Trèsind Studio: India’s Culinary Triumph in Dubai’s Fine-Dining Scene
In the heart of Dubai’s St. Regis Gardens, Trèsind Studio has redefined Indian cuisine with a historic achievement: in May 2025, it became the world’s first three-Michelin-starred Indian restaurant, as announced by the Michelin Guide. Helmed by chef Himanshu Saini, this intimate 20-seat venue offers a 16-course tasting menu that traverses India’s regional flavors with modernist precision.
Each dish is a narrative. The pani puri, a street-food staple, is elevated with spherified yogurt and tamarind water, while the blossom chaat pairs pumpkin mash with vibrant chutneys. The open kitchen, resembling a theater stage, allows diners to witness the meticulous craft. In 2023, Trèsind Studio ranked 11th on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list, cementing its global stature.
The ambiance is understated yet elegant, with minimalist decor letting the food shine. A meal here, priced around 950 AED per person, is a splurge, but the experience—rooted in cultural heritage yet boldly innovative—justifies the cost. Reservations, often booked months ahead, are a must. For Dubai’s cosmopolitan diners, Trèsind Studio is not just a meal; it’s a pilgrimage.
