Tips Regarding Vegetarian Dining in Fitzroy

Dining out remains challenging for vegetarians and vegans, especially ‘foodies’ who love experiencing and experimenting. While Indian cuisine is particularly well suited for vegetarians, vegan options are more limited as many recipes include dairy. Here is some help on what to look out for and what to avoid:

  • Butterfat (Ghee). Used in many Indian recipes but not always stated on the menu. Ask your waiter to check and request a vegetable-based substitute.

  • Sides. While roti and puri are vegan-friendly, restaurant-made naan often contains yoghurt. We do have vegan naan option available, or order paratha, papadums (but ask your chef not to brush this with butter).

  • Vegetables. Certain dishes are vegan and safe for you to order – vegetable samosas or pakoras, as are many bhajis. Look for meals containing spinach (saag), lentils (dal), potato (aloo), or chickpeas (chana). Don’t order raita or paneer, which are dairy-based. For peace of mind, always ask as most kitchens are happy to accommodate you with custom dishes.

We’re as progressive in our thinking as you are and have anticipated vegan patrons’ needs, setting us apart from regular vegetarian restaurants in Fitzroy.

 

What You Can Expect from MASTI Regarding Dining Out Vegan in Fitzroy

We make your meatless and non-dairy dining a pleasure by offering:

  • A delectable vegetarian and vegan menu: look for the V (for vegetarian) and VV (for vegan). Whether you are wanting to eat more veggies or just consume a little less meat, or shift into a more whole foods plant-based lifestyle- you’ll find some good inspiration in appetizers, curries, vegetable biryani and vegan naans.

  • The choice to ‘veganise’ standard menu items: looks for VVO (vegan option) next to the non-vegan dishes you love, and we’ll replace or exchange ingredients or processes where needed.

  • Unforgettable vegan sides. While naan (made with yoghurt) is usually off-limits for vegans, you’ll be delighted with our vegan version.

If you also prefer a non-alcoholic cocktail, try one of our mocktails – an ‘Evening in Masti’, an ‘Apple Spritz’ or the tongue-twisting ‘Seed Lip Spice Sour’.
