Gunpowder

About

Gunpowder is a cult favorite restaurant located in a heritage Portuguese bungalow in Assagao. It is the perfect antidote to the typical beach shack, offering a lush, garden-setting dining experience. The restaurant serves fiery, authentic Peninsular Indian cuisine (Kerala, Andhra, Tamil Nadu) that has won over tourists and locals alike. The star dishes are the Kerala Beef Fry, Pandhi (Pork) Curry, and the flaky, layered Malabar Parotta. Their cocktails are innovative, often using local ingredients like kokum and tamarind. The ambiance is bohemian and relaxed, often featuring live jazz or blues music in the background. Gunpowder also houses a small boutique shop selling curated clothing and jewelry. It captures the "Susegad" (laid-back) spirit of Goa while delivering food that packs a serious punch of flavor.
