CULINARY COUP

Indian cuisine is having a moment with Chef Himanshu Saini's Trèsind Studio, Dubai, making it to 11th place in the World's 50 Best Restaurants list

"I don't call it modern Indian cuisine anymore. If people outside India don't know what authentic Indian food is, how can we narrate our story?" says chef Himanshu Saini. Riding high off Trèsind Studio's win on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, it has been a great streak for the chef, including recognition in Dubai's Michelin Guide, MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list, etc.

Keen to put India on the world culinary map, Saini is keener on doing it right. Eager to replace the greasy image of curries with a refined gourmet touch, he goes the extra mile to juxtapose tradition and technique. The culmination is a two-hour immersive degustation experience that promises seasonal produce and a redefined perception of Indian food.
