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.

Second time, still not impressed. The options seem interesting but it was all very bland & very greasy - better options in the area!View more

La nourriture était délicieuse (rouleaux de printemps à l'agneau, dumplings, ailes de poulet, poisson...). Bien présenté & très savoureuse (assez épicé mais le niveau d'épice est bien indiqué sur le menu). Le chef est également venu s'assurer de notre satisfaction, a donné des informations supplémentaires sur la cuisine & les plats & a répondu à nos questions! Belles décorations & bonne musique! Restaurent qui gagne définitivement à être connu comme il y avait peu de personnes lors de notre visite. Il serait intéressant d'avoir du café (à venir selon serveuse) & choix plus varié de vin!View more

For a unique dining experience in Montreal, look no further than @oorjamtl! This beautifully decorated, intimate restaurant offers a cozy & comfortable atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a meal with friends (or dates). This place brings a delightful fusion of flavors to the table. The dishes are genuinely spicy, so be warned! Each bite is a celebration of bold flavors & vibrant spices, & we loved every detail of our meal. We really enjoy the desserts as well, especially the seasonal cannoli which was whimsically adorned with a fortune ribbon. It was a delightful touch that added a playful element to our dining experience. Overall, this is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore the delicious intersection of Indian & Chinese cuisines. With its inviting ambiance & mouthwatering dishes, it's a culinary journey you won't want to miss!View more

I went there on Friday & i was kind of disappointed. It was my second time, & i only went there again because i really enjoyed the food. On Friday, the restaurant was busy. We waited 20 minutes in order to be seated. Once we were seated, we ordered right away. Our food took very long to arrive. It took around 40 minutes & we were just 2 people. So i could say overall the service was really slow & bad. After our food has arrived we ordered spicy mayo which arrived 10 minutes later. But the food was good. We got the majestic chicken, fried rice, paneer chilli & shrimp. Not sure if we would go again.View more

Went with my girlfriend for my birthday, the service was excellent. Hope ya'll remember us sharing a cake together! If you go, definitely try the chicken lollipops, by far the best dish on their menu. Next time I'll order it twice.View more

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

I LOVE Oorja! The forty birds cocktail is a must! Plus the food, staff & atmosphere are all wonderful. A great spot to catch up with friends, or to come alone & chill at the bar with Corey. Definitely worth checking out.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
