    7/10 Tried Dave's…read moreHot Chicken for the first time today at their new location in Hamden, CT, and I've got to say -- the place definitely makes a great first impression. When you walk in, it's bright, colorful, and lively -- the kind of atmosphere that'll really appeal to younger crowds. There's plenty of seating, and I was greeted right away. Everything looked clean and well-kept, and my food came out in a decent amount of time. I ordered two slider sandwiches (one for me, one for my wife) and the 10-piece bites for our three-year-old. Our daughter liked the bites but didn't finish them -- which is pretty standard toddler behavior! Now, my wife and I both agreed: the chicken was juicy and flavorful, but we personally wished it had a bit more crisp to it. The kale slaw on the sandwich was a nice surprise -- first time I've had kale slaw, and it worked well with the pickles and Dave's sauce. One of the employees suggested adding honey, and while it added a sweet kick, I think the sandwich was solid enough without it. Overall, I'd give the experience a 7 out of 10. The food was fresh, the flavor was there, and the service was great. I'd definitely return to try something else on the menu. Plus, with Popeye's being the only other chicken spot nearby, it's nice to have another option in Hamden.

    Service was pretty quick for day 2 opening. The cashier was friendly and efficient. The place…read morehas lots of indoor seating. Drink options were great; soda, slushy, and shakes. Prices are on par with other fast food restaurants in the area

    I've lived in North Haven for 2.5 years and finally tried hot chicken for the first time at Haven…read moreHot Chicken. I went with the mild sandwich, and it was very good! To me, it tasted like a perfect blend of Chick-fil-A and Popeyes--great texture with excellent crunch, and the chicken was moist and full of flavor. The fries were just okay; the crunchier ones were tasty, but they were mixed with some softer, less crispy pieces. The banana pudding was a nice treat too--definitely good. What really stood out was the exceptional staff. They were super friendly and even gave me some complimentary items since it was my first time trying hot chicken. That's fantastic customer service and great business! The only downsides: The place is very small, so don't plan on sitting down to eat if you're with more than one person (it's mostly takeout vibes). Also, the pricing feels expensive--the sandwich alone is $13.49, and adding the combo (with fries and a drink) bumps it up another $4.75. On the bright side, there are plenty of fries to share with someone else. Overall, I highly recommend it for the chicken and service, especially if you're craving Nashville-style hot chicken locally.

    I've been wanting to try HHC for quite a while because I have a friend who raves about it. I…read morefinally placed an order online to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did! I ordered THE sandwich combo with mild spice, mac & cheese, and of course banana pudding for desert. My sandwich was so juicy, tender, and crunchy! It was perfectly topped with just the right amount of coleslaw, pickles and rob sauce. I got the mac & cheese without spice just to try it, and honestly wasn't impressed. While very creamy, the cheese left a funny after taste I didn't like. Now the banana pudding on the other hand, that was amazing! It reminded me of southern style banana pudding with hints of cinnamon. My husband picked up the order for me. It was ready quickly and the servers were very friendly from what he said. It's definitely a take out place, as there is very little seating. I will gladly order from here again because I'm already thinking about that chicken sandwich again!

    Excellent food - stayed close by for 3 nights and ended up coming back here every day to try out…read moredifferent things on the menu. I do not regret it. If you like chicken sandwiches and you like Indian style of cooking and spices, you will like this. Ambiance and service is fine, but not the reason to go here.

    I found this place while randomly looking on DoorDash. They had a happy hour special, so I decided…read moreto check them out. If you enjoy the flavors of Indian food as well as one of those quick service, hot chicken restaurants you probably would enjoy Hot Murga. The chicken sandwich comes in five spice levels from no heat to super hot. I got the standard hot, and it has some kick, but it wasn't overpowering. Then again I enjoy spicy food. I also ordered their spiced mac & cheese. Again, not spicy at all, but flavorful. Also a good portion as I have leftovers for later. I had my food delivered, but this establishment is close to the Yale campus and street parking can be a bit tricky on Howe St. and around Broadway. I've been inside of the space once when it was a different restaurant some years ago, it's not a large space, but I'm pretty sure comfortable if you decided to dine in. If you ever find yourselves at a crossroad between wanting Chick-fil-A and Indian food, this would be a great alternative.

    -- 3/5 My wife,…read moredaughter, and I visited Dave's Hot Chicken in Milford today, and overall, the experience was a mixed bag -- especially when comparing it to the newer location in Hamden. First Impressions & Cleanliness Right away, a few things threw us off. The floors were sticky in several areas. The table we sat at hadn't been cleaned -- leftover crumbs, empty ketchup packets, and general debris. The bathroom smelled strongly of urine, to the point that it reminded me of NYC project hallways. These first impressions affected the overall vibe of the visit. Order Pickup I ordered online, and the screen showed my food as ready. But when I went to the counter, the staff told me they were still plating it. Not a big deal -- I waited another five or six minutes before being called. No complaints there. Food Quality We ordered: The 2-slider + fries meal to split The 10-piece bites + fries for our daughter Flavor-wise, the food was okay, but the attention to detail wasn't consistent: My slider came with barely any slaw and no kale at all, even though it should include kale slaw, pickles, and Dave's sauce. I had to go back up and ask for slaw on the side, which they provided promptly, and then I fixed the sandwich myself. The sliders still had decent flavor, and the chicken was juicy, but the lack of freshness and proper build took away from the experience. Overall The Hamden location was noticeably cleaner and more organized. The Milford restaurant felt a bit neglected during our visit, which overshadowed what could've been a solid meal. Rating: 6/10 -- or 3/5 stars. We'd consider returning, but definitely hope for a cleaner environment next time.
