Tucked away near Arbat Street, Mad Murphy’s Irish Pub brings together the charm of an Irish tavern with the bold Flavors of Indian cuisine — a delightful surprise in the heart of Almaty.
From the moment you enter, the ambiance sets the mood: rich wooden interiors, vintage music-themed décor, and large LED screens streaming live sports. Whether you're a football fanatic or just out for a relaxed evening, the vibe is welcoming and full of character.
The drinks menu is extensive — especially for beer lovers. We sipped on golden ales that paired perfectly with spicy masala nuts, setting the tone for what turned into a flavorful evening.
What truly stole the spotlight was the Indian fare. From perfectly grilled chicken tikka and crispy onion pakoras to the rich, creamy butter chicken, every dish impressed. Served with naan and a trio of flavorful curries, the food was both comforting and standout.
Service is friendly and attentive, and the free pool table is a fun bonus. With both indoor and outdoor seating, Mad Murphy’s is ideal for all seasons.
If you’re in Almaty craving quality Indian food with an Irish twist and a great place to unwind, this spot is a must-visit.
