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.
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!
