From the same team as the Trèsind stable of restaurants comes Avatara, which is changing the game when it comes to vegetarian dining in the UAE.
Much like Trèsind aims to do by elevating the global reputation of Indian food, Avatara is doing with meat-free dishes, over a 16 course tasting menu.
As with the other venues in the group, mixology is a big part of the experience.
The concept of the restaurant hinges around the health benefits of certain Indian herbs and spices, and the stories of traditional foods in different parts of the country. That theme carries on through the non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu.
The drinks include ingredients that act as an extension of the food menu, bringing the likes of chat masala, tamarind and rose into the recipes.
