The experience at one8 Commune is a mix of sips and bites, bold flavors and subtle nuances, bringing together exotic and familiar tastes from around the world—all in a way that feels deeply comforting yet shockingly, surprisingly healthy. The dishes are rich in flavor yet mindful of well-being, proving that indulgence and nutrition can go hand in hand.
The restaurant balances the charm of a vintage library with the ease of a contemporary social lounge. At the heart of the restaurant sits the bar—a warm, inviting anchor that mirrors the aesthetic of the space while setting the mood for convivial evenings. As far as lighting of the restaurant is concerned, a dramatic mix of pendant lights with fringe and layered lampshades have been added along with terracotta-hued flooring adding an old-world charm, anchoring the space with texture and tone.

From crisp, fresh beginnings to hearty indulgent mains, the food menu here is a journey of textures, temperatures, and bold flavour pairings. Think soft, slow-roasted meats wrapped in delicate pastry, tangy bursts of citrus against earthy grains, and plates that balance nostalgia with a modern edge. And when it comes to desserts, the story only gets sweeter. This menu celebrates decadence with a playful twist—each dessert crafted not just to satisfy, but to linger. Expect rich layers, surprising elements, and textures that melt, crackle, and crunch.

Whether it’s a delicate mille feuille that feels like a crisp whisper of chocolate and cream, or a dark fudge that sinks deep into indulgence, these are finales meant to be shared, and remembered.

Elated about the launch, Virat Kohli says, “Bringing one8 Commune to Golf Course Road is a big moment for us. Gurgaon has a bold energy—it’s modern, fast-moving, and always evolving. That’s exactly the spirit we wanted to capture with this space. From the vibe to the food, every detail is designed to bring people together and create something memorable. I can’t wait for people here to experience what we’ve built.”
As per Virat Kohli's video interview, there is one food that he doesn't like and it is karela. While he doesn't like it, as per Ayurveda karela is a nutrient-rich food that can help treat many health issues. It is suggested to drink 10-20 ml of karela juice daily to boost immunity. As per reports, Virat Kohli, known for his fitness, enjoys a variety of foods, including Chole Bhature, Rajma Chawal, and Dal Makhani with Garlic Naan, but he also focuses on a healthy diet with lean proteins and greens.
