For the third year in a row, Orfali Bros Bistro in Dubai has claimed the top spot! Not only is it the best restaurant in the region, but it also takes the title of Best Restaurant in the UAE. That’s an impressive achievement!
Right behind it, in second place, is Tresind Studio, a stunning modern Indian restaurant located at The Palm Jumeirah. It has held onto its number two spot from last year, and with good reason. Led by the talented Chef Himanshu Saini, Tresind Studio has wowed food critics and diners alike.
A Culinary Star – Tresind Studio
This restaurant has an incredible journey. It started from a small space behind its sister restaurant, Tresind, and has now become one of the world's most renowned Indian restaurants. In less than a decade, it has gained international fame, thanks to Chef Himanshu Saini and his team's creative take on Indian cuisine.
At Tresind Studio, dining isn’t just about eating—it’s an experience. The menu takes guests on a flavorful journey through India's rich cultural and culinary heritage with 17 carefully crafted dishes. Each dish tells a story, making every bite special.
Adding to its list of achievements, Tresind Studio has earned two Michelin stars—a rare honor for an Indian restaurant! It was also ranked 13th in the world last year and was crowned the Best Restaurant in the Middle East for 2024.
