Gunpowder

As you walk into this tiny Indian place, it's the smell that hits you: the delicious tang of spices and incense. The punchy food is inspired by family recipes and home cooking: plates are small and designed for sharing. The flavours of each dish are divine, though not always suitable for the heat-fearing.

Gunpowder doesn't take reservations. With a spot this small, be prepared to wait.
