one8 Commune continues India expansion 16th Outlet Opens in Goa — A Riverside Destination by the Chapora

Goa, November 2025: one8 Commune, one of India’s most recognised all-day dining concepts known for its global comfort food, will officially open its 16th outlet in the country, this time in Goa on 5 November 2025. 

Set along the Chapora riverside and edged by the winding Siolim backroads and tall palms, the new outpost with the most breathtaking views brings a refreshing blend of coastal ease and the warmth of a neighbourhood favourite. 

Designed by Aayushi Malik, the space captures the spirit of a Mediterranean escape: sun-washed textures, breezy fabric canopies, winding wooden paths, and floral tasselled umbrellas that frame uninterrupted river views. Guests can sink into cosy loungers facing the water or gather around large open-air tables that turn long lunches into unhurried evenings.

Inside, the restaurant is imagined as a rustic Italian home, with glass doors, wood-fronted bar counters, and towering palms aside bringing the outdoors into the room. A softly lit indoor lounge transitions into a semi-covered alfresco space, making the setting ideal for families, groups of friends, sundowners, or quiet date nights that stretch into the night. The tone is effortlessly chic but inviting, echoing the relaxed glamour of coastal Europe translated for Goa’s laid-back rhythm.

The one8 Commune Goa menu is built on the core philosophy of global comfort food, made to be shared, snacked on, and enjoyed over long riverside meals. The opening sections are social and laid-back - mezze platters, burrata with Calabrian chilli, truffle mushroom phyllo, burnt cheese chilli toast, and tuna-kimchi bowls, plates that feel familiar but carry a fresh, modern touch. Pizzas, sliders, khao suey, and rice bowls strengthen the comfort-first approach and make the menu young, versatile, and easy ordering for groups. Balancing this is an elevated Indian menu,restaurant-style, rich, and perfect for families, late dinners, and food-forward travellers who want more than just bar plates.

Because Goa deserves a menu that feels rooted, the kitchen adds coastal freshness and spice through Goan-inspired signatures, squid recheado fry, butter garlic seafood with prawns, clams, and calamari, achari pomfret cooked in the tandoor, crab pepper roast, and chorizo-topped truffle fries and poie. There are house favourites that guests recognise from other cities, mushroom googly dimsums, wild mushroom risotto, the signature fried chicken slider, truffle parmesan fries, and the Commune Mezze Platter, giving the Goa menu both familiarity and a strong sense of place, says Agnibh Mudi, Brand Chef. 

“Classic Comebacks” is  the new bar programme in Goa. The idea is simple: take the cocktails everyone already knows and loves, and pour them better. Not reinvented, not dressed up—just brought back with the right balance, texture, and a contemporary hand.

As part of Classic Comebacks, every cocktail on the menu returns from a timeless original. The Bees Knees refines the classic Gin Sour, the Apricot Jam Sour softens the Whiskey Sour with fruit depth, and the Almond Negroni brings a warmer, nutty twist to the iconic original. Mississippi Mud, a clarified whisky cocktail served with chocolate ice cream, plays on the Old Fashioned with playful indulgence, while the Old Cuban elevates the Mojito with aged rum and champagne. The Apple Basil Whiskey lightens the Highball with herbal freshness, the Breakfast Daiquiri keeps things bright and smashable, the Tiramisu turns the Espresso Martini silky, and the Guava Picante brings tropical heat. 

Goa is where people come to breathe a little deeper, slow down, eat well, and celebrate the good life. That’s the spirit we wanted to capture here. The river, the sunsets, the easy conversations over great food and cocktails, it all comes together to make this a place you don’t just visit, but return to. We’ve always believed one8 Commune should feel like a little getaway in every city, and in Goa, it becomes a true vacation home, relaxed, warm, and full of character. - says Vartik Tihara, Director - Truepalate Hospitality Pvt.
