So many choices

The food was amazing. As a vegan, it always feels so good to have more than one option. I will be coming back many times to try all the options.

I had the Daal and a most delicious vegan mango Lassi.

Delicious Indian Food

Love Maruti and the fact that there are many vegan options. Their dishes are full of flavor and the atmosphere is so warm & welcoming. A must-have when coming here is hands-down their vegan tikka masala! #Veganuary

Pros: Food is full of flavor, Warm atmosphere, Friendly staff

Beautiful Location with Amazing Food

The ambiance here was lovely, I definitely would recommend it for special occasions. Although call ahead or reserve a table if possible because we did have to wait to get in. I got the Vegan Tikka Masala with potatoes and soy curls. It was delicious and soooo well spiced, they also had vegan naan which is rare to find! I loved it here and will definitely be going back

Pros: Beautiful location, Amazing Food, Vegan Naan!

Cons: On the pricier side

Jai!!

Absolutely love that they included a dairy free yogurt option and CHEESY NAAN??????? Not just Naan that we can have, BUT CHEESY NAAN?????????? HELL YEAH❣️❣️❣️❣️ The Tikka Masala was bangin, and this was my first time getting Biryani made from scratch and it did not disappoint. Also, their Achar is the good shut cause it has plenty of green Mango 😋 Their pappadam was also super airy which I really enjoyed!

Pros: CHEESY NAAN, Vegan Tikka Masala , Best kind of mixed pickle/ Achar!!!

Cons: Would be dope if they had a vegan raita , The Gulab Jamun is not vegan 😭😭😭

So So Tasty

Atmosphere is cozy, staff is knowledgeable and helpful, and their small menu is top to bottom amazing. It's a place you want to take your parents to when they're in town!

Vegan Indian done right

Maruti is great. We are addicted to the vegan cheezy Naan. Also, the vegan Tiki Masala with all three options is the best Tiki Masala I've ever had.

Pros: Great, well-labeled vegan options, Vegan cheezy Naan is addicting, Their version of vegan Indian food is perfect

Cons: Service was slow, but friendly

So delicious. Lots of vegan options.

The vegan tiki masala is the best. Lots of vegan nan, some with vegan cheese. Online menu is a little confusing bc it says things with paneer are vegan but obviously not.. lots of vegan stuff though.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, About the same price as everywhere, Not completely vegan- but so vegetarian so meat

Cons: Always very busy, Could accidentally order non vegan due to menu, It’s too easy to overeat

Healthy Indian food

Vegan items are clearly marked. It was pretty crowded when we went in just before 8, and they said it wasn't likely a table for 4 would open up before closing time so we took everything to go.

The menu consists of mostly just naan and some curries. We had the eggplant and saag Aloo and both tasted nice, neither was dripping with oil or had an excess of spices overpowering the vegetable's flavours. The pakora tasted more like a masala vada and was fine.

Small Chickpeas, Big Flavor

I ordered the chana masala, rice, and garlic naan. The chana masala is tasty, but slightly spicy for my low tolerance. The garlic naan just tasted like plain naan to me. Definitely enough food for two meals.

Pros: clearly-marked vegan options, large portions

Not sure what to say

Was super happy to see an Indian restaurant with marked vegan items, but was not thrilled after eating. Apparently the people who are in the kitchen are Indians, but the Aloo Bell-pepper that we ordered was very disappointing. The Garlic Naan was great. The vegetable Biriyani was average as well. Overall, I was expecting the typical Indian restaurant taste, but it was lacking, but happy to see so many vegan options clearly marked as well. Will I visit again? Maybe - after trying out many many other options available in Portland!

PS. Oh, and we tried the vegan Mango lassi too, was good - but would have liked it better if it was cold.

Awesome Indian food

Only ate here 2 or 3 times before I moved away, but the food was very good. Highly recommend the Onion-Potato Pakora! Won't be disappointed. Staff and owners are very friendly.

Terrific

We have been to Maruti several times and each time it has been heavenly! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere, warm.

Everything is vegan or veggie and you cannot go wrong with any of the dishes. Highly recommended.

Pros: Delicious with great vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: Reservations needed for 6 or more, No reservations for less than 5, Small parking lot or street parking

Ayurvedic at it's best!

I am the host of Portland Ayurvedic Meetup and a student of Ayurvedic living. We host an annual dinner here and it is the best option I have found in Portland for Vegan and Ayurvedic food. It is fresh and I have always leave feeling healthy and happy. They also have Gluten Free Options! I highly recommend Maruti.

Pros: authentic, tasty, good value

Cons: parking

Most Amazing Indian Food

This is the best Indian food I've ever had! The food is amazing, the restaurant is cute, and the staff are wonderful. The owners are so sweet, and very clearly care about their food and customers. The vegan tikka masala is a must, as well as the vegan mango lassi. Their food may seem spendy, but matches the average Portland restaurant price, and many of their ingredients are organic/local.

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly staff, Ayurveda

One of the best restaurants in Portland hands down

This has quickly become a favorite place in town. The vegan Indian options in PDX can be frustrating and bland but this place is changing all of that! The cheesy vegan Naan is so good I could just eat that forever. Add the mushroom biryani and a curry and you have a mouth-gasm in the making

Unbelievably Delicious!

What a great place--the decor, the vibe, the service, the food--spot on! One of the owners was behind the bar welcoming people as they came in. She was warm and friendly. I would have given this restaurant 5 stars if the entire menu was vegan. I will definitely go back if I have the opportunity.

Pros: Excellent food, Excellent service, Nice vibe

Cons: Non-vegan menu items

Exceeded my expectations

Finally an Indian restaurant that goes the extra mile to cater to vegans, and the food is absolutely delicious to boot! I don't have to ask if they cook with ghee or vegetable oil, if there's cream or yogurt in a dish, if they put butter on flatbreads for serving, etc because everything is well-labeled on the menu. Vegan tikka masala? Vegan garlic naan? Yaaaaass! The only thing I thought could be improved was the baingan bharta. As tasty as it was, it lacked that charred, smoky flavor that defines this dish.

Service was efficient and friendly. Can't wait to return!

Pros: excellent food, fast service, vegan options

Delicious.

I ordered the Vegetable Biriyani with mango chutney and a side of Vegan butter Naan. Having lived in SE India I have a keen sense for authentic dishes. And... Honestly, this was the best tasting meal I’ve ever had. Ever. Anywhere. This was the first time food has ever threatened to bring a tear of joy to my eye.

Thank you! Namaste.
