Dubai, UAE

Dubai is a true melting pot of cultures, where global flavors converge and culinary innovation thrives. In a city defined by diversity and ambition, some restaurants do more than stand out, they shift your entire perception of a cuisine. Trèsind was that place for us. Though we technically did not dine at Trèsind Studio, their newly crowned three-Michelin-star sibling the experience at Trèsind was nothing short of that caliber. In fact, it was the best Indian food of our lives.

From the moment we walked in, the tone was set. The space was sleek, elegant, and inviting a fitting backdrop for what would be an unforgettable modernist Indian tasting journey. Trèsind offers two tasting options: the Signature Menu and the more elaborate Degustation Menu. Naturally, we went all in with the Degustation and we’re so glad we did.

Each course was a masterclass in creativity and technique, yet deeply rooted in tradition. Think childhood street food memories reimagined with molecular precision, rich curries lightened and layered with textural contrast, and spices used not just for heat but to evoke emotion. Every bite was a conversation between nostalgia and innovation.

What struck us most beyond the showmanship and artistry was how balanced the entire experience felt. Despite the avant-garde approach, there was nothing gimmicky. Flavors remained the star, and the hospitality was as thoughtful as the plating.
