Flower Mound has burritos. Most of them are Mexican, most of them are good, and most of them taste exactly like what you expected before you ordered. What Curry Up Now at 2717 Cross Timbers Rd, Suite 400, Flower Mound TX serves is different in every way that actually matters. The Tikka Masala Burrito is not a novelty. It is the dish that built this brand from a single Bay Area food truck in 2009 into a nationally recognized concept with locations across California, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia. It is also, quite straightforwardly, the best burrito in Flower Mound. Open daily from 11am to 9pm. Phone: (214) 222-5596.
What the Tikka Masala Burrito Actually Is
Akash and Rana Kapoor created the Tikka Masala Burrito in 2009 as the founding item of Curry Up Now's original food truck menu. The logic was direct: tikka masala is one of the most beloved sauces in Indian cooking, and a burrito is one of the most universally understood food formats in America. Combining the two removed the barrier to entry without removing any of the flavor. The food truck sold out. The dish became permanent. It has been on every Curry Up Now menu since.
What goes into it is specific. The Tikka Masala Burrito starts with your choice of turmeric rice or riced cauliflower as the base. The protein, chicken tikka, lamb, or paneer, is cooked separately in a tikka masala sauce built from slow-cooked tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, kashmiri chili for color, and finishing cream for richness. HI-Slaw goes in next: a coconut milk-based slaw with mango, apple, and cabbage that provides the sweetness and acidity the masala needs to be balanced. All of it wraps into a large, soft flour tortilla, folded tight and served immediately.
Every protein is halal-certified as the standard menu, not a special request or a separate section. Vegan fillings including saag and aloo gobi are available across the full burritos menu. The riced cauliflower base makes the entire build keto and gluten-conscious without any modification.
The Dish That Belongs in the Same Conversation as Pav Bhaji and Naan
The Tikka Masala Burrito is Curry Up Now's signature, but it does not exist in isolation. It sits on a menu that carries the full depth of Indo-Californian cooking. On the same visit, you can start with kachori chaat from the street food section, a crispy North Indian puri topped with yogurt, chutneys, and sev, before moving to the burrito as your main. You can order pav bhaji as a shared starter alongside the burrito and cover the table with two completely different expressions of bold Indian street food flavor. And if someone at the table cannot decide between the burrito and the Naughty Naan Indian pizza, both orders together is the right answer.
The kids bowl allows younger diners to eat at their own spice level while the adults work through the burrito menu. This is the practical reality of a restaurant that was built to serve the whole table, not just the most adventurous person at it.
Why This Burrito Beats Everything Else in Flower Mound
Reviewing what exists right now in Flower Mound for burritos: Mexican fast-food chains, a breakfast burrito spot that closes at 3pm, and this. The Tikka Masala Burrito does not compete in the same category as the others. It operates in a completely separate lane, which is exactly why people who have been eating Mexican burritos in Flower Mound for years come to Curry Up Now and describe it as the best burrito they have had in the area.
The reasons are structural. The tikka masala sauce provides a depth of flavor that a salsa-and-beans build cannot match. The HI-Slaw provides a bright, acidic counterpoint that no guacamole approximates. The halal certification across all proteins means the dish serves a significant portion of Flower Mound's diverse community without any workaround. The fast-casual format means the burrito arrives in under fifteen minutes whether you are dining in or picking up.
Co-owners Kiki Khajuria and Samy Kilaru brought this concept to Flower Mound specifically because they had eaten it in California and understood what it could mean for this community. "The food is flavorful, never just spicy, and appeals to everyone," Kilaru said at the location's June 2025 opening. That assessment holds across the burrito, the kachori chaat, the pav bhaji, and everything else on the menu.

The burrito is where most people start at Curry Up Now. The pav bhaji is where the street food story begins. Order both on the same visit and you cover the two most important dishes on the menu in a single meal. The Kachori Chaat works as a natural opener before the burrito arrives, and the Naughty Naan makes a strong shared addition for groups who want a third dish. For workplaces considering the burrito format for team lunches, the office catering guide explains exactly why individual portions work better than a shared platter in that context. The event catering guide covers the larger-scale format.
