Work at Chopras - Join Den Haag's Fastest Growing Indian Restaurant
We are building something real here. If you love food, people and a team that actually has each other's backs - read on.
Den Haag's highest-rated Indian restaurant is growing
Chopras Indian Restaurant opened on Leyweg in 2023 and earned 4.9 stars from 800+ Google reviews faster than any other Indian restaurant in Den Haag. That rating is not held up by one good week. It is built service by service by a team that shows up, takes the food seriously, and treats guests the way they want to be treated. If that is how you work, you belong here.
The kitchen standard at Chopras is specific. Whole spices are sourced directly from India and ground fresh every morning before the first order is placed. The tandoor clay oven at Leyweg 986 reaches 400 degrees Celsius. This is not a talking point. It is the reason a Chopras naan has char on the edges and the chicken tikka has a crust no conventional oven can give it. Chefs who care about this difference will find Chopras is built for them.
Chopras is growing beyond the restaurant itself. The private event hall at Leyweg handles private dinners and receptions for 25 to 80 guests. The catering team serves events across Den Haag, Rijswijk, Delft, and Zoetermeer. New positions are opening as the operation expands, and the people who join now are the ones who will advance first.
What working at Chopras actually looks like
Working at Chopras Indian Restaurant is not a script-following exercise. It is being part of a kitchen and front-of-house team that genuinely cares about getting the food right, about making guests feel welcome, and about having each other's backs on a busy Saturday night. Our menu of 143 dishes spans North Indian curries, tandoori and Indian street food that requires real skill and care. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, every service.
We opened in 2023 and we are growing, which means real opportunities for people who want to grow with us. Our chefs are learning and passing on techniques every day. Our front-of-house team know regulars by name within a few weeks. Our catering operation has expanded to serve Den Haag, Rijswijk, Delft, and Zoetermeer. If you stay, you grow.
We want people who take pride in their work, show up when they say they will, and bring actual energy to a shift. Attitude matters more than experience. The skills, we can teach.
