Curry Up Now is a California-based restaurant group headquartered in South San Francisco, founded in 2009 by Akash Kapoor and his wife Rana, and it began as a Burlingame food truck before opening its first brick-and-mortar in San Mateo in 2011. The concept reimagines traditional Indian flavors in approachable formats, incorporating items such as tikka masala burritos and deconstructed samosas, and it includes a Mortar & Pestle Bar as part of its broader family of offerings. Positioned in the fast-casual segment, the brand serves diners seeking Indian-inspired fare in a casual setting and has expanded beyond the Bay Area to multiple markets, including Texas and North Carolina. It has earned industry recognition, with listings in Zagat, EATER SF, and 7x7, and it was included on the 2023 Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list. A notable recent development is the 2025 opening of a Curry Up Now location in Flower Mound, Texas.
