Mastani Resturant

Mastani Restaurant is an Indian restaurant in Fujairah city, bringing traditional Mumbai-Pune-region cooking to the UAE east coast in a clean, comfortably dressed dining room. The setting is pleasant without being polished, and the house treats the food more seriously than the surrounds would suggest. The menu runs the expected north and south Indian territory with a handful of regional specialities that set it apart from the city's other Indian kitchens. Tandoori chicken plates, Chicken Kebab and Chicken Badami are the grill-section standouts, and the butter chicken is a staple. Portions are sized generously for sharing. The signature to order after the main course is the Tandoori Chai (also known as Kadak Chai) - a proper smoky, spiced tea that is worth travelling for, and one of the defining orders in the room. Service is warm and professional, and prices sit fairly for the quality on the plate. Execution has a couple of honest caveats - the occasional dish on the tandoor can be undercooked on busier nights, and some items lean sweeter than traditional preparations - but overall the kitchen delivers a solid Indian dinner. For a comforting, proper Indian meal with a distinctive post-dinner tea, Mastani is the right choice.
