Let’s be real: Dubai summers and rooftop hangs don’t usually go hand-in-hand. But The Permit Room? They’ve just changed the game.

Enter: The ultimate covered, cooled, and totally cute rooftop. Yep, the city’s quirkiest Indian resto-bar has pulled off a full-on summer glow-up — and the star of the show is its newly revamped rooftop. Covered? Check. Breezy? Check. Comfy sofa seating for your entire gang? Double check. Whether it’s cocktails at sunset, a long shisha catch-up, or a dinner date that turns into drinks past midnight, you can now do it all without melting.

But wait, there’s more.
The indoor space has had its moment too — and it’s giving throwback Indian living room but make it aesthetic. Think bright French windows, colourful couches, spinny chairs (yes, really), dreamy ottomans, and those old-school leaf ceiling fans you forgot you loved.

The vibe? Super chill. Totally Instagrammable. And designed to make you feel right at home — but with way better food and playlists.

Speaking of food… let’s talk about the new menu.
Say hi to Chef’s Canvas — a delicious little adventure through Indian street flavours with a Dubai-style glow-up. Every dish is a moment. Like:
✨ Dahi Bhalla Ice Cream Chaat
✨ Amritsari Keema Kulcha
✨ Lychee Tikka
✨ Samosa Pao Waffle
…plus a whole lot more that’ll have your taste buds doing backflips.

So if you’re on the hunt for a rooftop you can actually enjoy this summer, shisha-friendly hangouts with zero sweat, and a menu that’s as bold as your group chat — The Permit Room is the spot.
