The star of modern-day Indian cricket, Virat Kohli‘s restaurant chain One8 Commune, is opening its doors in Mumbai’s Lower Parel. After winning the hearts of the nation with his game, his restaurant is also the ‘king’ of good times among foodies in Delhi, Juhu, Pune, Kolkata and more.
A post from the official Instagram page of Virat Kohli gave a sneak peek into the soon-to-be viral hotspot in Lower Parel. With a Kohli-autograph signage, the much-loved restro bar features delectable dishes and an impressive spirit collection.
In the post announcing the opening, the caption said, “Mumbai, we’re back. Lower Parel, you asked and we listened. This isn’t just a new spot. It’s where mid-week plans turn into late-night laughs, where comfort food gets its groove back, and where your table always feels like the best seat in the house. Come by. Bring your people. Let’s do this the way only Mumbai knows how.”
Announcing his retirement from the test cricket format earlier this year, Virat Kohli may have disheartened some cricket fans. But his wacky new place is sure send smiles home.
The post garnered over 13000 comments in less than an hour. With appreciation and excitement buzzing through, here’s what a user said, “Post dekh kar dil ko bhutt sari sukun mil gai” (I’m at peace after seeing this post).
Fans rushed to the comment section to ask for an outlet in their city such as in Lucknow and West Bengal.
One8 Commune
One8 Commune is not just another celebrity-owned restaurant. It is co-owned by Vartik Tihara, Anshul Goel, and Ankit Tayal. The brand has eight outlets across six cities in India. Lower Parel will mark its second location in Mumbai after Juhu.
The chic decor, delectable gourmet, and gram-worthy locations are a main reason for groups to flock the place. It is rustic yet polished and adds a signature Virat Kohli touch in every outlet.
