Wakefield restaurant offers unforgettable buffet service – and they are open on Christmas day

Christmas is a time for family and friends, but who wants to add the stress of cooking, cleaning and washing up into what should be a fun-filled day.

The friendly team at Aagrah Wakefield are opening up on Christmas Day from noon till 6pm, with a special buffet with some of the finest flavours from around the world.

For traditionalists there’s all the Christmas classics – turkey, stuffing, mixed vegetables and even Yorkshire puddings to be served up. Alongside traditional desserts there will also be the deliciously tempting gulab jamun.

For those looking for something that little bit different, and the Aagrah chefs love to experiment with spices and flavours, then Kashmiri cooking is king for the day.

Enjoy the rich, aromatic flavours of authentic Kashmiri cuisine, put together with over 40 years of excellence in Kashmiri cooking.

It’s a mix and match delight that allows every guest to eat exactly what they want on Christmas Day. Variety is the spice of life!

Owner Mohammed Jamil said: “We’re committed to making your holiday meal memorable with a wide selection of dishes, served in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”

He added: “Whether you’re a fan of classic Christmas dinner dishes or looking to try the exciting flavours of Kashmir, our buffet has something for everyone. Indulge in the best of both worlds, from traditional Christmas turkey, stuffing, and all the trimmings to Aagrah’s signature Kashmiri specialties.

“Our buffet lets you explore an array of dishes, with plenty of choices to suit all tastes and dietary preferences, so each guest can find something they love.”
