The menu at One8 Commune includes the cricketer’s favourites and more
Cricket lovers are flocking to One8 Commune, the newest restaurant in Hitech City, Hyderabad. It is located on the first floor of the Loft building. Are you curious as to why? This is one of the eateries in the chain that cricket legend Virat Kohli co-owns. Hyderabad Kohling! is a sign at the entrance that has emerged as the newest hotspot for selfies.
The interiors, which have earthy tones of light brown, include cane and wicker furniture, lamps, and fans. The view of a high-rise made of glass and metal is in the background. The colors are vibrant, ranging from blue to gold. This is a light-filled, airy space with both conventional and elevated seating. When it opens in the evening, it provides food, drinks, and entertainment to keep you entertained till the end of the night.
It is to be expected that there is an abundance of cricket memorabilia on display; everything from the menu to the chic equipment used to serve beverages shouts sport. One beautiful item of décor that entices nearly everyone inside for a picture is Virat Kohli’s jersey, which he digitally live-signed when visiting the restaurant with the RCB team in Hyderabad for a match.
The menu undoubtedly has several of the cricketer’s favorites, such as the delicious mushroom cream avocado cheese. This crimson dish is a steamed dim sum with a few tweaks. The dim sum wrap dough’s usage of beetroot juice gives it its crimson color. When you bite into it for the first time, the warm cream cheese melts away to reveal a mushy avocado bite, and occasionally you’ll get a piece of shitake mushroom along with the woodsy, garlicky flavors of truffle oil.
Rahul S was excited to exhibit the cocktails that could feed a table of four from the bar. The trophy pour has a mix of whites such as vodka and gin and is blended with blue pea blossom tea. The mango picante, which combines mango with a spicy touch, is a good option for tequila enthusiasts who like a little kick to their beverages because I couldn’t finish a drink that served four.
According to One8’s corporate chef Agnibh Mudi, “We presently have eight restaurants across the country.” We have quite a number of Virat’s favorites at every restaurant. We also have a segment of the menu tailored to the tastes of the locals in each city. In Hyderabad, we’ve incorporated our love of spice into a few paneer, prawn, and chicken dishes. We are also working on a soy version of haleem and have local favorites like Hyderabadi khatti dal, anda keema, and pav. I’m quite pleased with that endeavor.
Byadgi mirchi paneer and lime chilli pickled hot prawns were served when the topic of regional flavors was raised. The paneer was a spicy option because it was full of flavor and had a lot of heat from the chilli. Due to the usage of green chilies, the pickled lemon prawns were likewise quite spicy. The last local touch is the addition of curry-patta tadka (curry leaf tempering).
The avocado flat bread is a good option for those seeking something moderate.
Modern Indian, regional, Asian, and continental cuisine are all featured on the menu. Pizza, khatti dal, mutton rogan josh, sliders, and international favorites like laksa and hawker-style noodles are among the available dishes. The menu’s “Pasta and large plate” section also features some traditional dishes such penne grilled fish and spaghetti aglio e olio.
But I went desi and had the kheema ghotala, which was great for a meal in the early evening, and I ate it with warm, toasted pav with butter on top.
Even yet, the dessert department offers tempting options including coconut tres leches, burnt basque cheesecake, and tiramisu cornetto. Since I had decided to sit outside and the insects would not go away, I decided to forego it.
