Vegans and vegetable-lovers, swing by Permit Room – our Bombay-inspired all-day bar-café. Find us arched into the cobbled lane of Trinity Street. Kick back like a Bombayite over breakfast, lunch and dinner (or whenever you fancy).

Damn good vegan dishes

Permit Room Cambridge

Stay for a good time, and a long time. Start with a vegan-friendly cooked breakfast. Linger over moreish chaats and crispy-crunchy savouries. Round off with a hearty Ruby Murray – side dishes too. Or dive into our seriously sippable drinks menu: craveable cocktails, local beers and coffee, Bombay sodas and more.

Open from 9am, every day. Come as you are.

All-Day Deliciousness

Find new plant-based faves

Damn delicious vegan dishes, for all appetites. Hand-baked naan. Saucy chickpeas. Golden samosas. Don’t be shy: these plates are for piling.

Vegan Sausage Naan Roll

A delicious sausage developed with Chef Neil Rankin. Cleverly fermented vegetables and best sausage spices to enhance the umami.

Aloo Tikki Chaat

A roadside hottie. Smashed spiced potato patties, dolled up with sweet yoghurt, fresh green chutney, sweet-sour tamarind and crunchy papdi. Warning: Vendors will whistle.

Jackfruit Berry Pulao

Luscious jackfruit – unexpected – with onion, tomato, jaggery and whole spices, under a heap of saffron pulao rice studded with barberries and sultanas. Could be a group thing.

Secure a table for breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails! If the time you want isn’t available, simply swing by and walk-in (we hold lots of tables for walk-ins, and we’ll get you seated quickly). After the kitchen has closed, come for a late-night drink and snack. If you’re with a big party, it’s best to book in advance (you might be spread across some close-together tables).
