Drawing the menu together, Gunpowder Cafe delivers a tight but memorable selection that balances comfort and flair, with each dish reflecting the kitchen’s attention to bold flavor and satisfying texture. The Garlic Naan remains a benchmark item-pillowy, aromatic, and essential for scooping up the richly spiced curries without overwhelming them. Small plates offer some of the menu’s most engaging bites, especially the Samurai Chaat, which layers crisp, tangy, and creamy elements into a playful dish that feels both familiar and inventive. Among the entrées, the Sautéed Eggplant Masala stands out for its silky texture and deep, slow-built heat, achieving a balance that highlights the vegetable rather than masking it. Across the board, the menu stays focused and unfussy, delivering satisfying portions and confident seasoning while keeping prices reasonable. The result is a dining experience that feels grounded yet expressive, with each highlighted dish reinforcing the café’s commitment to fresh preparation and vibrant flavor.
