A renovated Indian restaurant with broad vegetarian, vegan and meat options, warmly reviewed for flavorful curries and hospitality, though a minority report inconsistent temperature, seasoning and hygiene handling.
Indian Curry Club delivers strong food quality and attentive service that keep diners returning, but inconsistent execution in temperature and seasoning prevents a higher grade. The renovated setting is pleasant and welcoming, though it reads as a neighborhood favorite rather than a destination, and some uncertainty in our assessment stems from unusual review patterns that reduce confidence in the full picture.
Indian Curry Club is a polished neighborhood Indian restaurant on Thomsonlaan, transformed from the former Indian Curry House into a warmer, more contemporary room. Reviews often describe a relaxed atmosphere, Indian artwork and friendly servers; one diner’s experience was essentially “a stylish renovation wrapped around the aroma of the kitchen.” It is usually lively on weekends and can handle both intimate dinners and sizable celebrations. The cooking leans toward broad, recognizable Indian comfort food with regional range rather than experimental theatrics. Curries, tandoori meats, biryani, street-food starters and fresh naan are the backbone, with reviewers especially enthusiastic about Rogan Josh, butter chicken, Dal dishes, samosa chaat and mango kulfi. The supplied menu confirms substantial vegetarian and vegan coverage and offers useful value routes through the €29.99 weekend buffet and €23.50 monthly set menu. A minority of reviews, especially older ones, report overly salty or cold food and one serious hygiene complaint, so consistency has not been flawless. Families are well served by the menu’s familiar chicken curries, mild Shahi Kurma, naan, rice, samosas, ice cream desserts and customizable spice levels; one parent specifically found the gentler seasoning suitable for children. Still, this is a spice-led Indian menu rather than a dedicated children’s restaurant, and adventurous starters or hotter curries may need guidance for picky eaters.
Area vibe: Residential area near Scheveningen and city outskirts with practical local amenities.
Safety: Generally safe, quiet residential streets with decent evening lighting and local foot traffic.
What's nearby: Close to public transport links, local shops, schools, and a short drive to Scheveningen coast and central The Hague.
The strongest order combines a praised street-food starter, a rich curry or tandoori main, fresh naan, and Mango Kulfi.
Plan ahead for weekend demand and separate charges for rice, naan, and drinks, while keeping in mind that food consistency has occasionally been uneven.
Vegetarian and vegan diners can build a full meal, but explicitly labeled gluten-free choices appear much more limited.
