Dubai reinvents itself anew each day. Desert-piercing skyscrapers glitter, hotels of luxury redefine hospitality, and every evening brings new opportunities to indulge in life’s finest pleasures. Even here in this city of unending aspiration, however, a restaurant that appears on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants is a big deal.
This year Trèsind Studio occupied the No 27 position on the 2025 list and received the Best Restaurant in the Middle East. To the culinary world, this is not just a list. It is a testament to vision and imagination taking shape in the heart of Dubai.
The Emergence of Dubai as a Global Dining Destination
Dubai was not so recently renowned for shopping malls and luxury resorts but barely talked of as a culinary world capital. Now nothing is farther from the truth. Michelin stars arrived in the city and along with them world-famous chefs.
Trèsind Studio’s success confirms Dubai’s new status. It is a destination where customers come not just to see the skyline but to dine world-class, equal to Paris Tokyo New York and London.
The city is now a gastronomic canvas where old and new come together and flavors of all traditions are reinvented. Trèsind Studio is the pinnacle of that evolution with a method that is both grounded in Indian tradition and decidedly modern.
A Visionary Chef and His Innovative Style
The key to Trèsind Studio’s success lies in the person of Chef Himanshu Saini. His concept of new-age Indian cuisine is far from run-of-the-mill.
He does not just view food as what one eats but as a means of storytelling. Each dish on the tasting menu is crafted to surprise delight and take customers on a journey through time and place. His latest menu Rising India celebrates India’s regions traditions and flavors remixed with cutting-edge technique and a poet’s sensibility.
Chef Saini describes his vision humbly as well as proudly. He thinks that current Indian cuisine has a space in the global world but will never compromise on its roots. That is what makes Trèsind Studio so unique. It is innovative and daring but respectful.
A Private Setting for Culinary Theater
Situated in Palm Jumeirah’s St Regis Gardens, Trèsind Studio puts on a dining experience that is one-of-a-kind in Dubai. The restaurant has seating space for just 20 people so that each visitor feels like a VIP guest to a well-rehearsed play.
The room is designed to create anticipation and intimacy. Sound, light, and service are all incorporated into the performance. Each course has its own chapter of the overall tale and guests are encouraged to live the story.
This is not a meal for the harried or distracted. It is a contemplative one that is richly rewarded with curiosity and an open mind. For those who are willing to let go Trèsind Studio provides memories that stay long after the meal is finished.
Food Storytelling on the Global Stage
Being listed on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants is no easy task. It’s a recognition that holds value within the industry a sign that a restaurant is not just great but revolutionary.
Trèsind Studio’s ranking at No 27 is a strong statement about the position of contemporary Indian cuisine in international fine dining. It is a statement that Indian dishes must be accorded the same level of respect and discovery that has long been given to French or Japanese cuisine.
The tasting menu at the restaurant is a brilliant example for this purpose. Techniques are refined ingredients are sourced thoughtfully but bold and plating is dramatic without ever being gratuitous. Every course subverts expectation while provoking emotion and encouraging the diner to view India differently.
A Team Driven by Purpose and Passion
Behind every successful restaurant are a group of passionate professionals. Passion F and B founder and CEO Bhupender Nath has played a key role in the success of Trèsind Studio. His vision of restaurants as havens of celebration memory and human connection is seen in every aspect of the experience.
Mr. Nath’s observations about the award are instructive. He calls it humbling but inspiring. Far from being the culmination of a journey for him, this award is an encouragement to climb even higher. Such an attitude of improvement is the hallmark of Trèsind Studio staff and ensures that success never becomes complacency.
The Innovation and Craft Function
What truly sets Trèsind Studio apart is that it succeeds in blending tradition and innovation. Most restaurants try the middle ground but very few do this so successfully.
Chef Saini’s team and he do homage to classic Indian preparations but reinterpret them with molecular gastronomy avant-garde presentation and multi-sensory storytelling. But the essence of each dish is unmistakably Indian. It is not fusion for the sake of fusion but a progression that respects its roots.
This approach has gained the admiration of global culinary experts. The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list is based on the votes of over 1,000 culinary trade professionals including chefs food writers and gourmets. The top ranking of Trèsind Studio is a reflection of the broad admiration by the ones nearest to the profession.
