Britain has a long, long love affair with curry.

Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, curry grew increasingly popular in Britain owing to its association with the British Raj. And it's remained to this day.

Now we're in the new year and perhaps a little bit sick of roasts (or not, that's your preference) you might be looking for a change-up in cuisine.

And we could think of nothing better than a good old-fashioned curry.

Whether you want the UK's staple dish, the chicken tikka masala, or want to try your hand (and risk death) at a phaal, then the following restaurants cater for all needs.

Here are the top 5 curry restaurants in Wiltshire as per Tripadvisor:
