"This is a review of the new Gunpowder in the One Tower Bridge development that doesn't have it's own entry in Zomato yet. 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. I love that they seem to focus on the lighter, brighter side of Indian cooking instead of the stodgy fatty things available in a typical curry house. We started with aloo chat which is a really fresh and bright dish I like. Boiled spiced potato and cauliflower, tart yoghurt, sweet tamarind sauce, fresh notes of raw coriander and raw red onion and micro herbs, garnished with a little deep fried lotus root. Well balanced and tasty. Peanut and flattened chickpea chaat was great too. Skin on peanuts, spring onion, coriander, cucumber and chickpeas that had indeed been pounded flat and roasted. Kashmiri grilled lamb chops were divine and came with a punchy coriander chutney. Very tender, served medium rare, with a flavourful spice rub. 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. However, these had been cut into very thin julienne slivers and then tossed in the chickpea flour. Though the frying technique was perfect (crisp, with no greasy texture) slicing the okraso finely resulted in a heavy dish. We attended the reduced price soft launch. At full price with a bottle house wine, dinner for two would have been £70 including service. Expensive for Indian, but worth it because it was refined and elevated."

Don't expect just simple traditional Indian dishes here; the chef elevates the cuisine to a whole new level. The food is of the highest quality and flavor, complemented by excellent customer service from the manager and his team. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious, punchy food. The lamb chops were recommended and definitely a good choice, some of the most tender meat I've had in a long while. It's a tiny little place but if you manage to grab a table and don't mind being a little packed in its a great spot for dinner with friends.

Excellent dining experience! Don’t expect traditional styles or large portions, but the dishes are skillfully crafted. The atmosphere is very cozy, and the warmth of the staff makes the experience even more enjoyable. Plus, it’s one of the few places in London where you can find Old Monk served!

As a friend of mine described it, Indian tapas . Each dish packs a punch, flavour to sell and give away. As an example, I was very impressed with the potato dish (aloo chat) with the variety of taste you get from it. It is a small and very busy place (we waited for 2h for a table), so do book ahead. And get ready to share lots of different options with friends.

Your parents were wrong; it's not rude to play with your food. gunpowder plays with her eating, and her recipes are explosive. they smash something traditional into something modern and boom! a menu full of something special. their dishes are tapas style, concentrated small plates are perfect for sharing. this spicy venison and vermicelli doughnut is a funny, a coat of crispy thorns covered by a crispy ball of the floor, spicy charged pinballs.

Possibly one of London's newer (and underrated Indian restaurants, perhaps because it is difficult to find tucked away in the corner behind Spitalfields market. This 25-ish gastropub seater has some amazing food and vibes! With classic Hindi music, cosy interiors and warm staff,I felt very welcome.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! We ordered: two glasses of their Malbec, the aloo chaat, the venison and vermicelli donut ,chutney cheese toast and half mustard broccoli . We loved ALL of it. To end our meal we ordered the Old Monk bread pudding- a special. Whilst it was a great end to our meal, both...

In a nutshell it’s a place to try indian finger food, quirky place and great service. Ambiance : it’s quite a small place and they have used the space very efficiently. Food : limited menu which caters to everyone (vegetarian sea food white meat red meat) Banana wrapped fish it’s a must for sea food fans, it was cooked to perfection and very mildly marinated with mustard seeds. Bhindi fry Bhindi was crispy and batter was very thinly smeared, which lets one to get the taste of Bhindi. Chicken Tandoori it was organic baby chicken, certainly meat tasted good, it was also very well cooked and loved the chutney which was served with it. Gunpowder aloo chat its a dish where one has to strike balan...
