Mastee, Indian restaurant in Mumbai, India
Mastee is a restaurant in Mumbai, India, that serves Indian food drawing from multiple regional traditions in a modern dining room. The menu covers both familiar classics and dishes prepared with newer cooking methods, all served in a setting designed for a sit-down meal.
Mastee was founded in Mumbai with the intention of reworking classic Indian recipes using newer cooking approaches rather than simply replicating them. That original direction has shaped the menu ever since and remains the core of what the kitchen does today.
Mastee draws on cooking traditions from across India, so a single meal can move between the spice profiles of the south and the richer sauces of the north. The food feels rooted in regional memory while looking very much of the present.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends, as the restaurant can fill up quickly given its location in central Mumbai. The price level is on the higher end, so it suits those looking for a deliberate, sit-down dinner rather than a quick meal.
Rather than using a standard spice mix across the menu, the kitchen selects different spices for each individual dish, sourcing them from local Mumbai markets. This detail is not immediately visible on the plate but tends to be noticeable in the layering of flavors.
