What's On.
@gunpowdersocial on InstagramVenueSpaces.
Six spaces — a booth for eight through to the room end to end. Corporate functions, celebrations and private dining, built around whichever one suits.
Main Dining
Up to 62 guests
The main dining room — banquette seating under the sculpted ceiling, and the tandoor working behind it all. The room for the largest seated groups: launches, end-of-year gatherings and full-venue celebrations.
Patiala House
Up to 8 guests
A round booth set into the bottle shelving, under its own brass ring. Made for a table that talks across itself — client entertaining, or a birthday that wants its own corner.
Spice House
7–8 guests
The second booth, curved into shelves of spice jars and brass. An intimate table for a small celebration or a quiet business dinner.
Delhi Room
Up to 25 guests
A private room with one long table down its length, lit by disc sconces and hanging globes. Audio visual on hand for presentations, so it takes a board session as readily as an anniversary dinner.
Jaipur House
Up to 10 guests
One round table beneath a cluster of amber glass pendants, set against a carved golden screen. Made for an engagement, an anniversary, or a deal worth marking.
Terrace Bar
Up to 60 guests
Open air above Glen Waverley. Cocktails, small plates, and the evening coming in — team drinks, stand-up functions and warm-weather celebrations.
Where TimeSlows. AndSenses Wake.
Dining after dark is a ritual — a balance of mood, flavour and light. The tandoor throws its heat, the room settles, and the evening finds its own pace.
Helmed by Chef Hassan of Lucknow, the kitchen reads regional India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari — and cooks it for a Melbourne room. Podi, chettinad, kadai: regional grammars, not heat for its own sake.
