Brighton Pride weekend may be over, but I still can’t stop thinking about the incredible Pride breakfast we had at @dishoompermitroom Those dishes were such a highlight of the weekend and the best part is, they’re available every day (just without the drag queens!)

If you haven’t had breakfast at Permit Rooms yet (a part of @dishoom ) you’re missing out. The Wrestler Naan is a standout: smoked streaky bacon, peppery pork sausages, and a perfectly runny egg wrapped in pillowy naan. It’s bold, unique, and utterly delicious, I can never get enough. They’ve also extended their breakfast menu recently, and I couldn’t resist the French Toast. Think cinnamon spiced brioche with soft, pillowy cheese, topped with hot chilli honey for a little kick, fresh berries for brightness, and crisp, smoky Ramsay of Carluke streaky bacon for the perfect savoury contrast. It’s a dish that feels indulgent yet perfectly balanced and one I’m so glad they’ve added. Of course, the Bun Maska Chai remains a must. It’s such a simple concept, a soft, buttered bun meant to be dunked in hot chai, but it’s pure comfort. Add the Masala Beans on the side and you’ve got a breakfast that’s both hearty and satisfying!

Beyond the food, the vibes at Permit Rooms are always electric. The service is fabulous, and I love how deeply the experience is rooted in their Indian inspired theme. The Pride Brunch was a fantastic celebration with drag performances, special cocktails, and infectious energy but honestly, every visit feels like an occasion. A lot of love for this place, and somehow each visit leaves me enjoying it more than the last.

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
