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]
