Summary: Intimate Bengali spot with flair.
At Gunpowder Soho, the ambiance is as vibrant as the flavors that fill the room. This culinary hotspot in Soho is the go-to for intimate dining experiences, marble-topped tables, and a menu that boasts a modern take on Bengali cuisine. Since its first opening in Spitalfields, Gunpowder has been perfecting the art of small plates. Diners can indulge in a variety of delicacies, from the crunch of soft-shell crab with Karwari spices to the tang of a grilled artichoke heart paired with red pepper masala. The menu offers big hitters too, like the Kerala beef sirloin pepper fry complemented by a simple onion salad, or the grilled summer pumpkin with Chettinad sauce and toasted coconut. Desserts are not to be missed, with the Old Monk bread and butter pudding promising a sweet end to the meal. The drinks list is just as impressive, featuring a dozen Indian-themed cocktails and a wide-ranging wine selection.
