Gunpowder - South Indian restaurant in Assagao - North Goa, India

Lovely Little Place, got a nice feel to it. service is prompt, the food served is southern Indian style,with lots of authentic veg options along with chicken/Meats & plenty of seafood.Enjoyed the Avial & Tamarind fish curry the most.Good place for lunch if you are in mood for some South Indian delicacies. (Make sure to pre book your tables in advance).

The food taste is awesome here. Especially the South Indian dishes like potato fry, pomfret pollichathu, appam. Plenty of Kerala recipes available on the menu. The service people are awesome with wonderful hospitality. Their trademark beers are also available. Especially the Gunpowder ale. Parking available but not suitable for physically challenged. Washrooms are good and clean.

We drove over an hour from South Goa to try this place out. There's ample parking in the back. It's an old home converted into an upscale south indian restaurant. The greenery around the property and their patios are large part of the appeal along with amazing south Indian delicacies. Take your time with the menu if youre not familiar with south Indian food names. There are proper descriptions under each food item and the staff can provide recommendations that suit your pallete. For cocktails we ordered the vodka lemonade and tamarind margarita. Lemonade was very refreshing. Margarita was average. We really enjoyed their mutton pepper varattu and also Kori sukka (chicken). The masala in both the dishes was best paired with their Malabar parotta made fresh to order. Appam was also nice. For mains, we order the Royyala Pulusu (Andhra Prawn Curry). It was delicious and fresh. We could see the fresh tomatoes in the curry. This was also best paired with their parotta. We also ordered their coconut mint chutney, which was very unique and tasted refreshing, as well as the gunpowder masala. It was decent. They have new desserts that are not on the menu. We tried the masala chai biscuit creme brulee as it sounded the most interesting. It was very well made. Overall, a great experience!

Good south Indian variety of food.. service is at its best. Great ambiance, homely and portuguese feel to it, specially seating in balcao.

We came here for lunch and loved everything Make sure you call and make a booking before you arrive as they usually have waiting It's a great place that serves amazing mango beer and cocktails The food was amazing too Loved the veg specially They have a very nice outdoor sitting too Would love to re-visit

We went here during our stay at Assagao and it's one of the most recommended restaurants in the area. It lives up to it's reputation. The menu is beautifully designed to give you a taste of Goan/ Coastal food. You can enjoy the taste of coconuts,cashews and a variety of spices through their dishes. The deserts are simple yet beautifully made to please your pallete! The outdoor ambience is very pleasant, especially at night. The staff is also very accommodating. It wasn't crowded when we went, but being a popular destination, it's recommended to have a booking. A must visit for your stay in North Goa!

Visited Gunpowder today and it was a lovely experience mainly because of the staff. My husband and I had gone there with our pet dog (a nervous Indie who struggles to feel okay in social spaces). But, they provided us a mat for her to sit on and they also offered to walk her while we ate (although Luna made sure that didn't happen, but that's besides the point). The food - pandi curry, prawn mappas and appams - were really nice! Really. So happy we went there for lunch :)

Editing the review after visiting this place again after some 5 years. So, its a beautiful old bungalow converted into a nice restaurant with outdoor as well as indoor seating. When I had visited earlier there were some very interesting & nice posters and wall art which i couldnt find them in second visit. However the vibe and service has improved. The service was amazing and food delicious. The servers are too sweet and dont over or under do it. The manager also came for a feedback of food which a lot of places in Goa dont even care. Definitely visiting this place whenever in Goa. Ordered prawn andhra masala and kerala mutton curry with appam and malabar parotha
