Why it matters
Why Trèsind Studio is worth your time
For decades, Indian cuisine abroad was treated as cheap and familiar, however skilled the cook. This restaurant has changed that argument. In the 2025 Michelin Guide Dubai it became the first Indian restaurant in the world to earn three stars, and the same year it ranked No. 27 in The World's 50 Best Restaurants and was named the best in the Middle East.
For an Indian visitor, that result carries meaning beyond the food. It shows Indian regional cooking being judged on the same level as the world's most celebrated kitchens. It may not suit every family or budget, but it is a significant part of what Dubai's food scene now is, even for those who only read about it.

Plan your visit
How to experience it
Start with the booking itself, since tables here are in high demand. Reserve as early as the restaurant allows, and state dietary needs up front, as the set menu is built in advance and cannot be easily changed on the night. The current menu, called Rising India, is grouped by regions of the subcontinent, and the serving is designed as a performance.
Expect to be moved between different parts of the room as the evening goes on, and allow around three hours. Dress for an occasion and arrive on time. Palm Jumeirah traffic can be slow in the evening, so leave extra time for the taxi.
Vegetarians should ask directly whether a full vegetarian version is available and how the kitchen handles it. If they cannot offer one that fits your family's rules, the sister restaurant Avatara in Dubai Hills is the natural alternative, as it is built around vegetarian cooking from the start. Do not bring young children, who will find the format long.
