Virat Kohli, a name synonymous with cricket, has stepped into the culinary world, crafting a niche in Mumbai's bustling food scene with one8 Commune. Nestled in the heart of Juhu, this eatery isn't just a hub for food enthusiasts but a communal space echoing the vibrancy and diversity of the city.
At one8 Commune, every dish is a melody of flavors, thanks to the creative genius of Corporate Chef Pawan Bisht. With over a decade of experience, Bisht transforms fresh, organic ingredients into a globally inspired menu. Yet, the essence of Mumbai's eclectic tastes is profoundly captured. Whether you’re savoring the exquisite Poke Bowls, the comforting Cottage Cheese Steak with Fennel Stew, or diving into Virat’s Favorites, every bite promises a journey through diverse culinary landscapes.
Speaking of Virat’s Favourites, this special section of the menu brings a personal touch to the dining experience. Every item, from the Pearl Barley Risotto to the Avocado Tartar, is infused with Kohli’s personal preferences, offering guests an intimate culinary experience. Mushroom Googly Dimsums and other innovative dishes mirror the cricketer’s love for food that is as delightful to the palate as it is nourishing to the body.
The eatery, however, isn’t confined to exceptional dining. It’s a blend of contemporary elegance and homely comfort, inspired by the architectural charm of Mumbai and the spirited vibe of Juhu. It’s a space where rigid boundaries dissolve, promoting a fluid, connected atmosphere conducive to both casual and upscale dining.
Located at the former residence of the legendary Kishore Kumar, one8 Commune is more than a restaurant; it’s a tribute to the city’s rich cultural tapestry. The design, ambiance, and offerings are meticulously curated to reflect the city’s dynamic spirit - a place where traditional and modern elements unite, offering something for everyone.
And let’s not overlook the beverages. The bar at one8 Commune isn’t just well-stocked but is a canvas where mixology meets art. Each cocktail, from the bold Deconstructed Picante to the smooth White Chocolate Punch, is a masterpiece, promising not just a drink but an experience.
In essence, Kohli’s one8 Commune is a testament to the cricketer’s passion for bringing people together. It embodies a vision where food isn’t just a sensory delight but a medium to foster connections, celebrate diversity, and indulge in the multifaceted flavors of life. Each visit is more than a meal; it’s a harmonious blend of culinary excellence, communal warmth, and the inimitable spirit of Mumbai – a city that pulsates with energy, culture, and unsurpassed flavors from dawn till dusk.

Trèsind Mumbai is once again pushing the boundaries of Indian gastronomy with the launch of its new Degustation and Chef’s Tasting Menus, designed by Executive Chef Sarfaraz Ahmed. Known for marrying nostalgia with innovation, Trèsind’s latest offerings delve deep into the regional kitchens of India, presenting them through a lens of technique, restraint, and progressive flair.
The Degustation Menu is an elaborate 14+ course journey, available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian formats. The experience unfolds with unexpected flavour pairings—think Cacao Golgappa with Lemon Aguachile—and dishes that marry Western techniques with traditional Indian notes, like the Potato Gratin Wellington served with parmesan moilee and truffle. Highlights also include the Jackfruit Chettinad Masala with Gnocchi Vadi and the bold Maas Ka Soolah paired with Missi Roti and smoked curry.
Every dish is layered with regional memories, finishing with an inventive dessert course that features house favourites like Mulayari Paysam with black apple ice cream and a playful Paan Temaki.
For those looking for a quicker yet equally impactful experience, the Chef's Tasting Menu is a refined lunch-only option. Dishes like the Crab Cafreal with Ross Omelette, Tender Coconut and Ghee Roast with Curry Leaf Crunch, and Blue Cheese Tortellini with Nihari Curry showcase Trèsind’s signature bold approach to flavours. The Textures of Milk dessert with Yakult Ice Cream and Malai Burrata is a perfect endnote—unexpected yet nostalgic.
“These menus are rooted in memory and rediscovery,” says Chef Sarfaraz Ahmed. “We’ve leaned into lesser-used Indian ingredients and allowed them to shine. It’s familiar, yet entirely new.”
Trèsind continues to redefine modern Indian dining in the heart of BKC, offering not just meals, but stories told through flavour.

CYK Hospitalities, one of India's top F&B consulting firms, has teamed up with Emotive Ale to unveil Meerut’s newest hotspot in Civil Lines—blending global flavours with a hometown vibe. This launch is yet another successful addition to CYK’s growing portfolio of innovative dining spaces across India.
Founded by Karan Singh and Kishor Kumar, Emotive Ale isn’t just another restro-bar—it’s a bold movement that breaks away from the usual club culture and brings back soul, identity, and a community vibe to the city’s hospitality scene. Designed as a multifunctional space celebrating food, craft, and culture, Emotive Ale marks a fresh start for Meerut’s evolving taste buds.
Currently operating as a multi-cuisine restaurant and bar, Emotive Ale’s menu spans Indian, Continental, Chinese, Thai, sushi, and dim sum. Hand-rolled wood-fired pizzas made using eco-conscious methods are a highlight. The warm interiors and vibrant energy make it a perfect venue for both intimate catch-ups and grand celebrations.
The second phase of the concept will bring in an in-house microbrewery focused on seasonal craft beers, beer pairing nights, and interactive events—bringing a slice of urban craft beer culture to Meerut in CYK’s signature style.
From concept creation to operations, CYK Hospitalities led the project’s full development journey—handling menu curation, team hiring, SOP documentation, and detailed training. Their involvement was instrumental in shaping Emotive Ale into a destination that reflects both vision and precision.
"Emotive Ale is not just a restro-bar; it is a vibe," said Karan Singh, Director. Co-founder Kishor Kumar added, "CYK understood our vision from day one—they weren’t just consultants, they became co-dreamers."
Pulkit Arora, Director & Strategic Head at CYK Hospitalities, shared, "Our goal was to co-create a space that merges global palate with local roots. Emotive Ale sets the tone for what’s possible when passion meets process."
As Meerut embraces this stylish new venue, Emotive Ale sets a precedent for future homegrown hospitality ventures in tier-2 cities—proving that big-city quality and creativity can thrive anywhere with the right partnership and vision.
