Halal Reviews for Oorja Soho

I dined here last week Thursday and honestly, it was an absolutely spectacular meal. Thank you to Ashish who looked after us all evening - The service, food, presentation of food, atmosphere… everything was brilliant 👏🏼 Hats off to the team

Food was decent, modern Indian with variety of choices and well executed. The atmosphere was chic/spacious but service/operation was all over the place….Ive been told they’ve only been open for a week … so Hopefully it will get better 😋

We went to Oorja Indian restaurant 2 weeks after it was opened. It was by far the best indian food we had in 3 years after coming to the UK. We ordered Butter Chicken, Garlic naan, Mango Lassi, Chili chicken, and Aloo tikki. The service and the ambiance were very, very nice, and the location of the restaurant is just cherry on the top. Would highly recommend this place.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Oorja this evening. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the contemporary yet inviting design, which seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with traditional Indian artifacts. For a restaurant that has only been open for three weeks, the staff operated like a well-oiled machine—warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and escorted to a charming corner table on the street-level floor. Later, on my way to the restroom, I discovered a lower level, but I was glad to have been seated upstairs, as it offered a wonderful ambiance. The meal itself was a journey of bold and exciting flavors. I started with the agriki aloo tikki chaat, a potato-based dish bursting with vibrant spices and textures. As a delightful surprise, the waiter brought out a box of assorted poppadoms in various shapes and textures, accompanied by three distinct dipping sauces—an imaginative and delicious touch. For my main course, I opted for the chicken tikka chops with mint chutney and onion salad. The flavors were already excellent, but I couldn’t resist experimenting with some of the poppadom sauces, which elevated the dish even further. To round off the meal, I chose a trio of kulfi scoops for dessert, paired with an espresso. Just when I thought the experience was complete, the waiter presented a palate cleanser—an aromatic mix of fennel seeds with sweet and salty elements that left a refreshing finish. Oorja, which fittingly means energy, strength, and power, truly lives up to its name. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal with such an incredible depth of flavor. I can’t wait to return!

Booked a table for family of 7 pre-theatre. Had a great meal here, all the food was cooked to perfection and Devanchu (unsure of spelling) was an excellent member of staff, very friendly and helpful. Some of us ordered the pre-theatre express menu which was great value for money and tasted amazing. Service was a little slow but understandable as it had just opened and we could not complain when our food arrived!
