Food was mediocre at the best. Order experice was bad. Pretty disappointed, tried to order a combo, saw it online but in store they said j cannot order it . As soon I placed it right after paying wanted to change the order they said they cannot cancel the order as they needed a code from a manager and he won't be there till next day. Don't understand this terrible order management
Recommend going to another Indian place-not this

I was hungry and so I got a thali today. Naan was tender, fresh. Came with Dal and Saag which were tasty; vegan chicken (soy) was not great. To make it healthier they could add a salad or optionally swap it for the mini samosa. At little past lunchtime it was empty and didn’t have a great vibe.

Super fast for lunch (2-3 mins after order) and quite delicious butter paneer plate!
Also all meat is halal except for the chicken in the kids menu.

I had a chicken tikka masala burrito and it was one of the best burritos I ever had. The manager Anmol was super friendly and he was very hands on with helping staff in the kitchen during the lunch rush. Overall the restaurant was very welcoming with a good vibe I would 100% come back again

Honestly, I would not recommend going by the online reviews. My experience today was quite disappointing. The food seemed pre-prepared and simply reheated before serving. The portion sizes did not justify the prices, and overall, the dining experience was below average.
I ordered the Kathi Roll, which appeared to be filled with a mix of three different curries that were not even properly warmed. The Thali included Kadai Paneer and Paneer Butter Masala, both of which were average in taste. The dal and rice were also below average, served with a mini samosa, some fryums, and a small naan cut into four pieces. As for the Chole Bhature, I would rather not waste time describing it.
To be honest, the food is not worth trying.

There is a great difference between loving being a Chef and loving owning a business Vs running a business just for the survival.
I ordered a vegetarian thali and guess what, the paneer tikka, saag paneer, the naan etc; all were not prepared and cooked in the restaurant. All the items were served from ready-to-eat food packets which are loaded with preservatives.
Initially, I had a doubt. But as I eat more, I was sure. Being native Indian, I know the difference between freshly prepared food and preserved food.
Kindly don’t do that, please.
Love your business. Love what you do to serve a better food.
Thanks

Loved my experience at Curry Up Now. The service was super fast, and Ellie, our server, was so sweet and welcoming. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food and quick service!

Ordered the chicken biryani and it barely had any chicken. I got 1-2 small chunk of chicken and the rest was rice

Ordered papdi chaat, chole bhature, and beverage.
The service was good but the food, nope.
It was sooo damn spicy. Even with the curd, could barely eat (mind you, we are desi). The whole experience became bad because the whole time we were just combating the spice in both the items.
Also, bhature was not crispy.

Really good food. I ordered a vada pav it was almost authentic. No fried chilli wit it but if you ask they put in a slice of Jalapeño.

Subject: Feedback on Recent Visit to Palo Alto Location
Dear Customer Service,
I recently visited your Palo Alto branch and ordered the lamb thali. While the food itself tasted fine, I wanted to share some concerns about the experience:
Portion Size: I chose to dine in but requested that the food be packed to go, as I wasn’t sure I would finish it. However, the portion I received was noticeably smaller (by more than 50%) than what others dining in were served, yet I was charged the same amount.
Possible Incorrect Dish: What I first received was shredded meat that I assumed was lamb. Later, when I was asked what I would like extra of (since naan was missing), I requested lamb and was given large pieces that were completely different from what was in my thali. This made me concerned that my thali may not have been lamb at all, but possibly pork.
While I appreciated the taste, the overall experience felt disorganized and lacking in integrity. I wanted to bring this to your attention so that future guests do not encounter similar issues.

Used to be great, but the last time I ordered the Punjabi by nature bowl the portion size was barely adequate and there was hardly any saag paneer, in fact there was only two pieces of cheese! I'm going to have to find somewhere else to eat which has better value.
Edit: I've started ordering from Darbar a few blocks away- you get more food for the same price with better customer service
The food was amazing and it’s not expensive either!
