Our Story

Indian Born,
California Raised

Curry Up Now was founded in 2009 by husband and wife Akash and Rana Kapoor as a single food truck on the corner of Howard and Primrose in Burlingame, California. Tikka masala in a burrito. Samosas deconstructed on a plate. Naan turned into pizza.

Today we have locations across California, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama. Coming soon to Smyrna, TN and Seattle, WA.

Our La Jolla location is at UC San Diego, bringing Curry Up Now into one of Southern California’s most active campus communities. Surrounded by students, faculty, and steady daily foot traffic, it’s a natural fit for quick meals in a fast-moving environment.

Variety of Indian dishes in aluminum trays including yellow rice, dal, curry, naan bread, a container of chutney, and dessert balls with garnishes on a wooden table.

What La Jolla Says

Real Reviews

★★★★★

"This is one of my favorite places to eat on the campus. The burritos are the real star. The chicken tikka masala is the real star. I've tried the Makhini one as well, but it wasn't as good. I wish they lamb as a choice here as well."

Robert Heath

★★★★★

"The cashiers here are very funny and friendly, especially Noah and Tim. The food is nice and very filling, can last you up to a whole day if you have their burritos for breakfast. Would recommend to anyone their pizzas and the fried stuffs. Great service and food overall."

Vy Tran

★★★★★

"If you have never tried Indian food and want something different and delicious 😋 you should try a samosa chat..the perfect combination of flavors, sweet, spicy, creamy and crunchy …"
