When he's not smashing records on the pitch, Virat Kohli is quietly scoring big in the culinary world. And his growing chain of resto-bars, One8 Commune, is a testament to that. After charming guests in Juhu, Delhi, Pune, and Kolkata, the brand has now found a new home in Mumbai's ever-evolving lifestyle hotspot Lower Parel.
The news was first announced on June 26, 2025, through the brand’s Instagram account with a playful caption: “Kohling soon to Lower Parel.” Now, the wait is nearly over, as One8 Commune opened its doors on July 19, 2025.
But make no mistake, this isn’t just another extension. One8 Commune’s newest outpost in Worli (Lower Parel) is a chapter of its own. Here’s inside Virat Kohli's latest outlet, where moody aesthetics come together with soulful bites.
What's inside One8 Commune in Worli, Lower Parel?
Set in a 3,800 sq ft space designed by Aayushi Malik, One8 Commune’s new home is layered with personality. From the dramatic curves to plush velvet seating, veined marble accents to aged brass finishes, the space oozes quiet luxury and intimacy.
While it lacks in windows, it makes up for with intentional lighting that creates a space that’s soft and cocooned during the day and richly cinematic by night.
As for the layout, every inch is designed for an exceptional experience. The highlight is a magnetic central bar that pulses with energy and conversation. And if you're looking to unwind, a tucked-away cigar and cocktail lounge promises slow sips and deeper chats. It's the kind of place that doesn’t shout for your attention; it earns it with mood and timelessness.
Drinks that lead the way
Anchoring this new energy is a genre-defying cocktail programme by Countertop, known for their technical brilliance and fuss-free style. It’s not about flashy flair; it’s about flavour, balance, and storytelling through every glass. Whether it’s a pre-dinner aperitif or a nightcap in the lounge, the bar menu is designed to complement the space’s fluid transition from dusk to dark.
One8 Commune, co-owned by Virat Kohli along with Vartik Tihara and Ankit Tayal, continues to redefine modern hospitality by placing people, comfort, and connection at the heart of every space they create.
