    This review has been a long time coming because Curry Up Now was one of those places that became…read morepart of my routine when I lived in San Mateo--and I still think about it. San Mateo, in my opinion, is one of the most perfect places to live when it comes to weather. Always sunny, usually hovering around that sweet spot of 74 or 75 degrees, safe, walkable, and right in between Burlingame and the rest of the Peninsula. Everything felt easy to get to, and downtown San Mateo really came alive over the years. Maybe it grew a little too fast toward the end, but there's no denying they did an incredible job building up that area. Curry Up Now started as a food truck, and I'll admit--I was one of those people chasing food trucks on Twitter back in the day. So when they opened their brick-and-mortar in downtown San Mateo, I was thrilled. They picked the perfect location. You can hop off the Caltrain, grab a bite, meet friends, catch an Uber, or head back to the garage and be on your way. It's lively, walkable, and always has something going on. My go-to was usually the thali plate. I know they have a lot of creative and innovative items on the menu, but I tend to stick with the tried and true. The thali lets you sample a little bit of everything, and it always felt like a solid, satisfying meal. The chutneys alone were worth the visit--tamarind, garlic, and that bright green one with a real kick. I love spicy food, so I never held back. Another bonus at this location was the full bar, which made it a fun place to meet friends and hang out for a bit. The outdoor seating was also a big plus--very much that California lifestyle where you can sit outside almost year-round and just enjoy the day. It's especially great with a group because you can order a bunch of dishes and share. Prices were reasonable, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole place had a casual, welcoming energy. Nothing pretentious--just good food, good service, and a steady flow of people coming and going. I moved away in 2023, and this is definitely one of those spots I miss. If you're passing through on Caltrain or spending time in downtown San Mateo, it's absolutely worth stopping by. Curry up, eat well, travel safe--and don't skip the chutneys.

    Confusing menu and ordering . Noticed vindaloo burrito ,but…read morenot on menu. Server had no idea what mint chutney was. Pricing is hard to comprehend. Vindaloo is supposed to be hot and spicy ,there's was meh. Won't be back.

    I'm a sucker for Indian buffets but today I needed to grab a pizza to take home. Curry & Kabab is…read morelocated along El Camino but parking on a Saturday afternoon was not too hard to just pull up along the curb. Pizza takes about 20minutes so calling ahead would save you time. They're very nice here. It's a small restaurant with enough tables and although the buffet is small, they serve goat and that's always a favorite of mine. I ordered the XL CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA $32.88 with tax. I would say the pizza seemed a little dry so there could've been way more sauce and the dough is a little heavier for my liking. Overall an average Indian pizza. Check out my videos of their buffet offers. Or you can also order off their menu a l carte.

    Curry & Kabab is our go-to Indian takeout spot and has become a total household staple. We order…read morefrom here regularly, and it never disappoints. Our favorites are the chicken korma, prawn tikka masala, and butter chicken. All three are incredibly flavorful, rich, and perfectly spiced without being overwhelming. Each entrée comes with a side of complimentary rice, which is always appreciated and makes it an easy, complete meal. The portions are generous too. Every container is filled to the brim with sauce, and their garlic naan is perfect for soaking up every last bit. The naan is soft, warm, and has just the right amount of garlic. The food tastes authentic and comforting, with deep, well-balanced flavors that really stand out compared to other places we've tried. You can tell care goes into the preparation. Ordering is also super convenient. We usually order online, but calling in is just as easy, and the process is always smooth. Takeout is consistently ready on time, which makes this an easy choice on busy nights. I've never actually dined in person yet, but I recently heard they offer a lunch buffet, which I'm really excited to try soon. If it's anything like their takeout, I already know it'll be worth the visit. Highly recommend if you're looking for reliable, delicious Indian food with great portions and value. This place is definitely a regular in our rotation.
