Arpita Khan’s Mercii Restaurant Sparks Outrage Over Steep Prices in Mumbai

Arpita Khan Sharma’s luxury restaurant Mercii has become the talk of Mumbai after its sky-high menu prices triggered a social media storm. The Bollywood star Salman Khan’s sister, who recently launched this European fine-dining establishment in Santacruz, is now facing intense scrutiny as screenshots of the restaurant’s menu circulate online.

Arpita, known for her close ties to the film industry and recent work in celebrity circles, aimed to create a premium culinary experience with Mercii. However, the revelation that a simple European pasta dish reportedly costs nearly ₹5,000 left many netizens stunned. Social media users have also highlighted that most menu items are priced above ₹1,000, making Mercii stand out as one of Mumbai’s most prohibitively expensive celebrity-owned eateries.

While some online voices have openly trolled the extravagant pricing, others argue the restaurant is meant for an exclusive, elite clientele and caters mostly to celebrities. The social media backlash has only grown, with many calling out what they see as excessive and out-of-touch rates. The viral menu images have sparked wider debate about luxury dining and celebrity influence in Mumbai’s food scene.

With the controversy swirling, all eyes are now on how Arpita Khan Sharma and the Mercii team will respond to the mounting criticism and whether the restaurant will adjust its approach in the coming weeks.
