Our Story
Curry Up Now started in 2009 with a single food truck in the San Francisco Bay Area. Akash Kapoor wanted to do one thing: make Indian food approachable without dumbing it down. Tikka masala in a burrito. Samosas deconstructed on a plate. Naan turned into pizza.
Today we have locations across California, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama. Coming soon to Smyrna, TN and Seattle, WA.
Our La Jolla location is at UC San Diego, bringing Curry Up Now into one of Southern California’s most active campus communities. Surrounded by students, faculty, and steady daily foot traffic, it’s a natural fit for quick meals in a fast-moving environment.

What La Jolla Says
★★★★★
"This is one of my favorite places to eat on the campus. The burritos are the real star. The chicken tikka masala is the real star. I've tried the Makhini one as well, but it wasn't as good. I wish they lamb as a choice here as well."

"The cashiers here are very funny and friendly, especially Noah and Tim. The food is nice and very filling, can last you up to a whole day if you have their burritos for breakfast. Would recommend to anyone their pizzas and the fried stuffs. Great service and food overall."
