Every November someone asks the same question: what are we doing for the work Christmas party? If last year was another carvery and an early night, here are a few ideas to make this one different, all easy to organise in Melbourne.
The dining room at Masti, Fitzroy
1. Swap the roast for an Indian feast
Nothing gets a table talking like shared plates. Tandoori kebabs, chaat, momos and curries arrive in the middle and everyone digs in. Masti’s shared set menus for four or more, Veg $59pp or Non-Veg $69pp, take the decision-making off your plate.
2. Bring a live tandoor to the office
For a party at your office or venue, live tandoor catering from Curry Queen Catering Co. turns dinner into the entertainment. Naan and kebabs come straight out of the clay oven while your team watches.

3. Take over a whole restaurant
Want the room to yourselves? Hire the whole of Masti for $2,999 with food for up to 60 guests, unlimited soft drinks and a house DJ. Read more in our function venue guide.
4. Make it about the drinks
Our bar mixes Indian-inspired cocktails and pours Indian single malts, wine and beer, a natural fit for an end-of-year toast.
5. Go early
A Christmas party that starts at 5pm wraps up before the trains get crowded. Ask us about our Golden Hour set menu for early sittings.

6. Look after every diet
The quickest way to win over the whole office is food everyone can eat. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are built into every Masti menu, including our gluten-free vegan naan, and our meat comes from halal-certified suppliers.
