Gunpowder (Spitalfields)

• It is indeed an honour to be the first among the Zomato community to review a brilliant restaurant that I KNOW is going to make a name for itself very soon
• Nestled away in one of the by lanes adjacent to London's famous Spitalfields market (barely a 1 min walk actually) is a true GEM of a restaurant serving Indian tapas with a TWIST
• The combination is just divine
• The lamb chops are the best I've had in London
• It's a spicy and sweet preparation with slices of fried pork
• Could come with a bit more chillies though but I do appreciate everyone might not enjoy a super fiery dish
• Other dishes of note are the chilli cheese toast good ol' comfort food you get in good canteens back in India
• Also the Saag Paneer which my wife and friends were waxing eloquent about
• The owners have promised that the menu is going to keep changing
• Harneet recommended I try the tamarind margarita which was spectacular
• Everything we tried was mouthwatering delicious
• The hosts are delightful and take extra care that you are being served and fed well
• My dinner at newly opened Gunpowder was a tasty meal &ndash
• Come to Gunpowder for hearty eats backed with sophisticated heat
• Gol gappas are transformed to rasam bombs with a distinct masala dosa takeaway
• As fearlessly authentic cooking with an eye for exploration
• My favourites aloo chaat (this is proper aloo tikki chaat
• Saag paneer (this is almost half the menu
• S hard to refuse when the waiter endorses it with such misty eyed enthusiasm
• The portion of each dish was perfect and as a vegeterian
• My passion and trying new restaurants and experiences in London and abroad is my one true love
• T booked anything yet and you are having a panic Gunpowder (Spitalfields) has stopped taking reservations so get there for 5
• 30 and you might be in with some good luck
• M from Australia and find that Chinese Asian is my go to cuisine whenever it&rsquo
• The other half of this site is English and leans quite far into the Indian camp anytime she gets her way
• This little restaurant is named Gunpowder
• Everything cooked to perfection and they really nailed it with the east/west fusion
• The Kashmiri lamb chops are possibly the best lamb chops I have had in my life
• Pulled duck with homemade oothappam
• I feel the quality and passion of cooking is exactly what Dishoom used to be like before it became trendy and overpopulated
• The small sharing plate movement has slowly been taking over every facade of London dining to the point where to order a dish just for yourself is beginning to feel foreign
• No cuisine is safe as this change in mentality slowly engulfs everyone
• So I guess it was inevitable that Gunpowder would come to fruition serving up sharing plates of the Indian variety
• Gunpowder has situated itself a stones throw away from traditional Indian stomping ground Brick Lane which is curiously ironic because
• It has blazed ahead offering a variety of traditional dishes with a twist or new dishes which adhere to traditional flavours
• The karwari soft shell crab and sigree grilled mustard broccoli were both winners worthy of your time and will be staples for me going forward on return
• This restaurant is a small gem in splitalfield area and specialises in small plates ( Indian style tapas)
• Rasam bomb is a must try
• Gunpowder (Spitalfields) is just exceptional
• S small and quite tightly packed fitting with Gunpowder&rsquo
• It seats around 20 25 people and there is a small bar serving up creative Indian themed cocktails
• The space is a converted curry house with the red brick walls and some of the old furniture making the cut to stay
• I could easily say I tried some of the best Indian food I&rsquo
• Both serve Indian small plates and both are very popular
• The lamb chops were recommended and definitely a good choice
• Perhaps because it is difficult to find tucked away in the corner behind Spitalfields market
• Their modern take on Indian food is something I've not come across before in Dubai or London (and theres a lot of those out there
• Tiny restaurant with concept of Indian Tapas &
• The venison was quite decent &
• Really small place with tight seating
• Ordered the spicy venison and vermicelli donut and Kashmiri lamb chops which were probably the better dishes of the night
• I was very impressed with the potato dish (aloo chat) with the variety of taste you get from it
• Very different kind of indian fusion food that mixes traditional and western with indian flavours
• They have half portions which is great if you want to try more things
• We did have some trouble regarding one dish because we were vegetarian and the one that was brought wasn&rsquo
• Luckily they fixed it for us and that was good and they were also having a very busy day
• Then staying by the door is simply an awful time
• It was cooked to perfection and very mildly marinated with mustard seeds
• Bhindi fry Bhindi was crispy and batter was very thinly smeared
• Chicken Tandoori it was organic baby chicken
• It was also very well cooked and loved the chutney which was served with it
• Chettinad pulled duck duck tasted good with all the masala in it
• Service staff was very friendly and helpful
• It's a handsome place but acoustics are lousy when it is crowded
• The food is good but be warned that portion sizes are dainty relative to rather high prices
• We started with aloo chat which is a really fresh and bright dish I like
• Kashmiri grilled lamb chops were divine and came with a punchy coriander chutney
• It came with some strands of pickled cabbage where the acidity was a nice foil for the fatty meat
• Patara maach was fish steamed in banana leaf on the grill served with some spiced pickled cauliflower
• Fish was tender and rubbed with a nice emongrassy paste
• The only dish we ordered I didn't care for were the okra fries
• I like bhindi when the okra's are halved lengthwise and dredged in chickpea flour before deep frying
• Though the frying technique was perfect (crisp
• At full price with a bottle house wine
• Worth it because it was refined and elevated
• Their dishes are tapas style
• The food they offer are the best quality and taste with great customer service by manager and his team
