Kohli's Table: One8 Commune on Golf Course Road Has More Going for It Than Just the Star PowerA Sunday afternoon well spent — and a few dishes that genuinely surprised me.Let me be honest with you from the outset. When a celebrated sportsperson opens a restaurant — and in India, that almost always means a cricketer — my first instinct is polite scepticism. There is a long and somewhat inglorious history of celebrity-endorsed dining in this country. The food tends to be secondary; the Instagram opportunities very much primary. You go once, you take the photograph, you tell your friends, and you never go back. The restaurant, in turn, survives on the relentless machinery of hype until even that runs dry.Which is why One8 Commune, Virat Kohli’s restaurant brand, genuinely took me by surprise. Not because it is perfect — it isn’t — but because it is, in several meaningful ways, actually trying. And succeeding.The newest outpost on Golf Course Road in Gurugram is a handsome space. There is a generosity to it, an ease, the kind that takes real money and real thought to achieve without looking like it cost either. The lighting deserves a special mention — it is warm without being amber-heavy, bright enough to actually see your food (a radical concept, one feels, in the dimly-lit world of contemporary restaurant design) but atmospheric enough that a Sunday lunch stretches effortlessly into early evening without you quite noticing. The interiors carry that well-travelled, globally-influenced aesthetic that Kohli himself seems to embody: clean lines, confident materials, not trying too hard.The service, too, is worth noting. There’s a fine line between attentive and intrusive, and the staff here navigates it with more grace than you might expect. They know the menu, they are not reading from a script, and when I asked questions about the kitchen’s sourcing, the answers were coherent. These are small things, but in a restaurant landscape where ‘good service’ frequently means someone placing food in front of you without dropping it, they count.Now, to the only thing that actually matters.We began with the Tomato Parmesan Shorba — and I say ‘began’ with some intention, because a good soup at the start of a meal is a declaration of intent from a kitchen. This one announced itself well. Spicy, in the manner of a good Indian tomato soup rather than a thin European bisque, it had that pleasing creaminess at the top — a froth, really — that softened the heat without drowning it. The garlic bread alongside was properly done: crusty, fragrant, the garlic cooked rather than raw. It is the sort of starter that makes you settle into your chair and feel that the afternoon has been a good idea.The Hot Pot — served for two, built around a spicy Tom Yum broth — is the dish I would return for. It arrives as an event: the broth bubbling, the accompaniments arranged around it with some care — rice sticks, pak choi, mushrooms, edamame, chicken — and you get to choose your protein from among tofu, chicken, or prawns. There is something wonderfully democratic and convivial about hot pot dining; it slows a meal down, makes conversation inevitable, demands that you pay attention. The broth itself had genuine backbone — the lemongrass and galangal coming through clearly, the heat building gradually rather than announcing itself all at once. This is not a dish that is merely ‘Asian-inspired’, that most dreaded of menu descriptions. It has roots.The Moroccan Roasted Chicken was another high point. The marinade — a blend of homemade Moroccan spice powder — had clearly been applied with some patience. The chicken was not dry, which is a lower bar than it should be at this price point, but was actually juicy, the spices working their way into the flesh rather than sitting on the surface as a decorative gesture. The hummus served alongside was smooth and properly seasoned — the tahini present but not overwhelming, a touch of lemon lifting the whole thing. North African cooking is not well represented in Delhi’s restaurant scene, and it was quietly pleasing to find a kitchen willing to engage with it on its own terms.I tried the Chicken Gyoza too — hand-minced chicken with chives, brown garlic, sesame oil, and ginger soy. These were pleasingly light, the filling well-seasoned and genuinely fragrant with the sesame, the wrappers with enough give to feel handmade rather than defrosted. Good gyoza is not easy to get right in an Indian kitchen that is also producing Tom Yum, Moroccan chicken, and what I suspect is a fairly extensive continental menu alongside. The fact that these held up is a small testament to the kitchen’s range.The Hot Stone Bowl — assorted vegetables, water chestnut, mushrooms, hot garlic sauce, jasmine rice served sizzling on a stone — was a textural pleasure. The water chestnuts added that crunch that so much Asian cooking uses to such good effect; the garlic had been cooked long enough to mellow into sweetness rather than sharpness. It was, in the best sense, a comforting dish: the kind that asks nothing complicated of you but rewards your attention.And then, the 20 Layer Chocolate Cake. I am, as a rule, suspicious of desserts that lead with a number. Twenty layers implies engineering more than baking. But I was wrong to be wary. The mud sponge was dense and properly chocolatey — not the faint chocolate-flavoured sweetness that passes for chocolate cake at too many restaurants — and the ganache between the layers kept everything moist without the whole thing becoming a cloying collapse. The vanilla anglaise alongside was elegant, a quiet backdrop that let the chocolate do what chocolate should do. It was a genuinely good dessert.The VerdictOne8 Commune, at its best, is a restaurant that earns its popularity rather than merely inheriting it from its owner’s celebrity. The menu is genuinely ambitious in its breadth — perhaps too ambitious; the risk with a kitchen covering this much ground is that things slip through the cracks on a busy service — but the dishes I tried were largely well-executed, and in a couple of cases, were actually exciting.The Golf Course Road space is a beautiful room to spend time in. The service is above average. The food, on this particular Sunday afternoon, ranged from solid to genuinely impressive. That is a better report card than the celebrity restaurant genre typically warrants, and considerably better than my initial scepticism had prepared me to give.Sometimes, it is rather pleasant to be wrong.

Extremely disappointing experience at one8 Commune, Golf Course Road. We chose this place to celebrate my husband’s birthday, expecting quality service and hospitality from a restaurant associated with a name like Virat Kohli. What we got instead was a complete disaster.The service was pathetic. We were served only half the meal — dal makhani came first, but the breads arrived 10 minutes later, by which time the dal was cold. No spoons, no salad, no chutney — we had to literally beg different staff members for every single item. Plates were the size of quarter plates — completely inappropriate for a proper dinner setting.One waiter agreed to serve us, smiled, and then disappeared. No one cared to check on us or fix the experience, despite it clearly being a special occasion.This is unacceptable from any restaurant, let alone one backed by such a prominent public figure. The staff seemed untrained and disinterested, and the overall experience lacked even the basics of hospitality.We’re not asking for a refund — but we absolutely deserve an apology. One8 may have the branding, but if this is the standard of service, it’s a massive letdown. This place ruined what was supposed to be a memorable night.Not recommended unless serious improvements are made.
