Curry Up Now is a dynamic fast-casual brand that brings a creative take on Indian street food. Launched in 2009 as a single food truck in Burlingame, California, it was founded by Akash and Rana Kapoor.
The concept quickly gained traction, leading to the opening of the first brick-and-mortar restaurant in San Mateo in 2011, followed by expansions into cities like Palo Alto, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and Alameda.
Headquartered in California, Curry Up Now has since broadened its reach by offering franchise opportunities across the United States. Today, the brand operates a growing number of locations, including in Hoboken, New Jersey; Sacramento, California; Decatur, Georgia; Fort Union, Utah; and Irvine, California.
Known for its creative menu, Curry Up Now serves up inventive interpretations of Indian street food classics. Favorites such as tikka masala burritos and naughty naan showcase the brand’s ability to fuse authentic Indian flavors with a contemporary fast-casual dining experience.
