Our Story
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!
