Smithy was spot on when he said about not sharing his bhunas. Gavin and Stacey fans can't get enough of the takeaway restaurant famous for where Smithy (James Corden) requests a very specific curry order.

On the much-loved BBC comedy show, the Essex lad reels off an extensive food order from the Meghna Balti Express and now, the Welsh curry house has replicated the exact dishes on his long list.

You can get your chops round a chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan and nine poppadoms and saag aloo for £36 from the Meghna Balti Express on Four Elms Road in Cardiff.

Back in the third series in episode two, Smithy rants: "I can guarantee someone, probably Stacey, will have ordered a korma, am I wrong - Mick, am I wrong?

“And in my book a korma is pointless... It's futile. I won't touch it.

"But I can guarantee Pete's eyeing up my bhunas. Am I wrong?

“Pete, have you thought about my bhunas?”

He continued: "They're my bhunas. If you want a bhuna, order a bhuna, that's why I've ordered two bhunas."

Smithy then goes out to the car to solo eat his curry in peace.

Available on JustEat, the five-star rated restaurant has more than 600 reviews and features on the Gavin and Stacey Facebook group.
