Why It Made the Black Book

Gunpowder's enduring consistency—legendary Kerala beef fry, fiery Andhra prawn curry, appams cooked to order, and signature kokum cocktails—makes it an indispensable culinary stop in North Goa for any serious gourmet.

Concierge Insider Note

Pair the Malabar beef roast with an order of hot, layered coin parottas and their signature spiced kokum margarita.
