   I love the food at Gunpowder. I also really appreciate that it isn't a loud space. We could all hear each other and enjoyed a delicious meal with comfortable conversation, unlike some places where I can barely hear the person sitting beside me which, for me, ruins everything.

   Cannot fault this place, everything about it was well thought out, well executed and I will absolutely be going again. The food was well flavoured, well spiced and portioned, not too much/too little. I paid £50 approx for myself and a guest (lunch) and walked away very happy. Great little place.

   The ambience was intimate and the lighting particularly good. The staff were attentive and professional. The problem was that we had read so many good reviews of the food, we had quite high expectations. We both ordered the vegetarian menu and found it to be hit and miss. The Aloo Chat was delicious and the curried eggs were very enjoyable too. However, the tough broccoli in a sour and spicy sauce was borderline unpleasant. The main disappointment was the main / final course: bland rice (I yearned for cumin, or coconut, or something that would make it nicer than the boil in the bag rice one might cook at home), and Sag Paneer that was just a bit flavourless. The Sag was nice enough, paneer is mild by nature, but it was a boring end to a meal that started with good promise.

   We had the set menu (non vegetarian) - traditionally cooked Indian food, fabulous flavours and spices, delivered separately over time (not rushed) each dish just enough to share. Being a small space, everyone is close including the staff and that adds to the whole ambience and all the staff are attentive and genuinely friendly and personable. Most likely one of the best and most original Indian restaurants in London. And the Malbec was good too of course! This sounds like the kind of flattering review I’d read and think was false, but this one is real! Loved it and will be back.

   We had the pre-set menu. Food was delicious. However, this place is very small and if you come as a couple they will sit another couple right next to you at the same table for four if they have larger groups (which they did the night we were there). Table is too small to accommodate all the dishes. Noise level is incredibly loud. Only come here for the food.

   Gunpowder has a good array of tapas-style Indian delicacies. The Spicy Venison and Vermicelli Doughnut is a must-have as well as the Chettinad Pulled Duck.

   Compact in size but big in flavour. Every single item we ordered was delicious. The lamb chops are to die for.
