There was a slight mix-up with the lamb vindaloo, but the staff was extremely apologetic and quickly resolved the issue. The restaurant was very clean, and the decor was nice.

The service was quick and friendly and they decorated the space very nicely, warm and inviting. The menu is extensive and in my experience, had many unique dishes, especially the desserts. The missing star is because the waitress wouldn't consider asking the chef about preparing a certain dish. They had Kashmiri naan on the menu, not something usually found here in this area. My favorite biryani is a Kashmiri biryani. They obviously had all the ingredients, and I was also told it used to be on the menu, but she wouldn't even ask. I haven't seen Kashmiri anything on an Indian restaurant menu since 20+years ago so there was excitement, but then some disappointment.

The menu offers a very broad list of Regional Indian Cuisine. Lamb, goat, chicken, seafood, variety of basmati rices and biryani, vegetarian dishes, dosa, tandoori, curries, Indo Chinese, a dozen different types of naan and kulchas. The four stars are for the food only. We tried the cilantro, chicken soup and the onion PAKODA, fritters, which were outstanding, the Indo Chinese vegetable fried rice was excellent, Kodi vapudu very spicy dry rub with green chilies. It was a bit different than I've had before with the addition of cashews and dark meat instead of white meat, but it was spicy and good. Ambiance is basic with fun Bollywood movies and music in the background and on the TV, clean and organized. But apparently they do a ton of takeout rather than dine in. The service was by the the owner who was incredibly friendly, very hospitable, enthusiastic about the regional cuisine and very knowledgeable about all of the dishes and their preparation.

When ordering online you can choose your heat level from mild to very hot.

I tried the gobi manchurian, garlic naan, malai kofta and vegetable jalfrezi. The malai kofta and jalfrezi came with basmati rice. The gobi manchurian and the malai kofta were excellent. The jalfrezi was overly oily and salty - do not recommend. The server was efficient, though not super friendly. The ambiance was elegant, but reminded me of Indian restaurants in the US from the 80s - plenty of South Asian brick a brac of dubious quality, white tablecloths, and generic Bollywood instrumental music. I haven't tried enough Indian restaurants in the area to be able to tell if there are better ones in the area. I would however recommend getting a mix of heavy and light dishes instead of exclusively heavy ones.

The eggplant appetizer special was one of the best things we had. Hopefully, they add it to the regular menu so it's always available. For appetizers we also enjoyed the lamb sliders and one person got a lentil soup. The lentil soup was very small. We were all expecting a bigger bowl of soup. Someone in my party had gotten it for takeout before and we think they might have gotten more soup when it was takeout. The two entrees we got and naan were also delicious.

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.
