Rs 2 lakh champagne, Rs 8,500 pasta and a ceiling that moves: Why Arpita Khan's new restaurant is so expensive
Arpita Khan, sister of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, recently stepped into the culinary world with the launch of Mercii, a chic fine-dining restaurant located in Mumbai's posh Santacruz neighbourhood. Covering an expansive 9,000 square feet, Mercii has quickly emerged as a go-to destination for celebrities, often spotted by paparazzi enjoying the elegant setting. Apart from this, what is actually making headlines is that her restaurant sells French champagne worth Rs 2 lakh and lamb for Rs 10,000, but what makes it so expensive? Let's decode. Arpita Khan's restaurant sells champagne worth Rs 2 lakh and lamb for Rs 10,000 Mercii is co-owned by Salman's sister, Arpita, along with Ketul and Gaurav Parikh, and Anuj and Vicky Chugh of Richboyz Hospitality and Richboyz Entertainment. According to the Financial Express, the name of the restaurant 'Mercii' is a French word which means 'thank you', and the name reflects the brand's ethos of hospitality. On the other hand, Arpita restaurant also sells champagne worth Rs 2 lakh and lamb for Rs 10,000. Why does Mercii charge Rs 2 lakh for a bottle of French champagne and Rs 10,000 for lamb? Mercii's pricing goes beyond just the food and beverages; it encapsulates a full-fledged fine-dining experience. The champagne list features exclusive, high-end French imports, carefully selected for their rarity and luxury appeal. Signature dishes like the ₹10,000 Herb-Crusted Lamb Loin and the Truffle Pasta on Wheels are made with premium ingredients such as Périgord truffles and top-quality lamb, all presented with a touch of theatrical flair that enhances the overall dining journey. A dynamic ceiling that changes with time Hidden on the lower level of the Santacruz building, Mercii manages to avoid the typical basement vibe, and thanks to a stunning architectural feature that redefines the space, its ceiling. The most amazing part of the place is that the guests are treated to an ever-changing LED canopy that mimics the sky; hence, the guests do not feel enclosed. By day, it radiates a soft, golden light reminiscent of natural sunlight, creating the perfect ambience for a breezy, alfresco-style brunch, without the Mumbai heat. As evening falls, the ceiling seamlessly transitions into a moody, atmospheric skyscape, offering the charm of a Parisian rooftop under the stars. Interior is inspired by the designer Carl of Creative Clinic According to Curly Tales, Arpita once revealed that the idea of the interior came from designer Carl of Creative Clinic (Dubai). 'It helps us create a vibe… It also adds to the expanse and makes the place look more dramatic and larger than life,' she said. According to her, the ceiling of the restaurant is a theatrical ingredient of the place. Where royal elegance meets party vibes Mercii's interiors strike a unique balance between regal opulence and vibrant nightlife. Picture plush seating, ornate jharokha-inspired lighting, and cosy shamiana-style alcoves that bring to mind intimate royal gatherings. Though the menu leans heavily into European cuisine, the design reflects Arpita Khan's personal taste, a fusion of lavish charm and inviting warmth. A sleek, elongated bar acts as the visual centrepiece of the space, flanked by a dedicated DJ zone that comes alive as the evening unfolds. For guests seeking a more private experience, Mercii offers an exclusive lounge area that seats up to 30 people, complete with its own bar, so your next pour is never more than a few steps away. Meet the chef behind the magic: What's on the menu at Mercii Leading the culinary charge at Mercii is Deniss Koll, the Group Culinary Director, whose impressive resume includes experience at top-tier restaurants in Dubai. While Arpita Khan was actively involved in the search for the ideal chef, it was her partners, Ketul and Gaurav Parikh, who ultimately introduced Deniss to the team, reports Times Now. The connection came via a trusted Dubai-based chef who had previously collaborated with Deniss and vouched for his talent. A tasting session in Mumbai was all it took to confirm the choice, as Arpita put it, 'His heart and culinary skills were in the right place.' Cuisine: Elevated European with a hint of Desi tadka While Arpita Khan initially envisioned Mercii as a multi-cuisine spot, she eventually opted for a more curated approach. The result is a sophisticated menu rooted in European cuisine, subtly infused with Indian and Asian touches. One of her personal go-to dishes is the Quattro Formaggi, a rich, four-cheese pizza priced at Rs 1,100. Other pizzas on the menu range from Rs 800 to Rs 1,100, offering a more accessible indulgence. For those looking to go all out, Mercii doesn't hold back. The star attraction is the Herb-Crusted Lamb Loin, coming in at an extravagant Rs 10,000. And seafood lovers can also opt for the Teriyaki Salmon, a luxe pick at Rs 4,000. FAQs The standout feature at Mercii is its dynamic LED canopy ceiling, designed by Carl from Dubai's Creative Clinic. Q. Why are celebrities frequently spotted at Mercii, and how does that add to its pricing? Mercii has quickly turned into a hotspot for Bollywood and Tinseltown personalities; names like AP Dhillon, Bhumi Pednekar, Arbaaz Khan, and Pulkit Samrat have all dropped by within months of its opening.

Man refuses to pick up wife from airport; leaves Reddit divided over who's wrong: ‘She needs to grow up'
Going above and beyond for your significant other, while forgetting practicality, is often considered a mark of a loving relationship. However, sometimes, logistics may hold you back from expressing how much your partner means to you. Also Read | Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma live in separate rooms: Experts reveal what it really means for your relationship Recently, a man's confession about refusing to pick up his wife from the airport and asking her to meet him at the hotel instead left the internet divided over who is wrong. In a Reddit post shared on June 14, a user posted about his experience with his wife on the AmItheA***ole (AITA) community page, where people let the internet decide whether they are wrong or not. The Reddit user revealed that he and his wife were travelling to a city, and he arrived there a week earlier for work and was staying in an Airbnb. When his wife arrived later, they were supposed to shift to a hotel. So, he asked her to come to the hotel by herself, as taking an Uber to pick her up wouldn't be logical. 'She also knows the city well - we actually lived here for a year, a couple of years ago, so she's totally familiar with the airport and how to get around. I thought it made more logistical sense, but she was really upset when I suggested this. AITA for not picking her up from the airport?' he asked Reddit. Later, the man added that he had also been on business trips earlier, and his wife had never come to meet him at the airport, and he was always fine with it. Therefore, he thought it wasn't a big deal to her and scheduled a business meeting around her arrival time. Reddit users disagreed with the husband and stressed that he shouldn't have approached the situation with a practical mindset. 'NAH. You're thinking of practical logistics. She's thinking she wants to see her partner asap, and that they'd be excited to see her asap,' one user commented. Another commented, 'Neither is an a**hole, but making your spouse happy sometimes requires you to be much better than an a**hole.' A comment read, 'No one's the AH, but it's a nice gesture to meet your partner or loved one at the airport, and it shows you're excited to see them. It sounds like you're more of a practical person, and your wife sounds more romantic and sensitive.' Another said, 'Your wife's feelings are worth the extra Uber ride even if it seems unnecessary to you.' Some Reddit users supported the husband. One user wrote, 'If I have to take a taxi to meet a spouse whom I've been away from for one week, and she's coming to a place she used to live - nothing romantic about that at all. I find the wife is ridiculous.' Another commented, 'He arrived ONE week earlier - this level of emotional maintenance is not for me. I think the wife needs to grow up.' While romantic gestures are the mark of a flourishing relationship, the tug of war between practicality and emotional gestures can often lead to one or the other partner bearing the brunt of neglect. The husband's choice made logistical sense, but his wife and many Reddit users felt he overlooked the emotional value of a simple act—meeting a loved one at the airport. Neither side is entirely wrong; it's about differing expectations. Note to readers: This article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional advice.
