    Inside
    Eddie R.

    I can't turn down a good Peruvian restaurant. This is a small place with good ratings. I came in and sat right down. I asked for a recommendation. The guy at the register said the Chaufa de pollo. Exactly what I wanted. I sat at the window and watched the traffic and people while I waited. I could hear them cooking in the back. The food arrived and boy, did it look good. This was a good as I've had. A big plate of fried rice and chicken. The spicy sauce was a nice touch. I was hungry, and this filled me up. The place was very nice. The music was good for this place. I will be back.

    Lomo Saltado

    The lomo saltado was so delicious and unlike anything I had before! We also had the papa rellena, which was fine but not my personal preference. The service was very nice and she explained some of the menu items to us. The inside is quite small but they offer takeout as well.

    Love their lomo saltado!! Super nice and friendly service every time I go. Best Peruvian spot in New Haven!

    Ceviche Mixto
    W C.

    Peruvian food unparalleled in this area! My partner is from Lima, and together we have sampled Peruvian fare all over the tri-state area in search of that perfect bite. By chance today, after a shopping trip in New Haven, Yelp guided us to this little gem on Elm Street. Pictured are the three dishes we tried: papa a la huancaína, pollada, and the star of the day, ceviche mixto! All three were delicious, but the sumptuous tangy marinade on the ceviche was amazing! There is ample street parking. GO!

    Chicken, beans, fries and sauces are insane. Servers are friendly and very attentive.

    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.

    A fun take on fried chicken, but with "Indian" flavors. I got the Murga Sandwich (hot) and…read moreBadmaash's Mac & Cheese (medium). Honestly, I didn't think the Murga Sandwich itself had too much flavor - the fry was good and the chicken was juicy & crispy, it was just a lacking seasoning and even "hot" was not super spicy. The spice itself also tasted very one dimensional - just spicy, with no seasoning. Overall, I was a bit disappointed by the sandwich itself, but would be interested in trying some of their other sauces. The Badmaash Mac & Cheese was the redeeming item of the meal though - this is basically a Mac & Cheese, covered in tikka sauce & their spicy sauce, and topped with fried chicken. It's definitely a unique flavor, and I think the tikka masala sauce went really well with the cheesy mac texture. Definitely seems like the kind of late night out comfort craving, because it is super heavy. p.s. - pro tip, the sandwich itself is $12 but the sliders are $6 and definitely larger than half of a sandwich (probably closer to 2/3rds). So I'd get 2 sliders for $12 instead of a sandwich.

I got my order to go but when I got home the yam juice leaked onto the mac, greens and no juice left on yams. It was because the hot food collapsed the styrofoam. disappointed!!! I called the owner and he will make it right for my next visit. Those items I will have to review at a later date because everything tasted so sweet from the yam juice. Could not salvage those sides. Now let's talk egg rolls please. Those egg roll are AMAZING. I got a buffalo egg roll, steak and cheese, and hamburger egg roll. Each and every one was FANTASTIC. Get those. The wings were great. The taste was amazing on both flavors . I chose the buffalo and BBQ wet flavor. I really like the fact the wings were not the size of mini turkey wings. Those large wings are usually so meaty you chew for days. Woody Wings are just the right size. The inside of the restaurant is very cute for those that choose to dine in. They have good music as well. Next time you need some wings check out Woody Wings you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!!!

It is, without question, the best soul food in the state. I have no problem running down I-91 from Hartford just to get my food because the quality and taste are on a level that nobody else can touch. Don't let the neighborhood fool you; this is a masterclass in authentic cooking. Sandra and her husband Miguel have been running this place for over 30 years, and that level of dedication shows in every single dish. The food has the kind of soul and precision that defines the elite dining scene in Connecticut. If you want the real deal--the standard that every other soul food spot is measured against--this is the only place to go. It's a class act that has stayed true to its roots for over 30 years.

I caught Metro North from Grand Central and after the 2+ hour ride that's when I found out that they had no seating, which that is my fault for not researching. I ordered online and waited a hour and 13 mins for my food. The service was great. The owner was very friendly as well as the other staff. As I was waiting the gospel music was playing and it was nice. Once I got my food. I immediately gave it a try because I didn't want it cold or reheated for my review. The soul food empanadas with chicken were pretty good I would give them a solid 7 out of 10. The smothered chicken was very salty in my opinion. I would rate it a 5 out of 10, and the Mac & cheese tasted like boxed velveeta which I would rate a 4/10. I'm disappointed at how over hyped it seem. Not pictured was my order of fried fish and it was bland with no seasoning. The lemon on the side did no justice. I could've honestly caught it at a bad time because it was a Sunday and very busy, but I'm definitely not interested in going back.

They have bone in pieces, wings and boneless nuggets. The chicken is hand-battered and slow fried to give it that thick, extra crispy texture. They have many cool sauce options. Many of them are sweet and spicy, but with different flavor profiles. Try Galbi, Gang-Jeong, and Honey Soy Garlic. The Kimchi Fried Rice was good. It was topped with a fried egg with a runny yolk. The dish had a little bit of a good sour flavor from the acidity. 4.5 Stars
