The British love of Indian and South Asian food is legendary and in recent years there’s been a growth in restaurants across Huddersfield offering curries for Christmas Day lunch.

If you fancy swapping your turkey for tikka masala, Brussels sprouts for bhajis and ditching stuffing for samosas, there's some tasty Christmas specials to choose from.
