Through Oorja, we aim to create a restaurant inspired by the flavors of Hakka, primarily Indo Chinese cuisine, where the emphasis is placed on fresh ingredients and great service. We take pride in the food that we create, and it is our ambition to bring this vibrant and culturally rich cuisine to Montreal. As both a restaurant and a cocktail bar, our objective is to shape a fun and dynamic environment centered around a unique culinary experience. Our team will create dishes and cocktails made from quality seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers. Indo Chinese cuisine is surprisingly absent from Montreal, and we believe that its vibrance and imaginativeness will be very well received.

Highly recommend & very unique. You won't find such dishes anywhere in Montreal. I will definitely be back & their cocktails are well curated as well.

Terrible service.
We booked a table for 8, arrived but there was no staff?? We had to wait 10mn before someone showed up to show our seats!?
We got the first 2 plates after 45mn, then 10mn later 2 others & so on. So we each had to eat alone while others waited, otherwise it would have turned cold.
No excuse, no explanation, nothing.
Food was nice, but a lot of dishes indicated one out of three for spiciness, when it was really really spicy. Then another plate that was 3 out of 3, was spicy, but not much more. It would be nice to follow the spiciness menu indications.
Also, we had two kids (toddlers), they got their meal after 4 adults at our table. They were starving after more than an hour of wait.
Then, a table of four arrived (1h after us), & got their plate before our last ones. Felt like a joke.
Music was way too loud, we asked to lower it a bit, but it was not enough.
Would not recommend even if the food was nice.

So I was hungover & strolling for a comfort spot with spicy chow to soothe the demons.
I stumbled across oorja, it had a refined aesthetic while simultaneously providing an inviting, warm atmosphere. Perfect.
I was immediatley greeted by Naba, the lone bartender on duty, she is a literal walking ray of sunshine.
She made quick apologies for food service having finished after lunch but took the initiative to speak to the kitchen staff to see if they could make an exception & accomodate me, which they did without hesitation. Hospitality at its finest.
Great conversation & perfect recommendations followed with balanced dishes & expert crafted cocktails. I was blown away. Best culinary experience so far in montreal.
Dima is also a total stud, ask him to whip something up & you wont be disappointed.
Dont sleep on oorja its the real deal. Cheers.

Really disappointing. We've been twice & both times a bunch of items were missing off the menu. Thought the first time was a fluke as they had just opened, but two years later it definitely isn't. Some dishes are great (fish, pork) the noodles are mediocre at best.
Great space though, hope they manage to iron out their kinks. Probably won't be back with all the other great spots in the area. 6/10

Nice experience at Oorja. Really enjoyed the live music. Cocktails were amazing! Well presented & nicely balanced. Appetizers were diverse, fresh & tasty. We had the cauliflower, oyster mushrooms, corn, salad & others. Really good.
The main dishes were disappointing. Most tasted the same with different looks. Dumplings were dry & bland, noodles over seasoned, duck chewy. Too bad.
Service was decent albeit a little slow & some staff misinformed.

RUN to this place, delicious food & AMAZING service!!! We got many dishes & the drinks were absolutely phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend. If you cannot handle the spice, please make to let them know cause it was definitely very spicy even for myself as an asian. We will be coming again & trying out other dishes!

A Flavorful Fusion Feast!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this place, & it was an absolute culinary delight! The exciting blend of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.
From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality & a vibrant atmosphere. The menu is extensive, featuring a wide array of dishes .
The service was impeccable throughout the evening. Our server was attentive, & happy to offer recommendations. The overall dining experience was truly exceptional.
I highly recommend this restaurant & can't wait to return!

Very unique experience, interior is gorgeous, as well as the plating of the dishes, very aesthetically pleasing. The dishes were all shocking with delicious new flavors, thank you for a great introduction to indo-chinese cuisine!

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!

I have had many Indo-Chinese dishes in my home town of Delhi, & have never found anything akin to the spicyness & flavour of those meals here in Canada. Until now. Oorja was phenomenal. I was transported back to Asia when I ate here this evening. The food was exceptional. The ambiance was delightful. I highly highly recommend anyone who is searching for a meal brimming with flavour, please come here. 11/10

The menu has unique dishes. Loved the asian salad, steamed momo with the sauce & thr chili paneer. The hakka noddles & fried rice were average. If you can't handle spicy, beware cause level 1 spice was really really spicy (& I have a really good spice tolerance). The prices are reasonable with generous portions.
Tess
The food was tasty though the flavour profiles of most dishes we tried were pretty similar. The momos, both fried & steamed were a little on the tough side. Cocktails were excellent & the atmosphere was nice. Though the staff were super friendly, the service was quite slow & could be more attentive. Overall, we enjoyed our time there but not sure we'd run back.

For a unique dining experience in Montreal, look no further than @oorjamtl! This beautifully decorated, intimate restaurant offers a cozy & comfortable atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal with friends (or dates). This place brings a delightful fusion of flavors to the table. The dishes are genuinely spicy, so be warned! Each bite is a celebration of bold flavors & vibrant spices, & we loved every detail of our meal. We really enjoy the desserts as well, especially the seasonal cannoli which was whimsically adorned with a fortune ribbon. It was a delightful touch that added a playful element to our dining experience. Overall, this is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the delicious intersection of Indian & Chinese cuisines. With its inviting ambiance & mouthwatering dishes, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss!

Beautiful small restaurant! Good vibe. The menu is different than the online menu. So we got confused what we decided home & to decide differently at the restaurant; they need to update their menu properly. The service was very scattered. Our orders were taken but not for drinks. Our dishes were tapas, for four of us to share, for each dish that came, we had to ask serving utensils. We had to ask for water refills repeatedly. In the end, we wanted the bill, the waiter forgot about it. Overall, every food was delicious. Since their restaurant is new; we hope in the near future, they will improve.

Hakka food is a very unique fusion of asian flavours & this place executes it very well along with wonderful presentation. The max heat on the dishes is just right & only enhances the blend of flavours. Whenever you can eat all the plates with hakka noodles instead of rice. The cocktails are fun & inventive. The homemade red bean ice cream is a perfect way to end the night. I will say the place is small & the ambience doesn't really stand out. Service was attentive but food was a bit slow but they acknowledged that & gave us a free dessert to thank us for our patience. The wait was well worth it 👌.

WOW. I live near this restaurant & always wanted to try it, & last night my friends & I walked by & decided to go. We were blown away. Cocktails were 10/10. Food was 12/10. The asian salad, lollipop chicken, dumplings, & main dishes we had (chicken something & braised pork) were literally all to die for. Our server was absolutely lovely, & we soon after found out he was the owner as well. The restaurant is also beautiful. Seriously mad at myself for not trying this place sooner, but we will be back 100%!!! Finally, a really good & reasonably priced restaurant in St Henri!!! Lastly I want to say they were very good about my severe allergies to nuts & fish. Thank you Oorja!

We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday with a few friends, & it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, & the ambiance was perfect. The service was top-notch, & Charan, our server, was particularly delightful. He recommended some excellent dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a memorable evening, & we look forward to returning soon!

Probably my favourite meal I've ever had in Montreal, & I've been very fortunate to eat at most of the cities top restaurants. Fantastic ambience in a small but well thought out space. Great for a date or a meal with friends. Ask for the corner booth if you can, it's a real "chefs table" experience. Corey took excellent care of us even though he was alone on the bar & serving simultaneously, lovely person & very skilled bartender. Incredibly enjoyable meal, started with the soup & moved to sharing the Braised Pork, Chili Paneer, & Chicken Manchurian. All 10/10 dishes. Huge portions, very well priced (Dinner for 4 people, 2 courses, $160 pre tip) & the flavour was the closest to eating in South Asia I've ever experienced in North America. Don't be discouraged by a "small menu" as I saw a few people mention. This is the definition of doing every dish well, & I look forward to trying each of their mains in my next visits. There are many good restaurants in Montreal, but few that are truly exceptional. Oorja is exceptional & their chef should be proud. A Michelin star is inbound if they can maintain this standard.
Tess
Not bad & amazing cocktails & service. I do find the dishes are quite fashion & interesting mixes of flavors from Asia (dumpling shad curry in them for example), however I'm not sure if it was enough for a second trip back.

Amazing food & great cocktails! We had a great time eating at Oorja, we ordered the chili dumplings, the duck wings, & lamb rolls for the entrees & everything was delicious! The most outstanding being the dumplings with the delicious sauce 🔥 followed very closely by the duck wings. but don't be fooled, both dishes are spicy! We love spicy food & this felt super authentic to the Indochinese flavours so we greatly appreciate the chefs effort to showcase the true spice of the cuisine. We also ordered the fried chicken with hokka noodles as main & it was amazing. For the dessert we had the red bean ice cream & it was 10/10. The cocktails were good. We had the passion fruit & the cashews all around & both were good.
