curry up now

the popular indianfoodtruck curry up now has hit the big time.

i had stayed in sanjose for 2 months and the indian restaurants were the saviours when it comes to food. i tried this restaurant on a weekday evening and still, it was so lively and packed. thefoodwas good, we had tried samosa, thalis and a few drinks. i also tried panipuri which was great. the ambiance was super cool 4/5thefoodwas tasty but not spicey 3/5overall, i liked the place, food and the funny graphics on the walls!

went there with a friend. being an indian , i usually don’t prefer indian cuisines. but this place change my preference. it has a good vibes inside and outside because of the interior. they serve indianfoodbut it is kind of fusion to match with western somehow. i can’t say fully fusion but you will like the versions.

must try at least once.
evening would be better :)

an average experience with indian streetfoodat curry up now. thefoodis definitely just so so and nothing to write home about. tried the paneer burrito which was laced with so much garam masala and tasted like burrito with biryani inside which is really bad combination. the dessert was nice and my friends seemed to like their food. unfortunately i didn't enjoy my burrito. probably not coming back

ok, i have a new favourite when it comes to indianfoodin silicon valley. curry up now has a very contemporary and lively ambience. thefoodis largely a variation of streetfood... almost every single dish we ordered was outstanding!

let's start with the drinks - i ordered the bangalore old fashioned. others in our group ordered junkyard heart, mexican bishop and taj mahal beer. the drinks were presented nicely and were all outstanding - not too sweet, very balanced and bursting with flavour.

for appetisers we ordered gol guppas, party in your mouth (which is a platter of a variety of snacks like pao bhaaji, fried idli chaat, potato crisks etc) and black label sexy fried with chicken ... which they flambe in black label scotch at your table. all the appetisers were very good and highly recommended.

for main course we ordered a couple of thalis and kathi rolls ... again quite excellent. wrapped up with a dessert of gulab malpua crepe, which was just about ok.

the service was courteous and prompt. the server who took our order gave several good recommendations and we appreciate that.

overall, a great experience and i will definitely go back here!

nice take on india food! cool hangout spot,foodhas been consistently good. love the naughty naan and behl puri here. happy hour prices are good as well!
tikka masala is spot on

a mini bollywood in san mateo. thefoodis 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 thefoodis 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. thefoodwas delicious!! i can't wait to go back to try everything on their menu!

this is afoodtruck 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 streetfoodwith 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 indianfoodand 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, streetfoodor 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 myfoodspicy 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.
