Dishoom Permit Room Cambridge in Cambridge

Delicious! Vegetarian options: Delicious Food : 5/5 |

Highly recommend the chicken ruby and naan! Lovely atmosphere and very cosy.

Quick and attentive service, Annika and the chef were very accommodating for my substitution request. Vegetarian options: Chef willing to substitute sausage for vegan sausage in non vegetarian options.

Great food. Nice staff. Wasn t the biggest fan of having to sit on a stool for the meal, quite uncomfortable.

Delicious worth a visit

A lovey meal with delightful service

Such lovely food and amazing staff. Made a birthday celebration feel extra special.

Rosie was brilliant!

Amazing venue, really attentive service and great food

Rosie was a fantastic waitress. The food was great as always, but Rosie was the perfect combination of welcoming, friendliness and discretion.

House chai its amazing! Brunch perfect!!!! Lunch perfect!! Vibes perfectttt

Lovely scrambled eggs and great service :)

Amazing atmosphere! Even better food. Love the bottomless chai

Our waiter, Tom, was superb. He was helpful about the menu and found out what we liked before making suggestions. He was chatty and friendly. He was engaging and attentive too. Vegetarian options: The broccoli salad was tangy and fresh with a chilli kick. Delicious.

Christmas special menu was great deal!

My friend recommended this restaurant for me awhile and I tried it today to celebrate my friend s birthday. The food was so delicious and the service was really great, too! We ordered a lamb curry which was so yummy and spicy and we ate with the nann bread .The crispy spanish chatt which had yourgut sauce was amazing and the lamb Samosa were very delicious. And the waitress who called Enjila gave a birthday dessert treat for my friend that surprising us. Thank you so much she make her day.

The atmosphere was great, just enough liveliness but also felt quite intimate for a group of friends. Food was delicious, nice variety and good portions. This is the second time I ve been and had the same server each time, her name is Anaka (not sure of the spelling) but she is amazing! Friendly, efficient, nothing too much trouble for her and she had great recommendations on combinations of dishes and how much to order! Thank you!! Vegetarian options: The paneer curry and makhani black Dahl were fantastic.

Amazing food

Divya was great!

Dietary restrictions: Great variety Food

I havent been to the original Dishoom restaurants but the Permit room is excellent with a great atmosphere. It is amazing what they have done in such a small space. Prices can be at the upper end of expensive, especially when you consider a whole Tandoori chicken on its own is £26. However, the tandoori chicken is to die for. Best tandoori chicken I have had period. Naans were really tasty too. The food could be a little spicier and would have liked to see the chefs adjusting the spice level to customers preference. I was given chillies on the side of the Lamb Curry, but its not the same as having spicy curry to begin with. They were generous with the lamb pieces, which I appreciated and upon request, gave us some wedges of lime to juice over the dish. The berry chicken biryani was good, generous with the chicken pieces, but again, it was on the lighter side and could do with a little bit more masala on the chicken. I wished there were a few more menu items for a little bit more variety, something as simple as plain fries or fries with a dusting of masala. Staff were very friendly and helpful and had tried to accommodate us best when we arrived with a baby and a pram. Albeit we had to sit on a smaller table but we preferred where we had sat since we got a good view of the entire restaurant. We spent around £30 per person without any beverages or desserts, so it is a little more on the expensive side. Overall, food was high quality and would definitely recommend you try at least once.

Western breakfast in a naan. It was nice but nothing special. Masala beans were ok, but not exciting. All food was very sweet, chai had too much ginger. Chocolate chai was just hot chocolate with no discernable spice. Dinner menu was much more interesting.

Great food Vegetarian options: Excellent selection Food : 5/5 |

The food is extremely good; however I have to mention it was £20 for a curry and rice (!!!) Although I love Dishoom, this is excessive. There s plenty other Indian restaurants that are the same quality/better and cheaper. Food

Nice food and friendly staff. The music sounded exotic.

Impeccable service, and top draw food. A must :-) Wheelchair accessibility: There is access for wheel chairs. I am sure the wonderful staff will help if needed.

Great experience - lovely atmosphere, great food and friend staff.

Had a fantastic meal at the Permit room. Loved the tandoori chicken and the spinach chat... Cant wait to return

Excellent Indian food with just the right level of spice!

Lovely food with great service

It s a shame to have to leave this review be because the food is lovely. However, I asked for a raspberry soda and was told they had run out, that s fine. I was recommended a pink pineapple soda instead, also fine. This came in a small 150/200ml bottle which I poured into the glass myself. After I had paid, I subsequently noticed we had been charged 8.50 for this drink, which is absolutely ridiculous. I had not ordered, nor been given, the full cocktail version of this drink. It left such a bitter taste in my mouth and totally ruined my experience of the evening.

Slow service

Anagha was our server; so friendly, helpful and a joy to be around. The food was incredible; especially the Spinach Chaat. We come to dishoom loads, and this was one of my favourite visits. Travelling from London, and will be back next month for more! Fab job to everyone at dishoom Cambridge!

Enjoyed it here, great vibes and great food.

Food was amazing as always.

A very good place in the center of Cambridge. Delicious Indian food, cozy environment and nice decoration. The staff is attentive and kind. Definitely a good choice and one of the last discovery in the city. Vegetarian options: Sí

I didn t think there was anything special about this pace. Food was ok, staff were nice.

Thank you Anika for the excellent service!

Really enjoyed the service!! And the staff are very helpful. There was a little confusion at first but they really made it up to it with their service. Also they realized we didnt like one of the dishes... We didnt tell them as its not their fault. But, they surprised us with a complementary ice cream and also deducted the amount for the dish we didnt like. Really really good place and good people Keep up the good work!!

Out waiter was really friendly and provided us with great advice on the food

Went for our anniversary. We were greeted by the hostess at the entrance and she gave us a card and couple of drinks coupons as a gift. Food was amazing, and the festive cocktail selection is really amazing. We tried the Clover Club the signature cocktail of Dishoom and Desi mulled wine. Service was amazing, Enjila was our server, she went above and beyond her duties to make our evening special. Highly recommended.

My birthday dinner at Dishoom Permit Room was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed the delicious Chicken Pick Me Ups, savory Vegetable Samosas, tender Tandoori Chicken, and the rich and flavorful Chicken Ruby. Every dish was a culinary delight. Our host, Autumn, was incredibly attentive and made our birthday celebration extra special. We cant wait to return to Dishoom and enjoy another fabulous meal.

Not as good as Dishoom in London, but still very good.

Kid-friendliness: Good Food

Spectacular food, beer and cocktails in a cosy, clean and welcoming environment

Great food and drinks. Service is quick and very friendly. Perfect for a casual date or a quick bite with friends and family.

A more casual and easier to get into version of Dishoom was a great find. Excellent cocktails and food, with very helpful recommendations from Sara our waiter. Service was significantly better than London too!

Ok, I wouldnt call it authentic, but it was very nice...I enjoyed black Dal curry, my husband ordered mutton curry and I still like the flavour of my choice more..the service is good, the place is always crowded

Krishna and Shubham provided great service and the food delicious as always

We were served by Enjila. She was amazing. Fabulous service and energy and she helped us out when we needed. Will definitely be coming back! Vegetarian options: Good Parking: Good

Good food and good value. The service was a bit slow, but the food was great.

Food was divine! The curries and range of starters were superb. The service was ok, had room for improvement with timings, and cutery. The table was too small for the 4 ppl with side plates side dishes, drinks, water, cutlery pot etc etc.

Not the best Dishoom which is at Kings Cross

Wonderful service. Outstanding and delicious
