Does anyone know the name of the Chinese Restaurant that was in Fitzalan Square in the 50s and 60s. Remember you went down some stairs.

I remember the Indian one Indus, the only Chinese I knew in in that area was the Gambit on Commercial Street (late 60's early 70's).

I think you may be thinking about the Gambit, but that was around the corner at the top of Commercial Street on the left hand side.

 

Any one else have any ideas ?

It was originally THE QUEENS restaurant owned and run by the Greek/Cypriot family the Gabrielidis, they used the name Gabriel, George, the son owned and ran the Montgomery Hotel. The Father and Mother returned to Cyprus in the late sixties or late seventies, my wife and myself rented a flat from them on Stafford Rd, they were very nice people. The Queens then opened as The Indus Indian Restaurant, it was never a Chinese's.

There was a chinese restaurant in the Square in the sixty's it was next to the Classic Cinema and down some stairs , many people would do a runner from the place and I often saw a couple of Chinese waiters chasing them down to Pond Street.

That was the Queens restaurant. I'm sure there was never a Chinese there, there was the Gambit on Commercial St, that was a type of Chinese before it re-located to Psalter Lane.

Sorry to disagree but it was a Chinese the only one in Sheffield at that time !except that is for the one on Division Street that was used as a night club by certain clientele in the early sixties.

Wasn`t the one by the Classic the original zing va?
