We had a wonderful lunch for 2 at Gunpowder!
Mustard Broccoli was good, the venison was a treat and the potato dish which I forgot it's name was divine!
The seabream was wonderful and make sure to order the yogurt on the side!
Pudding desert. All highly recommended

I had dinner here to celebrate a birthday and we had a pleasant experience.

Food was lovely, between 2 people you definitely need 2-3 sharing starters as we didn’t get much in our main. We ordered Okra Fries, Gunpowder Chaat and Mustard Malai Broccoli. I would recommend the okra fries, they were coated in a nice crispy chickpea batter. Although having the okra slightly bigger would have been great. Also the malai broccoli was amazing. The malai sauce adds lots of flavour to the broccoli. As for our mains we had steamed rice and Saag with Tandoori Paneer.

The service was great, friendly staff and very helpful. The only bit I did not enjoy as much was how cramped the restaurant is. It’s like your invading each other spaces.

Overall, we enjoyed the food but it is rather expensive for the portion sizes you get. I would definitely say it is more on the expensive side for an Indian cuisine.

Sexy little spot, great for date nights and catch ups. (Not a great solo dining spot) It was absolutely heaving on a Monday evening (popular).
Good service - inconspicuous attentiveness is how I'd best describe it.
Food was nice, we ordered about 12 plates between the 3 of us and it was enough, we all left fully satisfied.
Forgot to take pics but here's a pic of the bread & butter dessert 😋.
I'll be back!
