Despite its fast-casual setup, this is one of my favourite places to order Indian food. The chicken biryani is delicious with fragrant basmati rice and juicy chicken chunks. I also like the bite-sized and large versions of the crunchy samosas. I'm a huge fan of street food, and Curry Up Now does it best.

I was so excited to try this place, and I was quite disappointed in it. Be aware that when you make your order, they don't prepare your whole order all at once (like most quick serve resturants do) and serve it to you all at once. So if you are the type who likes to sit around and wait until everybody gets their food to start eating, you'll be eating very ice cold food.We had four people in our group, and it took 15+ minutes between each person to get our meals, and the fourth person never got their meal. We waited 35 minutes, and I finally went up front and asked about it, and they told us they would get it right away. We waited 15 more minutes, and then my husband went up. The good thing is they offered to refund us the burrito price for my daughters order.Also, they charged us an employee mandate charge of almost $4. I have no clue what that was for at all. And no one asked us if they could charge us that. My husband also asked about that and demanded a refund, which they did.Now, as far as the food goes, it is good. I & my daughters boyfriend had Talli plate which was a bit expensive for quick serve Indian street food, $19, my husband has the fried Chicken sandwich $13 which obviouslyhad been sitting becauae it was cold, and when my daughter finally got her burrito 1 hour& 20 minutes later from our ordertime, it was $15 and drinks are $4.50. Our entire bill for 4 of us with drinks, tax, and the extra charge was $90. With these types of prices, I think we would have been better off going to a sit-down full service restaurant.Needless to say, I'm not sure that I can convince my husband to try this place again. I am one of those people who always gives a restaurant a second chance because mistakes happen, wrong employees are hired, whatever. But my husband was so upset when we left there, I don't know that we will ever be back.I do think the owners need to rethink the way the kitchen works. Whether you are busy or not busy when a party of two or more people come in together, they should be getting their food together or within a couple minutes of each other. I also think the owners should reconsider their employee mandate charge. If you're going to charge something to your customers, you need to tell them why & no one could tell us what that was for. Just some food for thought

In my opinion, Naan was not really typical oven baked and most likely store bought. The mini Samoosa was also tasted like Trader's Joe's. Daal is not yellow. Not a typical authentic Indian food restaurant.

Awesome music playlist, the Naan pizza was freaking delicious. Mango lassi was also good. It came pre-bottled, so I was skeptical, but it actually tasted better than other restaurants.Seriously, try this place if you like Indian flavors and want to try them in a unique style/dish.

I tried this food back in Dec 2023, my kids loved it. I’m not Indian, I’m not familiar with the food. Came back but forgot what I ordered last time and was expecting the staff would enlighten me. What I got, a bored staff who looked annoyed I was there asking questions while she was taking her time to mingle out with another customer before me who happened to be Indian, until I talked her out about her attitude. She changed hers after my complaint, I appreciated it. But, I have to write this to bring the attention to whoever owns this place that her attitude should never be there on the first place. It felt discriminated, discouraging, and ruined my first good impression about this place.Unless you wanna have exclusively only Indian customers, just put it at the door and I’d happily bring my business elsewhere. I don’t take bad service lightly on a place that runs in hospitality industry, even if their products are good.

Best Indian food. Amazing taste, quality. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy authentic Indian food in orange
We decided to stop in while shopping. They had a unique menu and because we had not tried Chinese Indian food we tried both the fried rice and the noodles. We enjoyed them both - lots of flavor. The rice was spicy and so good. Noodles also had lots of flavor. Definitely more seasoned that typical Chinese food. Place was clean and service good.

Everything good. I found the food too spicy I’m not sure if they got a wrong recipe or it is like that. Inside is organized and clean. The employees are friendly and efficient.
