The mixed Tandoori plate is a must, along with the Murgh Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala etc. Great location. Friendly service, always. One thing I will mention is that the food takes long to come out at times, especially if you order tandoori, so be prepared to wait - but I guarantee you it's beyond worth it... Wishing them many more years of success - they deserve it.

I came in this past Saturday (in the rain and recovering from surgery) because I just needed to be at my favorite restaurant. The moment we walked in, they greeted us warmly and still remembered us, even though we hadn't been in for about three years. That kind of care means everything. The food is unmatched. The lamb is incredible. The potato appetizer with the meat sauce is our all-time favorite. The shrimp on the combination skewers are huge and full of flavor. The warm bread and perfectly cooked rice make every meal feel comforting and special. The service is amazing, the family who owns it is so kind, and the whole place has a welcoming, homey vibe. There is no Afghan food around here that compares. This will always be our favorite spot for special occasions. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out.

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.

When we checked in at the restaurant, we did not have to wait to be seated. Here's what we got: - chicken momo chili dumplings( share) - palak paneer (his) - chicken curry (mine) - garlic naan (share) The dumplings came out first. They tasted good, but after a few bites they were pretty salty and too spicy... I also felt that the dumpling skin was too thick. The naan and main dishes came out shortly thereafter. My husband said that the palak paneer was good. My chicken curry was good also. The chicken itself was tender and the curry was only mild spicy. The naan was average. I would definitely go back, but I probably wouldn't get those chili dumplings again since they were too spicy for my taste.

We ordered double servings of every vegan main dish, and the non-vegans among us ordered a few additional dishes. Everything I tried was excellent, and service was also efficient.
