Malaika Arora praised Arpita Khan’s new restaurant, Mercii, after launching her own health-food restaurant.

Malaika Arora recently opened her restaurant, Scarlett House, in Mumbai. Just the next day, she attended the opening of Arpita Khan’s restaurant, Mercii. Arpita, who is Arbaaz Khan’s younger sister, maintains a close bond with Malaika despite the actor’s divorce from the Bollywood diva. Malaika also took to social media to review Arpita’s new venture.

Malaika Arora took to her Instagram Story and shared an inside photo from the restaurant, featuring a performer dressed in red, dancing for entertainment. Malaika wrote, “What an awesome place and vibe.” Malaika’s appearance at the restaurant’s opening caught everyone’s attention, especially because she recently launched her own restaurant with her son Arhaan Khan.

Malaika Arora has transformed a 90-year-old Portuguese vintage bungalow in Bandra into a chic new restaurant alongside her son, Arhaan Khan. The restaurant, named Scarlett House, is set to welcome the public on December 3. According to Vogue, the space spans 2,500 square feet and retains the charm of its original structure, preserving features like beams and shuttered windows. The interiors seamlessly blend old-school aesthetics with modern design elements.

For Malaika, the project stemmed from her vision to create a space where she and her friends could relax and unwind. She told Vogue, “I wanted a space where you could just be. Without feeling like someone is yanking a chair from underneath you.” This venture marks her first collaboration with her son, Arhaan, and their shared passion for food inspired the idea. “We both love food and we love entertaining people. We’ve travelled the world together and often return with recipes we’d want to recreate at home. So, starting a restaurant felt like the most organic thing to do,” Malaika shared.

According to Vogue, the restaurant also boasts a unique Water Bar offering drinks infused with chlorophyll, manuka, and blue pea for health benefits such as stress relief and enhanced collagen. Other highlights include cold-pressed juices aimed at improving hair health and immunity and reducing bloating.

Previously, in an interview with GlobalSpa Magazine, Malaika Arora revealed her plans to launch a chain of cafes that would serve healthy and delicious food, aiming to provide nutritious options that people can enjoy without sacrificing flavour. “I am also working towards opening my chain of cafes and restaurants, focusing on food that is both healthy and delicious—the kind of food we cook at home. I want to share that with others. Beyond that, I plan to keep travelling, doing exciting shoots, and filling my life with love,” Malaika told the magazine.
