Twisted bilayers of van der Waals materials have recently attracted great attention due to their tunable strongly correlated phenomena. Here, we investigate the chirality-specific physics in 3D moir\'e superlattices induced by Eshelby twist. Our direct DFT calculations reveal helical rotation leads to optical circular dichroism, and chirality-specific nonlinear Hall effect, even though there is no magnetization or magnetic field. Both these phenomena can be reversed by changing the structural chirality. This provides a way to constructing chirality-specific materials.
