Mission Plaza Shopping Center — Attraction in Cathedral City

Mission Plaza is quite unlike other strip malls in Cathedral City, mostly for the variety of the businesses located here. Are you looking for flowers? Bingo, there is Silk Forest for beautiful artificial plants and arrangements and a full service florist on the other end of the mall with live and cut flowers. Need a bite to eat? You are in the right place again with a breakfast lunch cafe, Mexican, Thai, Indian, and damn good burgers all at this location. After you eat you can clean up at the barber shop or work off those extra pounds you added with a visit to ultra clean, full service...

On the NW corner of Date Palm and Gerald Ford: the India Oven restaurant is the best Indian food in the Valley. Friendly service, unbelievably good deal on the lunch specials, extensive menu for lunch and dinner. Highly recommended. Also very good is the Body Concierge, Massage and Esthetician Services. Relaxing environment, friendly massage and treatment specialists... I'm going back...

This place is super weird. It looks like a contemporary yuppie upscale version of a strip mall on the outside, but inside, the businesses feel like homey 1980s joints. It was a bit jarring, but overall a pleasant surprise. The Mexican food was good. The Indian place smelled amazing but it was packed and we didn't...
