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.

Je ne recommande pas ce restaurant du tout. J'ai découvert ce restaurant suite à plusieurs bonnes reviews sur Instagram par des influenceurs. Franchement, c'était jour & nuit versus ce que nous avons reçu. 1. Les dumplings étaient plutôt une soupe (voir la photo). Ils n'étaient aussi pas cuit de façon uniforme. 2. Le porc braisé comptait plus de pièces de gras, que de porc. Un goût d'épices brûlées assez omniprésent dans tout le porc braisé! Les juliennes étaient mal coupés, comme si c'était la première fois que quelqu'un faisait des juliennes. 3. Le service était lent. 30min d'attente avant de recevoir quoique ce soit, alors que le restaurant n'était pas plein. 2/5View more

Food is good but always short staffed & service is slowView more
via LibroVous devez vous occuper d'avoir une carte des vins & expliquer votre menu au client. Lorsque vous êtes trois à servir & que deux jasent entre eux au lieu de nous servir & oubli nos boissons, nous trouvons que c'est un manque à notre égard .

Mauvaise expérience! Le serveur s'est trompé 2 fois sur le prix d'un vin (btl) & il en a résulté que nous avons dû payer pour 2 verres à $22/ch!! Vraiment pas dans notre budget!! Mon conjoint a demandé combien approximativement il y avait de moules pour son repas & le serveur lui a dit euhhh entre 15-20... il y en avait 8 dont 2 minuscules!! Je lui ai demandé si 2 piments 🌶️ 🌶️ c'est très fort & il m'a répondu moyen mais je vais demander qu'ils ajustent en conséquence ... je n'ai pratiquement rien mangé car c'était vraiment trop piquant !
Le serveur n'est jamais revenu nous voir ( il devait être gêné de toutes ses erreurs) , personne ne nous a demandé si notre repas était à notre goût, & notre serveur ne nous a même pas salué à notre départ...
Très ordinaire malheureusement:(

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.View more

Food was excellent- but way too spicy for myself & two guests. It was not 2 star spicey- more like 4 star. Not sure I will return because menu options for mains at one star not present on menu.
Third time eating at your establishment & want to support local businesses- but please consider older clientele who may not digest spices at same intensity as your chef prepares them.
via LibroIl faisait froid dans le resto, j'ai commandé 2 services que je n'ai jamais reçu & les robinets pour le lavabo pour se nettoyer les mains ne fonctionnait pas.
via LibroYou need more options on the menu, it's too small, & there are no ‘healthy' options.
via LibroA wonderful evening at Oorja! Creative, fun, & totally delicious food & thoughtful, attentive service.

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.View more

Pretty nice restaurant, variety in drinks & great attention. The baby corn & the pork were highlights for me. The vanilla cake desserts was also really damn good.View more

The food was really good. A bit too spicy for my own taste.
The ambience was good as well, the setting looked really good.
However, the service was extremely bad. The wait time was really long, & couldn't even get water refills.
However food experience was good, but the service made the overall experience bad.

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!View more
