We had a few entrees to share, & my favorites were the duck wings & lamb spring rolls. I would recommend them for sure!! The main dishes were a little more disappointing. My braised pork was a little tough on some bites, & the white rice was either mushy & not cooked on some parts. The paneer chili was quite tasty & an original take on sweet chili sauce dish. The chicken chili was very similar to what you would get in a Chinese restaurant but with a higher price tag. In the end, I would recommend that if you are looking for good cocktails & tasty entrees.
Great new restaurant in the St Henri neighbourhood. First time trying Indo-Chinese food . Everything from the Dumplings to the spicy chicken dishes were delicious .(along with nice glass of the natural wine ) . Service was friendly & helpful
