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.
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.
Signature dishes include:
To complete the experience, the dessert menu features indulgent treats like Hazelnut Tiramisu, infused with praline and Arabica coffee, and the light yet flavorful Pavlova with shadow morels and raspberries.
Beyond its exquisite cuisine, Mercii boasts a masterfully curated cocktail program blending tradition with innovation. Standout drinks include:
For non-drinkers, Mercii offers refreshing zero-proof beverages like Mint Berry Mash (raspberry, blueberry, mint, and fizz) and Jasmine Nation (jasmine tea brewed in apple juice).
Sharing her inspiration behind Mercii, Arpita Khan Sharma says,"I wanted to create a place where every guest feels like they're stepping into a warm embrace, where the simple act of sharing a meal becomes a meaningful experience. 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."
Gaurav Parikh, Partner at Mercii, adds,"We believe Mercii is not just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of life’s moments, big and small. Our collaboration with Arpita ensures that every aspect of Mercii, from the design to the menu, reflects a shared commitment to excellence and genuine hospitality."
With its blend of exceptional cuisine, elegant ambiance, and heartfelt hospitality, Mercii has already cemented its place as Mumbai’s new must-visit fine dining destination.
Location: Mercii, 81 Crest, Linking Road, Santacruz (West), Mumbai
Cost for Two: Approx. ₹4,000 (without alcohol)

The Formula 1 weekend in Miami just got a high-powered desi twist as Rana Daggubati, Indian actor and entrepreneur, lit up the city’s nightlife with his Loca Loka tequila crew at an exclusive party that blended global glam with Indian flair.
Held during one of the most anticipated weekends on Miami’s social calendar, the event saw Rana rubbing shoulders with hip-hop legend 50 Cent, rap star Flo Rida, and Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. Photos and videos from the night captured Rana enjoying the vibe, sharing light moments and tequila shots with global icons, and enjoying a surprise performance by 50 Cent that took the energy up a notch.
Rana, co-owner of the premium tequila brand Loca Loka, was in Miami promoting the label alongside partners Anirudh Ravichander, India's music sensation and Sree Harsha Vadlamudi, a known serial entrepreneur. The Loca Loka bash became a hotspot for networking, celebration, and showcasing how Indian creativity is making waves on a global scale.
Known for fusing business with pop culture, Rana has been steadily positioning Loca Loka as a bold lifestyle brand. The F1 party was a celebration of this vision where Indian enterprise met global swagger in the heart of Miami.
From catching up backstage with 50 Cent to toasting with Flo Rida and laughing with Cuba Gooding Jr., Rana Daggubati’s Miami moment was a vivid reflection of his growing presence in the global lifestyle space.
While F1 was all about speed, for Rana and Loca Loka, it was about style, celebration, and cultural crossover, a spirited moment for Indian entrepreneurship on the world stage.

About THE Park Hotels:
THE Park Hotels – Navi Mumbai are pioneers in luxury boutique hospitality, known for their contemporary design, curated experiences, and pulse-driven energy across India’s top destinations.
Wynnd Hotels, one of NCR’s emerging hospitality names, proudly unveils The Dark Room—a striking new cafe-club concept that reintroduces the pulse of authentic nightlife to Noida. Located on the 5th floor of Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, The Dark Room is more than just a venue—it’s a vibe.
Designed for night owls, music lovers, and adventurers, The Dark Room channels the raw energy and allure of classic underground clubs. With bold black-and-red interiors and owl motifs across its walls, the space exudes an atmosphere that is both mysterious and magnetic. It’s crafted to evoke the nostalgia of a time when stepping into a club meant stepping into another world.
“The Dark Room is our response to what nightlife has lacked,” says Gaurav Sapra, Founder of The Dark Room by Wynnd Hotels. “At one point, entering a club was like entering another universe—where the lights, the music, and the people all combined to make you feel alive. That’s the vibe we’ve brought back here. It’s a place for those seeking more than a drink—they’re looking for an experience that lingers.”
The venue is open until 2:00 a.m., making it a perfect late-night haven for those looking to unwind, groove to live music, or dance through the night. At a time when much of the city’s nightlife has shifted toward quieter cafe culture, The Dark Room reclaims the essence of high-energy clubbing.
Beyond its music and ambiance, The Dark Room is also a premium dining destination. Guests can indulge in a diverse multi-cuisine menu, offering international flavours, gourmet bar food, and comfort dishes—carefully curated to pair with the club’s exotic beverage selection. The full-service bar features super-premium spirits, seasonal blends, and creative signature cocktails and mocktails.
Whether you're there for the beats, the bites, or the buzz, The Dark Room promises a return to nightlife that’s vibrant, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
