Disappointing Fried Chicken Experience
I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was really disappointing. While the place looked clean and the pizza was great, the fried chicken was terrible — very greasy, overcooked, and even burnt. I couldn’t eat the pieces at all and only managed the sandwich, but it upset my stomach badly. By 4 a. M. The next day, I was in real pain, and that was the only thing I ate that day.

Unique Indian Fusion with Creative Dishes
My experience at this restaurant was marked by its delish Indian food, presented with an American twist/fusion. While the dish names were unconventional, they were incredibly clever, appealing, and amusing. Dishes like the Sexy Fries, Naughty Naan, Holy Moly Fried Ravioli, and The Hella Vegan Bowl or Burrito are 100% unique and original, showcasing the restaurant's culinary creativity. They are a staple in the community, offering signature dishes that are authentic, iconic, and traditional, yet reimagined with a modern twist. The service and atmosphere were both rated a 4 out of 5.

Amazing Service, Okay Food
My experience at the restaurant was marked by amazing service. The food was just okay; while I've had better, I would still return if given the chance. The atmosphere was also rated highly.

Good food, but host policy issue
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the food was good, super flavorful and fresh, and the service was excellent with super friendly staff, there was a concern regarding the host eating in the kitchen area, which is against food handling policy. I suggest giving employees a lunch break so they can enjoy their food without rushing.

Tasty Naan, Disappointing Wine
I love all the burritos here. This time, I tried the naughty naan with chicken, which was very tasty and the chicken was not dry. The caramelized onions were delicious and balanced out the heat. My only disappointment is the white wine here; it was warm and sour. We should have known not to order wine at an Indian place.

My experience at Curry Up Now Food Truck at The Presidio was so delicious! I ordered the Tika Masala Rice Bowl with Paneer and chana masala, served with turmeric rice. I also enjoyed a mango lassi. The food was superb!

Inventive and Colorful Dining Experience
My experience at this restaurant was great. It's a very inventive and colorful place, truly unique. The food is very good, offering many variations and interesting combos, which is the point rather than strict authenticity. The service was also great, and we were helped by a lovely young lady from Honduras 🇭🇳.

From Food Truck to Franchise Success
I've witnessed this place evolve from a single, scrappy food truck into a thriving franchise. It's great that they've maintained their signature playful dishes like Tikka Masala Burritos, Naughty Naan, and Sexy Fries, alongside their traditional Indian street food such as pani puri and bhel puri. My experience was very positive, especially with the food quality being a perfect 5 out of 5.

Inconsistent Food, Great Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the atmosphere was fantastic, rated a 5 out of 5, the food quality was inconsistent. We consistently ordered the Veg Kathi Roll and Guacamole Sev Puri, but sometimes key ingredients were missing. My friend also received stale fries with his tikka masala. It seems you need to be very careful with your menu choices, as only certain dishes are good. The service received a rating of 3, and the price per person was between $10–20. For vegetarians, it's highly recommended.
