It’s 5 star food. Tandoori chicken was superb, had to order another! Nice ‘tapas’ small dishes. Cosy though, tightly packed. Mouth watering now reflecting on this place. Worth a visit.

From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was a symphony of flavors, perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious. The spices were authentic and the ingredients fresh, creating a truly memorable culinary experience. I particularly enjoyed the Okra fries, the Saag with Paneer and the Grilled Prawns, all were cooked to perfection. The service was equally impressive. The staff were attentive and courteous, always ready to accommodate our needs with a smile. In terms of price, the restaurant offers excellent value for money. The portions were generous, and the quality of the food was well worth the price. Overall, I would not hesitate to dine here again. The combination of exquisite food, outstanding service, and great value makes this restaurant a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Fantastic dining experience, choice of small plates tapas style and sharing platters. Delicious alternative to traditional Indian meal.

Such beautiful food, amazing atmosphere and the friendliest staff I think I’ve ever met. Whilst only a small venue, it really works. Trust the staff’s recommendations.

We had a superb lunch - the food, especially the masala, was absolutely delicious! Patrycja was most cheerful, helpful and friendly in serving us. We’ll definitely return!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The menu was straightforward and we weee spoilt for choice. The staff provided us with helpful information. The shot bomb started was a delight, and although every dish was lovely, the venison donut deserves special mention. Quite extraordinary. Great wines by the glass and an excellent cocktail too.

We live nearby and this was our 3rd visit to the Gunpowder. It’s really tasty Indian food, promptly served, in a cozy atmosphere. We had a French friend across and he was also enraptured. Special mention to the seabass, the pork ribs, the okra fries, and many others. We had a delicious dinner.

We went for a very early dinner. Food is really nice, good wine and very friendly people around. For sure we will be back. Almost forgot about a dessert, bread and butter is a must.

Really loved our visit. Lots of places say they are doing Indian tapas then disappoint! Gunpowder certainly didn’t - even made broccoli exciting. Recommend you book as packed on a Tuesday evening. 😀

Walk in on Saturday night and pleased to get a seat…. Didn’t know what to expect but menu looked interesting, if not familiar. Staff very attentive and explained the menu items. They recommended around 5 items (like tapas menu) but since we were not hungry chose 3. Venison Doughnut. Potato chaat and mustard broccoli and 2 glasses of their house Portuguese red. It was all delicious and very different from my normal Indian food. Venison was the best ! Very nice visit and will return with an appetite next time

The lunch menu is fairly priced 22£ for two courses. The tandoori chicken chop was very small . The okra fries were reasonable. Main dish- strips of beef in a curry sauce was a decent portion . A bowl of white rice was included . The waiter was not customer friendly and unusual for such a restaurant did not replace the plates and cutlery - why should I eat curry beef on a plate with tandoori sauce ? Ate many Indian restaurants and this one has a very limited menu plus wooden stools uncomfortable .

If you want overpriced microwave heated curry for lunch on uncomfortable wooden chairs with unhelpful staff, this is the place for you. Not really Indian at all as the pork ribs were Chinese. The potato chaat was cold the feast at £50 a head was sooooo over priced . Avoid

Called to make a group booking. Spoke to Sophie who could do with extra training on her telephone manners on how to speak to potential customers. She was rude, arrogant and abrupt. I complained about her behaviour to Gunpowder and they turned around and said I was the rude and disrespectful person. They also told me I wasn’t welcome in any of their restaurants as they value the safety and security of their staff. Gunpowder how about you employ staff with manners and ones that can speak in English. I have no reason to spend a penny in any of your restaurants as you didn’t deal with my issues in a proper manner. You listened to Sophie’s lies and made me out to be the problem. After reading the negative reviews about this branch on Google I am glad we didn’t turn up at your restaurant and wasted our money.

What a great discovery. We wouldn’t have found this, tiny little place down a small street but a good review led us to it. It’s so small I’d definitely recommend booking. The food is brilliant, some of the best we had in London. As it’s small, it’s lively and compact so if you want a quiet romantic night, maybe this isn’t your place. We couldn’t fault this place, amazing.

Had a wonderful visit to Gunpowder Spitalfields. First of all, the food was so good. A little pricey for the portion sizes, but due to us going for a special occasion, every penny was worth it. Highlights definitely being the chaat and the mustard broccoli....

Very intimate atmosphere, and the staff are really friendly and attentive. The food was good, if slightly overpriced. The waitress that served us (blonde hair) was lovely, so helpful and kind. All the staff we saw were very nice. We will definitely visit again!

I came here, following the Michelin guide’ recommendation. Found it very nice, with great quality and nice “different” specialties from the usual suspects you find in Indian restaurants. Ribs are especially delicious!!

What a wonderful find. We love Indian food and this was a fabulous place to eat it, with a twist. We couldn't decide so had the feast menu. Everything was lovely and they were happy to swap the beef for fish, which was so good!...

This place was amazing. Started off with an awesome free appetizer that was kind of like onion rings. Rice, Naan, and main dishes were delicious. Remember, BYOB, and they only take cash.
