Malaika Arora Launches Sweeney
Sweeney marks a new chapter in Mumbai’s dining scene. With this restaurant, Malaika Arora and Dhaval Udeshi bring together their shared vision of comfort-led, concept-driven dining in Khar. The space focuses on blending home-style Thai and European cuisines in a way that feels warm and approachable.
The idea behind Sweeney revolves around comfort and familiarity. It aims to recreate the feeling of eating meals that are cooked with care and meant to be shared. Instead of chasing trends, the restaurant highlights flavours that feel grounding, balanced, and deeply satisfying.

Thai And European Cuisine At This Restaurant
So, what’s on the menu? Sweeney draws inspiration from Southern and Northern Thai homes, where meals revolve around shared dishes, rice, and a natural balance of flavours. It also takes cues from Italian kitchens, where grandmothers cook slowly and generously — no show-off, just honest, comforting food made with love.
At Mumbai’s Sweeney, expect food that feels real, not staged. The focus stays on how Thai and European meals are actually cooked and enjoyed at home. Think of families sitting together, sharing dishes, and turning food into a daily ritual. So when you dine here, don’t look for drama on the plate. Instead, expect honest flavours, balanced dishes, and recipes that feel comforting yet relevant today.
Speaking about the vision behind Sweeney, Malaika Arora said, “Scarlett was about welcoming people into my home — it was intimate and deeply personal. Travel, on the other hand, has always been my passion, and when I’m away, food becomes my comfort. Sweeney is the taste of that comfort — the flavours I return to wherever I am in the world. Thai and European cuisines have always felt familiar to me, grounding and reassuring in unfamiliar places. Sweeney brings those experiences together — a second home that feels warm, instinctive, and lived-in, where you arrive hungry, stay longer than planned and leave feeling quietly looked after.”
