This hilarious video shows Indian restaurant staff performing a curry-inspired version of a Grease classic titled - 'you're the naan that I want'.

Staff at the Urban Tandoor curry house in Bristol dressed up as characters from the 1978 hit film and added their own unique twist to a well-known soundtrack.

In the video, the four restaurant workers can be seen strutting their stuff while wearing wigs and posing with poppadums and naan bread.

They completely transform John Travolta's and Olivia Newton-John's smash hit 'You're The One That I Want' in a bid to get more customers through their door.

Some of their lyrics include: "You better eat up, because I need a naan...And a bowl of saag aloo.

And their chorus 'you've got the naan that I want' certainly gives the original a run for its money.

The video was posted on social media under the heading 'Urban Tandoor presents the naan that I want.'

Staff wrote alongside it: "If John Travolta sees this we’re going to Bollywood……" and it has now been liked more than 350k times.

Restaurant owner Sujith Dalmeida, 42, said: "We started posting funny videos on Tik Tok during covid because everything was really doom and gloom.

"We only had 20 followers at the start and now we have over a hundred thousand.

"We started to do parodies about six months ago and they've been doing really well.We get people from all over the world coming here to visit.

"This Grease remake has done well, but Naan Bread Number Five a few months ago is a personal favourite of mine.

"60 seconds of happiness can mean so much to some people. We get loads of messages from people saying how much they love it.

"It keeps us motivated and is great for business!"

Other lyrics featured on the song include - "I've got dips, they're multiplying. And I'm losing control. Cause the pilau, you're supplying, it's electrifying.

"You better eat up, and I need a naan. And a bowl of sag aloo.

You better eat up. You better understand. Urban Tandoor is so good. They're the best. They're the best place you can go.

"The naan that I want. You got the naan that I want. Do, do, do, honey.

"You got the naan that I want. Do, do, do.

"The one that I need. Peshwari."

Their quirky remake has attracted thousands of comments praising the staff's video.

One comment read: "Love this! I wish I lived nearer so I could pop in for dinner."

Another said: "This made my day!"

A third added: "Good on them for giving it a go!"
