Virat Kohli’s One8 Commune: Where Cricket, Music, and Memories Come Together

Mumbai: Virat Kohli, who has been consistently winning on the cricket field, has now made his own identity in the world of hospitality as well. His restaurant chain, 'One8 Commune,' is present in many cities of the country today, but the outlet located in Juhu, Mumbai, is something special. This restaurant is built in the old bungalow of famous singer Kishore Kumar, where now a beautiful confluence of the old soul of music and modern lifestyle is visible.

What is the connection between Virat and Kishore Da?

In a video shared on One8 Commune's YouTube channel, Virat said that Kishore Kumar's songs have always touched him deeply. “If the wish could be fulfilled by meeting one person, it would be Kishore Da,” Kohli said. He said that Kishore da's energy and charisma have inspired him throughout his life. That's why this restaurant has been designed not just as a dining space but as a true tribute to Kishore Da.

How is the environment of the Juhu outlet?

While maintaining the old soul of the bungalow, it has been made modern and comfortable. The wooden furniture, the earthy-colored decor, and the touch of nostalgia—everything reminds me of a time when music was felt, not just heard. Virat wanted people to come here without any formality. “Even in a T-shirt and shorts, someone can come and drink coffee, relax, and talk.” This is the thinking of this place. Not as chic as a five-star hotel, but with the warm atmosphere of home.

Natural light from glass roofs, warm-colored walls, and open spaces make it very relaxing. The name of the restaurant, 'One8 Commune,' is inspired by Virat's jersey number, 18, which symbolizes his identity and team spirit.

What's special on the menu?

The menu at One8 Commune is as diverse as Virat's mind. Vegetarian, vegan, and non-veg—all types of dishes are available. According to Zomato, the average spend for two people is around ₹2,500 (excluding alcohol). The special thing is that there is a separate menu for pets too, making it one of the few pet-friendly restaurants in Mumbai.

The 'Virat's Favourites' section features dishes like tofu steak and mushroom dumplings, which reflect his vegetarian lifestyle.

'One8 Commune' spreading across the country

This brand, which started from Aerocity in Delhi, has now reached cities like Gurugram, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune, Indore, and Jaipur. Its identity is different everywhere. For example, the Bengaluru outlet near the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium reflects the cricket culture, while the Juhu one salutes the golden era of Bollywood and the legacy of Kishore Kumar.

Not just a restaurant, an experience

One8 Commune Juhu is not just a place to eat but an experience—where music, memories, and modernity breathe together. Virat Kohli proved that if there is passion and truth, even a star brand can be connected to the heart. Even outside the field, he knows how to win people's hearts.
