Serves meat, vegan options available. Indian food, has vegetarian menu as well vegan specific menu. Find 10 or so vegan choices; has vegan naan and rice.
North Van isn't great for vegan options, but Pawan's stands out with a great, entirely separate vegan menu! They have multiple different tasty curries, rice dishes, naan breads, appetisers and sides all available entirely vegan. The portions are large.
They offer 10% off for pickup, but are also available on various delivery apps. It would be good if they updated the menu, since more things are actually vegan than the menu implies.
It's a shame they don't have any tofu or fake-meat dishes (everything is purely legumes or cauliflower/potato), which might be non-traditional but tofu does such a good job of absorbing flavour in curries.
Quick prep time. Love that each dish comes with a side (I choose naan). They couldn't make my butter chicken without cream, but the lamb korma with coconut cream was delicious! And the aloo palak was a fabulous vegan sub for my pre-vegan fave palak paneer! Thank you for all the vegan/dairy free options!
Decent restaurant serving better than average North Indian food — with a vegan menu and lots of options (and they’ll modify some non-vegan dishes if you ask). They told me 30% of their clientele is vegan and I certainly felt at home. I’d recommend the baingan (aubergine/eggplant) bharta. Ambience nothing special but otherwise a great choice for vegan food.
Extremely underrated spot with full vegan menu - Edit
Has full vegan menu with many great options. Vegetable Pakoras are also vegan, but listed on the vegetarian appetizer menu. Amazing food, the Allo Gobi and Chana Masala are my go to. Favourite Indian restaurant in all of Vancouver hands down and I hope more people who eat plant based can check it out.
Great food with a dedicated vegan menu. Family owned and run. Super friendly and courteous staff. I like to order a bunch of dishes and live on it for a week!

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Large portion sizes, Tasty, authentic curries
Cons: No tofu / tempeh / fake meat, Vegan menu doesn't list everything vegan
