Ordered items as follows: Curd Rice Meen Varuthathu (Kingfish) Kerala Mutton Curry Malabar Parotta Soondal Appam Sambar Lemon Rice Chutney (Coriander) South Indian Filter Coffee My first impression: A place worth visiting for an amazing South Indian cuisine experience. From the ambience to the hospitality, the staff took care of everything. The environment felt a bit humid, which can be improved, but this is subjective. The quality of food was amazing and fresh, as the food was served hot and tasted as good as it looked. The preparation of the drinks was as good as the food. A must-visit place for some amazing non-veg and veg South Indian cuisine options. The mutton was flavored with spices and was marinated well enough to melt in your mouth. A family restaurant with good food and service.

Excellent quality food. Anyways been a favourite. Every single dish is top notch quality , never disappoints. Love this place .

Found a recommendation online for Gunpowder and it did not disappoint! The staff invited us in even though they weren’t open yet. The beers were delicious and the cocktails are worth trying a few…highly recommend the Tamarind Spicy Margarita. The portions are good size and so so tasty.

We had food at Gunpowder restaurant in Goa, and it was absolutely delicious! Unlike some other places where the menu is filled with too many confusing or mismatched versions, this restaurant clearly stands out. The owners have put a lot of thoughtful research into curating an authentic Indian menu. They’ve carefully selected some of the best traditional recipes from different states across India and brought them together in one place — and the taste truly speaks for itself. The ambience is warm and inviting, and the service is excellent. Overall, we were completely satisfied. This is a must-visit spot in Goa — highly recommended for anyone who loves real Indian flavors done right.. from HYDERABAD.
