Bombay’s Permit Room Legacy Gets a Stylish Revival at Permit & Co.

Permit & Co. by Aditya and Adesh Vijay Hegde reimagines Bombay’s classic permit rooms, blending nostalgia with modern vibrancy to celebrate the city’s rich drinking culture.

The space transports guests from colonial-era Bombay to Prohibition days, reviving iconic drinking traditions while embracing Mumbai’s contemporary pulse through design, drinks, and food.

Curated by Chef Sandeep Moktan, the menu features classics like Kabuli Channa, Schezwan Chakli, and Agri Dum Alu, celebrating Bombay’s street flavors with a gourmet touch.

Mixologist Karl Fernandes revives Bombay’s flavors with drinks like Permit & Co.la, inspired by Campa Cola, and IL.I.(I)C, a coffee-infused LIT.

From Batliwaala’s gin and raspberry soda to PvR’s caramel popcorn-infused magic, every cocktail at Permit & Co. tells a flavorful, nostalgic story.

Interiors fuse the 1960s-80s permit room nostalgia with modern aesthetics, featuring warm woodwork, mood lighting, and an inviting, relaxed yet immersive atmosphere.
