I’m so glad they opened a second location with longer hours & open on weekends. This has been a much needed vegan restaurant in our neighborhood.Fresh, flavorful & delicious options. Welcoming warm atmosphere !

My friend and I had just finished a hot yoga sesh in the area and wanted something healthy to eat. Lucky me, she found Appu's! We were greeted by Chef VR himself! He made us feel so welcomed and gave us wonderful recommendations since it was our first time. We were not disappointed as the food was sooooo bomb! The vegan mango lassi is his own recipe and I was mind blown how good it was especially being vegan and having no sugar added (besides the fruit). The burritos were ‍ ??‍?? and filled with so much flavor. I can't wait to come back and try all the other dishes! ?

This was my first visit to this cafe and I had a truly enjoyable experience. The owner was pleasant and kind and was very helpful in explaining the dishes and menu. I decided to dine in since the atmosphere was quiet & relaxing. The food was delicious, flavorful, and plentiful...I enjoyed a vegan Mango Lassi and spicy Paneer Tikka Masala with rice & bread. What a Kick with all the delicious and "hot" spices!!! I look forward to future visits since I live close by in the neighborhood.

Really friendly staff, who explain their original food. I can best describe it as light southern Indian with a dash of Mexican. I’m hooked on it and walk over at least a week.Parking: Parking for commercial lots . I usually walk.

Every time I go I get the Paneer Tikka Tacos since they're so great! I finally branched out yesterday and tried the Saag Paneer Tacos, which I liked almost as much. I recommend adding the avocado- it's quite tasty.

The food and service at the new location are just as wonderful as the original location. I look forward to more of my favorite dishes coming over. For now, I am enjoying trying new dishes and the lunch specials are a great deal. The team members are extremely friendly/inviting, and I always enjoy their recommendations.

I love the healthy Indian flair in a taco! Spicy Cali style. Great food with no guilt. Not cheap but the rewards crowns program helps. Try the mix and match tacos to start. Having a stressful day? The Zen of this place will help with that! Great food and great people.
