The New Kid in Town

May 3, 2016

I love Indian Cuisine – Northern, Southern, Vegetarian, Non-Vegetarian – I’m game.  The hodgepodge of aromas and flavors of cinnamon, cardamom, tamarind, turmeric, clove, cumin (I can go and on) produce an array of many wonderful dishes that I have become intoxicated with over the years.  Living in the Triangle, I have dined at several wonderful Indian restaurants, most of which included buffet lunches and à la carte dinners.   Then, along came Masala Wrap, located in Morrisville, NC.

I first visited the restaurant during a YELP event in March where I sampled their chicken tikka wrap, with rice & veggies and their signature Masala Fries.  Yes, I said Masala Fries!  This is a non-traditional item on their menu which makes a fantastic accompaniment to any wrap, rice or salad bowl.  And don’t forget the chutneys!   The savory garlic and masala mayo are my favorites dipping sauces for my Masala Fries.  Once you taste these fries…well, all other fries are pretty boring.

Masala is unlike any other Indian restaurant in the Triangle in that it offers a unique dining experience that does not include buffets or traditional à la carte dinners.  Masala Wrap mirrors the experience one would find in India’s open market places/street food.  They offer wraps, salad & rice bowls using quality ingredients that include proteins, vegetables, spices and chutneys in a casual dining environment.  I especially appreciate Masala’s ability to cater to vegetarians and vegans.  If you do not eat meat and/or dairy, you have options and not just one option.   If you are vegan, you have potato and chole (chick peas) as a protein option.  Vegetarians have the additional option of egg bhurji (scrambled eggs with special spices).   Masala Wrap gives special care in the preparation of their food; Meat and dairy items are never mixed with vegetarian items to respect both vegan and vegetarian diets.

Masala is located in close proximity to RTP which makes it a great place to dine in or pick up for lunch, if you have a tight schedule and can’t get away from the office for an hour.  Their lunch special is especially enticing.  It includes a ten inch wrap with a small order of Masala Fries for $5.99 (check out their Facebook page for more details).  It’s also conveniently located near Cary’s Park West Village Theatre and Morrisville’s Carmike Cinemas for a delicious pre or post movie meal.

Masala is located on 9825 F. Chapel Hill Rd. in Morrisville.    They are closed on Mondays, but are open Tuesday through Saturday at 11 am – 9:30 pm and Sundays from noon to 9pm.   You can check out Masala Wrap’s menu on their website at http://masalawrap.co/(notice it is .co and NOT .com).

I am a huge fan of lychee martini’s. @red_thest I am a huge fan of lychee martini’s.  @red_thesteakhouse in Miami makes a great one.  It pairs beautifully with their signature Four Cheese 🧀 Macaroni & Cheese.  Our waiter suggested that we add lobster 🦞 and it’s was maginifique!
I may be biased - because I am a Texan, but @visit I may be biased - because I am a Texan, but @visitsouthpadreisland restaurants make the best fried red snapper.  Here’s an excellent one from @dirtyalspelicanstation .
I can’t decide what I like more, Cocktails I can’t decide what I like more, Cocktails 🍸 or Cake 🍰? After years of driving by Maximillians Grill & Wine Bar on Chapel Hill Rd. in Cary, I finally went with my friend @ejdevita for a Taurus Celebration Dinner.  Everything was fantastic.  If you are a Martini-lover, try the Max Martini with blue cheese stuffed olives 🫒. My fellow Taurus introduced me to Martinis on the Rocks and I don’t plan to have a Martini shaken or stirred anymore.  Maximillians makes all of their gelatos and desserts in house.  If the Coconut Cake is on the menu - order it!  It’s been one month since I had a slice of this dessert and I am still dreaming about it.  The Pei Mussels are another must.  Focaccia accompanies the mussels to soak up the delicious seafood broth.  Other notable mentions are the Voodoo Of The Day and the Double Cut Pork Chop.  @maximilliansgrillandwine menu is farm to table so dishes may change.  If it’s not too hot out, grab a table on their patio.  I do recommend you make a reservation - to guarantee your spot.  Maximillians is located on 8314 Chapel Hill Rd. Cary, NC 27513.

Pure Vegan Cafe is a juice and vegan food restaura Pure Vegan Cafe is a juice and vegan food restaurant focused on using high quality, healthy ingredients to create premium juices, smoothies, and 100% vegan food. I visited their
8369 Creedmoor Rd. location in Raleigh after work last week and sampled their delicious plant-based menu items.  While I am not Vegan, I do follow a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.  Some of the food I sampled included the Banana Toast Crunch, PVC Tiki Burger, Chipotle Bowl and Novid Orange juice.  I could not stop eating the PVC Tiki Burger.  It is made of potatoes, peas, carrots and spices topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, microgreens, chipotle mayo & honee mustard.  In addition to the flavors, I like that I could see the veggies in this burger.  It wasn’t a patty of mashed or compressed vegetables.  I also enjoyed the Chipotle Bowl Salad made of romaine, black beans, avocado, quinoa, pico cashew dressing and cilantro dressing.  Do not leave @purevegancafe with out trying an order of Sweet Potato Buffalo Ranch Fries!  Make sure you bring a friend or two to sample these fries because you may end up eating the whole basket like I did 😂. Special thanks to Pure Vegan Cafe for hosting me and @bitesofbullcity for coordinating my visit.
