Curry Up Now is opening its first Utah restaurant Feb. 28, at 1076 Fort Union Blvd. in Midvale, marking the brand's 11th location.

It has more than 40 additional franchised units in varying stages of development across the United States, including another location opening in downtown Salt Lake City later this year. That location will feature the brand's craft cocktail bar, Mortar & Pestle, Founder Akash Kapoor, said in a press release.

"Our Utah expansion is the next step in our plan for nationwide expansion via our Tikka Masala Burritos, Sexy Fries, Naughty Naan, and our other innovative Indian eats," he said. "The greater Salt Lake City area is growing rapidly, and we're excited to have Curry Up Now be part of this market as it continues to develop and the population here expands."

Franchisee Blake Hannon said the Fort Union location is centrally located in the heart of Salt Lake Valley and has a great mixture of offices and families nearby.

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 VP of Operations, Amir Hosseini.
