The closest Curry Up Now locations to Redwood City are Curry Up Now in San Mateo, a few miles north on US-101, and Palo Alto, a few miles south. Both serve halal-by-default Indo-Californian cuisine including tikka masala burritos, paneer bowls, and permanent vegan options. Delivery from both locations may reach Redwood City addresses depending on app coverage.
Redwood City has grown into one of the denser tech and biotech employment centers on the mid-Peninsula, with major corporate offices along the El Camino Real corridor and the Veterans Boulevard cluster. The dining scene has expanded with the city, but dedicated halal Indian fast-casual options within Redwood City proper remain limited. The practical answer is two Curry Up Now locations a short drive away on either side.
From the north: Curry Up Now San Mateo
Curry Up Now in San Mateo was the brand's first brick-and-mortar, opening in 2011 after the original Burlingame food truck launched in 2009. It sits on the El Camino Real corridor, a few minutes north of Redwood City on US-101 or El Camino. For Redwood City residents and office workers, this is the closest option with a full halal-by-default Indo-Californian menu.
From the south: Curry Up Now Palo Alto
The Palo Alto location is a few minutes south of Redwood City on US-101 or the El Camino corridor. It serves the Stanford Research Park area and Palo Alto tech offices, and its delivery zone may reach parts of Redwood City depending on address.
The menu is consistent across both locations. For a first visit or delivery order, the tikka masala burrito is the starting point: slow-simmered tikka masala, turmeric rice, chana masala, raw onions, and chutneys in a flour tortilla. For gluten-free, convert any burrito to a bowl with rice or cauliflower rice.
Halal proteins at both locations (all certified by default):
Vegetarian: Paneer Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Kadhai Paneer.
Vegan: Hella Vegan with soy-and-wheat plant protein and chana masala, plus chana masala, daal, and aloo gobi as sides.
The allergen and dietary guide has item-by-item confirmation for halal, gluten-free, and vegan diets.
Delivery reach from the San Mateo and Palo Alto locations varies by address and delivery app coverage. Parts of Redwood City fall within the delivery radius of one or both locations. Check your specific Redwood City address when placing an order through the major delivery apps.
For offices and events in Redwood City that need volume beyond what a delivery app handles, Indian catering from the San Mateo or Palo Alto kitchen covers the Redwood City corridor with drop-off and buffet options.
Redwood City's corporate corridor includes significant office presences along Broadway and the Sequoia station area. For recurring office lunches and team events, the catering program is set up specifically for tech-office delivery: individually labeled boxes, dietary documentation, and halal, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free coverage from a single order.
A team lunch where one person needs halal, one is vegetarian, one is vegan, and one avoids gluten can all order from the same catering delivery without separate requests. That one-kitchen coverage is the practical reason Indian catering from Curry Up Now works for the diverse Redwood City office workforce.
From central Redwood City, San Mateo is north on US-101 and Palo Alto is south. Both are a 10 to 15-minute drive depending on traffic. For takeout, order ahead through the Curry Up Now website and pick up at whichever location is closer to your starting point.
