The charity serves free dinner to mostly impoverished persons on Tuesday afternoons from kiosks that simultaneously operate in San Francisco and Kathmandu.[1] Curry Without Worry also encourages "successful people" to eat at its kiosks as a way to emphasize similarities between persons of different economic strata.[2] Meals are vegan and typically include rice, kwati, curried vegetables, spicy achar, timur chutney and flatbread.[3][4]
