Permit Rooms

I’m often asked where to go for great Indian food in Brighton, and while the city boasts plenty of fantastic options, one of my top recommendations is always @dishoompermitroom . Since opening in October 2023, it’s quickly made a name for itself — and for good reason

The food is outstanding, especially their Indian-inspired breakfasts, and the drinks are just as impressive (special mention to the Clover Club — a personal favourite). The atmosphere is always buzzing, thanks to regular collaborations and events throughout the year, including their unforgettable team-up with @haliscobrighton , which was a definite highlight

Not many places can truly master every part of the day, but Permit Rooms have nailed it — from their iconic breakfast naans and authentic Hot Chai to hearty evening staples like the Ruby Curry and Black Daal. The menu is generous and caters to a range of tastes. If you’re after a recommendation, start with the Pop-Up Chicken Bites and the Crispy Spinach Chaat — both are consistently excellent. Honestly, I’ve yet to try a dish I didn’t love

If you haven’t been yet, it’s an absolute must. Permit Rooms brings something genuinely fresh and exciting to Brighton’s food scene and has been nothing short of a triumph since its launch
