Gunpowder

I absolutely LOVE the food here. I am a foodie, and cook Indian food, but this is sublime. A bit noisy though.

It’s an amazing dining experience with good food and good service! Love this cute Indian restaurant.

Fantastic food, great service

Gunpowder has a fantastic menu and delicious, imaginative dishes. Highly recommended!

Great food!

So cramped together, can’t sit together with other half and have a nice meal. Food was soooo bad

Amazing and different.
Small cosy place.
Indian food as I nevet tasted before

Really good food, venue is a bit cramped but you come here for the food

Really good flavours and innovative dishes! Especially if your looking for a different twist on Indian food. I can’t recommend this place enough

Good quality meat and tasty food with good portion sizes. The restaurant is quite compact and so the tables are close together which meant there was not a lot of privacy.

School canteen style format with dim lighting. I can’t give a full opinion of the menu as only one of my 2 dishes arrived . The ribs I had , were just syrup and mono sodium glutamate.where was the Indian influence! I’m particularly disappointed as I was impressed by the gunpowder book , which boasted an extensive knowledge of several regions of traditional Indian cuisine with a modern twist .Seeing other people’s food turning up , looked mediocre at best . The gunpowder masala spice on my husbands dish , was heavy with cinnamon and dominated any other spice used in it .

The food was lovely so can’t complain but pirtions smaller than I recall from the last visit. The waitress could have been more helpful with recommendations after advising the lamb was quite big. It wasn’t.
This was my one of my fav restaurants but for some reason the staff were not as accommodating or helpful as previous visits. Food is still amazing though.

Way too expensive, wayyyy to noisey! Food didn’t match the costs

Very tasty tapas style Indian food, great for sharing.

The crab was outstanding. Nice outmosphere. Interesting food. Fun area of town. I'll be going back.

Very good food in a simple environment. I would definitely recommend the saag (the best I've ever had) and the soft shell crab.

Not very good venue and not a good drinks choice food was ok but booked a table for 17:30 and when we got there 10 min early we then had to wait till 18:00 before they would start to make the food, wasn’t bad food but still a little disappointed

Another delicious lunch at one of the best Indian spots in town - the food was better than ever. Highlights were soft-shelled crab, pulled duck, fennel fish cakes and more.

I would get a table here if you can!

Obviously well sought after and successful restaurant, food was good but service average and we ended up not getting the signature dish of lamb chops. Maybe we caught a bad night..

The must have starter, hot spicy shot of soup with a round dhosa set a great standard that the rest of the meal matched. I shared a salad, a soft shell crab and a sticky pork rib dish with a friend. Each plate just kept getting better than the one before, we thought. The wine was good, fresh and inexpensive. Book now. There were queues of wanna be walk-ins.

Great food, along with a brilliant atmosphere. A litt neighbourhood gem!!

Second visit and it just gets better. Service was very personal, thoughtful and kind. Food just extraodinary, nice bottle of Chablis to wash it down, faultless

Can’t recommend enough. Delicious! It is a sharing menu so gives you the opportunity to try lots of different dishes!

Great food but too desperate to get you out to really enjoy. Great if you’re in a hurry but practically removing you’re food before you’re finished.

Don't really want to recommend Gunpowder as it is small and you have to wait for a table. The fewer people that know how good it is, the better (for me!). Have now managed to have everything on the menu at least twice. Not to be missed: egg curry masala, tandoori paneer, aloo chaat, venison 'doughtnut', and the soft shell crab.

Hard to pick favorites! Egg malsala. Soft shell crab. Venison doughnut. Lamb chops

The space is small, cozy and modern. And the food is unreal! Definitely suggest the lamb chops and spicy venison donut. The service was decent save we felt very rushed through our meal. The space is tiny so I can understand needing to turn tables quickly to avoid a long wait time, I just wish we could have savored our meal more rather than being pressed to leave. Overall we loved the food and will definitely return.

Second time and the food continues to stand out. Great opportunity to try lots of flavours and stumble over some great dishes that might well not have been ordered if the style of dining had been more traditional.

The food was EXCELLENT. We ordered the okra fries twice-- to die for!.
The service was incredible.

Perfect place. The sag paneer is to die for, omg. I would return just for that dish alone. All dishes would very nice but that one stood out as an all time great

This was a rather disappointing experience. The food was amazing - the best modern Indian I have had in a long time. However the service was shockingly bad. Confusingly so in this day and age and for a hip restaurant in London. We arrived at 12pm for a 12pm reservation. The restaurant was closed - staff still cleaning it up. They kept us waiting for about 15 mins without apology and were apathetic bordering on rude when my friend inquired when they would open. Service didn’t improve much later with a bored waitress asking us twice which bottle of wine we ordered (despite our pointing to it) and then bringing us the wrong bottle anyway. Mistakes can be excused but she continued to maintain that it was the bottle we had asked for. There were no niceties. The staff engaged in some sort of half muffled fight where one person was told to go home. All this in a Restaurant the size of a spacious corridor.

The only plus point was the food was DELICIOUS and the wine was good.

Mixed feelings here. I would go back for the food but without improving its abysmal service, this restaurant is going nowhere.

Best Indian food ever
Staff helpful
Kitchen serving great food
Beer and drinks quite pricey

Delicious! Light, modern Indian. Excellent location.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Every thing was delicious, especially the lamb chops and the aloo chaat.

Great food full of flavour. Perfect if you like Indian food with a tapas twist. Good service and booking is essential.

Seriously good food. Every thing we ordered was delicious and I only wish I could have managed to eat & try more of the dishes! It's a perfect place to share and was a lovely place to celebrate me & my partners anniversary. I definitely recommend and I will be going again to try more of the menu.

Brought first-timers and they enjoyed the food! It was tasty, portions were good and a suitable place for a quick team meal

Staff was very helpful walking us thru the menu and giving recommendations. We really enjoyed it

Best indian food I have tasted. So fresh , mouthwatering and moorish. Waitors were very helpful with recommending dishes.

Very small inside, so go early in order to have a seat.

This was out second visit to Gunpowder after being left craving another visit straight after our first time here! The food is like nothing else on earth it's so fresh and flavoursome I just wish it was closer to me as I'd definitely be a regular diner here!
