“The degustation was taking through the flavours of Indian, from the mountains to the sea. Understanding each section and what spices we can expect enticed us to want more of the food from that region in the weeks to come wherever we travelled. I will warn, there are about 15 dishes. We reduced what we had in the day in anticipation but from the final few dessert dishes, we were done. Be prepped for a lot of food.”

Compare menus. Consider à la carte: one diner preferred the lobster curry and butter chicken to the set menu.
Try lunch. Ask about the business lunch; one review reported a four-course menu at AED 180.
Arrive hungry. Allow plenty of appetite for degustation: one reviewer counted about 15 dishes before dessert.
Share restrictions. Tell the team about allergies or special requests before ordering; reviewers found them accommodating.
Save room. Leave space for dessert, especially if you want to try the paan cotton candy finale.
Try pairings. For a celebratory meal, consider wine or sparkling-tea pairings; one anniversary review enjoyed both.

The Bottom Line
Trèsind Dubai is a modern Indian fine-dining restaurant in Dubai Marina, suited to date nights, anniversaries and diners who enjoy a meal with some theatre. You can choose a degustation or set menu, order à la carte, or try the business lunch. Reviews repeatedly mention polished presentation and staff who explain each course clearly.
The food leans inventive without abandoning Indian references. Fish Patra, the Khichdi of India, butter chicken and the live chaat all receive memorable mentions, while vegan diners have a substantial plant-based selection. Some dishes are prepared at the table, and live music or a violinist has added atmosphere on certain visits.
Dessert is a real part of the experience rather than an afterthought: the paan cotton candy, filter-coffee dessert and black-lime bon bon are among the named highlights. Wine pairings, sparkling tea and mocktails also feature in reviews. There are caveats.
A few diners found the set menus uneven, one was still hungry after the tasting menu, and another called the final bill eye-wateringly expensive. If you want more control over the meal, compare the à la carte options or ask about the business lunch, reported at AED 180 in one review.
