The Best Indian Restaurant Near Den Haag Centraal
Commuters who walk past the same station restaurants every evening know the feeling: quick, predictable, and disappointing. Chopras Indian Restaurant at Leyweg 986 is fifteen minutes by tram from Den Haag Centraal station. That is the only friction. What follows is an entirely different category of dinner.
Our biryani, butter chicken, and tandoori are made with spices sourced directly from India and ground fresh every morning in our kitchen. Not from a bag. Not from a supplier blend. This is the difference that brings commuters and tourists back to Leyweg, evening after evening.
At 4.9 stars from over 800 Google reviews, Chopras Indian Restaurant is one of the strongest-rated Indian restaurants in Den Haag by both rating and review volume. A high rating becomes more meaningful when it is supported by hundreds of reviews, and Chopras has both.
Why the Tram Ride Is Worth It
The tandoor at Leyweg 986 reaches 400 degrees Celsius. This is not an oven you will find elsewhere in Den Haag. It is the temperature that gives naan its char at the edges and chicken tikka its smoky crust. No conventional oven can replicate this. That is the reason tandoori dishes at Chopras taste the way they were designed to taste.
Chopras is also fully halal certified. Not partially. The entire kitchen, every supplier, every dish. For guests who need to know exactly what is on their plate, that is not a minor detail. It is precisely why families travel from across Den Haag, Rijswijk, and Zoetermeer to Leyweg 986.
With 143 dishes across 13 categories, there is also a complete menu for vegetarian and vegan guests. No token dish at the top of the menu. A genuine offering, from dal makhani to soya chaap and chaat.
