Scarlett House Juhu officially opened on Friday, August 8, 2025, introducing the city to a concept that blends the warmth of a neighbourhood hub with a modern, wellness-focused dining experience. Backed by Amit and Afsana Verma, hospitality expert Dhaval Udeshi, culinary and lifestyle icon Malaika Arora, designer Malaya Nagpal, and coffee-and-community voice Arhaan Khan, the outlet seeks to create an inviting space where people can unwind, connect, and feel at home.

Scarlett House is designed by Nyishi Parekh to reflect its surroundings while maintaining a distinct mood and story. The food philosophy is rooted in comfort and nostalgia, drawing inspiration from Malaika Arora’s own kitchen. Dishes are crafted with clean ingredients, generous use of olive oil, and an emphasis on nourishment over excess. Service is intentionally warm, and the plating has an informal, home-style feel.

At the heart of the outlet is India’s first Hydration Bar, offering flavoured waters, functional coolers, and smoothie-style blends formulated to support mood, clarity, and restoration — a direct response to the needs of contemporary lifestyles.

Afsana Verma, partner at Scarlett House, said:

“There’s a certain timelessness to the idea of comfort done well, and we saw the potential to build that into a community with real longevity at Scarlett House. From Gigi Bandra to our upcoming projects, we’re committed to creating dining experiences that stand out — not just for the food, but for the culture and community they nurture.”

Dhaval Udeshi, partner at Scarlett House & founder of Dhaval Udeshi Hospitality, added:

“Scarlett House was never about a cut-copy-paste model. It’s about creating something that reflects the people around it and the rhythm of the neighbourhood. For me, it’s about balancing design, functionality, and community needs while offering something truly distinctive.”

Malaika Arora, partner at Scarlett House, commented:

“Scarlett House feels like an extension of my own life — the way I like to eat, how I like to host, the kind of energy I seek in a space. The Hydration Bar was a passion project from the start. We wanted to create something that’s playful, functional, and perfectly in tune with how people live today.”

Scarlett House Juhu positions itself not merely as a dining spot but as a cultural and social space — one that adapts to the city’s energy while maintaining its own identity. The founders envision it as the first step in taking distinctive Indian F&B concepts beyond local borders, carrying them to a global audience with authenticity and purpose.
