What is it? A modern Indian bistro tucked into the breezy backstreets of Pererenan. The space is warm and intimate – all moody lighting, deep red tones and sleek design – but it’s the food that really steals the show. Chef Gaurav crafts a menu that pulls from India’s diverse regions.
Why we love it: Red Gunpowder is the kind of place where you’ll want to order one of everything, and then come back to do it again. Highlights include the smoked octopus in ginger masala (tender, charred, unforgettable), fluffy garlic naan straight from the tandoor, and the Kashmiri lamb shank that falls off the bone.
Time Out tip: If you’re coming with a group, go family-style so you can sample more of the menu. It gets busy, so book ahead.
