Authentic Indian Food in Fitzroy, Melbourne

Chef Manpreet Sekhon trained in five-star hotels across Punjab, and every dish carries that heritage. This is Indian food in Melbourne with nothing lost in translation.
Chaat, Momos, Curries from Five Regions of India, Tandoori, Indo-Chinese & Vegan Dishes Melbourne
From street-side chaat and Himalayan momos to curries spanning five regions of India — Punjab, the Mughal heartland, South India, West India, Kashmir, Goa and Bengal — plus charred tandoori meats, Indo-Chinese wok dishes, fresh breads and vibrant vegan plates, every dish at Masti is crafted for sharing and enjoyment. Whether it's a casual dinner, date night, or group gathering, expect bold, unforgettable Indian flavours in the heart of Melbourne.
Our menu brings together some of India's most loved dishes — from our signature Dal Makhani and charcoal Masti Butter Chicken to Punjabi street food favourites like papdi chaat and lamb seekh kebabs. Every dish is made from scratch using freshly ground spices and time-honoured techniques.
We're proud to be the only Indian restaurant in Melbourne serving freshly baked gluten-free vegan naan, alongside a lineup of plant-powered favourites that make Masti one of Fitzroy's best spots for vegan and vegetarian Indian dishes. This is the Indian food Melbourne has been waiting for.
Led by award-winning chef Manpreet Sekhon, the "Curry Queen," Masti is a vibrant expression of India — rich in tradition, full of character, and served in a warm, atmospheric space with exposed brick walls, moody pendant lighting, and a striking mural, creating an unforgettable dining atmosphere.
This isn’t fusion. It’s authentic Indian cuisine, unapologetically served in the heart of Fitzroy.
