The color of this restaurant put me at ease. I could've stayed for a while if I had the time. I got the chicken gyro and lemon chicken soup. They're both delicious! And gluten free. Holy cannoli, the gluten free pita bread is phenomenal! It's not too dry like most gf breads. And most importantly, the heart of the Greek café is the staff. Two waitresses helped me. They were both genuinely kind and warm. Even though I was just getting take out a waitress brought me water while I was waiting for my order to be ready. She was so friendly! The portions are generous my lunch was huge and I'm so here for that! I feel like I could easily split that with someone. I will absolutely be coming back with friends. Thank you Greek Cafe!

This food is so good, it is the standard to be compared with. The only other time I had Persian food this good, was twice. My mom's cooking and another Persian restaurant in San Jose. If you are here you're in good, nay great hands. I know I get too poetic sometimes. But bear with me. Order any of the appetizers, and you will be superbly satisfied. The Naderi Kabob, done medium rare and Albaloo Polo (cherry rice), we're literally delectable. I didn't get a chance to take a picture. Sorry! My bad. The restaurant is at the site of N old Persian restaurant, but completely redone, and redecorated. Staff are professionally trained and service is just excellent. Can't wait to visit this place again. Come for a date, come with family. Update! Update...my second visit in just as many months, and the service and quality remain excellent.

I ordered the salmon plate, and it was flavorful and fresh. The hummus was yummy, the side salad was lightly dressed, and the salmon and rice were well flavored and filling.

This is close to where my client works and it was a good place to have a casual meeting and get some lunch. There is indoor seating, but it is a tiny space so eating outdoors is more comfortable. There's a Boba spot next-door and Starbucks is right across the parking lot in case the meeting runs long and we need our sugar/caffeine fix!

I was like "what?" And then Alberto the order taker started explaining the difference, but I cut him off. I said I already knew the difference, but they were the first to ever give the option. I was very impressed and I hadn't even had a bite yet. The service was very attentive, warm and wholly professional. The food was very reasonably priced. The portion sizes were hefty. And the best part was how good my food was. My falafel wrap was as good as it gets--but even bigger than that. The house salad that came with the wrap included a delicious dressing. Great little business in a popular shopping center with Dollar Tree and laundromat. I use the laundromat for my big blankets, and now I know where I'll go to kill time and wait. 5 stars.

We decided to come back with friends but on a Wednesday night at 6:30 instead. Sat at a table in the area where the music was but it was very loud and tightly packed with tables and guests. I could barely hear my friends due to the loud conversations, loud laughter, and just the acoustic affects in the restaurant were bad from that. We ordered steak, sides, and thought baked potatoes but got mashed instead. After we ate dinner we asked the manager if we could seat outside for dessert instead due to the loud noises around us. He brought us there but we had to wait at the bar outside till we were seated took an additional 15-20 minutes. After seated it was better than inside with a nice decor too instead. Dessert was ok service good. For such a high-ended restaurant and pricy food it's only avarage, inside decor pretty but very and tightly packed with guests and loud especially for a week day night kind of unusual, I was disappointed think it's a bit overrated sorry to say. I think Flemings, Ruth Chris, or Morton's are better food wise for the same price and dining experience and not as loud too. Think what could make it better is to thin out the crowded packed affect in the main inside dining area would help a lot too, or, if we ever go back sit outside instead I recommend. The service and staff there were very nice, friendly, and attentive and worked hard during service though. So overall raiting is a 3. Tuesday music night inside was good though think because the band is set up where tables of guests would be so less talking and guests listening to the music instead. Hope they make some changes to there inside seating there for improvements will and could help overall.

My first visit to Casalena was last night when we took a friend out for a "thank you" dinner. The…read morecriteria when choosing a place to eat was near where our friend lived, vegan options and nice ambiance. This place delivered on all three. We had a 19:00 reservation, and left Long Beach in the 17:00 hour, but a freeway emergency and lane closures down the way resulted in us being late (24 minutes) to the restaurant. However, we called the hostess while we were en route to let them know, and the restaurant sent a text message when our table was ready which let us say "we are on our way," and I sent a text through Open Table to explain the situation. When we arrived, it took a minute to find parking, but we were able to get our table without issue or attitude. Hoorah! While I am on the topic, parking can be a little tricky. Casalena does offer valet services, but we forgot to bring cashola, so elected instead to find parking on the street. It's mostly residential around the restaurant, but we were able to get a spot not too far away. We lucked out that way. We were seated right away and our server, Corey, came by to introduce himself and asked if there were any allergies or dietary preferences at the table. I mentioned that I am vegan and he told me there are several options and that "items with one lemon next to them are vegan and items with two lemons next to them can be made vegan upon request." This was wonderful news. While I had looked at the menu before we came, sometimes the in-store menus are different or have less options for vegans. Casalena does not. I was able to find a side and an entree that sounded incredibly delicious. The non-vegans with me also found delicious options. We ordered, and Corey answered further questions about the dinner special while keeping our order in his brain. How servers do that, I will never know. He brought a starter salad someone in our party ordered first, and the wine that was asked for. The ambiance is nice. Each table has a light that when touched adjusts the bulb temperature. The dining room is LOUD. Everyone was having loud conversations, but we were able to talk to each other and a semi-escalated volume and communicate fine. The energy was high and positive inside. Our food was served pretty quickly. I got the side order of home-made focaccia and the Pesto Rigatoni. Both dishes were delicious. I ate a whole side of the focaccia (we got two to share with the table,) and my pasta and felt wonderfully full, but not over-stuffed. The others in my party felt the same way. When Corey came by with a dessert menu, we chuckled and politely declined. Now, the prices for Casalena are viewable online. This sort of establishment (for me at least) is not somewhere to go regularly, but as a celebration or occasional treat, completely reasonable to splurge on. The dress code is reasonable, and there was a man in a booth nearby with a Miller Beer t-shirt on, so I think as long as you are not beach-bum casual, you will be okay. The only gripe I have is that the people waiting for the valet to bring their cars up need to clear a fucking path. I'd sprinkle them with a Spatial Awareness Dust if it existed, but other that that, the night was extremely wonderful. I managed to get a few snaps of the food, but didn't want to spoil the experience by making it content. There were a lot of people taking photos and selfies, but I didn't see anyone having their dinner through their phone's lens. So, that was refreshing. All in all, a wonderful night and I look forward to the next celebratory dinner to come back and try more of their fare!
