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.
Kind patient service, delicious food, communication & nice environment. I feel the higher price for the meal is justified as it does taste premium with servers to match. I definitely would come again.
I had the lamb spring roll which tastes fine with delicious sauces but wouldn't recommend. It is much too hard & not as tasty as all other food that was great.
It would have been nice to have A/C in the place instead of the loud fan, but perhaps I'm being too particular at this point. Either way, love this place.
Had food delivered on 1st week it was open. Quality & taste were ok. Yesterday dined in. Food was exceptional. Chose duck wings, chicken lollipop, lamb spring rolls, & momo dumplings as apps & the chili/Manchurian chicken, braised pork as mains. Service was very good.
very cute little resto. very popular.
interesting drink menu, lots of options.
we were 3 & shared 6 plates. everything was delicious.
the chili momos were much better than the straight up steamed ones, so I would just get the chili one.
lollipop chicken, paneer, hakka noodles, lamb spring rolls. all amazing.
highly recommend

Excellent place to share appetizers with friends. The main meals were also decent portions, so good value there. The lamb spring rolls were amazing, as well as the lollipop chicken. The only big downside is the dessert. They had only a red bean ice cream, no other options. The menu can be expanded a little bit. The drinks were definitely swanky, but not worth 17$ for cocktails. Cider & beer were 8 to 10$. Service was fast & efficient. Our server was attentive & relatable. He made the night really fun. The atmosphere was cool & posh, but still warm & welcoming. Good location as several places have closed previously at this spot. Hope it prospers
Food 4.5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Repeat & Recommend :Yes Went to Oorja Saturday night party of 3 for my first time. Atmosphere is very chill, the staff was genuinely helpful & friendly & the music was eclectic ranging from Frank Sinatra to country. There is also a terrace outisde in summer as a nice option. The menu isn't extensive which I like, better to do 5 things with careful & expertise than 50 items mediocre. We ordered cocktails to start all were visually & tastewise excellent. We ordered apps to start & went for the lamb spring rolls, Momo chili dumplings, Chicken Lollipops & Duck wings. All were quite good though my standouts were the Lollipops & the spring rolls. On to the mains my party has the Curried mussels, Chili Chicken & Manchurian chicken. We all enjoyed our mains, had trouble finishing them but that was more a result of overindulging in the apps. For the same reason we didn't try any desserts but thats just someting to look forward to next time. Overall I was really looking for anything to assign as a negative but I had no complaints. It's not cheap but it's also not expensive, I think its very fairly priced for the quality & service.
Minced lamb spring roll & chicken Manchurian were okay, nothing special in terms of flavour or texture. The side sauces didn't help the rolls. Noodles for the chicken were okay.
The lamb spring rolls were really good! Manchurian chicken as well. I would recommend sharing many plates. Prices are alright but 18$ for a glass of wine is quite expensive.
Good place, worth trying. Pros: -Flavourful plates. The lamb spring rolls & the dumplings were delicious. Notes: -There's more cocktails options than main dishes -Most main dishes are spicy, even after asking to reduce the strength at the order.
We had the pleasure of dining at Oorja on our recent Montreal visit. It is a small restaurant but what Beautiful ambience. We had reservations for 5 people, but had an extra person join in at the last minute (a kid), & they were very kind to accommodate us. The menu is not elaborate, however it includes all the famed dishes from the Indochinese cuisine. Plating is gorgeous & everything was deliciuosly flavourful. My favorite was veggie Manchurian, which I was sharing with my sister. However it was so delicious that we ended up ordering another plate. Kids had lamb spring rolls & chicken manchurian, & even though it was a bit spicy for their taste buds, they thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband ordered chili paneer, which was very flavorful but the paneer was on the dry side. & lastly, I would travel back to Montreal just to have their red bean ice cream with bao bun. Everyone was skeptical in ordering a red bean icecream, but My gut feeling said it would be good. & I wasn't wrong. I was so full otherwise I would have eaten one more plate of that. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
I will be going back for the Minced Lamb Spring Rolls & the Braised Pork Belly - I totally forgot to order the Red Bean Bao Buns for dessert; I can't wait to try it! The appies are the main event, the mains are a bit too sweet & lacked complexity, but for $20 they're great & on the small side. My friends loved the wine, & The Last Word cocktail recommendation was surprising & herbacious. Great space, a nice addition to the neighbourhood!
