Since 1960
A Legacy Born in Flavor
In the 1960s, in the charming town of Haldwani, our grandfather, Late Sardar Attar Singh Chawla, introduced a culinary masterpiece that would stand the test of time — Kali Mirch Chicken, now fondly known as Cream Chicken.
Crafted with a distinctive blend of milk and cream instead of conventional heavy spices, this dish offered a rich, delicate flavor unlike anything people had experienced before. What began as a humble creation in a family kitchen quickly captured hearts, turning into a celebrated local legend and laying the foundation for a legacy that continues to delight generations.

From Chawla’s Chicken to Chawla’s²
A thoughtful evolution shaped by people, culture, and changing times
As our journey expanded beyond Punjab in the early 2000s, we discovered that while our food was loved everywhere, the name “Chicken” on the board often created hesitation—especially in diverse, family-oriented markets. Understanding this shift in perception, we reimagined our identity without losing our roots. Chawla’s² was born as a modern, more inclusive extension of the same trusted legacy—designed to welcome everyone while preserving the authentic flavors we are known for.
- Built on the strong foundation of Chawla’s Chicken
- Rebranded to suit evolving customer mindsets
- The ‘²’ represents both veg & non-veg, served with equal passion
- A more family-friendly and inclusive dining identity
- Same legacy, same recipes — just a modern expression
