Indian Restaurant Near Delft - Chopras in Den Haag, 15 Minutes Away
Authentic North Indian food, fully halal certified, open Tuesday to Sunday. Leyweg 986, Den Haag - directly accessible from Delft by car or public transport.
From Delft to Leyweg
Delft and Den Haag form a continuous urban area - the municipal boundaries run through what is essentially uninterrupted built environment. Chopras at Leyweg 986 is approximately 15 minutes by car from central Delft, or 20 to 25 minutes by tram or bus via the direct connection.
The A13 motorway connects Delft directly to the Leyweg area - most routes avoid central Den Haag entirely. Parking at Leyweg is free, which is a significant advantage over finding parking in Delft or Den Haag Centrum.
Delft has a large international student population through TU Delft. Indian and South Asian students, international students familiar with Indian food, and local families organising a special dinner once a month - Chopras is the most logical outing from Delft for all these groups when the choice is Indian food.
Popular Dishes with Delft Visitors
Visitors from Delft order biryani at above-average rates - the dish that is most distinctively different from the home-cooked versions most people know. The quality of the saffron rice and fresh spices at Chopras makes an immediately comparable difference.
The street food section of the menu is particularly popular with international TU Delft students and staff - pani puri, chaat and samosa are familiar tastes for visitors from India and Pakistan who find authentic versions of these dishes hard to find elsewhere in Den Haag or Delft.
The halal aspect specifically draws families from Delft's diverse Muslim community - Turkish, Moroccan, Pakistani, Indian-Muslim - for whom Chopras' fully certified halal status is a decisive factor.
