About Curry Up Now
Curry Up Now is a dynamic Indian fast-casual restaurant chain that began as a food truck in 2009 in Burlingame, California. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Akash and Rana Kapoor, the brand has rapidly expanded. It now operates 20 brick-and-mortar locations, three food trucks, and several digital kitchen outposts across the United States.
The restaurant offers a modern twist on traditional Indian street food. It blends authentic flavors with contemporary culinary techniques.
Signature dishes include the Tikka Masala Burrito, featuring chicken or paneer tikka masala wrapped with turmeric rice and chana masala in a tortilla. Another popular item is the Naughty Naan, a naan stuffed with various fillings.
In May 2023, Curry Up Now unveiled an exciting new menu led by Corporate Executive Chef Bikram Das. The revamped offerings explore regional biryanis, Indian-Chinese favorites, and a classic Delhi-style Chole Bhature.
The brand also introduced a shift from counter service to casual tableside service at its Bay Area locations, enhancing the dining experience.
Beyond its culinary offerings, Curry Up Now provides catering services for events of all sizes, including weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Options include delivery, pickup, or on-site food truck catering.
