Crossed the Cape Coral bridge to get to the Saturday 47th Terrace Farmer's Market followed by their annual Arts Fest down several blocks of Cape Coral Parkway and stayed to get lunch at Masala Mantra Indian Restaurant. As usual, I started with the always perfect Samosas, then, with the help of Reuban and Kemi, I chose the whole, grilled Three Spice Red Snapper. The description promised juicy fish inside and did not disappoint. Oh, but those sauces really brought it all together. That dark yellow one is a buttery coconut curry and the red sauce to the left of it was sweet and oniony, equally delicious. I highly recommend Masala Mantra, whether you order off the menu or go straight to the buffet.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The food was good, the jalfrezi was very good. There was a good mix between vegetarian and non veg dishes. They did lack any kind of veg appetizers. No samosas, pakoras, chaat etc and there was just a single seviyan/vermicelli kheer desert. Not too busy and very attentive and polite staff.

This restaurant is a whole experience. The food feels like a hug from your grandma. Like the chef poured all there love cooking in it. Now don't let the outside fool you. When you walk in the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. From the beautiful wallpaper to the lovely granite table tops. The staff are friendly and helpful. The menu's are on interactive tablets with amazing photos that clearly include the prices and ingredients.
