सभी का स्वागत -All Welcome
In September, Fitzroy welcomed a new gastronomic destination to the neighbourhood as Manpreet Sekhon, owner and executive chef of Eastern Spice in Geelong, opened MASTI. A promising addition to this trendy inner-city suburb, MASTI celebrates a modern take on Indian Cuisine.
The wooden-top bar is ready to hold your drink, the textured, patterned (and extremely comforting) chairs are waiting to be kept warm and the hand-painted mural – are waiting to be part of your conversations.
Following in the footsteps of its Geelong sibling, the new venue emulates Eastern Spice’s laid back and light-hearted atmosphere. With each visit, you’ll be met by a glowing red neon sign that will set the tone for your dining experience.
Sekhon, also known in Geelong as the “Curry Queen,” will be at the helm in the kitchen and die-hard Eastern Spice fans will be pleased to see many of their favourites on the MASTI menu, including Scallop Coconut Curry, Crab Tikka and Green Chilli Naan. There is also an expanded vegan and vegetarian menu, with Chickpea Vindaloo, Honey Chilli Cauliflower, and MASTI’s soon-to-be-famous Vegan Naan featuring prominently.
Being such a unique offering, many people have been travelling to Geelong from Melbourne to visit Eastern Spice for years. Now, Melburnians no longer need to venture as far to get the Indian experience they know and love from Eastern Spice.
“For a long time people have been telling me I should open up a restaurant in Melbourne. When I finally decided to do it, it took me two years to find the right venue. I wanted it to be somewhere central, in a fun area. Somewhere that would be accepting of my progressive take on traditional Indian food, and a place that would welcome the fun cocktail list I knew I wanted to create. When I found this location in Fitzroy, I instantly felt it was the perfect place to open MASTI.” - Manpreet
