Indo Chinese Restaurant Den Haag
Chilli chicken, chilli paneer and Hakka noodles. Distinctive Indo Chinese food in The Hague, at Chopras Indian Restaurant on Leyweg 986.
What Is Indo Chinese Food?
Indo Chinese food was born in the Indian Chinese community of Kolkata during the 19th century. When Chinese immigrants settled in Bengal, they began cooking for Indian customers. Out of that kitchen came something you will not find in China, and you will not find in India either.
This is not Chinese food with an Indian twist. Indo Chinese is its own category, with its own techniques, its own heat profile, and its own iconic dishes. Schezwan chillies, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger-garlic paste form the base. Then Indian spices enter. The result is wok-tossed on high heat, fast-cooked and bold in flavour. Exactly what you will find on the Indo Chinese menu at Chopras.
The dishes that define Indo Chinese are chilli chicken, chilli paneer, Hakka noodles and Manchow soup. They share DNA with the tradition of Indian street food but occupy an entirely different register. The wok replaces the tawa. Soy sauce stands alongside garam masala. Same precision, different expression.
The Only Indo Chinese Restaurant in Den Haag
If you have searched for Indo Chinese food in Den Haag before, you already know the problem. Regular Chinese restaurants do not serve it. Indian restaurants rarely carry it. The cuisine sits between two categories, and most restaurants in The Hague have never touched it.
Chopras Indian Restaurant at Leyweg 986 serves authentic Indo Chinese food alongside a full North Indian menu. You can order chilli chicken here the same evening as a butter chicken or a biryani. That makes Chopras a strong choice when you want both North Indian dishes and Indo Chinese food in Den Haag.
This is not a token section on the menu. Chopras has built a dedicated Indo Chinese menu that stands alongside its North Indian dishes, not beneath them. Every dish is wok-tossed to order using the same fresh spices that go into every other dish in the kitchen. Reserve a table and taste the difference yourself.
The Indo Chinese Dishes at Chopras
Chilli Chicken
Halal chicken marinated in soy sauce and ginger, then wok-tossed on high heat with Schezwan sauce, capsicum and fresh chillies. Bold and full of flavour. This is the dish the cuisine is known for.
Chilli Paneer
Fresh paneer fried until crisp then tossed in Schezwan sauce. Fully vegetarian, no compromise on flavour. The best starting point for anyone exploring Indo Chinese food without meat.
Hakka Noodles
Wok-fried noodles with vegetables, soy sauce and Indian spices. Available in vegetarian and chicken versions. Made with the same fresh-ground spices used across the entire Chopras kitchen.
Manchow Soup
A deep, spiced broth with vegetables and noodles, served with crispy fried noodles on the side. The starter that opens the meal. Warm, aromatic and unlike any soup you will find in Den Haag.
Every dish is fully halal certified at Chopras. Every meat dish, every supplier. There is no cross-contamination possible because there is no non-halal meat anywhere in the kitchen. That is not a marketing choice. It is a structural one.

Why Chopras Gets It Right
The 4.9-star rating from 800+ verified Google reviews is not the argument. It is the confirmation. The argument lives in the kitchen: spices sourced directly from India, ground fresh every morning before service begins. The volatile aromatic oils in cumin, coriander and chilli begin evaporating within hours of grinding. That difference is what you taste.
