On 13th of February, we came to celebrate my husband’s birthday, i wanted to take him there for dine in and try the food aa we heard about it on internet. I tried to call the restaurant about the information and reservations but nobody picked the call. Later we just went in around 8:30pm, the Server told us they are having the customized menu for three days as it was valentine weekend. They showed this menu and told us to pick any two options from all the courses and it will be 96$ something. My husband asked if we could eat only 2-3 things but it will still be by the menu, because we didn’t want to eat soup and all in the evening as we wanted something special. The guy went to the kitchen to ask if they could do it but The Evening MANAGER (VINAY) strictly told him NO, as they were serving all the 4 courses and it was so called mandatory menu what we had to ordered if we wanted to dine in there. My husband requested politely too, thats it our first time, its his birthday too, if they could do it but it was clearly a NO!!! As we had lots of options around the area but we just wanted to try it out first time , Unfortunately it came out as our last time there.
No matter how good your food is, but manager or owner should know how to welcome the customers in any situation.
WE ARE REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!

Let’s talk about the good before the bad…First, food and cocktails were absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, from the moment we walked in, the service was probably the worst we’ve ever had, and this despite the restaurant being about one third full.
There is so much opportunity to train the staff better so the owner can reap better profit and the customers can have a better experience. First, when customers come in, a simple hello, smile or greeting, instead of making them wait for 5min without acknowledgment, would go a long way. Then, check in with your customers so that you can be aware of when they want to order. It took 20 min after being seated for someone to come to our table and light the candle, and take our order. And this was after we flagged the waiter down. Had the cocktails come sooner, we would either have had more or had wine with dinner. Had the waiter asked us if it was our first time here or advised us on how best to order, we likely would have ordered another entree. Had the service been pleasant, we would have stayed for desert.
Overall, this experience really made me realize that no matter how good the food is, if the service is bad, the overall experience leaves a bad taste. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back.
Excellent find! It was our first time trying indo-chinese fusion cuisine and let me tell you, it’s excellent. The quality of food is substantially higher than the price you will pay ! Must try - and their mocktails are divine (and we are picky)

Terrible service. We booked a table for 8, arrived but there was no staff?? We had to wait 10mn before someone showed up to show our seats!?
We got the first 2 plates after 45mn, then 10mn later 2 others and so on. So we each had to eat alone while others waited, otherwise it would have turned cold. No excuse, no explanation, nothing.
Food was nice, but a lot of dishes indicated one out of three for spiciness, when it was really really spicy. Then another plate that was 3 out of 3, was spicy, but not much more. It would be nice to follow the spiciness menu indications.
Also, we had two kids (toddlers), they got their meal after 4 adults at our table. They were starving after more than an hour of wait. Then, a table of four arrived (1h after us), and got their plate before our last ones. Felt like a joke.
Music was way too loud, we asked to lower it a bit, but it was not enough.
Place is nice and cozy , food flavour is amazing 10/10 . We had the chilli chicken , chicken momo, and two kinds of fried rice . Everything was delicious BUT the portions are VERY small . You may have to order doubles if you’re super hungry .

Solid experience! I came twice, once with family and once with friends. For appetizers, we had the duck broth and manchow broth. From the brunch menu, we had the mushroom toast (scrumptious), mango toast (delish), keema pav (flavourful) and both the spicy crispy chicken and braised pork bao bun sandwiches. Had the chicken momos from the lunch menu. Lovely presentation and delicious taste. Would recommend and can't wait to try the other menu items! Not too busy on Sunday morning/noontime. Nice waiter!

This is one of my great finds in place st.henri near to the metro and the ambience is 🤩. I’d recommend everyone to try the chicken lollipops, the chilli chicken momos and the ghee shrimp, you’ll be craving for more. Amongst the drinks it was a big hit -“thriller” and “almost everything cashew”. We did miss out on our last drink but given the crowd and how busy it gets during the evening it’s well understood. I’m a happy customer here being an Indian this indo-chinese fusion menu is 🤗😋🤤

We've been coming here since they opened. We recently tried the brunch and it was really good, I highly recommend this spot! The momos here are really good, the keema pav for brunch too is good!

So I was hungover and strolling for a comfort spot with spicy chow to soothe the demons.
I stumbled across oorja, it had a refined aesthetic while simultaneously providing an inviting, warm atmosphere. Perfect.
I was immediatley greeted by Naba, the lone bartender on duty, she is a literal walking ray of sunshine.
She made quick apologies for food service having finished after lunch but took the initiative to speak to the kitchen staff to see if they could make an exception and accomodate me, which they did without hesitation. Hospitality at its finest.
Great conversation and perfect recommendations followed with balanced dishes and expert crafted cocktails. I was blown away. Best culinary experience so far in montreal.
Dima is also a total stud, ask him to whip something up and you wont be disappointed.
Really disappointing. We've been twice and both times a bunch of items were missing off the menu. Thought the first time was a fluke as they had just opened, but two years later it definitely isn't. Some dishes are great (fish, pork) the noodles are mediocre at best.
Great space though, hope they manage to iron out their kinks. Probably won't be back with all the other great spots in the area. 6/10

Great food and service. Cocktails are delicious. Serving sizes bigger than expected, so we had food to take home.
The waitress made a quiet birthday celebration a little bit more special. Thank you
