Curry Up Now’s New Jersey franchisee, Pritesh Benjamin, will open at least four more locations in New Jersey, including an upcoming location in Newark in the spring.
“We’re thrilled to be introducing Curry Up Now’s innovative Indian menu to the Northeast region, and more specifically, the people in New Jersey and Hoboken,” said Benjamin. “There has been a lot of buzz about the opening and we have a prime location near the Path station where thousands of hungry travelers pass through each day, so we are excited to make Curry Up Now a part of their regular commute.”
Curry Up Now began as a food truck in 2009, founded by husband and wife duo, Akash and Rana Kapoor, and ably supported by co-founder and Senior VP of Operations, Amir Hosseini. Since day one, Curry Up Now has been on a mission to serve Indian flavors and ingredients in a way that is approachable for the everyday American consumer by utilizing formats that are more recognizable to the mainstream. Their signature dishes include Tikka Masala Burritos, Deconstructed Samosas, Indian-style tacos, Naughty Naan and more, as well as a wide variety of Indian street food snacks and traditional dishes like Thali Platters, Kathi Rolls, and Bhel Puri. Ingredients are clean and sourced from local vendors whenever possible, and the menu is designed to support vegan, gluten-free, and Halal diets in an effort to accommodate all guests, no matter their dietary preferences. In the last ten years, the Kapoors have expanded the Curry Up Now empire to include three food trucks, eleven brick-and-mortar restaurants spanning coast to coast, and a globally-inspired craft cocktail bar concept, Mortar & Pestle, that is housed within select Curry Up Now restaurants.
“The Hoboken restaurant opening is especially exciting for us, as it marks Curry Up Now’s debut on the East Coast ” said Kapoor. “Pritesh has been a great partner for us so far, and we are excited to continue growing with him as we open Hoboken, Newark, and at least three more restaurants across New Jersey.”
