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.
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!
Tried Oorja for dinner The interior is sick. Love the colors & ambiance. We tried many items & everything was delicious. The dumplings & spring rolls were so good. My favorite item was the duck wings. First time trying duck but it was to die for. Very Friendly & helpful staff ! Fair prices! Follow @ayahayek_ for more on instagram
A 5 for the expertly crafted cocktails. WoW! All were exceedingly delicious. Being an Indian/Asian fusion I'm undecided whether I like this combination. The lamb spring rolls were better, with two dipping sauces that were excellent. The duck wings while good were too sweet overall. Pork Braisé was plentiful yet again too sweet. Chicken & also Veg Manchurian's were ok. Opt for the fried rice, which did have delicious smoky flavor. Wait staff was very nice, however needs a bit more training. (Don't reach in front of a guest to deliver food to another. Ask if the meal is finished before removing sauce plates.) Would definitely return & enjoy cocktails & an appetizer or two.

Loved the cocktails, lamb spring rolls & five spice porc, but the paneer chilii had some next level heat, a notch too spicy for me & I'm a chilli lover! Overall great experience!
Came here for a friend's birthday. Our server was great. The food was good but the prices were a bit high for the portion sizes. I tried the lamb spring rolls which were phenomenal & the salad (appetiser) which was also good but not sure how the price is justified. The music was quite loud & the bathrooms are oddly located without hooks for your bag, etc. By the time we left, the restaurant was entirely full & we physically had a hard time leaving due to how many tables were squeezed into the place. Overall the place is nice but not sure I would return.
Amazing food. The starters (Lamb spring rolls, Fried Momos, Manchow Soup) were really well made, especially the dips & the chutneys. Plating was superb. Tried the Chicken Manchurian with fried rice. The gravy was so close to indo chinese but the chicken was not as succulent & tender. Waiting staff were quick & delight to interact with. Everything was served really fast. Restaurant was a bit smaller & seating was not very comfortable as the tables are laid out very close to each other. Lighting was a little dim so could not read the menu. But overall a very nice ambience & is on the rustic side & the place was packed with people.
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.
Overall, Oorja was a good place for a great cocktail & shareable entrees. The place was nicely designed, & the atmosphere was good to have a nice chat with friends. The cocktails were all delicious & definitely different. We had a few entrees to share, & my favorites were the duck wings & lamb spring rolls. I would recommend them for sure!! The main dishes were a little more disappointing. My braised pork was a little tough on some bites, & the white rice was either mushy & not cooked on some parts. The paneer chili was quite tasty & an original take on sweet chili sauce dish. The chicken chili was very similar to what you would get in a Chinese restaurant but with a higher price tag. In the end, I would recommend that if you are looking for good cocktails & tasty entrees.
My friends & I were really excited to try out this new spot but unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations.
Although the drinks were good & so were some of the appetizers (lamb spring rolls & duck wings) - the mains were not very good.
They have the same sauce for several plates, & to be honest it's seems like it's store bought or something. Two of us at the table had fried rice & it tasted funny, almost freezer burnt.
The servers were very kind an attentive & they even took one of the dishes off the bill because we weren't satisfied with it.
I won't be returning, but hope that as this restaurant grows, the food will improve!
