About Eshha

A passion for authentic food. A vision for modern living.

Eshha Nourish Pvt.

What began as a search for genuine North Indian chaat in Kerala evolved into KOCCHI CHAATWALA, and grew into a diverse food ecosystem.

About Eshha

Our story, our people

A passion for authentic food. A vision for modern living.

Eshha Nourish flagship outlet at sunset
Our Story

From a personal craving to a family of brands

Driven by a deep love for food and a passion for culinary excellence, the founder's journey began with a simple craving for authentic chaat in Kerala. Having lived in Mumbai and abroad for over three decades, she was accustomed to rich, bold flavours and genuine taste experiences. After settling down in Kochi, the search for authentic chaat led to disappointment — but that letdown quickly turned into inspiration.

What was missing in the market became an opportunity, and that spark gave birth to Eshha & KOCCHI CHAATWALA — a venture created to bring true North Indian chaat flavours to Kerala. The response was overwhelming. With growing popularity and customer love, the brand expanded into multiple outlets, including one at Lulu Cyber Park.

Life eventually led to a move to Pune, but the entrepreneurial spirit stayed as strong as ever. Recognising that modern life was changing and people wanted more than just a quick snack — they wanted flavour, variety, and better food choices that fit a busy schedule — the founder envisioned something bigger and more flexible. This vision led to the birth of Eshha Foods. Built on passion and resilience, Eshha represents the next chapter of a journey where authentic taste finally meets modern living.

The Move to Pune

Life shifts cities, but the entrepreneurial spirit stays just as strong — and the vision starts to widen beyond a single restaurant.

Eshha Foods Is Born

A broader food ecosystem takes shape — built for busy, modern lifestyles that still want real flavour and better choices.

2026

Site selection guidance, staff training, SOPs, and launch marketing.

A partner, not a landlord
