Exploring the Best Indian Fine Dining Restaurant in Dubai (2 Michelin Star)

Today we are exploring incredible India - the customs, the culture and of course - the cuisine.
But luckily, I don’t even need to pack a bag, because we will do all this from the comfort of a rooftop restaurant in Dubai. It's called Trésind Studio and it's located in the world’s largest man made island, Palm Jumeriah. In the kitchen is chef Himanshu Saini. This year, Trésind Studio got number 11 on the World’s 50 best restaurant list and also got 2 stars in the Michelin Guide.
Here is the plan:
We start in the Thar Desert, and head down to the Deccan Plateau. From there it’s over to the Coastal Plains and Islands and then North to the Himalayas.

Before this year ends, I will upload one more video, where I will reveal my TOP 10 favorite restaurants of 2023. Any guesses which restaurants made my TOP 10?🔥

@sababaratashvili8629 6 ай бұрын

Mirazur should be one of them. Fat duck, Iris Restaurant, maybe.

Not sure but I think, at least 7 of the 10 I mentioned might make the top 10. Core by Clare Smith, Mirazur, Le Cinq, Geranium, Central, Plenitude, Piazza Duomo, Boury, DiverXo, Iris.

I normally think these restaurants are incredibly expensive for someone with my income, but for a bit more than 170 euros, and a 17 course tasting menu this actually seems reasonable. Plus you get the warm up snacks. Each course is a work of art and if you figure it is about 10 Euros each that is not too bad for a work of art even if they are small.

@andydevinewine 6 ай бұрын

A great way of looking at it. I wish everyone would think this way

@yournanshobnobs9707 6 ай бұрын

fine dining has never been about the price to portion ratio, of course there are still unreasonable prices in some places but generally you are going to experience the restaurant as a whole as well as the food. Hours upon hours are spent on preparing ingredients with such intricacy and they're high quality. The severs/serviettes, the chef coming to see you and explaining the tradition behind dishes. The experience is more than worth it

@brianlotze5830 6 ай бұрын

You are absolutely right, but your comment also highlights why fine dining is not available to those who have to worry about the cost of food. For those who can't just go to the store and buy what they want, or for whom going out to eat is a luxury that is not cost effective most of the time. I went out to eat with my family to celebrate multiple birthdays and paid over $200 dollars for six people, maybe you think that is not a lot, but on my budget that was a lot, fine dining is really not an option for many. At the same time, I'm an a photographer who photographs the natural world and sells my images and I also feel that if you look at each of these dishes as a works of art then the price paid in this particular video is actually not very much. @@yournanshobnobs9707

I love that Chef Saini prefers to crouch besides the table while talking with the customers, not having them look up just to talk to the chef, small detail but brilliant.

I was wondering why he crouched beside the table when he could have just stood to speak to Alexander.

@jarreszdarek1990 5 ай бұрын

It creates a really different atmosphere, suddenly you are putting yourself bellow the customer ready to initiate a conversation! Breaks with the image of the authoritarian chef, looking from above with arms crossed. Bonus: allows you to rest a bit after long hours in the kitchen 😅

I went here back when they had 1 star and they were actually my first foray into Fine Dining and the first Michelin starred restaurant I had ever tried in my life!! They changed my perception of what great tasting food was and it was incredible!! I went back again earlier this year after they received their 2nd star and the difference was amazing!! I've been waiting for a while for you to review this restaurant and it definitely did not disappoint!!

170 euros for 17 courses seems like an actual incredible deal for a meal this special. The wine pairing bumping the cost up to 400 seems incredibly reasonable as well. As someone who does not drink alcohol much, I really appreciated how each drink was unique and not necessarily alcoholic for each dish. If I am ever in Dubai, I will have to ensure to make a reservation.

Having spent my 20 first years of life, as an expat, in Singapore where there is very strong Indian cultural and culinary presence, it is such a pleasure to see the unbelievable food that I grew up on being represented with such emotion and finesse. Indian sauces can be as complex as the lauded Mexican mole. Anyone who has walked through the beauty of an Indian market with the stunning flower arrangements etc. will recognize the inspiration for the stunning presentation of these dishes. What an experience and the humility of the chef and his team exude India. Thank you for sharing Alexander. Hats off, as always for the incredible content.

Lucky enough to live fairly close to London (but not in it!), which has a great selection of Indian restaurants with 1 Michelin star. At last count there are 7 and I've tried 3 of them, I like seeing their take on fine dining with a cuisine most Brits have grown up with (or its Bangladeshi equivalent).

Congratulations on another amazing video and I am so glad your channel has exploded and grown so rapidly. For anyone who loves chai like me, small tip, don’t forget to let the water/milk boil up and down 3-5X to get that dark brown color. I drink chai daily but with milk unlike the one in the video. What did you think of the tea?
