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.

Signature dishes include:

• Matar Hummus and Lavash Chaat – a fusion of traditional hummus with Indian influences
• Parmesan Charred Broccoli – broccoli florets with a crisp Parmesan crust
• Crispy Salmon Rice – crispy rice topped with succulent salmon
• Mushroom Chai – a unique mushroom consommé presented chai-style
• Mercii Surprise – mini pita puffs filled with espuma of Indian potato and cauliflower
• Coco Lobster – Mercii’s take on a Goan favorite with Xec Xec sauce and pan-seared coconut flesh
• Crab Ravioli – succulent crab with cream cheese, tossed in a caper and cherry tomato beurre blanc

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.

Elevated Cocktails and Zero-Proof Elixirs

Beyond its exquisite cuisine, Mercii boasts a masterfully curated cocktail program blending tradition with innovation. Standout drinks include:

• Mercii Rocher – peanut butter-washed bourbon with hazelnut liqueur and bitters
• Holy Biscoff – a dessert-inspired mix of reposado tequila, white chocolate liqueur, and French vanilla
• Smoky Terrain – Talisker whisky with passion fruit and orange
• TNT – tequila, pineapple juice, star anise, and truffle oil

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).

A Vision of Hospitality and Celebration

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.
