Top London Restaurant Dishoom Is Opening a (Tiny) Hotel
Bacon naan rolls may be delivered to your room.
Welcome to Dishoom Permit Room Portobello. The group’s first rooms to rent will be two floors up.
Photographer: Taran Wilkhu/DishoomLast Friday night on London’s Portobello Road, one corner pub was particularly buzzy, even for bustling Notting Hill. But if you tried to walk in, you were politely turned away with some free drink tickets. The Dishoom Permit Room Portobello is in soft opening and doesn’t officially welcome in the public until Friday, May 9.
This is the fourth Permit Room in the UK but the first London outpost of the group’s India-inspired drinking establishment. (It also operates 10 cafes.) And there’s another element to this location that will attract the Dishoom faithful: It will be the brand’s first property to offer lodgings.
