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!
