Info & Location
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.

Had the lamb rolls, the soup, & the braised pork! Some of the most flavourful food I've had! This is the best indo-Chinese I've had outside of India/Malaysia!! The owner is super friendly & knowledgeable, the ambiance is moody, & the service is very attentive! Definitely worth a stop by!View more

Beautiful small restaurant! Good vibe. The menu is different than the online menu. So we got confused what we decided home & to decide differently at the restaurant; they need to update their menu properly. The service was very scattered. Our orders were taken but not for drinks. Our dishes were tapas, for four of us to share, for each dish that came, we had to ask serving utensils. We had to ask for water refills repeatedly. In the end, we wanted the bill, the waiter forgot about it. Overall, every food was delicious. Since their restaurant is new; we hope in the near future, they will improve.View more

Hakka food is a very unique fusion of asian flavours & this place executes it very well along with wonderful presentation. The max heat on the dishes is just right & only enhances the blend of flavours. Whenever you can eat all the plates with hakka noodles instead of rice. The cocktails are fun & inventive. The homemade red bean ice cream is a perfect way to end the night. I will say the place is small & the ambience doesn't really stand out. Service was attentive but food was a bit slow but they acknowledged that & gave us a free dessert to thank us for our patience. The wait was well worth it 👌.View more

WOW. I live near this restaurant & always wanted to try it, & last night my friends & I walked by & decided to go. We were blown away. Cocktails were 10/10. Food was 12/10. The asian salad, lollipop chicken, dumplings, & main dishes we had (chicken something & braised pork) were literally all to die for. Our server was absolutely lovely, & we soon after found out he was the owner as well. The restaurant is also beautiful. Seriously mad at myself for not trying this place sooner, but we will be back 100%!!! Finally, a really good & reasonably priced restaurant in St Henri!!! Lastly I want to say they were very good about my severe allergies to nuts & fish. Thank you Oorja!View more

The food was delicious! This place looks cozy from outside, & you have a false first impression that it's nice there because, actually, inside has this lounge concept & vibe. However, it was too dark inside, & music was loud & not relaxing at all. This is the only downside. Waitress was nice & polite.View more

It's a wonderful place, tastefully done up. The music was amazing & not too loud. You could have proper conversations & hear people across the table. The cocktails surprised us, & we loved the drinks! They were delicious! The food was so tasty, that one is bound to overeat! They menu is limited, but each item is finger-lickin' good! The food is on the spicier side, but they accommodate spice level requests. It's perfect for a date night or even after work meetup. Definitely recommend this place!View more

We recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my husband's birthday with a few friends, & it was a fantastic experience. The food was delicious, & the ambiance was perfect. The service was top-notch, & Charan, our server, was particularly delightful. He recommended some excellent dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, it was a memorable evening, & we look forward to returning soon!View more

I recently visited Oorja & was blown away by the flavors & quality of their Indo-Chinese cuisine! with perfectly balanced spices & tender ingredients. The service was attentive & friendly, & the ambiance was cozy & inviting. I'm so impressed with the care & authenticity that goes into every dish. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious & authentic Indo-Chinese food. Can't wait to come back & try more of the menu! Score a FREE SIGNATURE DRINK if you spot 40 birds hidden in the restaurant! Their beverages were out of this world.View more

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 prospersView more

If you're looking for Desi Chinese, this is THE PLACE 😍🤤. The food was yummmm, & the spice level was 🔝-just how I like it. I love how creatively everything is prepared, & their bar is 💯🫶. The ambiance? 100/100! Love, love, love it! It's a great spot for a cozy date night, complete with teary eyes from the spice!View more
