Walk into Permit Room and you're transported straight to a 1920s Bombay speakeasy—all dark wood, vintage signage and that particular kind of moody lighting that makes everything feel slightly illicit. The cocktail list is genuinely clever without being show-offy, and the food (their signature Dishoom dishes alongside some Permit Room exclusives) actually justifies the buzz around this place. It's on Portobello Road, so there's that whole antiques-market energy nearby, but inside feels properly separated from the chaos—intimate without being stuffy.
