Bollywood actor Salman Khan's sister Arpita Khan, along with her husband Aayush Sharma, has opened a luxury dining establishment named Merci in Mumbai that is generating significant buzz for its opulent aesthetic and high-end menu prices. Located in Mumbai, this upscale venue has rapidly emerged as a favored destination for both intimate couple dates and elaborate family dinners. While its grand ambiance attracts visitors, the restaurant is equally gaining attention for its premium pricing structure, where dining expenses range from several thousands to nearly two lakh rupees.
Royal Ambience and 9,000 Square Feet of Luxury Space
Designed with meticulous attention to detail, Merci boasts an exquisite interior that offers a truly regal touch. Spanning an expansive area of 9,000 square feet, every corner of the venue reflects luxury, as showcased across the official Instagram page of the restaurant. Guests visiting the establishment can indulge in a diverse culinary journey featuring both Asian and European cuisines. The menu caters to varied palates by providing an extensive selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian preparations.
₹10,000 Red Snapper and ₹8,500 Truffle Pasta
The food menu at Merci features items priced between ₹10,000 and nearly ₹2,00,000. Seafood enthusiasts have numerous options available, with prices starting from ₹4,000. Among the most exclusive offerings is the 'Salt Crust Red Snapper', priced at ₹10,000. In this elaborate preparation, a whole fish is baked inside a thick salt shell; once cooked, the crust is removed and the fish is served alongside sesame, spinach, and brown butter mango. Another highlighted dish on the menu is the 'Truffle Pasta from Wheel', which costs ₹8,500 and features spaghetti tossed in rich Perigord truffle sauce.
Exquisite Bar Collection with Champagne Up to ₹1.88 Lakh
Alongside its gourmet dishes, Merci features a sophisticated bar offering some of the finest spirits. The beverage menu includes highly exclusive options, headed by its most expensive champagne priced at ₹1,88,550. Wine connoisseurs can also explore a curated collection where red wine prices reach up to ₹1,40,000, while the white wine collection is available up to approximately ₹69,000.
Comparison with Gauri Khan's Restaurant Tori
In contrast to Merci's ultra-premium positioning, Gauri Khan's popular Mumbai restaurant Tori presents a different pricing approach. While Tori also stands as one of Mumbai's sought-after dining spots, dish prices there begin at a much more accessible starting point of ₹950. In comparison, Arpita Khan and Aayush Sharma's Merci caters strictly to the high-luxury segment of fine dining.
