We're spoilt for choice when it comes to Indian restaurants.

But sometimes too much choice presents a dilemma.

Thankfully the people of Huddersfield have been busy reviewing the town's many curry houses.

They've been rating everything from the poppadoms at the start to the grilled meat appetisers and the main courses plus the chipatis, naans and rice.

From snazzy sit-down restaurants to humble but nonetheless excellent takeaways there's plenty for those who like it hot and spicy — or people who prefer their dishes mild and subtle.

Here's the top eight Indian restaurants in Huddersfield according to Tripadvisor plus a few other favourites.

Of course, there will be many great curry houses that haven't made the list. If we've missed a restaurant or takeaway – and it's really good – let us know.
