Hard to be sure but it could be a greenfly infestation - have a close look for them on the stems - certainly looks as if there's something there. If its that you can spray with soapy water or an insecticide, but you might need a systemic one (without nicotine)to get at any inside the curled leaves so do it in the evening when there are no other insects about.

could also be down to thrips sap suckers that lead to this distortion.
