Masala Mantra - The Indian Bistro in Cape Coral - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We just had an excellent meal here. The service is amazing. Really well done authentic Indian food. We loved the new tablet menu.

Our group of 6 ordered different dishes to share. Each dish was flavorful and very different, yet complimentary. The new electronic menu is well done and really helps you understand the wide assortment of dishes that are offered. The staff is friendly & helpful. Good value, great flavor, wonderful experience.

Amazing! The Staff was friendly, accommodating to my dietary restrictions and suggested the menu items I was able to indulge in! Great food great service! New favorite restaurant in Cape Coral! Thanks Masala Mantra!

Amazing food!!! I have been considering this place for a couple months now and finally decided today was the day! Ordered delivery for lunch at work and it was delicious. I got the Bullet Naan and the Aloo Gobi Masala with a side of the Tumeric Rice. Everything was great, the food was made and delivered with care. Masala Mantra definitely gained another customer!!

Adadan was our waiter he was amazing. It was my mother’s birthday he made her night! Bought her a cheesecake with a candle. Played music over the sound system ! We’ll be back! It was at the Cape Coral location!

I’ve come here twice and my experiences were great! We got the biryani, tikka masala, and one other curry that doesn’t come to mind. Not to mention, the Mango Lassi is to DIE for. Highly recommend.

Food was EXCELLENT and we thought very reasonably priced. The service was especially attentive- they obviously are working hard to ensure a great customer experience, all the way around. Glad they were open on Sunday! And thank you for the bottomless filtered water provided on our table.. truly appreciated! They were also super sweet to my 87 year old mother who was celebrating her birthday. Loved it all!

Masala Mantra is our go to for Indian food in SWFL. Everything is always amazing and the service is outstanding Anand took great care of us and paid special attention to make our daughters experience great as well. I had the lamb Tikka masala and my husband had the tandoori special both were made perfectly.

Masala Bristo is my absolute FAVORITE Indian restaurant in the area! Service is amazing and the food is delicious!!!! I would give 10 stars if I could!!!!!!!

The experience was amazing the people where very nice and would come over often to see if we needed anything. The food was served quickly and everything was delicious! Definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try a new restaurant!

This place is very good, always welcoming to anyone who comes in! Best Indian food you could ever get! I got the Tikka Masala

We have been coming to this restaurant for several years now and it by far The Best Indian food in SW Florida. The staff is extremely nice and the food is delivered promptly. Tiki Masala and Saag are our staple along with the Samosa Chat. You will not be disappointed.

The menu was diverse in offering Northern and some Southern Indian dishes. At the quality of the food was superb and flavor profiles are on point. The service is excellent and the ambiance is casual and intimate. This is definitely a place to come and enjoy a little bit of Asian culture right here in Cape Coral.

First time having Indian, and I was blown away. Probably my new favorite cuisine. I had the vindaloo ( very spicy) and it was so delicious. This will be our new spot everytime we come to town.

Food was amazing as always. Our waiter Anand was awesome as well. He made great food recommendations that did not disappoint. This is our favorite spot for Indian food. Highly recommend! We will be back very soon.

As someone with celiac disease, I have never had any issue here. Their food is fantastic. They have always told me what I could and couldn’t have with my dietary needs. Their food is amazing, the staff is always so friendly, and the restaurant is nice and cozy. I recommend this place to everyone. 10/10!

Unbelievable service and cuisine!!

It's one of my favorite places , food very yummy

I love this Indian food place. Don't miss the Mango Lassi drink and their magnificent Butter Chicken and Cauliflower. I will return a thousand times more

All 5 stars! Everything was perfect 🥰. You need to experience it before you leave this world... I had the "Jalfrezi" with lamb. The flavors were so good I forgot about all my worries, the texture on the rice and bread were world-class! The atmosphere was very good and the service exactly what you would expect in a 5 star restaurant!

Top notch people, top notch food!!! I dream of this place! Glad I can make a dream come true!

Our favorite Indian cuisine! Everything is so flavorful and service is wonderful!

Food was great, service was friendly and prompt, small and intimate but did not feel crowded. Very clean. I am vegan and had many options.

My favorite restaurant in Cape Coral! Anand and staff are amazing, outstanding service. The food is delicious and consistent each time.

I am basically from Bay area . When I visited i have tried lunch buffet here and the food is i amazing and the service is awesome..! Best indian food in Fort Myers…!

One of my favorite spots in cape, food is always delicious and staff is friendly and accommodating. I come a few time a month.

Been there today at buffet time and liked it a lot. The staff was very nice and courteous, the food quality was great and plates and cutlery clean. They didn’t even touched the spoons they gave us after asking for an extra one. The restaurants ambience was nothing groundbreaking but enough for having a nice experience. Would love to come back! Don’t know the price since i got invited but i guess it was a reasonable price

I’m from the UK,the curry capital of the world🤪 The food here is beautiful possibly the best I’ve had in years both in the UK and the US. Portions are large and the food is nicely spiced. You can specify the heat with your waiter. If I’m in the area again I’d definitely visit.

We ordered around 10 different dishes and all of them turned out to be yumm. Right spice level and wonderful flavors.. both vegetarian and meat dishes. Place is somewhat small but didn’t care cos we didn’t dine in. Service speed could be improved.

Great food! Will definitely go back.

The food was fresh. Excellent spice profiles to match the dish and heat (optionsl). The staff were lovely, patient, and attentive. There was an inviting atmosphere. It felt very calm. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. It seems to have a big take out business. Neither the location nor take out orders impacted the amazing dinner we had. A must try for sure.

So many options to choose from, but the servers can help you choose if you cant decide. I took their recommendation and was very happy with my meal !

I've never had Indian cuisine before. So, I asked my friend to take me to an Indian restaurant...and she brought me to Masala Mantra. It was one of the best meals I've ever had at a restaurant. I had the Chicken Jalfrezi with an order of Garlic Naan bread. It was sweet and savory with the just a hint of heat. It was so flavorful and satisfying. I was truly happy and smiling from how delicious I found the food to be. It was refreshing to eat food that I've never had before and feel like it was the first time I've ever tasted anything like it. You really can't compare it to anything else. It's in a class all it's own. Indian cuisine, I have to admit, will be one of my favorite type of foods. I will crave Indian cuisine for the rest of my life. It really was that enjoyable! I have to say thank you to the chefs and the staff at Masala Mantra for a truly enlightening evening of mouth watering bliss! The atmosphere was truly inviting. The restaurant is cozy and relaxed. I'll be back...soon!

Excellent meal, consistently prepared, no complaints.

Amazing food again. Service was outstanding and we were treated very well. Highly recommend.

Stopped by for our date night, food is great. Little music, quiet enough to still have a conversation. Will be back!

Ah, what a friendly atmosphere! Food is great service fast and on point. Thank you for having us.

This is a charming Bistro with beautiful decor and background Indian music. The menus are digital and interactive, but you don't have to use your own phone, they provide a tablet. They are very kind in explaining the menu items and will have your back if you have any specific dietary needs. One of our appetizers contained yogurt and when ordering my entree he asked if I was vegan. I'm vegetarian, but as most people aren't interested in the difference, I agreed and said yes. He immediately told me about the yogurt, which is great. They will work with you on spice level. The food is fantastic. We tried the coolest appetizer that involved pouring a seasoning shot into a small edible bowl filled with onion and potato. It was so good.

Open and clean local Indian restaurant. Good food at adorable prices

Good Indian food in a roomy, clean space. Buffet lunch Fri-Sun from $14.99/$16.99 is a good way to sample and try this place out. For dinner, Lamb Briyani is good chicken tikka masala solid go-to. Naan is a must. Several veggie options. They do a robust take out business. Service is fast and friendly, you order, they serve you food and they just leave you be, until the check.......oh and the paying the check, I'm not a fan of settling the bill and adding the tip using one of those point of sale devices with the waiter standing at the table hovering over you. That's just me. Overall, decent portions, fairly priced. Would go back and take friends. Update 6/18/24: been back multiple times, consistently good, food has been tasty each time, service is good and the dining room is clean and comfortable, and the prices won't drain your wallet. Alot of door dashers roll in and out, but that's a testament to their vibrant dine-away business, they even solved the POS paying process that irked me. I give it thumbs up and will go back.

Just amazing. The food was good, great atmosphere and wonderful service. Even tho they were packed for Father’s Day they were friendly and on the ball.

The waiters were very personable, and the food here exceeded my expectations for average Indian cuisine.

We often order takeout from Masala Mantra, but I have brought friends here as well, it's great food. Not cheap, but yummy! Atmosphere: they do the best they can, given it's in a strip mall. They will probably want a larger place eventually, they definitely have the popularity to support that!

I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, this is the best Indian food i’ve had in a long, long time! I have picked up takeout twice in the past month here and I will keep ordering! The staff is always welcoming and attentive, as soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted and asked how you may be assisted. Their naan is to die for! So soft and the perfect taste of being baked in a clay oven. Did I mention it’s affordable? 10/10 recommend trying Masala Mantra the next time you get a craving for some good Indian food.

I highly recommend this restaurant to experience authentic taste from India. I have tried several restaurants but Masala Mantra stands out. I live in Orlando, but will make sure to visit with family every time when I make a road trip passing by this location. I went with my family last weekend on Memorial Day. I was amazed with the service and the food taste and quality. Special mention to Mr. Ruben and Mr. Vedh for their great hospitality and care, that made our lunch a memorable one. Thank you!

I love the Indian food and the amazing service of this place. Today my family was helped by Vedh and he was really helpful and even gave tips about which dishes were less spicy so we could make a better choose for us. I truly recommend this place and I’ll come back surely.

It’s hard to explain how amazing this food is. Every bite is joyful and perfectly prepared. We are always welcomed with a smile and enjoy coming here very much. Highly recommend.

The flavors are wonderful!! The staff is warm and always great to see. We've been looking for an authentic Indian restaurant and we're so happy we found Masala Mantra!! 🙂👍

food - off the charts good service - incredible, taking time to help educate and inform! great atmosphere and we shall return soon!

We had delivery. The food was outstanding!

We love this place. Everything is fresh and tasteful. My wife is vegan and has lots of meals to choose from. The buffet is outstanding. The people are very friendly and nice. We are coming back, again and again and again -:)

Best Indian food that I’ve had. Definitely a place I highly recommend to family and friends. The food was delicious with a perfect ambiance.

There was a mistake with our door dash order, and the owner made it right by delivering the correct order personally. The food was delicious, well made, and satisfying.

Best Indian food in Florida Excellent service too. This is our favorite restaurant when we visit Cape Coral.

This was our first time eating here on Mother's Day. Great buffet. Sorry, I don't know what's on the menu.

First time! Will be back for sure. Food is delicious (chef's kiss), and quick to the table. Service is quick. Staff are very friendly.

Food quality was excellent and Ruben is the kindest server I've met!

By far the best Indian food I’ve ever had .and the best service. You can’t beat their lunch buffet Reuben is the best!

This is the absolute best Indian restaurant. We often order here for dinner parties at our house and everyone always raves about the Manchurian cauliflower; it's a must order every time. We usually order the goat biriyani, chana masala and garlic naan also. I've never had a bad meal here. We will continue to support in hopes they stay for many years to come!

first time we tried this place it was awesome. second time they forgot items in our order. super frustrating. wont be ordering from them again

Great food and friendly service!

My husband and I have been raving about this place. We’re pretty familiar with Indian cuisine and think this is one of the best restaurants we’ve been to. Our favorite dish was the appetizer of samosas served with Chana masala. The naan here is so good as well. We plan on returning for the lunch buffet so we can sample some of the dishes we haven’t tried. Finally, the waitstaff and ambiance were very good as well.

This was our first time here but it will not be our last. The restaurant was very clean with plenty of space between tables. The staff was welcoming, friendly and attentive. We were a party of three and all enjoyed our meals. We had chicken curry, the vegan dish and chicken tikka. Each was perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. No one left hungry. A great experience!

Amazing delicious food always a great spot

Best I've had in SWFL! Garlic naan, tikka masala, Rogan Josh, biriyani all worth ordering.

i never had indian dishes, recommend Sunday buffet to sample everything to see what you like

Pleasantly surprised by everything. The food, the service, the presentation of the food, amazing. Will definitely return!

Delicious indian food. Mutton biriyani is the best and highly recommended for anyone who loves biriyani.

Great Indian food, and over the top service. Large and varied menu of great dishes.

Wonderful restaurant in every way! We’ve gone many times and always try different dishes that continue to exceed our expectations. The service and atmosphere complete the experience, we’ll be back any time we’re in the area.

I visited here with my family and in-laws. Masala Mantra stands out as a culinary haven, offering an unforgettable dining experience that tantalizes the senses.

With exceptional service and an extensive menu, Masala Mantra is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an authentic taste of India.

Excellent quality, an asset in the city, these spices range from mild to hot 🌶️

Wow so this had the potential to be stellar but the vindaloo tried to murder me. Like “eat this and get your name on the wall” hot. As someone who eats this dish really often wow this might have been one of the hottest I’ve ever had. So if that’s your jam, here’s your match. I was disappointed they forgot my pappadum I ordered and paid for but I was not driving all the way back for it. The place looks beautiful and spotless inside but I ordered this takeout. If I die know I went out doing something I loved.

The food here was fantastic. My friend and I got two different meals, one was vegan, and we shared them. We had a wonderful lunch and had plenty left over for another meal. Our server was excellent and very helpful. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and tight, but it's worth the inconvenience for such great food.

The service was so bad and even the food isn’t the same I was so unhappy 👎

Super Indian food server very friendly and always concern about how we like our experience A place to try definitely will come back

Excellent service and food! Highly recommend

My husband and I first time and we found one of our new favorite restaurants. The food, the service, the politeness, the atmosphere… everything was perfect. Can’t wait to come back.

Only Indian lunch buffet in the Cape, and well worth the low price

I enjoy going to this place as they have a buffet and have vegetarian options. The staff is usually friendly. I have been going less because I'm concerned about the turtle in their aquarium. Turtles need to go on shore and out of the water to rest. They are animals with lungs not gills. I think their aquarium has no spot where the turtle can get out of the water and relax. So it pains me to see it constantly swimming and then swimming to the top and getting air. I suggest they research how to properly keep turtles because I feel bad for it.

First-time fabulous food. All my plates came out tender tasty. I will be there again for a buffet Sundays from 11 tilt 2:30pm #argeniusbiz if you follow me, you thank me.

My boyfriend loves spicy food and I introduced him to Masala Mantra this evening, he absolutely loved it. I've been a fan of Masala Mantra for years and have yet to be disappointed. He had the Rogan Josh, which I don't think I've ever had, it was delicious. And I went with my favorite, Korma Chicken with lemon rice. The Naan was tasty as always, we had the garlic naan and the kashmiri naan. And of course Samosa Chat for an appetizer. So tasty, so much flavor, he even loved the chickpeas which he usually doesn't like. Ruban was our server. He was very attentive without hovering over us. Will certainly be back for the buffet too!

Absolutely fantastic food. Service is excellent. They have a great menu.

We are travelling from Texas and we have eaten at multiple Indian restaurants in Florida. This restaurants food was OK at best. We ordered food for 8 people and the food did not have much flavor or any type of spice at all. The food was cold and not good. The guy on the phone said the food would take 15 mins to be ready. The only way you can have 8 people’s food which includes grill items to be ready in 15 minutes is if the food was not fresh. We ended up wasting most of the food. Highly disappointed.

Absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back.

Great food. The waiter made excellent recommendations.

Had a great dinner here. We shared a combination (chicken, shrimp, lamb) tikka masala and tandoor shrimp and it was delicious and we were given generous portions. The service was quick and friendly. We are looking forward to trying the lunch buffet!

Love love love! And great vegan options

We felt very welcomed and were sat down right away for the dinner. Waiter was super nice and answered all the questions we had. When we got the food it was everything we expected. We even tried desert even when we were full from the main entrée. The restaurant itself was super clean, even the bathroom looked nice. I am definitely coming back to the restaurant for more and recommending it.

Exceeded our expectations. Very clean. Friendly and professional staff. Great food selection. We loved the samosas, butter chicken and tikki masala. The Naan is the best I have ever eaten.

The Tikka Masala was amazingly rich in flavor! Cheese naan was great, as well.

Simply great food and service!! We are coming back every year since 3 years. Now 4 years, and still great!!!

Impressive menu! Fish Molly was delightful. Loved the Butter Shrimp, and Naan. Tadoori chicken was cooked perfectly. I have been to India 6x and the Mango Lassi was the best I have ever had. Great service also.

I had the Lunch Buffet. It was plentiful, delicious, all areas were clean, and the food was satisfying. The service staff were very kind, helpful, and answered any questions that I had. Restaurant has a Bar inside with adult beverages available as well, if you like..

My favorite restaurant! The food is always delicious and packed with so much flavor. I love ordering their vegan masala chai every time👌🏾The service and staff are absolutely amazing. Ruban is the best! Very friendly and attentive. And he always remembers to add my military discount. This restaurant is a must go to. You will not be disappointed.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good help on the menu for those not familiar with thus cuisine

First Time Here and Had the Lunch Buffet. Absolutely delicious and loved especially the vegetarian options. A MUST was the “Mango Lassi”, this beverage is so complimentary to every dish.

We went here for dinner and had an amazing experience! The food was delicious and our server was super attentive. Refilled our drinks consistently and gave us lots of recommendations and guidance as it was our first time there. This food was really authentic and tasted so good!

Excellent food and service. Top restaurant of the area. Highly recommend!
