Yesterday's Curry Up Now Debut in S.F.? Merely a Soft Opening

John Birdsall

Beginning April 19, expect Curry Up Now to make daily S.F. appearances.

​Wednesday's FiDi christening of Curry Up Now's San Francisco Indian taco truck was intentionally on the DL, meant primarily for the truck's Facebook fans. Owner Akash Kapoor said he's still not totally ready for the city (he wants to whittle wait times down to the 10-minute mark, and get the online preorder-and-pickup system operational). When the S.F. truck becomes fully primed ― the week of April 19, say ― Kapoor says he hopes to sell five days a week, alternating between yesterday's Bush and Sansome location and at 10 Washington (at the Embarcadero), just north of Justin Herman Plaza. After that, the goal is to open every day in the city, including evening hours somewhere near Valencia and 19th in the Mission, and SOMA locations Kapoor is still scouting. "It's a little tricky," he said. "You have to be so many feet away from a restaurant that serves the same kind of food."

The truck will open for business again tomorrow in the city, at either the Bush or Washington locations (check Twitter for updates). Next week, expect Curry Up Now in S.F. Mon., Weds., and Fri., alternating between the two spots.
