Some restaurants you walk into as a stranger and walk out feeling like you’ve known the place forever. Oorjaa was exactly that.
Met Chef Raj Sethia for the first time that evening — and within minutes, you could tell this is someone who genuinely thinks about food. The kind of chef who has a clear point of view, and it shows in every single plate.
Indian cuisine in a warm, intimate 40-seater space that doesn’t try too hard but gets everything right. We worked through the Tandoor Platter, the Oorjaa Dal which was rich and deeply comforting, a perfectly crisp Chilli Roti, the Classic Yellow Dal, fragrant Jeera Rice — and just when you think the meal has peaked, out comes the Filter Coffee Rosogulla. A dessert that’s as unexpected as it is memorable.
Every dish had something to say. The flavours were layered, the presentation kept simple and minimal, and nothing felt out of place.
