La Jolla's corporate and academic landscape is uniquely dense. UC San Diego, the Salk Institute, Scripps Research, and the biotech companies along Torrey Pines Road create a professional community that is internationally diverse, technically sophisticated, and entirely done with standard catering options. Curry Up Now at 9700 Gilman Dr PMB 138, La Jolla, CA 92093 serves this community from a single menu that covers halal-observant researchers, vegan faculty, and first-time Indian food diners simultaneously. Open Daily 10:00am to 8:00pm (Mon-Thu until 10:00pm). Phone: (858) 289-6289. Submit corporate catering inquiries at curryupnow.com/catering-event.
La Jolla's corporate landscape draws talent from across South Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. A team lunch order needs to cover South Asian professionals who grew up eating pav bhaji, halal-observant colleagues, vegan team members, and colleagues who are trying Indian food for the first time. Standard catering options reach one of these profiles reliably. Curry Up Now reaches all four from a single menu.
The Tikka Masala Burrito, created by Akash and Rana Kapoor in 2009 as the founding item on Curry Up Now's original California food truck menu, is individually portioned, labeled by protein build, and requires no serving coordination. Pav bhaji covers plant-based team members from a fully plant-based preparation. The allergens page at curryupnow.com/allergens gives every office manager complete ingredient transparency before the order is placed.
Desk Lunch Format
The Tikka Masala Burrito is the strongest individual format for corporate catering. Individual portions labeled by protein build. Chicken tikka for meat eaters, paneer for vegetarians, vegan saag for plant-based colleagues, and riced cauliflower for keto and gluten-conscious team members. Every option is halal-certified. Every build is labeled individually.
Team Gathering Format
The Naughty Naan Indian pizza, built on naan flatbread with caramelized onions, jalapeño, mozzarella, cotija, and choice of tandoori protein or pav bhaji as a topping, works as the centerpiece dish for corporate gatherings. It is visually distinctive, shareable, and consistently the dish that converts first-time Indian food guests immediately. For company events that include families, the kids bowl covers younger guests. Complete allergen and ingredient detail at curryupnow.com/allergens.
La Jolla's corporate catering market has strong options across multiple cuisines. None of them carry halal certification across all proteins, built-in vegan menu architecture, and the allergen transparency that teams with serious dietary diversity require. Curry Up Now covers all three from a single order. The food truck at curryupnow.com/food-truck extends the corporate catering program to outdoor company events across La Jolla and the broader San Diego area.

The best corporate catering decision for a La Jolla office is the one that nobody on the team has to accommodate around. Curry Up Now delivers that outcome: pav bhaji for the vegetarians, tikka masala burritos for the halal meat eaters, kachori chaat for the table to share, Naughty Naan as the conversation piece, and kids bowls if the company event includes families.
