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.
