Absolutely delicious food, great service and good value! First time trying Gunpowder and will definitely be back. Special shout out to Rashmi for the wonderfully attentive service all night and for taking the time to explain the menu and recommend some dishes. In the end we had the vegetarian feast menu which meant we tried a lot of the vegetarian dishes on offer. I really enjoyed the creative twist on the standard Indian food you get in the U.K. in particular the gunpowder chaat, french bean pakoras, grilled artichoke and saag were all phenomenal. In total it was around £80pp with a bottle of wine and we left absolutely stuffed and with some leftovers to take home. Excited to come back and try some of the meat options in the future

⭐ 5 Stars We came all the way from South Africa and Mozambique, and this was by far the best restaurant we visited in London! The service was exceptional, a big thank you to Rashmi and Harry for making our experience unforgettable. The drinks and food transported us to another dimension, full of flavor and creativity. The dessert was a nostalgic delight that made us feel like kids again. If you’re looking for delicious Indian food with an exciting modern twist, I highly recommend this place. We will definitely be coming back! Regards, Shaima Noor
