Mumbai’s dining scene has a new luxury hotspot—Mercii, the latest venture by Arpita Khan Sharma in collaboration with Richboyz Entertainment. Nestled in 81 Crest, Khar, Mercii is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of European fine dining infused with heartfelt hospitality. The name itself, French for “thank you,” embodies Sharma’s vision of creating a space that exudes warmth, appreciation, and elegance.

Spread over 9,000 sq. ft., the restaurant’s interiors blend opulence with contemporary design. The space features plush seating, inviting lighting, and skylights that transition from sunlit brilliance during the day to an intimate, starlit ambience by night. For exclusive gatherings, Mercii offers a private chamber, ensuring a refined experience tailored to every occasion.

A Culinary Journey Led by Chef Dennis Koll

At the heart of Mercii’s experience is its culinary artistry, curated by Group Culinary Director Dennis Koll. Having trained under Michelin-starred chefs and worked at prestigious establishments like Burj Al Arab, Koll brings a global perspective to the menu, offering a symphony of European flavors with a creative twist.

Sharing her inspiration behind Mercii, Arpita Khan Sharma says,

Mercii is my way of extending a sincere 'thank you' to Mumbai, to every individual who walks through our doors, and to the beautiful journey that has led us here."
