"Red Gunpowder is a contemporary Indian restaurant in Pererenan, the charming and lower-key neighbor of Canggu on Bali’s southwest coast. The dark dining room is illuminated by candles and strings of fairy lights, and rustic wooden walls and tables are surrounded by greenery that spills out to an open-air terrace. It makes a dreamy backdrop for a feast of claypot curries, dishes like slow-cooked octopus marinated in fragrant ginger masala, and an array of hot and char-speckled naan. (Try the unexpectedly delightful blue cheese variety.) Cocktails like the Curry Mule and Masala Chai Sour, infused with Earl Grey tea and homemade masala syrup, are just as clever and unexpected. On the first Wednesday of the month, the restaurant hosts a sitar night, when an already-romantic meal is set to live string music." - Regan Stephens
