Our 4 desserts.
Susan S.

Awesome! A sumptuous treat in a quiet retreat. I've read about this place for years. We finally decided to treat ourselves and some friends and try this out. It's a bit of a drive, but still very worth it. Loads of parking and greeted by the proprietor and chef. You have to make reservations as this is a very small and intimate setting. It is bright, clean and very lovely inside but the food! The food is spectacular. We had. BRAISED DUCK RISOTTO, ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE , MEDITERRANEAN LAMB STEW WITH COUSCOUS, and LAMB SHANK. I'm sorry I didn't take pictures of the beautifully presented meals, but they were works of art and the flavors were sublime. Everything was delicious. We splurged and had four desserts! I've attached pictures of those. Once again, the presentation was over the top and the flavors for marvelous. If you have a special occasion, or you want to treat somebody , this is definitely the place to go. I know of no other place in the area with the atmosphere and attention to perfection that will match Cafe Collage.

Duck with cherry sauce

What are unique and quaint little place. Can't say enough about the friendly personalized service and the delicious food. We had the lamb and the duck and really enjoyed both. You could taste the chefs unique blend of herbs that put his personal spin on both dishes it was a treat to spend the evening there. I don't think my photos do the food justice, but I will include them.

Mother's Day Dinner at Cafe Collage in Oregon House, CA. An exquisite Mediterranean-style restaurant with the most personal attention to service. Hummus was served first. We ordered the House Cured Greek Olives from the chef's own olive tree. The olives were served with delicious pita bread. Then, we enjoyed a very tasty Caesar Salad. Delicious! Hubby had the Beef Tenderloin. I had the Lamb Shank. We were stuffed after the meal and ordered our Chocolate Mousse to go. Expensive? Yes! But every bite makes it all worth it. Cafe Collage only has two servings a night: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You must treat yourself to this dining experience at least once in your life. I wish I was a professional photographer because then I would know how to capture the true essence of the decadent cuisine.

This quaint, beautiful dinning experience was amazing! Not only is the ambiance a breath of fresh air, the cuisine was delicious. I'm afraid if I don't go back soon I'll miss out on this seasons items when I wanted to try one or everything! The owner has curated the evening for each night. Reservations are required. Also ask about his cooking classes he offers! Even the bathroom is gorgeous!

I've ignored my normal rule of no 5-star reviews on only one visit. Why? Because the location of Cafe Collage is so removed from most people's travels that I believe the ability to get an amazing meal in this location is worth it's own star. So I'm in Downieville on a Saturday, and need to get some delicious food. I'm willing to drive approx. 1 hour. I'm taking a girlfriend. Frankly, I need to get away from the 8 dudes who have taken over my house for a cycling weekend. I Yelp up some locations, including going northeast to Sierraville or Loyalton or Portola, or heading west to Nevada City etc. Not gonna lie...I'm pretty pro at looking at the mapping system in Yelp (10 years Elite means I'm no fool LOL). Popping up is Cafe Collage in Oregon House. Excuse me? What? Okay...let's have a looksy. Yelpers are specific enough that I'm sold. I called and left a message to get a reservation at 6pm. Their machine lets you know that you'll only hear back from them if there's a problem. So off we go, and after a 55 minute drive, we arrive. They had our name and sat us immediately. There were a few people there already, and more continue to arrive. I think I counted 34 seats in the room we were in, and there's about 12-ish seats in another room. I was amazed at the fact that it felt both busy and serenely calm at the same time. Exactly the atmosphere you want. They have a diverse wine list with reds and whites by the glass and bottle, and to my delight, a port. We ordered up a couple of ports to peruse the menu. So many options...hard to choose. I decided on the cioppino and my girlfriend chose the moussaka. Did you catch that? Cioppino and Moussaka in Oregon House? Okay...just checking. It definitely took a little time for it to come out. We didn't care. We drank port, had another, talked to each other, and marveled at all the people coming in to fill up the restaurant. And a word on attire: this is one of the few places I've been that one would feel comfortable in their jeans and nice shirt and hiking shoes or tennis shoes (as I was in) or perking it up a little to be more dressy. Everything was okay. We got the Cioppino and Moussaka and...yum, yum, yum. I loved that the mussels were shelled for me. I'm sure that's not traditional, but I don't care. I've had enough mussel dishes that I'm telling you right now that it's a pleasure to have them pre-shelled. The flavor in the Cioppino sauce was so good...just enough spice, but not too much...and there was ahi and another fish I'm forgetting and shrimp in addition to the mussels. My girlfriend absolutely loved the Moussaka. And ps, it was big enough that she took a quarter of it home. Dessert: wasn't going to order it, because I was explodingly full, but girlfriend wanted chocolate mousse, so I couldn't sit there with nothing..I got the Meyer Lemon Sabayon. Like a light version of mousse. Oh.MY.Gawd. Soooo good. Truly. See my photos. I am telling everyone in Downieville and Sierra City, and those who make the trek up here from the bay area for cycling and fishing etc. - go through Marysville and go here. No joke. They also have a catering menu. I wish I had something leftover right now :-) Hubby is jealous so we'll be coming back together!

Beef tenderloin
Kristina E.

Hands down best restaurant on this side of the foothills. Such a unique little spot. The food is so mouth watering delicious. And I always sit by the coolest people! Its kinda got an old school sushi bar vibe, in terms of chit chatting with neighboring tables. The chef is so friendly and personable. The food leaves you thinking about what you want to try the next visit!

Ali Baba - Veggie kabob plate! Love the char on those veggies, the mushrooms dipped in the hummus or garlic sauce is a must

Ali Baba

Found another great spot on Yelp…read more This place is a kind of simple, no frills place that has GREAT food. You can see their high quality meats they display in the cold case kind of like a deli (in fact I wouldn't be surprised if this was formerly a deli). You pick chicken, beef or lamb and how you like it (shawarma / wrap, on a plate) and minutes later you are served some absolute deliciousness. If you like Mediterranean food, you will love this place. I say this as someone from SF who enjoys some of the best you can get anywhere. This place is on point and I am contemplating ordering some for delivery on day 2 of my visit!

Even a cowboy's gotta stray from the coast now and then, and when I did, I ended up at Ali Baba in…read moreChico, where the gyro plate made me feel like I'd stumbled into a Mediterranean chuckwagon dream. That lamb and beef? Thin-sliced, perfectly seasoned, with just enough crispy on the edge to make every bite count. Laid over a bed of fluffy golden rice, it was practically begging for that cool, creamy tzatziki and trust me, they didn't hold back. The hummus was rich and smooth, and the fresh chopped salad balanced out the plate like a well-packed saddlebag. But what really sealed the deal? The stellar service fast, friendly, and full of good vibes. They treat you like a regular even if it's your first time. And at just $13.99, this kind of quality and portion size feels like robbery... the good kind. So if you're wandering inland and your boots need a break, make your way to Ali Baba. Take it from the unofficial Cowboy Duke of Almost Everything on the Mendo Coast this place is the real deal. #CoastalCowboyEats #AliBabaChico #GyroGoals #MendoToChico #FlavorsWorthTheDrive #TzatzikiAndRespect #CowboyDukeApproved #LunchLikeARoyal

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Restaurant that served true Pakistani Food that is Halal…read more There actually is a difference between Pakistani and Indian dishes. While we do enjoy Indian food, it was nice to find Pakistani food. The atmosphere was clean and inviting. We ordered the food to go but shared a Falooda and also drank Chai while waiting for the food to be prepared. The Falooda was rich and creamy with just the right amount of Rosewater. The Chai and Falooda were obviously freshly made. I ordered Saag and Fish Pakora. They were both very tasty. I can only handle mild spicy and Azeem was happy to accomodate my requests. Azeem provided great service and he made a point to cook the food himself and he did a wonderful job. My husband is very picky and I was pleased to see that he thoroughly enjoyed his very spicy dishes. The Tandoori Chicken Legs were juicy, tender and well done. The Goat Karahi was also tender and cooked to perfection. The spices were perfectly used for this dish. The Naan and Rotis were fresh, soft and very tasty. Finally, we would highly recommend this restaurant especially for someone who is looking for authentic Pakistani food which is difficult to find in Yuba City.

A wonderful hidden gem for authentic Pakistani and Middle Eastern flavors…read more This restaurant serves everything from gyros and kebabs to shawarma, Chapli kebab, Shami kebab, aloo tikki, and a wide range of rich, traditional dishes. The food is flavorful, plentiful, and truly mouth-watering -- with options to spice it up if you like that extra kick. The atmosphere is quiet yet warm and welcoming, perfect for large groups, families, or even couples who want a more private dining experience. There's plenty of seating, great service, and generous combo meals that make it worth every visit. Bring your family and friends -- or just come treat yourself. There's room for everyone, and I highly recommend making this your next stop for a delicious meal.
