Maruti Indian Restaurant, or simply Maruti, is an Indian restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

Description

Maruti is a vegetarian restaurant serving Indian cuisine on Hawthorne Boulevard in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood.[1] The menu has included biryani and tikka masala.[2]

History

Rudra Parmar and chef Falguni Khanna opened Maruti in Portland on November 12, 2016, in a space which previously housed Bombay Cricket Club.[3] Previously, Maruti operated in Mount Shasta, California for approximately two years.[1] According to the Portland Mercury's Isabella Garcia, Maruti offers "Indian staples with an emphasis on sustainability" and uses "organic, non-GMO, and sustainably sourced ingredients and materials throughout the restaurant".[4]

Reception

Maruti has been included in several Eater Portland lists, including Michelle DeVona's 2018 overview of recommended eateries in the Hawthorne District,[5] Waz Wu's 2021 overview of "Where to Find Standout Vegan Curries in Portland",[6] and Ron Scott's 2021 list of "Where to Find Exceptional Indian Food in Portland".[7] Additionally, Jenni Moore recommended the Baingan Bharta in a 2020 list of "13 Standout Vegetarian Meals in Portland",[8] and Wu included the restaurant in a 2023 list of "Portland’s Primo Special Occasion Restaurants for Vegans and Vegetarians".[9]

In 2017, Willamette Week's Matthew Korfhage included Maruti in a list of "The Best Restaurants on Hawthorne and Belmont in Southeast Portland".[10] The newspaper also said in 2019, "for vegans and vegetarians, this place is like a gift from Vishnu".[11]
