10 Minutes from the Peace Palace. No Compromise on Quality.
The Peace Palace draws some of the most internationally minded visitors in Europe. Diplomats. Legal professionals from the International Court of Justice. Journalists covering global institutions. After a full day in Den Haag's diplomatic quarter, the question is not "where is a restaurant?" The question is "where is a restaurant that actually delivers?" Chopras Indian Restaurant at Leyweg 986 is the answer. Ten minutes by car. No detour required.
The kitchen at Leyweg grinds masalas from whole spices sourced directly from India, every morning before the first service. The volatile aromatic oils in cumin, cardamom and coriander begin evaporating within hours of grinding. A kitchen using pre-mixed supplier blends is serving yesterday's flavour. At Chopras, the spice is ground that morning and cooked that evening. Browse the full Indian restaurant menu at Chopras and you will see 143 dishes built on that standard.
The tandoor clay oven at Leyweg reaches 400 degrees Celsius. That temperature is what gives chicken tikka its smoky crust and garlic naan its char on the edges. No conventional oven replicates this. It is also why 800+ guests have left 4.9-star reviews on Google.

What to Order on Your First Visit
Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan
The butter chicken at Chopras starts with halal chicken in a tomato and cream sauce built from masala ground that morning. Garlic naan comes direct from the 400-degree tandoor, with a char on the edges that no conventional oven can replicate. This combination converts first-time visitors into regulars.
Biryani with Saffron Basmati
The biryani at Chopras uses saffron basmati rice and is available with chicken, lamb or vegetables. It is cooked separately from the gravy and combined at the moment of service. The aroma when it arrives at the table is the difference between a kitchen that cares and one that does not.
Mutton Rogan Josh
Mutton rogan josh is a Kashmiri dish built on a deep, slow-cooked gravy. At Chopras, the lamb is halal and the spice blend is ground in-house. It is not a dish for guests who want mild. It is a dish for guests who want the real thing.
