Why You Should Dine At These Michelin-Starred Indian Restaurants In Dubai
These Indian Restaurants In Dubai Have Michelin Stars - Here's Why You Should Visit:
1. Tresind Studio
Tresind Studio is the world's first and only Indian restaurant to win three Michelin stars. It is also one of only two Dubai restaurants to hold this coveted status at present. For many, this distinction alone is reason enough to try to score a reservation (which is far from easy). However, it is important to understand what it actually offers you as a guest. Helmed by Chef Himanshu Saini, Tresind Studio offers tasting menus that showcase reimagined regional Indian flavours. The presentation is innovative and visually striking, as it combines traditional ingredients and textures in unexpected ways. The restaurant is located on the terrace of the St. Regis Gardens at The Palm Jumeirah, thus offering a rooftop view - ideal for a luxurious dining experience.
Who should visit: Dine at Tresind Studio if you are someone who seeks out the best of the best Indian restaurants in any given destination, if you want an intimate fine dining experience (it has only 20 seats), or if you simply want to try an elevated Indian tasting menu served with theatrical flair. This Indian restaurant offers both vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare, so it caters to a wide range of food preferences. In terms of location, Tresind Studio also has an advantage since The Palm Jumeirah is a popular tourist destination in itself. So, if you get the chance to dine here, you can plan your itinerary around your visit to this locality and its various other attractions.
2. Avatara
Avatara is the world's first and only vegetarian Indian restaurant with a Michelin star. Its food famously contains no garlic or onion. Led by Chef Rahul Rana, Avatara aims to challenge stereotypes about Indian vegetarian cuisine and spotlight overlooked ingredients through its multi-course tasting menus. Like Tresind Studio, Avatara is also known for its eye-catching presentation, although it follows its own creative style. Moreover, each course comes with a fascinating story that adds depth to the experience. Avatara is located in Dubai Hills Business Park. The space has a soothing interior design, which allows the vibrant colours on plates to stand out even more.
Who should visit: Plan a meal at Avatara if you are curious to try the diverse possibilities of vegetarian Indian food. Even if you are a non-vegetarian, this can help you appreciate new dimensions of plant-based ingredients. The food here is also said to be wholesome and typically light. So, if you are seeking a multi-course tasting menu that is not overly rich or heavy, Avatara could be a good option.
3. Jamavar Dubai
Jamavar Dubai was awarded its first Michelin star in 2025. Its two other international branches - London and Doha - also hold single Michelin stars. The restaurant is helmed by Culinary Director Surender Mohan. The menu curation is inspired by the royal delicacies of Northern India and the coastal flavours of the Southern states. The glamorous interiors are enhanced by chandeliers, palatial designs and striking artwork. Jamavar is situated in downtown Dubai in the Opera District.
Who should visit: Jamavar Dubai is an excellent choice if you want an Indian restaurant with opulent interiors and indulgent delicacies. Unlike the other two restaurants on this list, Jamavar offers food a la carte too (not just tasting menus). Its location in downtown Dubai means it is close to several other popular tourist attractions such as the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, Dubai Aquarium and more. Additionally, if you are attending a show at the Dubai Opera, Jamavar offers a set lunch menu as a pre-theatre dining option, as per The Michelin Guide.

Desi Boys on the Block: Indian Boyband formed by 1D, Ariana Grande, and Ed Sheeran hitmaker to debut
In the '90s, when musician Savan Kotecha first entered the US music industry with dreams of being in a boy band, he was bluntly told that 'no girl will put an Indian guy on her wall' and he should focus on songwriting instead. 'I knew back then that was true, but I always waited for the day when it would be possible to do it,' says Kotecha. Having written hits like What Makes You Beautiful and One Thing for One Direction, God Is A Woman for Ariana Grande, Sapphire for Ed Sheeran, and many more, Kotecha has put together a boy band under his label Visva Records, along with Republic Records, and Universal Music India which may just make his doubters in the '90s change their minds. Named OutStation, the band has 5 members from across the country between the ages of 17 and 22. One member, Bhuvan Shetty, is from Udupi, Karnataka. Others include Hemang Singh from Prayagraj, Mashaal Shaikh from Goa, Kurien Sebastian, a Malayali from Delhi, and Shayan Pattem from Hyderabad. The aim was to create a band that 'feels truly Indian', says Kotecha, adding. 'I think what K-pop did right was that it got so big in South Korea that the rest of the world had to pay attention. We don't need to look to the West for validation. I want them to become a phenomenon in India first, and if it gets big enough, the West will pay attention.' Shetty was scouted through his social media profile, where he regularly covers songs with a guitar accompanying his soulful voice. Clearing a multi-round audition process, he was put in a boot camp with 11 other boys. 'The camp was pretty hectic, there was no time at all, but it was life-changing,' says Shetty. Kotecha explains its purpose, ending with 5 boys finally selected, 'We made sure we had vocal coaches and choreographers teaching them, but we also did things like go busking on the beach and start performing, getting them used to what being in a band would feel like. It was a chemistry test, but also about seeing everyone's work ethic.'

Yeh Rishta's Rahul Sharma on the power of long-running TV dramas; says ‘Infinite shows let you prove your worth'
Rahul Sharma , currently seen as Anshuman in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, opens up about the changing landscape of Indian television and how the format of a show shapes an actor's journey. 'Limited series may be the future, but infinite shows give you space to prove your talent,' Rahul shares. While acknowledging the growing popularity of short-format content, he feels these shows often don't allow actors the time to shine. 'Limited series are not always given the recognition they deserve. People don't easily notice your talent in short formats because they're not seen as hits unless they run for years.' Rahul believes that infinite shows, despite their challenges, offer greater scope for character development and audience connection. 'With longer-running shows, you have time to explore different shades, build audience attachment, and prove your place in the industry,' he explains. However, he's not dismissive of short-form storytelling. Reflecting on his own experience, Rahul adds, 'I've worked in both, like in Kaal Bhairav. Limited series can be impactful too, especially for thrillers or romance when done in seasons. They're tighter and more focused.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why So Many Texas Drivers Are Switching Insurance After Seeing This Policy Auto Pro Get Quote Undo He also points out the unpredictability of TV today. 'You just can't predict how long a show will run anymore. What starts off as an infinite show might wrap up in a few months,' he says, emphasizing the need for flexibility and strong writing. Despite the rise of OTT, Rahul is confident about television's staying power. 'TV dramas still connect with families. If the story is engaging and relatable, people will watch,' he concludes. His perspective offers a grounded look at the evolving formats while reaffirming faith in the enduring power of television.
