The Oriental was an Indian restaurant - the OP specified Chinese.

 

The oriental was chinese not indian ...my parents owned the pub up the road most of our customers went in there on a w/end after the pub closed my dad usually went with them...he wouldnt touch indian food .....

Well, I'm sure that kazads53 is correct (despite what was written by several people on the thread I linked to in my post #2) but the Kelly's directory for 1973, which I happen to have, does not classify restaurants according to the type of food served, and simply shows the "Oriental Café" with all the other restaurants - see here..:)

Rickshaw and Zing Vaa, definitely between 57 and 60. I started work in 57 as a junior sales and all the sales girls used to go there on dates. First time I ever went I felt soooooo grown up. Left Sheffield in 60 so I know I had been several times to both in that time.
