curry up now

first time went to this place. had deconstructed samosa, was pretty good and yummy. like it is upgraded version of samosa chaat which u have in india. was enough for me as a meal. different type of glasses are available for drinking water. didn't visit the bar section, hopefully will do it next time😉

cool place for indian delicacies! preparations are pretty authentic from the taste perspective. size of servings are absolutely large for the normal stomach too! :-)

this place is super busy in the evenings and it's fairly hard to find parking as well. so be prepared.

the place itself is bustling, softly lit and welcoming. full of chatter and the smell of food, i loved it right away.

the paneer kathi roll, while tasty wasn't quite enough for a full meal.

the deconstructed samosa was hot, spicy with crispy bits of samosa. i ordered the paneer topping and it was quite enough for a meal and then some to take home. (makes the car smell though!)

sexy fries: crispy and sweet they were just right.

my friend had a rice based entrée and she wasn't quite happy with the freshness of the rice. although it had quite a few bites missing (thanks to our yes-stale, no-fresh debate) they replaced it for her.

the ambience is lovely, bollywood inspired walls that start at least one fun conversation. definitely visiting again. :)

a mini bollywood in san mateo. the food is desi fusion with awesome combinations. kudos to the chef for coming up with lipsmacking recipes and wonderful names!!! the samosas are amazing and so are the kathi rolls. a must visit place in san mateo for all spice lovers.

fantastic! super innovative. the decor is wonderful and the food is delicious. fusion of indian and mexican cuisine and really innovative ideas. it's so quirky and interesting - nothing matches but it all seems to work. the food was delicious!! i can't wait to go back to try everything on their menu!

this is a food truck gone brick and mortar.  order at the counter, then select a seat in the contemporary interior furnished with sleek black tabletops that match the unusual menu choices displayed chalk board-style on the wall.  the menu blends ethnic indian street food with mexican dishes--think chicken tikka masala burrito, kathi roll (a wrap consisting of a whole-wheat parantha flat bread stuffed with, perhaps, egg and paneer), aloo paratha quesadilla, sexy fries (cross-cut sweet potato fries topped with tikka masala), deconstructed samosa (a mushed-up samosa with chickpeas and teeny-tiny mini samosas mixed in).  drinks include a ginger-mint lemonade and rose, mango, and mango-mint lassis.  special vegan and gluten-free menus are available. more places to eat in san mateo. here are some travel articles to inspire and help you plan some spectacular getaways. images c2013 carole terwilliger meyers

okay, so if you are a person who is willing to satisfy your taste buds with a treat, do not listen to the review below. curry up now offers menu items that are innovative and new. you'll never see anything like it. but basically of you love indian food and love to try something different, you'll definitely want to check out this place. i ordered the burrito which had indian tikka masala and basmati rice and some other indian stuff, all wrapped in a tortilla. it costed me $8 and was so big i had to split it with my brother. to me, that was a pretty good price to pay for lunch. and, it was sooo bomb! my advice is to give that place a shot.

disgusting!!! that is not indian food, street food or not. no indian cuisine puts melted cheese & jalapeño on what was a pizza base cos that's not a naan bread. the tikka massala basically tasted of overloaded pepper & had no flavour at all. i like my food spicy as in vindaloo spicy but that was ridiculous!!! greasy way overpriced slop! oh and $50 for 3 dishes is extortionate! will never go back again.
