Cricket icon Virat Kohli has given a legendary Mumbai address a new life. Late singer Kishore Kumar’s former Juhu bungalow, Gouri Kunj, now houses Kohli’s upscale restaurant One8 Commune, which opened its doors in 2022. It has since been making headlines for its lavish menu and steep prices.

Salted and Cajun fries are priced at Rs 348 each, peri peri fries at Rs 348, and truffle fries for Rs 448.
The menu at the Juhu outlet mirrors Kohli’s vegetarian lifestyle while offering enough variety for every palate. It has seafood and plant-based alternatives. A special section, ‘Virat’s Favourites’, features dishes like tofu steak, mushroom dumplings drizzled with truffle oil, and a superfood salad.
The selection of Indian breads is diverse. Garlic bread is priced at Rs 218, cheese garlic bread at Rs 348, and khameeri roti at Rs 149.

Set amid the lanes of Juhu, the restaurant is a combination of Kohli’s modern sensibility with a tribute to Kishore Kumar, a figure the cricketer has long admired.
In a 2022 video tour with actor Manish Paul, Kohli described Kumar as “charismatic” and recalled how the space was reimagined while keeping its warmth intact. The restaurant, he said, was designed to “welcome every community,” true to its name.
The name One8 Commune nods to Kohli’s famed jersey number 18. The interiors, defined by a glass roof and sunlit ambience, carry an open, communal feel.
