Great food and wonderful staff, a great place for a quick meal only a block off University Ave

I've been coming to Curry Up Now for quite some time, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The food is consistently amazing, the prices are fair, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Whether I'm dining in or grabbing my meal to go, the experience is always top-notch. On my most recent visit, I was especially impressed by the outstanding service from the manager, Biv. From the moment I walked in, she was incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely cared that every guest had a great experience. As I waited for my order, I noticed she greeted everyone who came through the door with a warm smile and made sure each customer felt welcomed and excited to try the food. That level of attention to detail really stood out to me. As a bank manager, I understand how much exceptional customer service matters. Great service creates loyal customers, and Biv is a perfect example of that. She made me feel appreciated, and that's something that goes a long way. It's rare to find a restaurant where you genuinely feel that your business is valued every single time you visit. My team at the bank loves Curry Up Now as well--we order from here regularly because the food is consistently delicious and the quality never disappoints. It's become one of our favorite lunch spots. Thank you to Biv and the entire team for creating such a positive experience every time. Your hospitality, attention to your guests, and outstanding food keep us coming back. I highly recommend Curry Up Now to anyone looking for delicious food paired with exceptional customer service. read more

Tried the Junior burrito combo for lunch. The taste was good , it comes with burrito (I ordered paneer with turmeric rice) , chips and salsa and a fountain soda. All for $10.98 was a steal. I ordered online and within 5-10 mins the food was ready. Highly recommend if in the area read more

I've come to this place for a long time and it never gets old!! The service always makes the experience ten times better.

Absolutely love this place for their non-sugary chai, pav bhaji, naught naan, kids meal quesadilla with fryms. Our go to place for evening chai and snacks! read more

Food is always good here. Whenever I am in the area, I have their vada Pav. Closest to Mumbai's I have found in Bay Area

Such good butter chicken with rice! Tasted high quality and enjoyed their chai with biscuits. They were very quick and clean.

The thali is a classic dish at Curry Up Now. Deconstructed Samosa and burrito are also good options. Food portions are decent and an afternoon meal here is for sure to send you into a food coma! The service is good and the place is clean. This restaurant is smaller than the main branch and is more like a hole-in-the wall. Good food and good place to grab a meal with a buddy. read more

We love this place and everyone we bring here raves about it. Deconstructed samosa is fire if you can handle spice. The thali is a great value for $20 and they have an excellent kids menu. Love the mix of authenticity and modern style cuisine (the tikka masala burrito is great). Food comes out quickly and service is friendly. If you don't like spice, this might not be your establishment. Highly recommend! read more

I was surprised! I really enjoyed the butter chicken and the rice! The food was delicious. I will definitely return. Si estas buscando comida rica, dale oportunidad a este lugar. El pollo esta Rico! Yo ordene chicken butter. read more

During my entire meal, the young clerk was flirting incessantly with one of the much older customers, loudly and suggestively. Also, when I asked for a knife, she brought it pointing it straight at me, which is really not the right way to hand someone a sharp object. The samosa was soggy and not fresh. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered it for delivery. I ordered the tandoori burrito. It just was not for me. I found it too spicy with not enough flavor. I don't know how else to put it. It's pretty disappointed. I also ordered from this location by mistake because I was looking at the hurry, curry Instagram videos, and accidentally ordered from curry up now.. because they have the same menu from what I could see. So I don't know if the two businesses are affiliated it just was not for me. It could be for somebody else. I'm glad I tried it, but will not be ordering again. read more

Cancelled a large catering order day of. Do not use their catering services. Now I am going to spend my morning finding alternatives. Completely unacceptable! read more

I have been to Curry Up now 2x I would say first time I went there the food was a 5 out of 5 and the second time it was good but not as good your vegetarian burritos are amazing the vegetarian salads a bit meh I was a bit disappointed for the same time the leftovers in my fridge went bad after 2 days! read more

Yes I love Curry It Up Now and I never order Indian food. I order it for the executives at my work and they love it as well. What a fun place that is. Keep up the yummy saucy chicken. Loved it! read more

The Hella Vegan Deconstructed Samosa dish/entree is really really good, it's most definitely worth getting weekly, very flavorful and filling also, super tasty. I've ordered it 2 Wednesdays straight so far. read more

Gluten-free low-carb chicken tikka masala and lentils and some vegetables was amazing. My companion's vegetarian not-hot curries delighted him too. Friendly service. Modern ambiance. read more

Good food. The stuffed naan concept is interesting because the curry (you could choose between paneer or chicken) is stuffed but exposed on the top layer making it almost like an Indian pizza except that it's naan. The mini samosas are delish and despite doing a takeout the crust was crispy. Overall I give it a 7/10 for food and taste. read more

I got the Thali (Lamb Rogan Josh, Paneer Tikki Masala) and it was great. The portions were generous, the service was friendly and fast and it's located near downtown Palo Alto, but in an area where it's easy to find parking. Definitely worth the money since I get to enjoy a nice meal out and still have leftovers the next day. Highly recommend. read more

Curry Up Now - Indian Near Me - Palo Alto, California

It's hard to describe this place because I'm not sure how street food it is. The didn't really like the food as much as I hoped for but maybe I just don't like chicken breast and I prefer chicken thighs. I've been to another Curry Up Now in Sunnyvale but it seems that the menu has changed over the years. I think it's trying to set itself apart from a typical Indian food but I really don't know what makes them better than the average Indian food taste wise because I actually don't think it tastes better in any way. The service is courteous and the place can seat good number of groups. Tbh for Indian fast food I'd prefer naan and curry over this because I still prefer typical Indian food. read more

Food was tasty but I thought the portions could be better. Was not filling for a meal but my taste buds were very happy. Got food delivered. Tikka Masala Bowl - chicken, rice, and chana garbanzo masala make up this dish and it's delicious though I consider it a bit small. Rice does not make up the entire bottom layer as it might look, there's an even split into thirds of chicken, rice, and garbanzo. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Everything together had a blast of flavor and even on their own, items were yummy. read more

AMAZING food and service, love all the menue ambiance is great, will be back for some more

We have been fans of this place when it was still a food truck and pre-brick and mortar locations. I still think their Thali plates are the best deal one area - three dishes (including butter chicken and any of their proteins), rice, bread, samosa and some cool star chips plus salsas and toppings and complimentary Chai (and cookies) for about $20 ! Delicious, filling and a nice variety of flavors ! They seem to have a lot of take out orders but a clean and nice place to sit and chill and eat ! Support small local businesses and give these folks a try ! Yum indeed. read more

Ridiculously small portions. Almost $20 for 7oz of chicken, and please don't call it a bowl. Not coming back. The photo taken just as we picked up the order, but looks like someone already had half. read more

Haven't been here for a while. Now I wonder why we don't come here more often! My fiancé ordered the death by tikka masala... a medley of chicken tikka masala, Dahl, rice, naan, and chips. Truly a complete meal. Tikka masala was very flavorful. I ordered the paleo bowl. Wow what a generous amount of tandoori chicken thigh. The chicken is very spicy but delicious. Cauliflower rice is a bit dry, undercooked, and flavorless. But the chicken really makes up for it :) read more

The staff were lazy and refused to open the store restroom, making us walk 10-15 minutes to the nearest public restroom. The service was rude and unhelpful. On top of that, 3 out of 4 people in our group got sick after dining here. A really bad experience overall. Will never come back or recommend this place. read more

I flew in from Texas and Curry Up Now was one of my must stops! The location in FlowerMound was amazing so I had to come try this one. The chicken kebab was very flavorful, and the housemade mango lassi was the perfect pairing for it. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I've been going to Curry Up Now for years starting at this location. I'm surprised to see a less than stellar rating for this location. The food is great, staff are welcoming and the location is right in downtown. I went last night and was treated to a free mango lassi and desert! I ordered the sexy fries, a Punjabi burrito, and a biryani plate. Tons of super tasty food. I'll keep coming back! read more

An elegant restaurant, tidy, well-kept and with quick service. The butter chicken was very smooth and creamy, and the tikka masala was perfectly seasoned. Both were particularly delicious. The side order of garlic naan comes with 4 pieces, though we had already dug into it by the time I took this picture. The mango lassi was sweeter than I usually find at other places, but I consider that a plus! read more

Solid paneer combo bowl!! The sauce was good, a bit salty. Wrap was underwhelming so wouldn't get this again.

If you've been looking for affordable and fast Indian cuisine, I would definitely recommend checking out Curry Up Now. While the quality definitely doesn't compare to Palo Alto's high end/Michelin approved spots (Rooh, Ettan, Zareen's), Curry Up Now is definitely a solid option that satisfies your craving for Indian food without any extra frills. I ordered a Death By Tikka Masala Thali, which came with a choice of paneer and/or chicken tikka masala, naan (I went with the burnt chili flavor), basmati rice, and a mini samosa. Definitely a good option if you want to sample a little bit more of the menu without having to pick different items! In terms of the food quality, I was definitely reminded more of Costco style Indian food rather than authentic Indian cuisine. You can also tell that their naan is not made fresh in-house, although I did appreciate how they heated it up before serving it to me. Nevertheless, the food was definitely delicious, albeit a bit salty for my liking, and nothing really stood out to me as mind blowing. Service can definitely be a little scattered - thankfully I checked my order before leaving, but my package didn't contain the mango lassi that I ordered, which was pretty disappointing. Definitely make sure to also ask for utensils if you're getting takeout, since they're not automatically included in your takeout bag! read more

I've been to Curry Up Now, three times. Which is a surprise because I've been getting pizzas at New York Pizza for years. But myself and my mother "discovered" this little place one day on a walk when we couldn't decide what to eat. And we are so glad we did! We've ordered the big share platter. The Tikki Masala and Butter chicken are just chefs kiss. The naan bread is so warm and fresh out of the oven. We tried their chicken tacos for the first time yesterday and it's definitely going to be a dish that I order for future visits. My mom loves the mango yogurt drink. The very kind lady working the register (I forgot your name I'm so sorry) is always polite and helpful when trying to decide what to order. She gives us such a warm welcome when we visit. I recommend this place 100%. The food is fresh and you can tell they put effort and thought into their ingredient and dishes. read more

Using my last 7% battery to write this review because I love this place so much. It's fast, it's tasty, it's affordable and the employees are so kind and provide top notch service. I come here all the time with my family and it's always a pleasant experience. I come here any time I don't know what I want for lunch or dinner because it is satisfying and the flavors are vibrant and delightful. Curry Up Now is good for families, casual dining and take out. The free chai drew me in but the food makes me return again and again and again. read more

If you want to just pay for rice and garbanzo beans. This is the place for you. I used to go to San Mateo location when they first opened. But after 1-2 years they got very popular and started skimping on protein. I door dashed palo alto today and got a chicken burrito. Guess what, 3-4 tiny pieces of chicken. Im done, never again. read more

My supervisor was buying lunch for the clinic and we ended up choosing Curry Up Now to try. I have seen Curry Up Now when it use to be in Alameda but closed down, but never got a chance to try it. I was pretty excited to get to try it this time around. After looking at the menu I opt for a Chicken Makhni Butter bowl. Two of my other co workers got the Makhni Butter Burrito and I guess that confused my supervisor as he ended up getting me a burrito as well instead of the bowl. I took a bite of the burrito and it wasn't bad. I quite like it but wished there was an option to get it spicy if we wanted. I ended up saving it for dinner as I ended up not being hungry during lunch waiting for the food to come. I know I definitely asked for chicken when I placed my order with my manger, but as I was eating the burrito it didn't seem like it was chicken inside, I believe it was paneer instead, which was a little disappointing. Overall it was pretty good, but for me it could've been better. I may come back again to try other items, but not sure yet. read more
