Curry Up Now has opened the doors at its second location in the greater Atlanta area. The restaurant — at 915 Memorial Dr., SE Suite 210 in the Madison Yards retail-living center — will celebrate its grand opening Thursday and will be followed by the October opening of a store at 24 S. Main St, in Alpharetta, Georgia. With the Madison Yards opening, Curry Up Now operates 13 restaurants across the country and has more than 40 restaurants in varying stages of development in nearly every major region in the U.S.
"The Curry Up Now family has doubled in size this year alone, and we couldn't be happier to see the success of our brand in markets all across the nation," founder and CEO Akash Kapoor said in a company press release. "As we welcome our Madison Yards location, and soon the Alpharetta location, we look forward to further growing Curry Up Now within the Atlanta community and continuing to bring our Indian comfort food to the rest of the South."
Franchisee Hemant Suri said he was happy to open his second and third locations after the success of his first location (Decatur, Georgia) which recently celebrated its one-year milestone.
"We are confident that our expansion into the city's heart will continue to strengthen Curry Up Now's presence in the area, " he said. "We look forward to serving our unique and playful Indian eats to even more local Atlanta residents."
Curry Up Now began as a food truck in 2009, founded by husband and wife duo, Akash and Rana Kapoor, and supported by co-founder and senior vice president of operations, Amir Hosseini. It has three food trucks, 13 brick-and-mortar restaurants spanning coast to coast and a craft cocktail bar concept, Mortar & Pestle, housed within select Curry Up Now restaurants.
