Trèsind Studio

Dubai

Landmark, theatrical, cutting-edge Indian cuisine

The mastermind: Learning his trade at lauded New Delhi dining institution Indian Accent before moving to Dubai, chef Himanshu Saini has become the standard-bearer of modern Indian gastronomy in the UAE. After opening Trèsind in 2014 and the fantastically experimental and immersive Trèsind Studio in 2018, both to critical acclaim, he has quickly gained a reputation as one of India’s hottest culinary exports.

What’s the food like? Titled ‘Rising India, its latest tasting menu pays homage to the nation's 5,000-year history and the plurality of produce that has long stocked its larder. Dishes on the menu are grouped into areas of the subcontinent: stop at the Deccan Plateau for some tender coconut kushiyaki with hearts of palm and yuzu rasam, before later swinging by the Northern Plains and Himalayan Mountains for a course of king oyster noodles with black fungus XO sauce and shoyu of morel mushrooms.

A touch of theatre: Dining at Trèsind Studio, now located on The Palm Jumeirah, can be a dramatic experience. As you progress through the tasting menu, expect to be relocated to different areas of the restaurant, each carefully curated to match the plates in front of you. With just 20 seats available, its already intimate experience may be rapidly dialled up as the dining room plunges into darkness for a course or two.

Leading hospitality: Taking inspiration from the popular Indian phrase ‘atithi devo bhava’, directly translated as ‘the guest is god’, astute hospitality lies at the core of Trèsind Studio’s operation. Every service executed by its accomplished team is a masterclass, as they expertly manoeuvre in tandem with each meal's ever-changing scenery and ambience with relative ease.
