This is the page for 60 Cowley Road.
2017
Cafe Tarifa is a bar & restaurant occupying 56-60 Cowley Road. It is part of a chain including Cafe CoCo at 23 Cowley Road and Kazbar at 25-27 Cowley Road.
2009?-2011?
The Cafe CoCo empire originally opened this the Organic Burger Company on this site. The business failed due to the recession, a sign spotted in the window after closure said something along the lines that the economic times weren't suitable for this type of business. The same proprietors reinvented it as Cafe Tarifa, which has been a roaring success.
1970s - about 2009
Before Cafe Tarifa moved in, 56-60 was occupied by the old-fashioned 'Moonlight Tandoori' restaurant. The front door was on the corner of the building (now a window), where the original doorstep is still visible. In Marilyn Yurdan's The Changing Faces of the Cowley Road there is a photo of the Moonlight's owner, Wasid Ali, dated February 1988.
