I loved the curried mussels. They were fresh & the sauce was flavourful & just the right amount of spicy. The portion was kind of small but you pay for the quality, service & ambiance. They also gave me some containers of salad dressing to take home because I requested it, I'm excited to try them
Oorja is a neighborhood spot, & we love to come here. The cocktails are good, the puns are fine. We like a good goof. They used to have this really beautiful spicy chicken dish, it's still on the menu but recently they toned it down, the dish lost all it's edge & taste. Stick your guns Oorja! We will show up for your og recipes.
I came once & you had me fill out a paper survey at your bar, I wrote « keep your spicey chkn » & you must have lost my paper cause u took out the spice. I even drew u a picture. Damn.
Visiting Montreal & a colleague brought me here . Great cocktails & I had the super spicy fish Apollo & fried rice ...best meal I've had in a while. Highly recommend

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.
Solid experience! I came twice, once with family & once with friends. For appetizers, we had the duck broth & manchow broth. From the brunch menu, we had the mushroom toast (scrumptious), mango toast (delish), keema pav (flavourful) & both the spicy crispy chicken & braised pork bao bun sandwiches. Had the chicken momos from the lunch menu. Lovely presentation & delicious taste. Would recommend & can't wait to try the other menu items! Not too busy on Sunday morning/noontime. Nice waiter!
Nous n'avons malheureusement pas eu un bon service, on a été vraiment patient car c'était les débuts du serveur. Cependant il avait oublié d'envoyer notre commande, la table derrière nous avait terminé son repas alors qu'ils sont arrivés après nous. Nous n'avons pas eu les plats en même temps donc nous étions 4 & n'avons pas mangés'ensemble'. La nourriture était correct mais spicy! Les cocktails sont délicieux!!!
On a du attendre 20 minutes après pour avoir les factures (20 minutes au comptoir à attendre après la demande).
Ça nous a gâché l'expérience malheureusement + aucun geste de leur part, c'est dommage
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.
I hope more people come to this restaurant because I had a fantastic experience! It was fairly empty on a Wednesday evening (6pm). I ordered the chilli momos, fried oyster mushrooms & the pear cocktail drink. The batter on the mushrooms was flavorful, crispy & well spiced while the momos were in the most delicious savoury, tangy, spicy sauce. Both hit it out of the park for me. Cocktails are inventive & well balanced as well.
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!
