CH01 is a modern food destination for people who value good products, familiar flavors, and a pleasant shopping experience. We bring a carefully selected mix of Indian and international groceries to Berlin — with a focus on quality, everyday usefulness, and a clear, welcoming atmosphere.
At CH01, the goal is not to offer everything, but to offer the right things. Our assortment is designed so customers can quickly find what they need without feeling overwhelmed by too many shelves, too many choices, or too much visual noise. The result is a shopping experience that feels calm, organized, and inspiring.
CH01 is made for Berlin’s Indian community as well as for anyone who enjoys international cuisine. Whether you are cooking daily meals, preparing something special, or simply discovering new products, CH01 is meant to be a place people enjoy visiting again and again.
Welcome to CH01, a culinary concept by ShaWa Foods, rooted in the belief that food is more than nourishment. It is memory, culture, and identity served on a plate. CH01 takes its name from vehicle registration plate from Chandigarh, India, a city known for its clarity of design, modern outlook, and deep respect for tradition. Much like the city itself, our kitchen reflects a balance between structure and soul. Chandigarh’s food culture is shaped by home kitchens, shared meals, and recipes passed down through generations. Food there is not rushed. It is cooked with patience, intention, and care.
Indian cuisine has always been about more than spices. It is about balance, seasonality, and the ritual of cooking together. Every region, every household, and every family table tells a different story. At CH01, we draw from these traditions, focusing on familiar flavors that feel honest and comforting, while presenting them in a modern and thoughtful way.
We cook with fresh ingredients, carefully selected spices, and techniques rooted in Indian home cooking. Our approach is simple. Respect the ingredients. Take time with the process. Let the food speak for itself.
“Cooking is an act of love. When you cook with care, the food carries it forward.”
CH01 is our way of sharing the flavors we grew up with, shaped by culture, tradition, and everyday meals, and bringing them to the table in Berlin!
