one8 Commune, the popular dining brand owned by cricket icon Virat Kohli, has made a grand entrance into Mohali with the opening of its tenth outlet. This latest addition to the heartland of Punjab spans an impressive 7,700 square feet, offering both indoor and outdoor dining spaces that promise to elevate the local culinary scene.
Designed with warm and welcoming interiors, the Mohali outlet perfectly embodies the essence of one8 Commune. The space features rich textures and thoughtful details that reflect the lively spirit of the brand, creating an inviting atmosphere where guests can feel instantly at home. The establishment's design draws inspiration from the charm of European streets, with stone-clad walls, textured finishes, and charming faux windows and balconies that transport guests to a European avenue.
A standout feature of the new outlet is the sixteen-foot-high bar, which serves as the heart of the space. Crafted from polished wood and luxurious Italian marble, and adorned with antique mirrors, the bar exudes opulence while maintaining a relaxed ambiance. Large sliding windows open to a terrace brimming with greenery, providing a serene outdoor retreat that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The beverage menu, curated by head mixologist Jenu Sunny, explores a world of refreshing signature cocktails, each telling its own unique story. Highlights include the Garden Party, a delicate gin-based cocktail infused with elderflower syrup and tonic water, and the Malabari Nannari, which combines vanilla-infused vodka with the earthy sweetness of nannari syrup and the spice of ginger beer. For those seeking a playful twist, Pop the Corn offers an interesting blend of vanilla vodka and Aperol, balancing buttery popcorn notes with a zesty touch of acidity.
Virat Kohli, the founder of one8 Commune, shared his excitement about the new venture, stating, "Opening one8 Commune in Mohali feels close to my heart because it brings me closer to my roots. The vibrancy of the city and its rich culture are a big part of who I am. This new venture is not just about introducing our communing experience; it's about celebrating the energy and flavours of Punjab, which have always been special to me. I’m really excited for everyone to be a part of this journey and experience the spirit of Punjab, brought to life in a way that’s truly one8 Commune."
With its unique blend of charm, character, and culinary excellence, one8 Commune’s new Mohali outlet is set to become a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a dining experience that is both memorable and distinctly reflective of Punjab's vibrant culture.

Planning a celebration should be a source of joy, not stress. However, with so many details to manage, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Whether you're hosting a birthday party, an anniversary gathering, or a corporate event, the key to success lies in meticulous planning. Here’s your step-by-step guide to organizing a memorable and stress-free celebration.
Every great party starts with a clear vision. Define the purpose of your event—is it a casual get-together, a milestone celebration, or a corporate gathering? This helps shape decisions regarding the venue, decor, and menu.
Budget & Guest List: Set a realistic budget and allocate funds wisely. A well-defined guest list ensures the right venue size and adequate food and drinks.
Timeline & Invitations: Work backward from the event date to create a schedule. Send out invitations early, book vendors in advance, and finalize menus ahead of time.
A well-planned menu enhances the guest experience. Keep these factors in mind:
Diverse Menu: Offer a mix of vegetarian, non-vegetarian, and dietary-friendly options.
Signature Drinks: Create a unique cocktail or mocktail for a special touch.
Presentation & Hygiene: Use elegant plating, fresh garnishes, and maintain proper food safety standards.
Ambience is key to making your party feel special. Tailor the decor, lighting, and music to match the event’s vibe.
Anniversaries: Warm, dim lighting with romantic music (jazz or piano).
Birthdays: Colorful LED lighting with upbeat pop or Bollywood hits.
Corporate Events: Neutral lighting with soft instrumental music.
A party is only as good as its entertainment. Choose activities that align with your event:
Birthdays: DJs, photobooths, and games like bingo or karaoke.
Anniversaries: Live singers or a string quartet for a classy feel.
Family Gatherings: Fun elements like a live cooking station or a magician for kids.
Ensure ample seating, accessible refreshments, and clean restrooms.
Consider hiring service staff so you can focus on hosting.
Have a post-party cleanup plan in place—trash bags, cleaning supplies, or a cleaning crew.
A simple thank-you message to guests adds a thoughtful finishing touch.
By following these essential steps, you can host a stress-free and memorable celebration that allows you to enjoy the moment with your guests.
