Exploring the Best Indian Fine Dining Restaurant in Dubai (2 Michelin Star)
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 12. 2023
- 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?🔥
Mirazur should be one of them. Fat duck, Iris Restaurant, maybe.
I think Israel after Dubai will make sense.
Central and Iris?
Plenitude!
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.
A great way of looking at it. I wish everyone would think this way
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
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
fine dining is to be seen more like watching a show or movie or opera or music show than a meal.
Its ~400 Euro which is ~1600 Dirham you shaw on the bill
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.
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 love that too
In France after service some chefs come and sit at your table for a drink .
400 Euros for that feels like a steal compared to some of the other restaurants you’ve reviewed. Beautiful food and story.
Most of the price difference with other places is probably in serving exclusive wines.
2 Michelin? This is easily a 3 Michelin. The whole experience and presentation is profoundly unique.
Thank you
It seems they will receive their 3rd star soon, considering the incredible presentation and the fact that they rise so fast from 1 Michelin (2022) to 2 (2023).
Fair enough, hopefully 3 stars comes in 2024@@yanyuchen3532
Have you tried a 2 Michelin?
It isn't, since it is located in the most soulless, bland, disgusting place on the planet.
As an Bengali Indian and long time subscriber, I would like to thank you Alexander for exploring our cuisine. Indian cuisine is not quite prominent in fine dining culture but watching you try it and seeing its wonderful representation here fills me with joy. Keep making the wonderful videos you deliver us.👍👍
Indian food is awesome
Thank you kya hota hai bhai woh kha raha hai hum dekh rahe hai
Tortellini and Sake are definitely something that can pass on to a bougie white people as an avant-garde "Indian" food.

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!!
wrr
That rooftop garden is crazy. I am glad it worked out for him!
I'm so glad to see this menu! As a french-indian cook, seeing Indian cuisine with such fine technique excites me deeply! Thank you for you vids team alexandertheguest !
I have subscribed to you when you were having 10k subscribers. Always loved your videos and motivated me to try these restaurants one day. Being an Indian, i am really proud to see an indian restaurant. Also, the amount of enthusiasm and excitement you have for Indian food brings a smile on my face. You would definitely love India.
You're proud he went to a regime that enslaves millions of your people to show off food they'll never touch or smell? Cute country.
Good
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.
This is really different from other examples of fine dining.
Very interesting approach to it all and a lot of fun to see a review
Wow. This all looked great. Loved the look of the restaurant plus the different presentations. You notice how the owner/Chef bends down to talk to you. Humbleness. The food looked great. Love Indian food.
Out of all your videos this restaurant has now topped my list of places to visit. The conception of the menu and experience is amazing!
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.
I went here on opening night - I told the chef that this place deserves 4 stars - I’m so happy for them
4 stars is for hotels
I subscribed to you when the channel didn't have many views. I remember showing my mother all your videos (you only had three at the time). I'm so happy that you are showcasing Indian cuisine! Mom had asked me if our food would ever make it on yournc channel. Can't wait to show this to her!
Absolutely incredible!!!!! Of all of your reviews, I feel this is the one I would most like to visit. Thanks for the journey!!
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).
No, there's an Indian chef named Garima Arora who has a restaurent named Gaa in Bangkok, Thailand has also won 2 Michelin stars last year i.e. in year 2023.
There are indians chefs all over the world woth michelin stars, multiple in usa, some in uk
This is now on my list of places I have to travel too now 😊…… what a menu at an insane price point ….. excellent work Alexander per usual
Excellent review as per usual! Definitely not jealous!
It's an amazing experience. All of the Tresind locations are fantastic but this is second to none in the region. The UAE has a definite wine problem but the inventive pairing of juices, spirits and wine is amazing. They even serve and alcoholic deglazed pan sauce.
Cant get enough of your entertaining insight and superb editing, keep it up!
This is on my bucket list! Fantastic.
this was an especially brilliant made episode!! Wow!!
I've watched most of your videos, and I think this is the first time that you've ever said "I wouldn't change anything". That, in itself, must be the ultimate compliment!
It's probably because it's a different cuisine..
The best meal I had this year was at a Bengali restaurant that did a tasting menu that was 9 courses. It was incredible, quite possibly the best meal I've ever had.
Name?
@@muhaiminhussain5843 It's called Agni in Ohio. Everything was great, but the yogurt they did was incredible.
mishti doi for the win!@@BalsamicPork
Oh boy I really enjoyed this episode it’s amazing I have never imagined Indian food to be fancy
wow - what a food adventure - love all in the series, but this one surpasses !!! the visual, the food, the drinks !! amazing creations
This is so unique and inspiring ❤
Thanks for sharing.
This is a quality channel should have 1million + subscribers. I really enjoy it.
I love the way Chef came to explain the dishes, incredible!
Beautiful video. Probably best price vs quality restaurant in the whole of Dubai. Love it.
amazing food and amazing video! well done!
Awesome as always. Thank you and see you soon!
One of best story line execution i have seen in a while ❤
Absolute fantastic video!
I love all of the cups. Each one is unique but always attractive.
Sir , your passion and enthusiasm is infectious to say the least. We are so proud and happy to see a caliber such as yours to describe each and every bite with such sincerity. I applaud your knowledge and eloquence regarding the description of each dish. Bravo !!! You are a master of what you do. ❤ Please, please do not ever stop being Alexander the guest !!!
This looks so amazing! I can‘t really imagine what more they would have to do to gain a 3rd star. Like, what are the criteria that differentiate a 2 from a 3 star restaurant?
Great show and all of shows are great!
Once again, an amazing episode. I need to visit this restaurant the next time in in Dubai
Great presentation of another excellent meal Alexander - as allways 🤩
Thank you for taking us through this luxurious dinning experience. Even tho i will never in my life experience this, I,m extided for every new video.
My first comment on your channel. Been subscribed since you started the channel around 5-10k members. 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?
I'm a big fan of Indian food, and was totally exhilarated by the presentation of each dish. Incredible!
I've seen abominations in the name of Indian fine dining but the vada with kimchi is something I absolutely love. That is how you do it right and yes, I share your sentiments about the ghee roasted crab.
You have had this?
unbeatable price/quality for such a gourmet journey. Love it. Nice videos by the way.
I hope you can also review the three-michellin Sushi Saito and his sushi omakase. Love your videos! Without a question, the best CZcamsr who reviews these kinds of restaurants!
I would love to go to a restaurant like this, perhaps not in Dubai. However, seeing this chefs soul shine in such a materialistic and vacuous place as Dubai, is heartwarming. Beautiful cuisine.
Love your content. Would love to see you come back to NY and perhaps do Masa? Happy Holidays!
Awesome!!
I would like to see more of your videos on Indian Restaurants
Visiting Dubai (and its restaurants) is very high on my bucket list. Every course was appealing. Thanks for taking us along with you and Happy Holidays!
Hey Alexander, absolutely love your content and have been binge watching your videos. Your visit to Central Peru featured a wine from my village in Bolivia, Camargo. And that reminded me that in La Paz, Bolivia we have Noma's co founders second restaurant Gustu. I'd love to see you paying a visit there!
Instant click. (I'm an Indian so obviously) Live your channel!
This was beautiful to watch. I am not a big fan of Indian food, but I hope to try this one day
alex how are you able to produce so much high quality video in such short time span, this is truly incredible
Incredible, loved the presentation! Chapeau! I will drink a glass of Krug to your health. Cheers, Donald
Top notch service, an excellent experience!
keep up the good work! love your vidéos ;)
thank you! always a great restraunt and food/ wine. cheers!
THANKYOU Alexander Realllly Appreciate you Exploring our food.
Such good value ❤
Always can't wait for these to come out! Love the content! 🍾
Beautiful! Would love to try it sometime.
not the only Indian born chef with 2 stars..
Great video presentation.... 💯💯💯
I just ate here and it's the best place I've been to. Much more impressive than some of the other names in Dubai. Only a matter of time before they get their 3rd star.
I was waiting for this episode from months ❤
I love how the snacks are served separately
While not cheap it all, seemed like excellent value for the spend
Amazing ❤️
I love it!!!!
Gorgeous courses and delicious looking food.
another amazing and insightful video, keep pushing forward Alex
Hi. Respect for all your work!
Love your chanel and your love for Krug wines, just had to mention - chef Garima Arora also indian , has 2 Michelin stars now!
I love your suit Alexander :D Whoever made it it`s amazing.
Yum yum yum
Great video
Mumbai Pani Puris will die of shame seeing their middle east competition doing so well 🤣🤣. Watching the video while enjoying hot idli's with sambhar and chutney. Don't know about the food but thouroughly enjoyed the presentation.
Since that video brought me here - a non-hollow pani puri with caviar on top was one of your courses at Alchemist!
presentation of this courses is just outstanding beautiful
Cool concepts
I've come back from Dubai not to long and I wish I knew about this restaurant cause it looks absolutely amazing
Fantastic stuff
Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. My wife and I go there almost every other month.
You spend 800 euros every other month on fine dining?
@@mrgyani well first of all it’s 200 Euro per person as we don’t typically get the drinks add on and yes we are lucky enough to afford it especially since we don’t go out that often.. like everything in life you choose what you want to spend on.
@@saNy870nice response.
@ Chef Himanshu Saini 👏👏👏💯👏👏👏
Love from India
Love you,Love you for this.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Never let go of your wine obsession. Haha. I would have been interested in your pairings. Indian cuisine is an interesting pairing.
Sensational💜😯😵
Good Stuff !! being an Indian I found it very informational. Will surely visit the next time I am in Dubai. Would you recommend any good Indian restaurant in Budapest (since you are from Hungary) ?
love from INDIA
I would like to see you review Eatrenaline, part of Europa Park in Rust, Germany.
I don't understand how the 11th best restaurant this year only has 2 stars. Shouldn't it, in theory, be worse than every 3 star restaurant?
Ranked 11th by one org, 2 michelins by another.
Nope, unless the judgements were based on the number of Michelin stars a restaurant has achieved. Michelin stars are obtained through continuous dedication and high quality. Naturally, a restaurant which has been in business for longer would have more stars than a newer restaurant, Michelin starred restaurants would always be topping the lists solely due to virtue of being starred which would mean newer ones wouldn't have a chance, but they do as evident from this example. This restaurant was awarded their second Michelin star along with the 11th spot this year, who's to say they wouldn't be awarded a third?
Different organisations judge restaurants independently. They also have different metrics they judge them by. These are also governed by similar yet separate categories.
The Michelin Guide is simply the most famous and prestigious one.
I've eaten at many 2 & 3 star establishments
However some of the 3 stars are more trying to "maintain" their status than driving to reach a new level of success and a lot of 2 star restaurants are really fighting to be recognized as a 3 star restaurant...so some 2 stars in my opinion are actually better than 3 stars!!!
@@davidrosenman976 an agressive vs a defencive game 😁
Amazing
I like you already made your next reservation. Very impressive restaurant.
