Cook for home in Chandigarh (khana banane wale)
A cook for the house: one meal a day, both meals, veg or non-veg, part time or live-in. You decide the menu and buy the groceries; she cooks it the way your family eats. We meet every cook first and send her to you to cook a trial meal before anything is fixed.
Also asked for as: khana banane wali, khana banane wale, cook for home, maharaj

Cook in Chandigarh
Most of our cook placements in Chandigarh are in Sector 8, Sector 15, Sector 17, Sector 20, Sector 22 and the streets around them. Someone who lives near you turns up on the days it rains and the days the buses are full, so when you call, tell us your sector or phase first — it decides who we can actually send.
What it costs in Chandigarh depends on the hours, the size of the house and how much experience you want. The rates above are what families here are paying now, not a list we made up; if your requirement sits outside them we will say so on the call rather than after someone has come to meet you.
Just for a day or two
No monthly arrangement, no placement fee — you pay for the visit.
| What you need | Price | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking for guests Up to ten people, menu agreed on the call · Groceries yours; the cook brings nothing but her hands | ₹1,500 | About four hours |
| A day's cover when your cook is away One or two meals for the day · Book a day ahead where you can | ₹600 | One to two hours |
