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.
Giving it 3 star because the portion of the meal was way less than expected. I have been to PF Chang, Jack Astor, Elixor & a few named restaurants but their portion of the food is good according to the price. Even the choice of the drinks were not much here. I was really excited after seeing a post on Instagram but was really disappointed after spending 115$. I'd suggest to offer more portion of the plate or better choices of the menu.
First time there, on a Saturday, on a date with my husband.
The ambiance is perfectly right: the lighting, the music & its volume.
The staff is professional & very nice.
The food & the drinks just as perfect as the rest.
It was such a great discovery & will definitely go back.
Brenan was an amazing server, & their bar-chefs clearly know how to craft an excellent cocktail, for drinks or for food this place is a must! Best new bar in montreal for sure

Good luck to the second Hakka restaurant to open in Montreal, the bar couldn’t be higher. Top service, amazing drinks, & authentic Hakka. Already looking forward to our next visit.
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.
The food was good, but the service was atrocious.
We waited about 30 mins before someone came to take the drinks order. We asked for the wine selection, it took another 20 mins before the waiter came back with options, only to propose only one option of bottle of wine, for 85$ the bottle. Since we had been waiting for so long, we decided to take the bottle. The server didn't know how to uncork the bottle, we had cork pieces in our glass, & he didn't even check if the bottle wine was corked before serving. If I'm paying for an 85$ bottle, I'm expecting the service to follow. If not, put 45$ bottle on your menu!
Then I find out later through our research that this bottle retails for 19$. I find it appalling to sell a 19$ bottle at 85$ in a restaurant.
The food was delicious, but we wanted to order some more because the portions were small. The waiter brought us back the menu & never came back for the order. After 30 minutes of waiting, we decided to just ask for the bill & leave. After another 20 mins of waiting for someone to bring us the machine to pay, we decided to just get up & go to the bar to pay, otherwise we would have waited forever.
So basically, my experience consisted of waiting for service & obtaining bad service.
I do not recommend this restaurant, & I will not go back.
An incredible experience! Some of the best food in Montreal hands down! The spring rolls, duck & braised pork especially stand out. The dishes are original & flavourful, anything my company or I ordered was delicious & did not disappoint. The drinks are also unique & very pretty, & they compliment the dishes well. The service was very good too, not once did we have to ask for water & some of these dishes are authentically spicy :). They're also great at guiding you through the menu if you don’t know what you want to order. Even for a nightcap, their desserts are great, plus the vibe is very classy & laid back. Definitely a spot to hit if you’re in the city.
