The website says the restaurant is open until 8 pm and I even called at 5:25 pm to verify the closing time. At 7:30 pm, their door was locked. It was a wasted trip.

I always enjoy the delicious food at Appu's! This was my first time trying the Desi Quesarita which was *stuffed* with flavorful ingredients. Loved the dipping sauce and the black beans were nice for a bit of protein. The Lemongrass chai is a must try!
