Kathakali is a great option for vegan-friendly Indian food with plenty of variety. There are a lot of dishes that include plant-based protein, so it’s easy to put together a filling meal without feeling limited. The menu is also fairly straightforward, and the staff are knowledgeable about vegan options, which makes ordering simple. My favorite dishes are the kadala curry and the kale onion cashew pakora. The pakora in particular is a standout if you want something crispy and a little different. The food comes out quickly as well. Parking can be a bit tight since the lot is small, but spots tend to open up fairly quickly. It’s a great spot with flavorful vegan options.
