Premium Food. Honest People.
The Chakna Co. began with one simple thought: yaar, premium food shouldn’t mean premium drama.
As total foodies, we kept seeing the same two options: either pay big money at fancy bars and 5-stars, or order from places where you’d rather not imagine the kitchen. And for the drinking gang? Even worse overpriced drinks with “okay-ish” food, or roadside chakna stalls frying Manchurian in the same reused palm oil.
So we said – bas, enough
- We are building a restaurant chain that serves premium, honest, super-tasty food without shortcuts.
- No palm oil. No preservatives. No frozen gravies. No jugaad hygiene.
- We run tight processes, yes, even milk products are checked (tincture iodine test) for authenticity.
- The Chakna Co. brings authentic Premium food to your table, your party, and now your daily tiffin..

Our Story
The Chakna Co. began with one simple thought: yaar, premium food shouldn’t mean premium drama.
As total foodies, we kept seeing the same two options: either pay big money at fancy bars and 5-stars, or order from places where you’d rather not imagine the kitchen. And for the drinking gang? Even worse overpriced drinks with “okay-ish” food, or roadside chakna stalls frying Bangda in the same reused palm oil.
So we said – bas, enough
We are building a restaurant chain that serves premium, honest, super-tasty food without shortcuts.
No palm oil. No preservatives. No frozen gravies. No jugaad hygiene.
We run tight processes, yes, even milk products are checked (tincture iodine test) for authenticity.
And we don’t believe “premium” means tear-your-tongue spicy. There’s a difference between flavourful and fiery. At The Chakna Co., fresh ingredients, pure masalas, and killer aromas do the heavy lifting. Teekha? It just kills the taste.
Today, our mission is simple: bring premium home dining to everyone, family meals, house parties, or that one solo drink after a long day.
Any mood, any plan chakna sorted.
OUR JOURNEY
It Started beside a wineshop
Not a big kitchen. Not a grand plan.
Just a simple observation: the food sitting beside a drink was never good enough.
We started serving chakna & Biryanis Beside a wine shop in Pune, and people kept coming back.
Not just for the drink. For the food. We’ve seen people reducing their budget on drink to buy our flavorful chaknas & Biryanis.
12 Restaurants. Punjabi cuisine Done Right.
We took that same belief and built something bigger. Twelve restaurants across Pune, each one specializing in Punjabi, Maharashtrian, Mediterranian and North Indian food; kebabs slow-cooked on open fire, biryanis sealed and dum-cooked the old way, Pastas creamy that melts in mouth, Hummus & Baba Ghanoush that brings back Mediterranean nostalgia and chakna that still holds its ground beside any drink, Bold main course and desserts.
Catering & Party Packages
Punekars loves to party. So we geared up for it. From Mini buffets at house gatherings to grand celebrations, our catering arm brought premium food to every occasion without the five-star bill or the five-star drama. Be it Mughlai, Punjabi, Maharashtrian, Chinese, Continental, Lebanese, Gujrati, we serve every cuisine in our catering services.

Our Philosophy
Flavour First. Heat Is Your Choice.
Most places call everything spicy. We know the difference between Rasa; that deep, aromatic richness that fills the mouth and Teekha; the sharp heat that dominates if unchecked. At The Chakna Co., every dish leads with flavour. The chutneys and salans on the side? That’s where you write your own chapter.
This is centuries of spice knowledge, now delivered to your door.
