Gunpowder Indian Cuisine is a great addition to the LSU area! It's an ethnic option that is a…read morewelcome addition on this side of town. It's nestled into a strip mall on Highland Road near its junction with Boyd. This area has ample surface parking. The interior is simple and contemporary, allowing diners to focus on the menu. Indian cuisine can be complex, and there are a lot of choices offered. However, the menu does a good job of explaining the dishes and their ingredients. It's fun to try out different things and learn about new dishes that one might like. I'm trying to break out of the habit of always trying a dish I'm familiar with. In my last visit I ordered Chicken Masala Noodles which is definitely different. Can't say as I have ever had an Indian pasta dish before. The service is both subdued and attentive, which is classy. They will surprise you with their appearance just when they are needed.

The standout for me was the veggie fried rice. It had great flavor, and I'd honestly come back for that alone. The Snake Wrangler drink was also a favorite. The only downside was the hot honey. It was very light on both the wings and the bao bun, so the flavor didn't come through as much as expected. Service was efficient and attentive. It's a nice, quaint spot with a cozy patio and indoor seating. Still a solid happy hour option, and I'd definitely return.

The food tastes fine, there's no major issues culinarily; it just never meets expectations to the point my wife and I roll our eyes and groan every time it comes up in the "Where should we go for dinner?" conversation. The Vodka freeze is one of the best drinks in Baton Rouge IMO, they definitely have that going for them. Just never overly impressed with the food.

They forgot to add the ramen eggs in our bowls and, when they brought it to our table, we had to slice them in half ourselves which was a struggle to do since all of us had chopsticks lol It was also a struggle trying to flag down somebody to help us with some of the wrong orders but it was a busy hour so we understand.

When you read the reviews below, most people know what this restaurant is and how it works. My…read moreresponse is less harsh about the service or it's overpriced charcuterie board concept. I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.

She came across as short, unfriendly, and overall not very pleasant. I first ordered a Banana Foster's Martini, but she came back and said they didn't have the ingredients. No problem--I asked for an Espresso Martini instead. A few minutes later, after bringing everyone else's drinks, she returned and simply said they couldn't make that either and asked if I wanted something else. At that point, I just declined. When it was time to order, our table had nine people. She took my husband's order, then went around the table taking everyone else's order. By the time she got back to me, she said, "Okay, is that it?" I had to remind her that she hadn't taken my order yet. I ordered the crab and corn bisque, a salad, and the stuffed catfish with creamed spinach. The salad came out quickly and was very good. Then everyone else at the table received their meals while I only received my bisque. After waiting, I was told my stuffed catfish "didn't come out right" and had to be remade. At that point, I honestly wondered if it was a joke. It wasn't. By the time my entrée arrived, everyone else was nearly finished eating. To the restaurant's credit, they did remove the stuffed catfish from my bill, and I appreciated that. However, the entire experience left me feeling overlooked from start to finish. My biggest suggestion would be for our waitress to work on her customer service. A smile goes a long way. Saying things like "Give me that plate," slamming cups onto the table, and appearing annoyed throughout the meal doesn't create a welcoming dining experience. Hospitality is just as important as the food, and I hope this feedback is taken constructively.

The place is large and they opened up the rooftop in the last few years so there is usually seating available. The food typically comes out fairly quickly, but it can get very busy so a little patience is needed at times. As for the food, this is a classic Cajun spot. Come get alligator bites, boudin balls, catfish, poboys, red beans and rice, jambalaya, etc. You name it, and they probably have it. The food is always good and the portions are large.
