Curry Up Now, the nation’s largest and fastest-growing Indian fast casual concept, is kicking off its newest Texas location at 2717 Cross Timbers Road in Flower Mound on Saturday, June 7. They’re giving away 1,000 free burritos to opening day attendees! The festivities will ramp up at 10:30 a.m. and run until 2:30 p.m., where guests can enjoy live music from a DJ, branded swag and enter a drawing to win free Curry Up Now for a year.

“We’ve been longtime fans of Curry Up Now and knew Flower Mound was the right place to introduce ourselves,” said Samy Kilaru, co-owner of the Flower Mound location. “This has been a long time coming, and we’re honored to serve a menu that reflects both where we come from and where we are.”

The Flower Mound location of Curry Up Now will offer up the brand’s renowned flavor-forward fare. Dishes include craveable favorites like Tikka Masala Burritos, Tacos, Deconstructed Samosas, Indian Street Foods, Naughty Naan, and Sexy Fries.

“This is a brand that knows how to balance tradition with creativity,” said Kiki Khajuria, co-owner. “The dishes on our menu feel familiar to us, but they’re presented in ways that are fresh and modern. Our goal is to make this a place where anyone can walk in — whether they grew up eating Indian food or have never tried it — and leave feeling like they discovered something new to love.”

Founded in 2009 by Akash and Rana Kapoor as a single food truck in Northern California, Curry Up Now has grown to 20 locations nationwide with more in development. The concept emphasizes convenience, creativity and dietary flexibility, with halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, keto and paleo options available.

Samy and Kiki are strong leaders who care deeply about their craft and the community, and we’re excited to see them lead the way.”
