One-of-a-kind street food concept to open woman-owned and operated storefront in May
Dallas, TX (RestaurantNews.com) Curry Up Now, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing Indian fast casual concept known for its traditional and playful fare with creative twists, is expanding its DFW presence with its arrival in Flower Mound next month.
Located at 2717 Cross Timbers Road, Suite 400, the newest Curry Up Now will be the brand’s third Texas location and second in the DFW area. The restaurant will be owned and operated by a woman-led franchise team, with Samy Kilaru and Kiki Khajuria at the helm. This opening marks the duo’s first Curry Up Now location, bringing the brand’s vibrant Indian offerings to the growing Dallas suburb as part of its Lone Star State expansion.
“We’ve loved this brand for a long time and have been waiting for the right opportunity to bring it to our community,” said Samy. “The food speaks for itself — it’s bold, unexpected and fun — but what really drew us in was the energy. Curry Up Now creates an experience that feels celebratory from the moment you walk in.”
Curry Up Now in Flower Mound will serve up the brand’s renowned flavor-forward fare, including craveable favorites like Tikka Masala Burritos, Deconstructed Samosas, Indian Street Foods, Naughty Naan and Sexy Fries. The location will also feature a weekend brunch and a Flower Mound-exclusive item with a Indo-Texan barbecue flair in a nod to local tastes.
“Curry Up Now prides itself on offering a fresh, friendly take on traditional Indian culinary creations,” said Kiki. “Our focus is on creating a space where guests can explore our unique cuisine, whether for the first time or the hundredth. We’re looking forward to growing with the brand and immersing ourselves in this community while sharing the food we — and so many other North Texas residents — grew up loving.”
Founded by husband-and-wife team Akash and Rana Kapoor in 2009, Curry Up Now started as a food truck in the Bay Area and experienced an increased demand for its fresh, bold ingredients and menu items. With options that include burritos, bowls, Indian street food, thali platters and more, Corporate Executive Chef Bikram Das and Curry Up Now’s culinary team have crafted a one-of-a-kind menu that presents authentic Indian cuisine in a friendly, recognizable format. The menu also caters to halal, keto, paleo, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free diets, using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
“We’re excited to bring Curry Up Now to Flower Mound,” said Akash Kapoor, founder and CEO of Curry Up Now. “This community has great energy and a strong appreciation for food with character — the perfect match for what we do. We can’t wait to welcome guests in and show them what Indian food can be when it’s reimagined with heart, hustle and a little bit of rebellion.”
The new store is part of a growing footprint for the brand, with 20 locations systemwide and plans for continued growth throughout Texas. Curry Up Now is actively building out its team in preparation for its grand opening. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply here.
