Five nights. Five reasons to book. Melbourne's best weekly dining specials at Masti Fitzroy.
Finding a genuinely great night out in Melbourne — one that combines exceptional food, real value and an atmosphere worth leaving the couch for — is harder than it should be. Most weekly specials are an afterthought. A discounted glass of wine on a slow Tuesday. A set menu that exists to fill tables, not to give diners something worth remembering.
At Masti Fitzroy, the weekly specials are built the other way around. Each night has a specific experience at its centre — a dish, a ritual, a reason to gather — and the pricing makes it accessible without making it feel cheap. Five nights a week, from $25 per person, on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, five minutes from the CBD.
Here is what each night looks like.
Five nights a week, from $25 — this is what a great Melbourne local actually looks like.
Tuesday — Vegan Curry Night & Thali Night
Every Tuesday from 5pm
Vegan Curry Night $28pp · Thali Night $28–$30pp
Tuesday at Masti runs two experiences simultaneously — which means it works for tables of mixed diners without negotiation or compromise.
The Vegan Curry Night is a rotating selection of plant-based curries served with freshly baked vegan naan — made in our live clay tandoor at 480 degrees, same char and texture as the original. The menu rotates weekly, which means regular visitors never eat the same meal twice. At $28 per person it is one of the best value vegan nights in Melbourne's inner north — and one of the only places where vegan naan is made fresh in a live tandoor rather than baked in a conventional oven.
The Thali Night — $28 to $30 per person — is the complete Indian meal experience. Dal, curry, freshly baked bread, rice, sides, accompaniments. A thali is not a tasting menu. It is a full meal served together, the way Indian food has been eaten for centuries — everything on the table at once, flavours layered and shared. For anyone new to Indian cuisine, a Tuesday thali at Masti is the right introduction. For anyone who already knows their way around an Indian menu, it is the night that reminds you why the classics became classics.
Tuesday books out. Reserve your table here.
“Great cocktails, great team and exceptional food — every dish was a winner. The naan is incredible, fresh from the tandoor. Northern is their specialty.”
Wednesday — BYO Night
Every Wednesday from 5pm
Bring your own wine, beer or spirits
Wednesday BYO at Masti is simple: bring whatever you want to drink and we will take care of everything else. No bottle limit. No questions asked.
Melbourne has a strong BYO culture — it is one of the reasons the inner north dining scene is so good. When a restaurant removes the drinks markup entirely and lets diners bring their own, the evening becomes something different. More relaxed. More personal. The bottle you have been saving for a special occasion suddenly has the right occasion.
Bring a Yering Station Pinot from the cellar. Bring a case of Asahi from the bottle shop on Smith Street. Bring the natural wine your friend recommended. Whatever you bring, it will sit alongside Curry Queen Chef Manpreet's authentic Indian menu — butter chicken built from tomatoes charred over open flame, dal that has been cooking since the previous evening, kebabs pulled from the live clay tandoor.
Wednesday BYO is the midweek dinner that feels like a weekend. Book your table here.
Thursday — Unlimited Kebabs & Beer
Every Thursday from 5pm
$59 per person · 90-minute experience
This is the night people talk about.
Ninety minutes. Unlimited kebabs from a weekly-changing menu. Unlimited Indian beer. The live clay tandoor running at 480 degrees from the moment service begins until the last skewer is pulled. Chef Manpreet's kebab menu rotates every week — seekh kebabs, Amritsari fish, chicken tikka, malai kebabs — which means the Thursday regulars are never eating the same night twice.
At $59 per person for 90 minutes of unlimited food and beer, Thursday at Masti is the best group dinner deal in Fitzroy. It works for tables of four who want a proper weeknight out. It works for groups of ten who want something more interesting than a pub. It works for anyone who has ever ordered seekh kebabs and immediately wanted more.
The kitchen does not stop until time is called. Come hungry. Book your Thursday table here.
“This is by far the best and most delicious Indian food in town. We have been coming here for three years and are sitting at the table waiting for the delicious food right now.”
Sunday — The Amritsariya Affair
Every Sunday from 5pm
$25 per person · Unlimited Chole Bhature + Lassi
Chole Bhature is one of Punjab's most beloved dishes — and one of the least-known in Melbourne's Indian restaurant scene. Chole is a rich, slow-cooked chickpea curry, deeply spiced with cumin, coriander, dried mango powder and black cardamom. Bhature is a deep-fried leavened bread, puffed and golden, torn and used to scoop the chole directly. Lassi — cold, creamy, refreshing — is the essential companion that balances the warmth of the spices.
Every Sunday from 5pm, Masti serves unlimited Chole Bhature and unlimited lassi for $25 per person. The Amritsariya Affair is named after Amritsar — the spiritual and culinary heart of Punjab, the city where this dish has been eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner for generations. It is comfort food at its most honest: one dish, made properly, served without limit.
At $25 per person it is the best value Sunday dinner in Melbourne's inner north. It is also the right answer to the question every Melbourne local faces at 4:30pm on a Sunday afternoon — what are we doing tonight?
How to make sure you get a table
Masti does not hold tables without a booking and the weekly specials — particularly Thursday unlimited kebabs and Tuesday thali — fill several days in advance during peak periods. The practical advice is straightforward: if you know which night you want, book it before the week begins.
Tuesday — book by Sunday evening for Vegan Curry Night and Thali Night
Wednesday — BYO Night books quickly from Wednesday morning onwards
Thursday — book by Tuesday for the unlimited kebabs experience, especially for groups of 6 or more
Sunday — book by Friday for the Amritsariya Affair, especially for family groups
Walk-ins are always welcome on quieter nights but cannot be guaranteed on any of the special nights listed above.
