We had the chance to try the business lunch and it was really good. If you want to try an Indian restaurant with some modern twist and perfect service then this is the place. The only thing I can say is the dessert is not at the same level, I would recommend working on better desserts, it was the only thing that was not great. Also the price for the menu was around 170aed with all taxes, they display prices with no taxes so be aware of that. Bottle of water was 50aed before taxes, never seen a water that expensive even in more expensive restaurants.

I decided to try out Tresind after trying out some of their sister restaurants (Avatara and Tresind Studio). Tresind to me felt more like a casual restaurant versus being a fine dining place. Before going, I had heard mixed reviews of this place and I’d say that those reviews are justified.

We went with the Chef Degustation menu which is the 14 course meal (there is also a smaller 10 course menu called Chef Tasting Menu). There is also an exhaustive a la carte menu if you’d like to go that route. While the dishes were decent in the Degustation menu, I didn’t feel blown away by any particular course/dish like I was at Tresind Studio or Avatara. Overall, the dishes felt like that of a decent Indian restaurant, but not value of money given the price point of the degustation menu. The Degustation menu is quite filling though as there is sort of a sugar and carb overload towards the end. All in all, I really did not feel that the meal was value for money. Maybe going a la carte is a better choice here in my opinion.

For drinks, we went with a few mocktails which were ok. Again, nothing great, but nothing bad too. The mocktails also seemed a bit higher priced too (versus a couple of other Michelin star places in DXB).

Service was average to slightly below average. Many little things contributed to this judgment, the major being the almost 30 min wait between the last main course and the first dessert. The one good thing I’d say is that the manager of restaurant checked in a couple of times to see if we were having a nice time.

Overall, while this is decent restaurant in terms of food, I am not very sure of it as a must visit place in Dubai as there are better choices/options. I just feel that if you’ve visited other popular Michelin guide/star places in DXB, this establishment may be a disappointment. A visit to Avatara and Tresind Studio should be your preferred choice for trying Indian fine dining in DXB.
