Our cafés and delivery kitchens will be closed on Tuesday 30th July for our annual Family Mela. Apologies for any inconvenience caused, we look forward to welcoming you again on Wednesday 31st July.
Nestled into Brighton’s bustling lanes, an all-day bar-café, a tribute to the way that Bombay cuts loose.
A neighbourhood crowd drops by. There’s an abundance of drinking food: Snacks, Chaats, Salads, Curries (and Dishoom faves). Local beers and DJs too. Finish up with an ice cream sandwich – a special Bombay-Brighton treat.
Wash it all down with our late-night cocktails – they pack a punch (voted ‘Best Cocktails’ at the BRAVO Awards). And for the morning after a night of revelry, a fresh Breakfast Naan will be waiting for you.

Permit Room Brighton is mostly for walk-ins – but we do hold some tables for reservations. If you’re with a big party, it’s best to book in advance (you might be spread across some close-together tables). After the kitchen has closed, come for a late-night drink and snack (walk-in or book).
Our Aunty Bar roof terrace is bookable during the warmer months (when it's not raining) – just leave us a note when making your booking and we'll do our best to save you a spot.
Any questions – chat with our team.
