Dubai-based Passion F&B group is to bring its three-Michelin-starred brand Trèsind Indian restaurant to London, opening on Hanover Street in Mayfair.
The company currently operates the twice, three-Michelin-starred Trèsind Studio in Dubai, which opened in 2018, and the original Trèsind s that opened in 2014, also in Dubai.
Passion F&B also operates a site under the Trèsind name in Mumbai, India. Tresind Studio in Dubai became the first Indian restaurant to be awarded three Michelin stars. The fine-dining venue, led by chef Himanshu Saini, has a multi-course tasting menu highlighting seasonal ingredients and regional Indian flavours.
Originally launched in 2018 as an experimental offshoot of Tresind, the venue now operates from an exclusive 20-seat rooftop location at The Palm Jumeirah.
The London restaurant plans to offer a “new chapter in modern Indian cuisine, focusing on creativity and elegance”.
Passion F&B, which was formed 11 years ago, operates a number of concepts in Dubai and India “showcasing contemporary Indian food to a global audience”, including Avatara, Maison De Curry, Bistro Aamara, A Cappella, Nonnaverse, Viva La Goa and Gala By Tresind.
Passion F&B founder and MD, Bhupender Nath said:“Expansion is key in our strategy, and Europe is our next target alongside openings in London and Riyadh .Our strategy hinges on cultural adaptation while maintaining the essence of our culinary heritage. It’s about striking that balance between authenticity and global appeal.”
