Cafe Soriah - Mediterranean restaurant in Eugene - 384 W 13th Ave, USA

Loved this place! Get the Calamari, the Steak Diane and the Lavender Chocolate Cake. But all of it was good. Pleasant helpful staff and a nice atmosphere. I’d say this is a must visit if you are in Eugene.

In Google reviews, we were looking for a nice Mediterranean restaurant, and WOW, did we ever find a fantastic one. Cafe Soriah is such a wonderful experience. Everything was great, and I am not kidding. The Calimari was cooked to perfection. The breading so carefully spiced and exoit flavors abound. Lemon burst from the dish along with the capers, and this is the first time we ate Calimari without any sauces. Our main courses prepared by Chef Abrahim, a bona fide culinary artis, worked his magic from his patio side culinary station. Flaming Steak Diane, Tombo Tuna, and many other dishes. Flaming desserts are not to be missed. The entire staff was very attentive and super friendly. I feel Soriah is a great value. Eugene, OR, is very lucky to have such a treasure.

Nice food, we tried the steak diane and the lamb chops. The restaurant's elegant ambiance, dimly lit with soft, warm tones is great for dinner dates. Has knowledgeable staff who guided us through the menu with expert recommendations.

I came with low expectations thinking i was going to find the typical Mediterranean food. Happens to be I found a 6 star restaurant. I choose the Steak Diane and i can honestly say that it is the best stake ever. Andrea was the best host that i have ever been served by. She is amazing, energetic, friendly and speaks great Spanish. I highly recommend this location. Great food, great fancy atmosphere and yet very affordable. You will not regret coming here.

This place surprised me. Exceptionally good food in taste and quality! My husband and I are both gluten-free. I ordered the Steak Diane, which I highly recommend! He ordered the rack of lamb. I don't like lamb normally however his dish was surprisingly good! Now, it's a month later and I am salivating for this places food, again, including the rack of lamb! Will definitely be going back! Highly recommend this place! Update: This place still surprises me at how truly high quality their ingredients are for each dish along with the best tasting dishes. They rotate their menu seasonally with some main staples that stick around year long such as the steak Diane.

Don't miss out on this gem! Make sure to get reservation because they fill up fast. We loved the innovative and varietals of some European classics with a Mediterranean vibe. The Steak Diane and Chicken Fricassee were absolutely divine. Well seasoned, flavorful, and kept you wanting more. This place is well worth it for a date night, a foodie adventure,or just a change of pace. Worth it!

Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong did. I placed an online order early in the day on a Thursday. I followed instructions and just to make sure, called the restaurant around 3:45. I was told that "the bartender" would call me between 4:00 & 4:30. I was also told (by the owner?) that the dessert I ordered couldn't be had but the rest of my order would be ready by 5:15. I never received a call from anyone and at 5:00 I called the restaurant again. I was told that my food order had been sitting there, waiting to be picked up "for awhile". I wonder how long they were willing to let it sit there. I had no interest in eating cold leftovers, and relayed this to the server on the phone. She said she was sorry. Me too. I have never had a meal at Soriah, even though I've lived in Eugene all of my life. I've only heard good things about the owner, (even met him once long ago) and his recipes. Very disappointed. I would love to try getting take-out from here again, or just make a reservation to dine in, but my husband and I wasted over 2 hours trying to get dinner and ultimately ordered from another restaurant which serves great cuisine with great service, on a consistent basis. I don't want to give Soriah a low star rating because I believe the owner surely has earned his wonderful reputation, but I can't possibly know firsthand, whether the food really deserves it. I only know that if I had spent upward of $100, only to find the food cold and unappetizing, I would have been more than disappointed. I would welcome the chance to have the owner speak to me about this, if he has the time, of course. Fast forward to today. After a very kind phone call from the owner, we were given a complimentary meal to make up for all the mistakes made yesterday. A very generous offer. I appeared at the correct time to pick up the meal which was the same as ordered yesterday. I brought it home, and I have to say (husband agreed) that it was easily the very best food we have had anywhere, possibly ever. Totally worth inconvenience from the previous day. I believe this establishment may be suffering from all the usual problems in the industry today....spiraling costs, labor issues, etc. Even so, Ibrahim Hamide's dishes have stood the test of time and we are immensely grateful to have gotten a chance to sample such unique and delicious food. I only wish I had visited earlier in his career. Truly fine cuisine, very much worth experiencing. Thank you!

Excellent! Food and service are top notch. We both got the Steak Dianna- highly recommend! The salads were great, the drinks even better! Everyone should give this place a try 😃
