Leeds food and drink: Memories of Sheepscar's Corner Cafe
It was the Indian restaurant that became a firm favourite with businessmen, solicitors and television personalities.
They were all lured by the offering of a three course dinner for just £3.
Corner Cafe off Scott Hall Road in Sheepscar featured in the Penguin Good Food Guide back in the mid-1980s with critics describing its cuisine as "excellent and cheap."
The owner was Musamal Ghauri who was the first to admit his eaterie was somewhat of an eyesore.
He said: "I suppose it could be described as an eyesore but inside it is warm, comfortable and clean and we pay special attention to our food and menu."
Mr Ghauri took over the premises, a run-down transport cafe, in 1978 and continued to serve the traditional British breakfast and lorry drivers' fare for a time, gradually changing the cuisine to Indian.
The cafe had no liquor licence but glasses were provided without charge and guests were invited to bring their own wine.
