Statenkwartier is one of Den Haag's most international neighbourhoods — home to embassies, diplomatic families, and the Frederik Hendriklaan strip known locally as "De Fred," lined with specialist food shops and cafes serving the area's global residents. If you're in Statenkwartier and craving authentic Indian food, here's what's worth knowing.
Why Statenkwartier residents look further for real Indian food
Statenkwartier's international character means residents are used to seeking out authentic global cuisine rather than settling for a nearby approximation.

- 100% Halal certified chicken, lamb, and prawn dishes — important for the neighbourhood's diverse diplomatic and international community
- An extensive vegetarian and vegan menu, not an afterthought section
- A five-minute walk from the beach — easy to combine a Scheveningen visit with dinner
- Delivery available to Statenkwartier and surrounding neighbourhoods for evenings when the trip isn't practical
