Gunpowder Soho

Innovative Indian Cuisine with Impeccable Service

Dining at Gunpowder, nestled in the spirited laneways of Soho, unfolds as an epicurean journey peppered with delightful surprises. As you step into the restaurant, don't let the modest facade fool you. The vibrant buzz tells tales of shared laughter and soft shell crabs—remarkable highlights many patrons index as trip-worthy alone. The atmosphere is both intimate and bustling, lending itself ideally to both cozy dinners or larger soirées, albeit with a caveat regarding the inevitable crescendo of lively group conversations mingling extravagantly with Bollywood tunes in the background.

From starts as whimsical as their Masala Egg Bomb to heartier fare like the artichoke hearts and impressive Chicken 65, every dish begs for attention on a stage where modern flair meets cherished Indian culinary staples. It's not just taste that lingers here; it’s the feel-good factor imbued by doting servers like Agnelo and Sweta, transmitting culinary enthusiasm with each personal recommendation. Delight expands beyond the plate when service exudes genuine warmth—a rare city gift—alongside the Chef’s Bread and Butter Pudding, proving, perhaps unexpectedly, Indian tradition can sweetly embrace these comfort staples in transformative enjoyment. You might tussle to settle your bill with the same speed they orchestrate dishes, but rest assured the lingering taste memories beg you patiently back to culinary more. — Clarissa Cuisinier
