Indian Curry Club is a dinner restaurant in the literal sense, since its site lists opening hours of 5pm to 10pm, Monday to Sunday. That makes the menu of an indian dinner restaurant worth reading as a running order, from soup to dessert.
Each stage below is matched to dishes from the Indian Curry Club menu pages, using the descriptions the site gives.
What should you order at an Indian dinner restaurant in Den Haag?
A full evening order moves through five stages: soup or a starter, one or more mains, rice, bread and a dessert. Pick one dish per stage and share across the table. Vegan guests should ask about soup, bread and dessert, because only starters and mains appear on the Vegan Menu page.
Which soup comes first?
The full menu lists two soups. Lentil soup is a yellow lentil soup with coriander and ginger, and tomato coriander soup is a spiced tomato soup with fresh coriander.
Both mention coriander, so the choice comes down to lentil or tomato. A table can order one of each and share before the starters arrive.
Which starters open the table?
The full menu splits starters into veg and non-veg. The veg list has tandoori soya chaap, dahi puri, tandoori paneer tikka, samosa chaat, pani puri, samosa and onion bhajiya, while the non-veg list runs from lamb chops and seekh kabab to chicken wings, an Amritsari fish fry, chilli chicken, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka and tandoori prawns.
Groups have a shortcut in the non-veg starter platter, which combines tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, lamb seekh and tandoori prawn in one order. Guests looking for a veganistisch restaurant den haag can start from the Vegan Menu page instead, where the starters are onion bhajiya, samosa and pani puri.
The three chaat style starters each carry something different. Pani puri comes with tangy mint water, dahi puri is filled with sweet yogurt, sauces and toppings, and samosa chaat is samosa with chickpeas, yogurt, mint and tamarind chutney.
How many mains does a table need?
The veg curries section lists fourteen dishes, and the non-veg curries cover chicken, lamb and seafood. Rather than counting heads, choose by contrast: one creamy curry, such as a korma, beside one spiced or semi dry dish, such as kadhai or mix veg.
For one diner there is a shortcut. The non-veg thali is a single platter of chicken tikka, butter chicken, lamb rogan josh, dal, raita, salad, papad, rice, naan, rasmalai and mango lassi, so one order covers most of the stages in this article. The veg thali does the same with samosa, saag paneer, mixed vegetables, dal, raita, salad, papad, naan, rasmalai and mango lassi.
The kids menu comes in veg and non-veg versions, with fries, naan, rice and either soft chicken or the vegetable of the day. It sits under the Special Menu, next to the two thalis.
Which rice and bread complete the plate?
The rice and biryani section starts with plain biryani rice, which is basmati rice with spices. Veg biryani adds mixed vegetables, and chicken, lamb and prawn biryani are served with raita.
The naan range is wide: plain and butter naan, garlic naan with butter and coriander, cheese naan, a potato stuffed naan and a Kashmiri naan stuffed with cheese, coconut and dried fruit. The side plate section adds a vegetable raita and a mix green salad of lettuce, cucumber, tomato, green chilli and lemon.
What is on the dessert menu?
Five desserts close the menu. Dame blanche is vanilla ice cream with whipped cream and warm chocolate, and the sundae is vanilla and strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce.
The Indian options are mango kulfi, a frozen milk dessert with mango, pistachio and cardamom, rasmalai, which is cottage cheese dumplings in saffron and cardamom cream, and gulab jamun, milk based dumplings soaked in light sugar syrup. Rasmalai also appears inside both thalis, so a thali order already includes a dessert.
How do you pace an evening order?
Start with soup or a starter, hold the dessert decision until the mains are done, and add naan once you have seen what the curries need. The thali lists rasmalai alongside its main dishes, which suggests the menu treats dessert as part of the same evening.
Where do vegan guests need to ask during dinner?
The Vegan Menu page covers starters and mains: onion bhajiya, samosa and pani puri to begin, then channa masala, mix veg, aloo gobhi adraki and bhindi do pyaza. The site states those dishes as vegan.
Three stages fall outside that page. Neither soup carries a Vegan tag on the full menu, the naan descriptions mention butter or cheese, and every dessert is described with ice cream, milk, cream or cheese dumplings. The mix green salad lists only vegetables but has no tag either, so it is a quick question for the restaurant, along with any other allergy or dietary need.
Choose one dish per stage, and the order stays balanced.
