Gunpowder Spitalfields is an intimate Indian restaurant on White’s Row, close to Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market. Its cooking takes inspiration from family recipes and regional traditions, presenting bold flavours through a concise menu of modern plates designed for sharing.
Snacks and smaller dishes encourage diners to explore several flavours at once. French bean pakora, prawn toast and aloo chaat sit beside grilled vegetables and spiced salads, with yoghurt, tamarind, chickpeas and fresh herbs bringing contrast to the heat and richness.
The grill produces some of the kitchen’s best known dishes, including tandoori chicken chop and charred seafood. Kerala beef pepper fry, beef short rib nihari, soft shell crab and seasonal fish show how recipes from different parts of India are interpreted with confident seasoning and careful technique.
Rice, raita and vegetable sides help turn three or four shared plates into a complete meal, while larger seafood feasts suit groups. Cocktails use flavours such as cardamom, raw mango and ghee, and a compact wine and beer selection gives diners further choices alongside the spice of the food.
