"From mushroom biryani to creamy tikka masala, this vegetarian Indian restaurant on Hawthorne offers plenty for vegans to choose from. The curries include classics like chana masala and aloo bell pepper, but the standout is the baingan bharta, where smoky grilled eggplant offers intense depth of flavor. The curries come with basmati rice, but the move here is to order a side of buttery vegan naan. Maruti is open for takeout and delivery." - Waz Wu
