Happy Birthday To 'Curry Up Now' Means Free Burrito For You

IRVINE, CA — To mark its 11th anniversary, the Indian chain that began with a single food truck in the SF Bay Area, Curry Up Now, is celebrating with a weekend BOGO deal in Orange County.

Patrons can buy one burrito and get one free on Saturday and Sunday, when ordered via the restaurant's loyalty program on its app or website.

In Irvine, Curry Up Now is at the Spectrum Center. Saturday hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Curry Up Now, once featured on TV's "Ugly Delicious," was launched in 2009 by husband and wife Akash and Rana Kapoor, and now boasts restaurants throughout California, Georgia and Utah. The Orange County shop, which opened in January, was the company's first foray into Southern California.

On a mission to serve Indian food with a unique spin, the eatery is known for such zinger dishes as Deconstructed Samosas, Sexy Fries and Naughty Naan, plus tacos, bowls, traditional dishes and street-food snacks.

Its signature Tikka Masala Burrito takes authentic Indian tikka masala, chana garbanzo masala, fenugreek-scented rice, onions and a protein choice and rolls all in a large flour tortilla for a hand-held feast.

Other burritos on the menu include: the "Punjabi By Nature Burrito," with Saag paneer and tikka masala with rice and chana garbanzo masala; "Hella Vegan Burrito" with samosa, chutneys, rice and chana garbanzo masala; and a lamb version featuring lamb, potatoes, rice and chana garbanzo masala.

This weekend's BOGO deal is available only via Curry Up Now’s loyalty program on its app or website. But customers can sign up and score the BOGO Birthday Burrito on the same day, management.
