I love the Curry Up Now brand. All the food I've had is SUPER delicious and can be pretty spicy! I recently had a paneer El Jefe, and it was incredible; it was probably the best thing I've eaten this year! I love that they have vegetarian and vegan options that are so good and filling, and you can't go wrong with the meat options either. Eating in the restaurant is nice, and it's usually really quiet in there when I've gone. They have a QR code on the table, and it super easy to order online; however, the location is not my favorite. I would rather pick it up and eat at home (although the location is perfect in a way since it's near lots of office buildings where people are working in downtown Oakland). The staff have always been nice and welcoming, and the food is made in good time. I highly recommend the burnt chili garlic naan, El Jefe, the burritos, and the chaats.

I first tasted Curry Up now at a training I attended a couple weeks ago and thought it was fabulous so I started ordering it through Grubhub.The Chili Chicken is just a burst of flavor, just the right amount of heat and the chicken is tender. The Turmeric and Fenugreek Jasmine rice is a very aromatic and flavorful compliment to the chicken.My order was on time, hot, and just packed with deliciousness. Perfect post hike meal.

I really wanted to like this place because the concept of Indian Fusion sounded great, but I was wrong. We ordered to-go and online it said our food would be ready in 8 minutes, already a red flag. We ordered 3 different menu items: Pav Bhaji, Death by Tikka Masala Thali, and Chicken Tikka Burrito.The restaurant was empty when I came to pick up. It's a very spacious place, but there was literally no one there. The woman at the counter who handed me my food was very nice though.Pav Bhaji: I had this item at a friend's house and it was so good! They said that not a lot of restaurants around here carry it, so when I saw it on the menu here, I was excited to try it. The buns were very toasty and became hard. Difficult to eat, as they were dry. The veggie filling was ok.Chicken Tikka Burrito: Bf got this and said it was very bland. Lol, not much comment from him.Death by Tikka Masala Thali: Includes chicken tikka masala, your choice of lentils, turmeric rice, naan (I upgraded $1 to chili garlic naan), cracklings, and gulab jamun. The tikka masala was soooo greasy! It was just a puddle of grease. After eating it, it made my stomach hurt throughout the day. The rice was dry. The "naan" was not fresh. Tasted very hard and pita-like. I really couldn't finish this meal at all.I know it's supposed to be like Indian fast food, but man. Very disappointed.

I ordered sexy fries with paneer tikka masala online for pickup via DoorDash; there are optional boxes you can check for spice level but I left those unchecked. The food was done quickly, it was ready within 8 mins of ordering.It seems the default spice level of the dish is pretty spicy, as I am only able to handle mild and I had a hard time with it. I was disappointed by the paneer tikka masala as it tastes rather odd - not in a good way and this is something I've noticed when I ordered paneer tikka masala from other Curry Up Now locations too - and doesn't really taste like the creamy tomato flavor that I have come to expect. fle fries were soft because of curry on them. The sweet potato waffle fries were also soft due to the curry on top of them.The only thing I really liked about this was the generous amount of paneer.

My company sponsored lunch from Curry Up Now's food truck. I understand the menu was limited for the event, but they had rice bowls or burritos with choice of protein and samosa. I got the chicken tikka rice bowl that came with a garbanzo curry. Service was extremely fast and the portion was large. I enjoyed everything and it wasn't too spicy. The chicken tikka was tender and smothered in the perfect amount of sauce. The samosa was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and came with a chutney for extra flavor.

Solid service, great flavor, large portion sizes.If you have a hankering for Indian food, this is the best place! They offer traditional Indian food as well as Asian fusion dishes. The chicken Biryani is my absolute favorite. The tikka masala burrito is a solid hangover cure!

Went with a small group. Nobody else in the place at the time. Took nearly an hour for some people to get their order despite them asking the host about it. She would review the order and have no record of theirs despite them having paid. No apology at all. Would try and tell them they hadn't ordered. She said "you all just came out of nowhere" as if she wasn't expecting customers on a Friday evening. Food was huge portions but mine (vegan burrito) was quite inedible and tasteless and left me with a stomach ache. Place is seriously lacking in ambiance, is understaffed, completely disorganized, and food has gone way downhill.

Fast food quality. So many better places in the area. Portions are decent, but the food's very lackluster. Tastes like they put ketchup in their curry. Something off about it. If you're going to spend $50 on a meal for two people, you don't want to walk away wishing you'd gone somewhere else, but that's where we were with this one. Waste of a dine-out.

Been here 3 times now and everything I've had has been very tasty. Service is fairly quick and the place is pretty quiet. Inexpensive and tasty, I recommend and will be back again!
