Food is okay. Some dishes are too spicy or sours. Service is good. Nice ambiance. My younger son, my husband and I got an upset stomach from the food. It was better a few years ago. Quality has gone done. read more

Had an awesome time here! Went to the bar and Francesca was awesome! She made really tasty drinks and was an awesome bartender . It wasn't too loud and a nice hang spot. The summer whip drink was delicious! We went Saturday around 5:30pm and there was plenty of seating. Would highly recommend getting bites and drinks for their HH that goes until 6pm. read more

Met a friend here for dinner, drinks, and conversation on a Saturday evening, and this was the perfect setting... clean and modern, with great lighting and various options for seating.  We shared a couple dishes, and absolutely loved them. We had the Naughty Naan (Indian pizza) with chicken tikka masala, and it was served hot, slightly crispy, with a generous amount of cheese and sauce, a hint of sweetness and a tad spicy with the jalapeno topping, and the pieces of chicken tender and seasoned well. From the street snacks menu, we tried the Mini Samosas. Those curried potatoes were so tasty, and the shell was certainly flaky as advertised and not too thick or heavy.  For drinks, I got the Pimm's O'Clock and Perennials and Poison from Mortar & Pestle, since the bar and restaurant are combined. The drinks are pretty consistent here, so they were delicious and made well. Unfortunately the service at Mortar & Pestle is also consistently SLOW, and this isn't the first time I've experienced this sloth-like service, so I guess that's just how they do it here.  Luckily, the food service at Curry Up Now was far more reasonable. So if you're coming here mainly to eat, you'll probably be pleased with your experience... even more if you like the smell of curry (me, not too much). FYI, if the lot in front of the restaurant is full, there's more parking available along Crescent Village Circle. read more

I tried Curry Up several times already, last time was on Memorial Day. It was quite empty at a lunch time and I picked the table near window. I ordered Meat Sweats Thali Platter that was enough for 2 people in regards to the size of the portion. I really enjoyed it, it wasn't too spicy ( and I specifically asked for it), saucy and tasty. They give you enough Naan, rice and even chips. The waiter also brings you a bottle of water. During the weekdays they serve you with hot Chai tea and 2 pieces of cookies. The place itself is quite comfy, spacious and colourful. It's cool that you can open the menu with QR code and pay through your phone. The service was better in the past, but maybe it was just a holiday and it was difficult to find enough people to work this day. read more

Tasty vegan food! Thanks to Sam and Dikshya at the kitchen counter for the menu recommendations!

Takeout order: 9/10 Deconstructed Samosa with Chicken $12- Amazing flavor! Good amount of chucks of chicken. Samosas were a bit soggy from takeout but some edges were still crispy. Definitely needs to be eaten right away. Samosa filling worked really well with the bell peppers and sauces combination. Pretty good value for the price as well. Personally I would want it to be more spicy but I could try that next time. read more

My first time trying an Indian Burrito and damn, SO MUCH FLAVOR! Actually, everything we tried at Curry Up Now was bursting with flavor! I highly recommend any of the burritos or bowls and definitely get the Bhel Puri for an appetizer because it was so refreshing. This place also came out with some Indian-Chinese dishes on the menu. The San Jose location has its own full bar called Mortar & Pestle attached and oooh-wee are the cocktails strong! * Samosas * Bhel Puri * Lamb Bowl * Lamb Burrito * Chili Chicken * Cocktails: Mango Sangria, Bangalore Old Fashioned, Inflight Smoker, The Mortar & Pestle, and Ambika's Grove read more

My parents and I came here and didn't know what to expect! What a treat we got and we left so full and happy! We even got to meet the new head chef Bikrom who revamped the menu of Curry up Now across the U.S. Street food of India at its best. My parents and us had so much fun trying half of the dishes were vegetarian and they tasted so good. LAMB SAMOSAS samosas stuffed with ground lamb keema & curried potatoes; chutneys, yum. DYNAMITE TANGRA WINGS chicken wings in an insanely spicy indian-chinese sauce, perfect for happy hour! HOLY MOLY FRIED RAVIOLI fried cheese ravioli, tikka masala dip, this vegetarian dish was bomb tasty. PANI PURI hollowed semolina puri, potato garbanzo mash, cumin tamarind water, vegan, 1 of my fav snacks. DAHI PURI hollowed semolina puri, potato garbanzo mash, chaat masala yogurt, vegetarian, I can eat this dish all day! PUNJABI BY NATURE (burrito wrap) saag paneer and tikka masala choice of chicken or paneer, so good. Kashmiri lamb or VEGGIES bowls come with choice of turmeric white rice or riced cauliflower, chana garbanzo masala or daal lentils, plus pickles, pico kachumber, simply delicious. TIKKA MASALA iconic tikka masala choice of chicken or paneer , you can't go wrong with this dish! PEACE. LOVE. VEGAN. aloo gobi, vegan plant protein, daal lentils, vegan, aloo parantha instead of naan, a picture perfect dish! Some of their Deconstructive dishes are also wild to your imagination, so try them! If you love spices, adventurous in flavors and textures, you would love this spot! Reasonable prices, good service, happy hour, good food, and good people all around! I chose this location because it's down the street from American Red Cross where I volunteer. read more

I wish I could remember the name of the girl who helped us last night, I could tell she was newer to the staff - but she was awesome. She truly went above and beyond to make our experience great. I always look forward to being in this area since Santa Cruz doesn't have a Curry Up Now yet and it's one of my favorites. read more

This place hits for lunch when I crave Indian street food. I haven't had the chance to try the whole menu, but I'm sure it all tastes delicious. My usual is: Pani Puri, Butter Chicken & Sexy Fries. This whole meal doesn't make you feel sexy after cause you'd be eating til your bust out of your pants... literally can't stop eating even if I'm so full. It's THAT good! Staff is always friendly & the food comes out quickly. Interior is decorated really nice & they're always playing good music. Recommend wearing stretchy pants if you're going to eat here. Thank me later. read more

Delicious Indian street food in a sit-down restaurant! It is kind of expensive though. Lots of "naughty and sexy" food themes on their menu lol so get ready. They are located in an apartment complex towards the outside with plenty of street parking and outdoor seating. Recommend to order the Deconstructed Samosas read more

I ordered the rice with lamb sorry I don't remember the exact name of the dish. The food came put fast, it was delicious spicy and flavorful. The drink was horrendous, it wasn't balanced at all and it had a lit cinnamon stick i am all for the aroma flavor and showmanship but really? I had to put it out on the counter top to avoid the ashes from falling in my drink. When I was there the system was down when I was attempting to pay so I offered cash, he couldn't open the till lol. The staff was nice but maybe they don't have the tools they need to succeed. On a side note there was a robot bringing food to the tables and I thought that was soo cool. I love the use of technology to make our lives better. Management- training your bartenders and have contingencies in place to save the customers experience. read more

A very good place for family dining experience with a huge Indian menu. You would find a lot of vegan and #indo vegetarian options here. Pav bhaji - the healthier version of the pav bhaji. - it did not taste wonderful like a roadside dish. But, I was happy as it looked extremely healthy, exactly like I would prepare at home -3/5 Thali - the thali is full. And if you are a curry fan, like me, you would enjoy the collection of 3 full cups of curry/dal in teh thali and you would be full with that - 3/5 We had cheese crackers kind of thing. They were really good, we went for another one. Their kulfi icecream was amazing and we had loads of it. A nice try in the north of San Jose. The order and payment is directly on the phone. The service is a little slow, prolly because of the crowd. But we had enough of fun because of the group we went with. read more

Tried out their curry chicken tacos for a light lunch. Food is good and fresh, was a unique experience to have curry in a taco. They provided large water jugs to each person as well, nice touch. There is both indoor seating and some outside seating. It is only a few tables outside but a nice quiet and shady area. read more

Great drinks. Hunter and Francesca were excellent hosts ! Will be back again. Filling in for the rest of 85 characters.

Menu is fusion Indian recipe with a twist. Deconstructed samosa with paneer was good. Naughty naan was on the sweet side, should have selected the option to add spice. It's unity's is pretty bland and the dip of curry sauce doesn't do justice to the naan bites, absolutely in need of some flavor. Value for money - 4.5/5 Service - 4.5/5 Ambience - 4/5 Food - 4/5 read more

Came here to celebrate my best friend's birthday the other weekend. She is of Indian heritage and thus quite particular about Indian food. That said, she and I were both very happy with our dishes! Among the many menu choices, I got the keto bowl with paneer and she opted for a naan pizza. Food was served very quickly, and it was hot. Everything was flavorful and fresh. I loved how healthy options were actually possible. Prices are fair, and as a plus, this place takes COVID seriously. This may be my favorite Indian eatery in the Bay Area, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Both were delicious. Pineapple fizz is a must if you love coconut flavor. Thank you Brianna for such a lovely time. We will be back soon. read more

Good place. I like the Decor but service can be slow. You can order on phone by scanning the code on the table but be aware the system charges some extra amount that supposedly gets refunded later.

The inside was pretty and there are a lot of fun choices. The inside decor is super fun too and a nice tribute to the food truck they started as! We tried the new chili chicken off the Indian Chinese menu and kids meal butter paneer to go. The guy said the chili chicken isn't too spicy but... my mouth was burning I know I'm weak but make sure you have lots of rice or naan! My kid LOVED the butter paneer and "steering wheel crisps" that came with it. He thought those were so fun and enjoyed the little biscuits to finish it off! They also have QR codes to scan to place your order and pay which is cool! read more

Received a coupon to try a new item for free and came by on a Friday night to redeem the offer. Once you enter, it's confusing to navigate as first timers. We didn't know if we should wait at the front, seat ourselves or head to the counter. We went to the cashier to ask how to redeem this coupon and the Indian man in grey uniform (looked like head chef) insisted that the offer was ONLY for dine in. Nowhere on the offer email or offer ad does it say for dine in only. My bf and I planned to get it to go since we had a dog with us and preferred not to eat there. He told us to order from the table QR code to redeem the offer. We were annoyed at that point and went to an outdoor table to order with the QR code to find that there isn't a place to enter the coupon on the check out tab. Went back to the cashier and another lady helped us out and said for the offer we need to order through one of them. Annoyed since the Indian man told us the opposite. Anyways, after all that confusion I ordered the chicken biryani and my bf got the chili chicken. We sat at the outdoor patio and no one brought any water, utensils, plates, etc to us. My bf's chili chicken came first and the worker who delivered the dish was soo friendly and brought us sharing plates, utensils and water without having to request it. My biryani came a few min after and after mixing it, i noticed there was no chicken inside. I wasn't sure if it was supposed to come with actual pieces of chicken or it's just flavoring. I was waiting for someone to come out to check on us to ask about it but no one came so I went back in after 10 min to ask. The lady came out and said it's the wrong dish and took it back and the chicken biryani came 10 min later. Not sure if this is unreasonable but I appreciate when workers let us keep the wrong dish due to food waste and it's extra food that they'll just toss lol. Chili chicken was very saucy and tasted pretty good. The few bites of veggie biryani we tried was good. The chicken biryani lacked flavor. My bf really enjoyed the yogurt sauce the biryani comes with. Bad experience due to poor service and average food. I wouldn't expect much service from here as it seems like a fast causal place but it was confusing to navigate as a first timer. read more

Leaving this review here as a shoutout to our bartender Brandon! I came here with a buddy on Tuesday just a little after 2pm, and was pleasantly surprised to hear that happy hour here starts at 2. Enjoyed some beers on tap with a perfectly spiced lamb burrito. The bar was empty so we were able to just have a blast shooting the shit with Brandon. Great food, even greater company See y'all again soon read more

The staff is nice and polite. The ambience is amazing. The vibe's really great. Recommened!!

12/14/23 This was the #FoodTruck at work today. Prices were subsidized so the rating is independent of price. 1. Chicken Burrito: It's about 80% rice, 10% something else, potatoes?, and 10% chicken. Sauce was nicely spicy but otherwise lacks seasoning and overall was super boring. Needs more burrito stuff. Anyway, I threw away half of it as it was basically eating rice and sauce in a tortilla. 1/10 2. Samosa: This actually was tasty. Nicely fried. Good seasoning. Sauce on the side wasn't very flavorful though. 6/10 Overall 1/5 #santaclara #indianfood #indianfastfood read more

Ordered delivery from here and it was great! We got the paneer kathi roll, paneer quesadillax, burrito and angry idli for delivery. The food arrived quickly and was packed well. We have tried all but the idli before. The quesadilla, kathi roll and burrito were great. Perfectly portioned, seasoned and made well. The paneer in the dishes was super soft and the parathas and tortilla was well made and cooked through. The new item on the menu, angry idli was a SUPER disappointment! The idli was probably steamed first, fried and sautéed with spices and sauces. They tasted super oily and lacked the taste that the sauces should have got in. Knocking off a star for that. I would definitely order again from here, but not sure if I'm trying the new items on their menu. Their classics are SUPERB and they continue to be delicious! read more

Curry Up Now is my go-to fast casual if I want something quick and hearty. The place is spacious and I usually get my food to go. Yesterday night, it took awhile for anyone to acknowledge me when I went to pick up my food. The deconstructed samosa was flavourful and I love that they serve it with tomatoes, jalapeno and chutneys. They have now raised the price significantly (vs two years ago) so I'm docking the stars. It is definitely not authentic Indian food as well but that's a given. read more
