I went in there on my 21st and got food poisoning (had nothing to do with alcohol honest ). My mate went in there one night and nearly caused a riot by claiming that the chicken bone in his tandoori was actually a cat bone. He did this very loudly and pointed out at the top of his voice that he was a zoology student and that he knew a f*****g cat bone when he saw one. Priceless
Had a bout of food poisoning there myself once – IIRC it got closed down by the local H&S folk on ‘hygiene’ issues.

Never the same when they closed the China Buffet! Their 'bag' of chips was in fact a sack!
Just up from the Islamabad was the sadly-missed Theo's Charcoal Grill, a purveyor of the finest 'real' kebabs you could hope to taste. Think it's an Ainsley's now.

Also up that road was that off license that used to sell beer in pint pots to get around the licensing laws. You had to stand on the street and drink it (sold for consumption off the premises), but it was as close to the continental "al fresco" lifestyle as we got in Leeds in the 1980's It was the only place to get a pint between 3pm and 5.30pm.

Was 'It's Paper' there on that row? Art supply and card shop? I remember the wonderful smell of that shop but not quite where it was...
