"While Brick Lane is famous for its Bangladeshi curry houses, our must-visit South Asian restaurant is a five-minute walk away. Gunpowder’s take on Indian classics is something everybody should be trying. Think tamarind soup shots, moreish okra fries, and venison doughnuts—plus, the kind of snug, wraparound wood panelling that makes us think of post-soft shell crab naps." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"We love their original Spitalfields location so it’s no surprise that this Soho restaurant was among favourite new spots this year. Expect excellent lamb chops, and a mutton roll you’ll want to order about 50 of." - jake missing, rianne shlebak
"Modern Indian spot Gunpowder has opened a new location in Soho so you’ll want to get down there pronto. Seriously, chop chop. If you’re wondering why then you obviously haven’t had an evening with their famous Kashmiri lamb chops. Needless to say, they’re a favourite on our absolutely-not-niche-at-all guide to Lamb Chops You Should Be Eating Right Now." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"In our office we don’t have debates about Oasis or Blur or The Fast and the Furious vs Furious 7. We debate Gunpowder’s kashmiri lamb chops vs Brigadiers’ tandoori lamb chops. Back and forth, to and fro, all roads leading to one place: hunger. At the end of the day, they’re both really, really, head-noddingly delicious. The Gunpowder ones above, Kashmiri style, are magnificent specimens. Thick with a coat of spiced yoghurt marinade, the meat collapses into your mouth. It sort of succumbs to your salivation, blackened bits left on the bone, and all." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"With locations in Shoreditch and Tower Bridge, Gunpowder offers a little bit of that geographic spread that Dishoom has. It also offers things that Dishoom doesn’t, like their famous curry venison-filled doughnut, and lamb chops the size of a VHS tape. They also offer a two or three-course set lunch that comes to £10 as part of EOTHO." - jake missing
