The restaurant itself is huge and given the impeccable style of the design that continues into The Permit Room, it would have been nice to see a bit more space dedicated to it and the classic cocktails it serves. This lack of seating doesn’t help it seem like more than a glorified waiting room and the idea of coming here just for drinks is a little far fetched. The space is reasonably sized but aside from a few high perimeter tables and some stools at the bar, it is standing only. The Permit Room is a mixture of Bombay chic, colonial era tradition and old-fashioned service. Not so isolated that you can’t feel the buzzing atmosphere of the popular restaurant next door but enough of its own thing to feel – just about - like a separate bar.

Liquor can only be purchased and imbibed for the goodness of one’s health in separate area’s known as ‘Permit Rooms’. Just in case you didn’t know, since 1949 up to the present day, Bombay has been in a state of prohibition.
