Biryani in Den Haag at Chopras - Chicken, Lamb and Vegetable

Chopras serves chicken, lamb and vegetable biryani in Den Haag - all made the way biryani is supposed to be made. Not simply rice with meat. A layered preparation where each component - marinated protein, fragrant basmati, real saffron, whole spices - is prepared separately before being sealed together and slow-cooked until the rice has absorbed every drop of the stock.

At Chopras, we make biryani the way it belongs in India: lamb shoulder or overnight-marinated chicken, layered with saffron-steeped basmati, sealed with dough and finished slowly in the oven. The lid comes off at the table. The smell alone tells you this is not a shortcut version.

The spices are ground fresh every morning. The chicken and lamb are halal-certified. The saffron is real - not a colouring substitute. This is the difference you notice when you compare it to what most Dutch restaurants serve.
