Dubai eatery gets three Michelin stars in first for Indian cuisine

An Indian restaurant in Dubai was awarded the maximum three Michelin stars Thursday, the first time the prestigious honour has been given to Indian cuisine anywhere in the world. The crowd erupted in cheers as Tresind Studio was named a three-star winner at the Michelin Guide's fourth Dubai ceremony. It also marks the first time restaurants in the United Arab Emirates received the top Michelin rating. 

Michelin guide international director called the chef a "pioneer" who had paved "the way for many more talents to join the industry in India". The eatery with just 20 seats and an open kitchen located on the Palm, Dubai's famous man-made island, said it favours ingredients locally sourced from organic and sustainable farmers in the UAE.
