When 'Indian' Wins a Michelin Star

A Great Time to Build Our Own Fine Dining

- Shivaji Dasgupta

The Dubai outpost of Tresind Studio, Indian fine dining, recently won the coveted Michelin 3-star rating. As per the official definition, exceptional cuisine ‘worth a special journey.’

For many reasons, the ‘upgrade’ path for Indian cuisine has not been easy. Unlike Western or Far Eastern cultures, high-class dining is still an in-home and not an eat-out experience. Recipes refined over generations, unlike the process-cum-produce protocols of most overseas genres. True for Udupi, Mughlai, Konkani, Bengali, Malayali, and every other entity.
