Through Oorja, we aim to create a restaurant inspired by the flavors of Hakka, primarily Indo Chinese cuisine, where the emphasis is placed on fresh ingredients and great service. We take pride in the food that we create, and it is our ambition to bring this vibrant and culturally rich cuisine to Montreal. As both a restaurant and a cocktail bar, our objective is to shape a fun and dynamic environment centered around a unique culinary experience. Our team will create dishes and cocktails made from quality seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers. Indo Chinese cuisine is surprisingly absent from Montreal, and we believe that its vibrance and imaginativeness will be very well received.
Oorja est décrite comme une expérience de fusion indo-chinoise avec des tapas variés et des plats savoureux, présentés avec soin et accompagnés de cocktails créatifs et bien équilibrés. L'ambiance est chaleureuse et cosy, parfois rendue plus vivante par de la musique live, ce qui en fait un lieu adapté pour un dîner entre amis ou en couple. Le rapport qualité-prix est globalement positif, même si certaines portions peuvent sembler petites pour le prix et certains plats manquent de cohérence dans les saveurs. Le service est largement apprécié pour sa bienveillance et son professionnalisme, mais des critiques évoquent des périodes de désorganisation, des oublis ou une certaine lenteur qui nuisent à l'expérience. Dans l'ensemble, la cuisine et les cocktails sont largement salués et décrits comme innovants et délicieux, incitant les clients à revenir, tout en reconnaissant qu il existe des soirs avec des améliorations possibles sur la constance du service et les portions.
Ate here late last Sunday nite & was pleasantly surprised. The momos were fantastic & the cocktails were top notch, as well as my mussels served with curry. But this review is not about the food, it's about Dima. He was the absolute hero of our night. Amazing banter, amazing hospitality. Introduced us to some great new drinks, really sold the menu, & took care of us in so many ways. Thank you so much, Dima, from the bottom of my heart. I hope you go far in this life.
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.
Amazing place to try out indo-chinese food. Fantastic! It was my birthday & they took us in last minute. Had an absolute blast & shout out to the server Alejandro who did an exceptional service. I really enjoyed chicken chilli & chicken lollipops plus the hakka noodles were bomb. Thank you for making my day!✨
Not bad & amazing cocktails & service. I do find the dishes are quite fashion & interesting mixes of flavors from Asia (dumpling shad curry in them for example), however I'm not sure if it was enough for a second trip back.
I loved my night out with the fam. The food was delicious, the staff was AMAZING, cocktails were the best I've had in awhile- highly recommend their passionfruit cocktail, & the red bean dessert was incredible! My favourite part was all the hidden little birds throughout the restaurant... there is a special prize if anyone that finds all of them. Made for a great night!

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.
Amazing food & great cocktails! We had a great time eating at Oorja, we ordered the chili dumplings, the duck wings, & lamb rolls for the entrees & everything was delicious! The most outstanding being the dumplings with the delicious sauce 🔥 followed very closely by the duck wings. but don't be fooled, both dishes are spicy! We love spicy food & this felt super authentic to the Indochinese flavours so we greatly appreciate the chefs effort to showcase the true spice of the cuisine. We also ordered the fried chicken with hokka noodles as main & it was amazing. For the dessert we had the red bean ice cream & it was 10/10. The cocktails were good. We had the passion fruit & the cashews all around & both were good.

Everything just out of this world , my new favourite Hakka place in Montreal can't recommend more. 100% drinks 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽😋 everything so delicious served perfectly, must visit if you in saint Henri
My friends & I walked into this place on 23rd March in the evening. We were told that they are sold out that night & could not give us a table since we had no reservations. We totally understood. They agreed to service our takeaway order & we asked for 2 chilli chicken (which came with a portion of rice) & 2 chicken manchow soup & charged us accordingly, When we got home, we realized 1 order was missing. We were tourists in the area so dint see the point to uber back to the restaurant. We were off mood because of this miss & the portions were quite small too for the price we paid + the soup & the gravy tasted the same! We should have checked the order ourselves but - Oh well- dont think we will visit again.
