Samosa
Sora A.

I've always seen Curry Up Now pop up on the TooGoodToGo app, so I figured it was time to give it a shot. First off, their portions are very generous. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala bowl over rice, and was surprised they also included a samosa as an appetizer. Didn't realize the chicharrones were supposed to be paired with the bowl, I just snacked on them separately. No regrets though, lol. The staff was super friendly when I picked up my order. They packed everything up nicely, offered me silverware and napkins, and even gave me some water when I asked. I know it's a small gesture, but it felt nice since I wasn't a regular, just someone grabbing a discounted order from TooGoodToGo. Location-wise, it's tucked in the Price Center, and parking near that roundabout felt a little awkward, but it worked out. The food court was already closing up by the time I got there, so they were already cleaning up and didn't look chaotic like kitchens during a lunch/dinner rush. The court was pretty quiet and clean, not a lot of students around, but I was taking it to go anyway. Not the most vibrant setting, but it didn't really bother me. As for the food, it was solid. Flavorful but missing that depth I've had at other Indian spots. Still, for the price and the portion size, it's hard to complain. If I'm ever in the area again (which isn't often) and craving Indian food, I'd consider stopping by. Probably wouldn't go out of my way, but for the value, hospitality, and convenience, they earned a solid 4 stars from me.

The food here is hot and tastes great. It's the most real restaurant-like establishment in Price Center. However, the portions are small, and prices are high.

My husband brought this home as his company ordered from this place. The food is so amazing! I love Indian food. I've tried both the samosas and the Tikka Masala burrito. The samosas has a great kick to it. It's so flavorful! The Tikka Masada burrito is on point with the flavor. I have never tried a Indian curry burrito so this was so fun to eat! I definitely recommend it!

Its in a food court type of set up- plenty of tables but can get a little crowded. I walked there from work since it seems like parking can be an issue. The food itself was absolutely delicious though.

for 10 bucks, the tikka and rice plate was actually gas. my homie told me this place was gonna be trash but this place far exceeded my expectations. the tikka had a bunch of spices and was very aromatic n fragrant. rice was also very tasty. i came towards the end of the day n it wasn't dry or anything. still hella moist n shi. oh and the employee at the front was also very nice and chill. we started conversating bout sacramento which is where im from. yeah but very solid place! you get a solid amount of food for 10 bucks

Fast Indian food with many vegan options -- what's not to like?
Peter E.

So, my wife and I were looking for a place to eat last Saturday evening before the Death Cab for Cutie concert at the new Epstein Amphitheater. Surprisingly -- especially considering it was Homecoming weekend -- most restaurants on campus were closed. So we headed over to the Price Center to see what was available. Curry Up Now had been on my radar because, (A) we love Indian food, and (B) they have lots of vegan options. We were happy to see that Curry Up Now was open -- we checked out the menu then placed our order. My wife and I both got the Hella Vegan Bowls, which were excellent. We also got a side order of two samosas. Our order was ready within five minutes or so. It turned out to be a TON of food. I finished off my bowl, but there was no way my wife could finish hers. And there was no way we could even think about eating the samosas -- we were stuffed. Took the leftovers home after the concert and enjoyed them for the next couple days. Excellent food and service at a very reasonable price. We'll be back again and again to check out ALL the vegan options.

No. But it's definitely flavorful and good! The biriyani was the standout. The chicken was bone in but so soft and tender and it was a nice sized portion. I also enjoyed the saag paneer a lot. The Raita was much more water than I'm used to which made it a little difficult to actually enjoy without it being like a soup over the meal but it provided a nice balance to the spices! I appreciated that this place had good flavor. That's something that's lacking in a lot of the Indian food I've had in San Diego but they were definitely doing great things to get some delicious stand out flavors going!

Was craving Indian food and decided to give this place a try. I ordered their dinner plate, which…read morewas under $12 and came with rice, two curries, and naan--definitely seems like a great deal for the price. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with the flavor. While the portion and value were solid, the curries were very bland and lacked the bold spices and depth of flavor I usually expect from Indian food. The naan ended up being my favorite part of the meal--it was the standout on the plate. Overall, great value if you're looking for an affordable meal, but I was hoping for much more flavor.

So stuffed after eating all the yummy things!…read more We ordered garlic naan, vegetable pakora, gobi manchurian, butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, paneer saag, kheer, gulab jamun, and ras malai. Our order also included a large to go container of basmati rice. There was plenty to feed our family of 5. We ordered mild for everything. The butter chicken was our favorite savory dish. We loved the garlic naan, for obvious reasons (garlic lovers here). The gobi manchurian was a new dish for us. It sounded good so we tried it and happy that we did. It was fresh and flavorful. We hadn't ordered Indian desserts before so we tried a little of everything. Hands down the gulab jamun was the winner! So light, fluffy and soaked in a delicious syrup. I kinda wish there were more but am glad there wasn't because I don't know if I could control myself (ha)! We ordered online and had it delivered. The wait was a little long but that is to be expected at prime dinner time. I can't speak to the service other than how they prepared and packaged the food, both of which were good. The food arrived still hot and ready to go. Overall, I think it was well priced, worth the wait and delicious. We will likely order from here again!

We were visiting San Diego from the Bay Area and planning to head to the San Diego Zoo from our hotel. We wanted to grab a good meal before entering the zoo and found Dosa Studio on Google -- it was a small detour and absolutely worth it. We went on a Saturday and they had a brunch buffet from 11 AM to 2 PM. We were pleasantly surprised by the wide spread of dishes covering both North and South Indian cuisine, along with tea included. The pricing was very reasonable -- if I remember correctly, it was around $10 for kids under 12 and about $18 for adults, which felt like a great deal for the variety offered. We were a bit rushed that day and had to eat quickly and leave. On our way out, we noticed they had just started a samosa chaat counter that was part of the buffet -- which we unfortunately missed! We ended up coming back the next day to enjoy the buffet in a more relaxed way. This time, we finally got to try the samosa chaat we had missed the day before, and it did not disappoint. Since San Diego was new to us, this restaurant became our go-to spot for the weekend -- and it happened to be the last day of the brunch buffet, so we made sure to stop by again. Hopefully they still offer this brunch buffet. If they do, it's definitely a great value for the price. Even if a few dishes aren't to your taste, there's enough variety to fill up on what you love.

The dish was very bland, and even the chutney lacked the spice and flavor I was expecting. I also wasn't sure why the papdi was broken into tiny pieces--it felt like I got the crumbs from the bottom of the bag rather than whole pieces. I could barely taste the chickpeas or potatoes underneath all the sauces, which ended up overpowering the dish without adding much flavor.
