Arun Chopra opened Chopras Indian Restaurant on Leyweg in Den Haag in 2023 with a single ambition: serve Indian food exactly as it is meant to be. The spices are sourced directly from India and ground fresh every morning in our kitchen - not from a bag, not from a supplier's blend. The tandoor is fired up hours before the first guest arrives. The recipes come from kitchens in Delhi, Mumbai and Rajasthan, carried across without modification.
Every dish here is the real thing - not adapted, not simplified, not dialled back for a European palate. The butter chicken is built the same way it is in Delhi: tandoor-cooked chicken first, then a slow tomato and cream sauce with spices that were whole yesterday and ground this morning. The pani puri arrives the way it does on a Mumbai street corner - ice-cold filling, crispy shell, one explosive bite that you will immediately want to repeat.
Den Haag has a long relationship with South Asian food - the largest Hindustani community in the Netherlands lives here, and they know the difference between a shortcut and the real thing. Chopras is built for that audience and for anyone who wants to eat the way it actually tastes in India. We are not trying to appeal to everyone. We are trying to cook well. Come hungry.
The tandoor we use reaches around 400 degrees C. That temperature is not adjustable - it is what gives naan its char on the edges and chicken tikka its smoky crust. You cannot fake that in a conventional oven and we would not try. Every morning before service, the tandoor is lit. Every evening after service, it is cleaned. That discipline is the difference between a restaurant and a kitchen that happens to serve food.
We are on Leyweg. Not in the centre, not in a tourist corridor. We chose Leyweg deliberately - it is where Den Haag actually lives. Come find us.
Arun Chopra
Founder · Chopras Indian Restaurant
“I did not open a restaurant. I opened a kitchen - the same kitchen I grew up watching my mother cook in. The spices are the same. The fire is the same. The only thing that changed is the address.”
Arun Chopra moved to Den Haag with one obsession: that somewhere in this city, someone should be able to eat Indian food the way it is actually eaten in India. Not adapted. Not simplified. Not made mild for a European palate. The real thing.
Every recipe at Chopras comes from memory - from kitchens in Delhi, from street corners in Mumbai, from family tables in Rajasthan. Arun grinds the spices fresh every morning himself because he knows that the moment you open a packet, something is already lost.
When you eat at Chopras, you are not eating at a restaurant. You are eating at someone's table. That is the only standard Arun has ever cooked to.
Arun Chopra · Founder & Head Chef
Our masalas come directly from India and are ground fresh in our kitchen every morning before service. Not from a pre-mixed bag. Not from a supplier's blend. The volatile aromatic oils in cumin, cardamom and coriander begin evaporating within hours of grinding - that freshness is what you taste in every dish, and it is the one thing we will never compromise on.
100% halal certified - not an option on the menu, the whole kitchen. Vegetarian and vegan dishes clearly labelled on every menu. Wheelchair accessible. Baby friendly. Pet friendly on the terrace. Whether you are bringing the whole family, celebrating something special, or just hungry on a Tuesday evening - you are welcome here, and there is something on the menu you will want to order again.
We run a full catering operation and a private event hall at Leyweg for groups of 25 to 80 guests. Nikah receptions, corporate dinners, Diwali celebrations, birthday parties - we handle everything from first enquiry to final dish so you can actually enjoy your own event. Serving Den Haag, Rijswijk, Delft, Zoetermeer and beyond.

What Guests Say
Real guests. Real meals. Real opinions.
“We came for a birthday dinner and stayed two hours longer than planned. The chilli paneer was extraordinary - bold, crispy, the right amount of heat. Staff treated us like family from the moment we walked in. Best Indian food in Den Haag, full stop.”

“Stopped here on a whim after seeing it on Google and I am genuinely glad I did. The soya chaap is unlike anything I have had before - smoky, marinated, completely addictive. My Dutch friends who had never eaten Indian food before are now regulars. That says everything.”
Mark van der Berg

“As a Muslim family, finding a restaurant that is genuinely halal-certified and also serves food this good is rare. Chopras ticks every box. The kids loved the butter chicken, my husband ordered the mutton rogan josh and we are already planning our next visit.”
