Curry Up Now Catering · Birmingham
Halal Indian street food delivered hot to your office, your wedding, or your backyard across the Birmingham area. Tikka masala burritos, deconstructed samosas, sexy fries, full buffet spreads. One menu that feeds halal, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free guests without a separate order.
Feeding offices, weddings, and events every week, straight from our own kitchen.
The same trays, the same buffet line, the same handful of safe dishes that feed a room without ever giving anyone a reason to ask who ordered. Our Birmingham kitchen at 425 20th Street South runs the same Indo-Californian menu that's been drawing packed rooms since the location opened, and the catering side is built to serve a crowd with the exact quality you get across the counter on a busy Saturday. Whether you're booking a corporate lunch, an Indian wedding weekend, a graduation party, or a community festival, this page covers what's on offer and why it works for a Birmingham guest list.
The Real Problem
Our Birmingham kitchen sits in Southside, a few minutes from UAB and downtown. The area around 425 20th Street South mixes the university and hospital campus, corporate offices, schools and a residential population that has grown more diverse every year.
The hard part isn't finding a caterer in Birmingham. There are hundreds. The hard part is finding one whose food works across a table where the requirements pull in every direction at once. Some guests eat halal, some are vegan, some avoid gluten, and some have never tried Indian food in their lives. Most caterers handle that by running a separate dietary track, which means extra trays, extra cost, and a guest who still ends up with the boring plate.
Curry Up Now is built around that table. The catering menu is organized so one order serves all of those needs from one kitchen, one pickup, and one coherent spread.
🏢
Mixed dietary needs, tight midday window. Individual boxes, clearly labeled.
🎓
A mixed cultural family that wants one spread everyone digs into together.
💼
A tech office where half the room has never tried Indian food.
The Food
Everyone gets their own box. Or everyone digs in together. Or you build the spread tray by tray. Pick the one that fits your event.
01
Feeds 10 to 500
Everyone gets their own. No sharing, no fighting, no wondering who took the last one. Each box is a complete, self-contained meal that holds its quality during transit, which is exactly what an office drop needs. Burrito boxes, bowl boxes, and kathi roll boxes are the workhorses here.
02
Feeds 20 to 200
Big trays, big flavors. Guests serve themselves and come back twice. Full buffet spreads with two entrees, rice, daal, naan, sides, chutneys, and dessert. DIY desi taco bars. The Chaatery street food spread. All built to look impressive on a long table and hold temperature across a two-hour service window.
03
Mix and Match
You know your crowd better than we do. Pick the proteins, pick the sides, pick the snacks. Protein trays of tikka masala, vindaloo, paneer, lamb rogan josh, and chana masala. Turmeric rice and garlic naan by the tray. Samosa platters and gulab jamun for dessert. No minimum, so it scales down as easily as up.

Why Us
Catering isn't a bolt-on at this location. It's core to how the kitchen runs. When a business down the road orders lunch for forty, or a family books a graduation spread, the team treats it with the same attention the dine-in counter gets mid-rush. Three things make it work for Birmingham specifically.
01
Burritos, bowls, and thali platters are built for portability without losing structure. If your event is twenty minutes from the restaurant, the food arrives the way it left. The brand was built on a food truck in 2009, and the portability of every item reflects that original design.
02
Halal runs across all chicken, lamb, and meat preparations as the default. Vegan builds are fully labeled and don't require swaps. Gluten-free selections are detailed on the allergen page. Vegetarian dishes are baked into the core menu.
03
A lot of Indian catering across the Birmingham area runs out of ghost kitchens or commissaries that deliver into Birmingham as an afterthought. Curry Up Now cooks from a real storefront at 425 20th Street South, Suite 104, open daily, with a team that knows the local market. Tighter timing, fresher food, a caterer who knows the venues and the traffic.
Dietary Friendly
Every meat protein at Curry Up Now is halal-certified. That's not a marketing checkbox. It's how the brand has sourced meat since the first food truck in 2009, and it holds across all locations. Booking halal catering in Birmingham, a halal-observant wedding, an Eid gathering, or a mixed-dietary corporate event across the Birmingham area? The entire menu already works for you with no special order required. Supplier documentation is available on request.
