Curry Up Now receives investment funding

Curry Up Now has received investment funding from growth restaurant investor Kitchen Fund.

The investment follows Curry Up Now’s acquisition of Tava Kitchen this past summer. The Indian fast-casual concept has food trucks and Mortar & Pestle bars as well as brick-and-mortar locations throughout the Bay Area.

“We’re excited to have the support of Kitchen Fund, an investor with a wealth of experience that will allow us to strategically grow Curry Up Now,” says Curry Up Now’s CEO Akash Kapoor in a statement.

The terms of the investment were not disclosed.
