Carnival by Trèsind is situated in DIFC / Za’abeel and offers a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience that reimagines modern Indian cuisine as a multisensory spectacle. It does not merely serve food—it stages a culinary carnival of flavors, visuals, and ambiance.

Born as a sister concept to Tresind, Carnival opened in 2016 and rapidly gained attention. It blends the gastronomic heritage of Tresind with a creative flair—taking classic Indian flavors and elevating them through provocative presentations, surprise elements (like balloons or gaseous effects), and immersive experiences.

The décor is bold and theatrical: gilded tree installations, mask-themed walls, dramatic lighting effects, and dynamic spaces. Dining takes place in spacious, high-ceilinged halls with integrated stage elements, and some menu experiences are served in special “pods” or isolated pods.

The menu is expansive and inventive: street-inspired chaat, creative starters like pumpkin bao or doritos dynamite, curated mezze, main courses such as Ceylon chicken curry, prawn rahra, butter chicken variations, and seafood with fusion twists. The signature “Carnival Experience” tasting menu is a highlight, and brunches paired with DJs enhance its social dimension.

Carnival by Trèsind is recognized in the Michelin Guide, reflecting its commitment to high standards. Its pricing lies at the upper end of the spectrum—menus often fall into the “AED 185+” range, positioning it as a premium dining destination. This restaurant is perfect for special occasions, celebrations, gourmet explorations, and those seeking a dining experience that dazzles.

Reservations are usually required, especially for weekend brunches and dinner services. The venue appeals both to food lovers and to guests seeking a dramatic and immersive culinary show.
