Late night Cafe/Curry place back in the day?

[Tuearts right boot]

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.

It was Charlies. Every chair was different, ever water jug was different, some were just milk bottles and the lino was a health and safety hazard. The rice was cold and already on the table and there were probably 5 different curries, Suicide was the hottest. For the faint hearted they did a ' mixed grill' .....with cabbage

Mild, Medium, Hot, Suicide, Killer, Charlie's Special, Crematorium, as I remember the escalating heat.

Rays Bangla in Denton mid 80s. Get in after the wine bar shut at 2 am. Best onion bahjis and massive crinkle chips. Chicken madras . Pinch the menus , run into the kitchen then try to take carpet out the door. Happy days

Plaza café, Manchester

If only it still existed. A legend in the 1970s, this small Somali café, run by Charlie Ali, was open until 4 am, serving a range of simple curries at modest prices. At the height of its popularity…

Megna Cottage curry house in Bury. Got nicknamed ganja cottage in it's later years but me and a few of us would end up there if we'd been out in Bury.

Slightly off topic so apologies. My band are performing tonight in Mauldeth Road West M21, soudcheck at 4pm on at 9pm. I really fancy a cafe style curry house, not a place with starched napkins but the sort where all the plates have come from a charity shop. Any recommendations ? Don't mind travelling a bit in a cab.
