Curry Up Now, New Fast-Casual Indian Spot, Officially Open in Hoboken

If you’ve been craving Indian food, Curry Up Now is the newest solution to your cravings, as the Indian fast-casual eatery chain is officially open in the Mile Square. Formerly the home of Wok to Walk, Curry Up Now has moved into the previously vacant space at 91 Washington Street where it is now serving Thali platters, ghee makini bowls, burritos, and more. Read on to learn all about Curry Up Now in Hoboken — which is open as of Thursday, January 23, 2020. 

About Curry Up Now 

Curry Up Now was established back in 2009 by Akash Kapoor and his wife Rana. What began as a California food truck, quickly turned into the largest and fastest-growing Indian fast-casual concept in the U.S., with a total of seven brick-and-mortar locations nationwide. This new Mile Square location marks Curry Up Now’s second New Jersey outpost, with a Newark location opening soon following the Hoboken opening.

So, why Hoboken? Don’t forget, Curry Up Now is now a franchise, so this Mile Square restaurant is the second of five NJ locations secured by local franchisees, Pritesh Benjamin and Tejavsi Patel.

Benjamin and Patel are also in charge of the soon-to-be Newark location as well {which is coming to 58 Halsey Street}.

“Hoboken has always been my second home, so I’m very excited to introduce Curry Up Now’s unique and innovative Indian food to the diverse population and customers in this city,” said Benjamin in an official press release. “We secured a prime location in the Historic District that is close to the train station where many people pass through every day. We have full confidence that Curry Up Now will be an exciting, convenient option for commuters and quickly become an integrated part of the community.”

In addition to expansion planned for the state of New Jersey, plans for Curry Up Now locations to sprout up elsewhere in Cali, Georgia, and Utah are already in the works.
