Masti Indian Restaurant Melbourne

Brunswick Street’s answer to bold North Indian cooking skips standard takeaway shortcuts for serious heat and depth. Fitzroy diners head here for rich, chatpata seasoning and dialed-in regional gravies. The butter chicken trades sweet cream for tart tomatoes, whole cardamoms, and desi ghee. Regulars point out unexpected signatures like fig-stuffed kofta alongside slow-simmered black dal and tender lamb, all scooped up with blistered chilli naan or dairy-free vegan flatbreads straight from the tandoor. You come with friends, order Kingfisher on tap or craft cocktails, and settle into the neon-lit hum of the room.
