Yes in the early days the KV was good, I liked the early more rustic Indian takeaways, Chakwals near the Uni and Bobby's Swwet Centre at Chapletown but the Khagan was always handy after a session in the Rack

Cardiarms wrote: Yup, my mate let a stink bomb off in there. I might be misremembering but was it also called 'Some like it hot' for a while? Yes, you're right. I'd forgotten about that until you mentioned it - was it a burger/steak restaurant?
To resurrect and old thread, my mam insists 'Some like it hot' was on North lane (followed by Ron's Bistro, Ferret Hall and now Sabah Thai), not where Kaghan was (now Tariq's). Did it go straight from Preacher's Diner to the Kaghan?
