Looking for healthy, tasty, amazing Indian food? This is the #1 hot spot! The owner and protège have made this location a happy, vibrant, healthy, and extraordinarily treasured family favorite... special healing food for sure! Every dish is delicious!!! Dont forget to try their caffeine-free lemongrass chai tea (no sugar added)... nothing like it anywhere else! Bon appétit!

We recently had the opportunity to try the new location of Appus Cafe in Long Beach. I was very impressed with the food, the service, and the atmosphere.We started our meal with a vegan mango lassi. It was creamy and refreshing, and the perfect way to start a meal. We had the Maharaja burrito with the Cali 911 sauce as well as the paneer Tikka masala. The burrito was a good size and filled with flavorful ingredients, including turmeric rice, mushrooms, and paneer. The Cali 911 sauce added a bit of heat to the burrito, but it wasnt too spicy. The paneer Tikka masala was creamy and flavorful, and the paneer was a nice change from the usual chicken you would get in a non-vegetarian restaurant. This had a nice kick to it as well.The service at Appus Cafe was excellent. Chef VR was friendly and attentive, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. The atmosphere at Appus Cafe is casual and relaxed. Its a great place to go for a casual meal with friends or family.Overall, I had a great experience at the new location of Appus Cafe. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and healthy meal.Here are some additional details about the dishes you mentioned:Vegan mango lassi: This is a refreshing and creamy drink made with mango, coconut cream, and spices. Its a great way to start your meal or enjoy as a snack.Maharaja burrito: This burrito is filled with rice, mushrooms, paneer, avocado, and Cali 911 sauce. The Cali 911 sauce is a spicy sauce made with cayenne pepper, garlic, and other spices.Paneer Tikka masala: This dish is made with paneer (a type of Indian cheese), tomato sauce, and spices. Its a creamy and flavorful dish thats goes perfectly with the turmeric rice.

Unexpectedly fantastic! You have to try it!I only went here because my boyfriend wanted Dominoes and I think dominoes is icky. I read the reviews and decided to try it and was so so pleasantly surprised. 15/10 delicious and some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! I will be coming back for sure. :)

I have been to Appu’s several times and tried different foods each time. The flatbread is amazing. The food is cooked to order and is served fresh and warm/hot. Attendants are pleasant and helpful.

My first time, but Ill be back to try more things! Paneer Tacos were delicious! Also, that was the best cinnamon crispy Ive ever had. I ate it on the way home and almost went back for another one. Looking forward to returning soon and bringing my family.

Trading in his scalpel for a chef knife VR continues to heal now through food. A mantra of food is medicine and heals from within. The turmeric and herbs will dance across your taste buds. I enjoyed the paneer tikka masala and mushroom soup. The proportions are good and quality and freshness is spot on. VR proves than vegan can be flavorful and satisfying.

As always my food was scrumptious! Love having the new location and longer hours of operation, but the original spot is still my favorite as I can get the house black bean and corn chip salad there as well as the egg and potato burrito. Wish they served them at the new spot also. That is my only complaint. At both spots, Go for the food, But you will leave with new friends. The people are so gracious and considerate. Its like eating at a friends house.

The location is conveniently off of the 405 fwy in a safe area. The employees are very welcoming and loving! And the food and drinks are all yummy 😋 We eat a good amount, but don’t feel heavy when leaving because they cook with clean ingredients helping our health 🤗

I really liked Nelly’s bowl for lunch because it was just the perfect portion to keep me going throughout the day. The combination of the rice, beans and garbanzos was so delicious. My taste buds were really happy with the combination of Indo- Mexican fusion flavors it has. The Mangi Lassi is such a great treat because it’s vegan and I felt less guilty about that. Thank you to all the hands who prepared my meal, I felt the love and it nurtured my soul.

My new favorite place when I dont want to cook. Delicious vegan food! I have had the soups, the Tacos, the Mango Lassi- everything so far has been amazing. And everyone who works there is so nice. Highly recommend!

Excellent vegetarian restaurant with Indian food sometimes mixed with Mexican flavors. Half of the menu is vegan. Informal atmosphere and kind service. Meals go at around $10-15 and with some add-ons like naan it can go up to $20 for a meal without drinks.

Great tasting food! A little slow getting food out(granted we were there at an odd time, and they had to make some of the soup base for the burrito. Had the maharaja burrito, next time I may try it spicy.Update: weve been back a couple times and really enjoy the food. The maharaja spicy Cali (spicy sauce and avocado) is my jam.I recommend calling in. It takes a bit for the order to come out. They are super friendly and helpful.They are a no cash establishment, not even cash tips.

Discovered this gem of a cafe last week and Ive already been there twice. The mushroom soup and flat bread are outstanding. A little pricey (and isnt everything these days?), but worth it. Ive been taking turmeric for years to help reduce inflammation caused by arthritis. Now I can add more turmeric to my diet. This food will heal you.

I was able to share the deliciousness of Appus Cafe with my girls this past Sunday. Ive tried just about everything on the menu and can honestly say its all yummy.Vegan Mushroom Masala, a Maharaja bowl with Avocado added, a basket of Roti, the taco trio of the 3 versions (vegan mushroom, saag saneer, Paneer) and Vegan Mango Lassi & Lemongrass Chai to drink.I cant say enough about the food. Delicate soulful flavors and delicious turmeric rice. The salad on the tacos was yummy and flavorful.Try your favorite and then go back and try something new, you cant go wrong.The service is cordial and quick enough; always welcoming and willing to help with dietary restrictions and suggestions when you just cant make up your mind.Ambiance is ok, the space is utilitarian but has a nice vibe and even just after opening during our visit was quickly filled with hungry happy diners.One thing I have noticed after a couple of visits, you are asked whats good from new comers. What a pleasure it is to help direct them to the appropriate dish...something that doesnt happen in most spots.I look forward to the next visit - see ya soon .

Appu’s cafe has the most delicious vegan mushroom tacos, and the Mango Lassi drink is yummy as well. Even if you’re not a vegan, or vegetarian, the food and service is worth a visit!

Cant wait for this location to open! In the past I only eaten just a few time Indian food and I really like it and just by looking at the pictures from the other location I really want to try. Next time Ill go there Ill try the Indian Mexican fusion burrito it looks good on picture so I need to do it in person.
