Late night Cafe/Curry place back in the day?

[yeseye]

Not Abduls but in Alex Park/Whalley Range/Moss side in late 70's early '80s. Mrs L thinks it was called Charlies, I disagree as per...
Was always in a state but have a hazy memory of being able to buy a can of beer -hidden from view - after the clubs were shut.

There used to be a food van that parked on Victoria Bridge at a weekend. It was staffed by pretty girls. Can't remember how the food was as I was straight from Pips

Bingo, cheers bud.
Was it known as Charlies at all? To shut Mrs L up (that'll never happen btw)
Do you know what Rd it was?

Wasn't it run by Charlie the Somali?

Plaza Cafe

….chicken or meat.

It was Alsatian in the late 60s.

I remember one on Hathersage Rd I think ,nr the hospital. Full chicken in a dish with madras poured over it. I asked to take it away and he put the curry in a sterilised milk bottle.there was 2 toilets as well. One for lads the other for students. Lino on floors as well. Early 80s

Wasn't that the Florida cafe? They had another branch on Wilmslow Road near the DHSS office, opposite the Sanam. Used to be a place to eat for a dare or to challenge gullible students.

You'd get a plate of boiled rice with a chicken leg plonked on top, and a jug of liquid fire.

If you were daft enough to pour all the 'sauce' over your food, the staff wouldn't let you leave until you finished the plate.

Happened to a mate of mine once. He thought they were joking, but they really weren't.

Whatever sauce was left in the jug went back in the pot. I saw lads putting allsorts into jugs including dog ends and copper change. It was grim.

I only ever ate chicken and chips in there. The one on/near Hathersage Road was much more civilised, but just as hot.
