I recently had the pleasure of dining at Trèsind Studio in Dubai, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! From the moment I stepped into the intimate rooftop space at Nakheel Mall, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance struck a perfect balance—modern yet warm, with a lush herb garden adding a touch of nature to the sleek setting. With only 20 seats, it felt exclusive without being pretentious, and the open kitchen let me sneak a peek at the magic unfolding behind the scenes.
The 17-course degustation menu was an absolute journey through India’s diverse flavors, reimagined in the most creative ways. Each dish was a tiny masterpiece—bursting with bold spices, unexpected textures, and stunning presentation. The pani puri, served with a theatrical puff of mist, was a refreshing twist on the classic, while the tandoori chicken dumpling in curry brodo warmed my soul. I couldn’t get enough of the charred lobster tail paired with sweet corn curry—it was pure harmony on the plate. Even as a vegetarian option lover, I was blown away by how they elevated humble ingredients into something extraordinary.
The service? Flawless. The team was attentive and genuinely passionate, explaining each course with stories that made the meal feel personal. They even surprised me with a little birthday touch—a hand-painted keepsake from their resident artist, Charles—which left me grinning ear to ear. The cocktails from Papadom Botanic Bar were a highlight too, perfectly complementing the food with their inventive flair.
Trèsind Studio isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience that lingers long after the last bite. I’m already counting the days until I can return to this two-Michelin-star gem!
