Above all, Masti is chic – top-of-the-town chic!
So insanely delicious, chic!
And just out-of-this-world chic!
And best of all, it is based on a cool and chill Indian cuisine…
…the fusion of which is in the outer space of amazing culinary creations.
Masti will surprise, and Masti will delight.
The combination of ultra-chicness in the decor, of course the stellar location right at the very best end of La Mer on Dubai’s hot-spot Jumeirah Beach, and the almost circus quality of the work in the kitchen, makes for a unique and splendidly unforgettable evening of fine-dining at MASTI Cocktails & Cuisine.
The ambiance is funky, but also classy.
And the seating is eclectic, and tasteful.
But not as tasty as what’s on the menu!
The dishes are Indian in origin, recognizably so – but when they arrive to the table, they enchant with their modern twists and turns – and then you taste the first bite and you marvel at how a professional Chef can transform a dish, bringing it to another level altogether.
And it is mastery of cookery!
Above, a 48-hour slow-cooked octopus… so tender it melts in your mouth.
Below, simply Brussel Sprouts… but like you’ve never tasted them before!
Banana Leaf Branzino
A truly majestic Cassava Chaat!
Baby Squash
The good Chef is a genius; I wish I had met him to see what an Einstein of the Kitchen looks like…
Excellent mains, too – great selection of meats
And behind the bar, a Bartender as mad as the Chef!
Expansive on the gin, and at the same time also focused on the mocktails.
But always impressive, in taste as well as presentation. I would signal the Sassy Lassy.
And dessert is a work of performance art – try the Tiramisu: Italians, please move over and take a seat – this is modern Indian fusion Tiramisu!
This is Bollywood knocking the Valzer out of the ballroom.
And, unbelievably, the Chef and his team are still experimenting!
I guess that’s what creativity is all about: always pushing the boundaries. And I think still there is room to reach full potential – you see, to be truly unique, out-there, on the cutting edge, one must take risks; and despite the extremely delicious fare, I got the feeling that Masti was still preparing for take-off…
Dear Masti, I salute you – chapeau!
You have already excelled at redefining an evening of fine-dining, the foundations of which are purely and traditionally from India; and then, lured by a snake-charmers magical pots and pans and who knows what wizardry of tremendous innovation, transformed into a divine culinary experience of enchanting sight, sound, and absolutely: taste!
Keep taking those risks – never let doubt sway your intent.
Already one of Dubai’s most interesting evening dining experiences, and aiming to be not one, but the one!
