I ordered my burritos online for pickup at 12:15. Got there at 12:23. Double parked, since I expected to just step in, pick it up, and step out.
The order was not ready. He said it would be 2 minutes. Eventually, it became clear that they started my order only after I got there. I got my food only at 12:33. He didn’t even apologize. I do not appreciate being made to wait 10 minutes while double-parked. But more than that I, do not appreciate the dishonesty.
Let me add that they were not busy at all. Not one person was there eating, or waiting for a pick-up. Not one order was ready to be picked up by someone who hadn't arrived yet. They had just ignored my order till I got there.
Plus, our Goan burrito had no saag paneer at all. None whatsoever.
However, the burritos *were* tasty. Filled poorly, though. If you share two burritos like we did, one person may get all the meat and the other one nothing but rice.
Parking is not easy at all at this location.
Given how little business they are doing on a weekday at lunchtime in a business district (gee, I wonder why?), I don’t imagine this location will survive very long.

Ordered a Thali called Death by Tikki Masala, with the chili naan. An impressive plate of food for a reasonable price, $21 for a large serving(could probably have fed two people, or one person living on conference snacks for a day). I added a beer which brought my total up but it was worth it. I thought the food was really good, with great spice, solid flavors and temperature. Super nice staff. Surprised it was relatively empty at 5:30 on a Thursday but don’t let that keep you from trying it out!

This is like Americanized fast food Indian food. Like Panda Express is to Chinese food. All the dishes lacked flavor and were over-sweetened. Definitely wouldn’t eat here again.

I ordered a vegan roll from Curry Up Now through their app, but instead I was sent a paneer roll. I’m lactose intolerant, so this was not only frustrating but completely inedible for me.
When I called, thinking they’d fix the mistake, the response was beyond ridiculous. No apology. No refund. Nothing. Instead, I was told I “should’ve ordered through DoorDash.” Seriously? That’s their solution? Blame the customer for using their own app?
This isn’t just bad service — it’s careless and disrespectful. If you can’t fulfill an order, you either contact the customer for a substitution or cancel it. What you don’t do is randomly send whatever you want and then shrug it off.
The lack of accountability here is astonishing. Dietary needs aren’t optional or a joke, and treating paying customers this way is flat-out unacceptable. Curry Up Now lost my trust completely — I’d advise others to think twice before ordering.

They used to have a nice 1+1 offer on pav bhujis on Uber eats until two months back but have since removed it
Bopping in to town to see Harry Mack at Fox Theater, we parked around the corner and wanted something to eat. I saw the phrase Indian Street Food on the window, mentioned it to Brian and it was immediately decided. I am stoked, because the food was delicious!! The tikka masala was great, mango chutney to die for, salsa with my rice (sooooo good, you have no idea!!), and if I wasn't on a diet I'd have the El Jefe burrito, which is a burrito made with naan!!! Check this place out if you're anywhere near one! I believe they have multiple locations.
Underrated place!
The food is great and the staff is very nice

Superb Indian street food in creative combinations.
The food is delicious. It’s amazing. Customer Service is great 10 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it. I was recommended by a coworker which I was a little bit reluctant into but after the first tiki masala burrito I’m coming back almost every week. It’s really good.
This place doesn’t have class for being a restaurant and they don’t pay there employees and there’s no security at night when they closing up

I like Curry Up Now
A cockroach was in the food. Do not order from here.
This place has such a delicious, unique menu. My teens love the butter chicken burger and their fries and special sauce are delicious. I love the variety of healthy vegan, gluten free bowls (ok, and the fries). ;-)
Food is edible. Nothing authentic. Serving was fair. It's a commercial for-profit food restaurant, same as any fast food chain. Can't be called fresh with ingredients that are probably cooked in bulk.
It’s clean and kept well, ticket times are solid & food bursts with flavor. Cashiers are polite and swift, with tasteful music playing. Mango lassi pricy for size.
