I returned to Flower Child on a Sunday evening around 6:30 pm. I was kind of surprised how busy it was. After experiencing the food again I can understand why! The staff is so friendly and helpful. Somehow they read my mind and knew I was craving a red sangria! I was interested in the Avocado Caesar salad as well as the avocado hummus and soup of the day a Dukka curry. However I decided to load up on protein instead with the Steak Plate. It comes with two sides. I had the Parmesan broccoli which was cooked to perfection and seasoned just right. I also had the sweet chilli glazed sweet potatoes. Yum! My friend had almost the exact same order but with the kale salad. The decor is adorable and cheerful. The walls are lined with colorful artwork and it's a fun atmosphere. Even though it was busy we didn't have to wait long for our food. Looking forward to going back to try more things soon!

Flower Child is so consistent. Perfect spot for lunch! If you're in a pinch, this is the spot for you. It's always busy when I stop in, and I get my food no more than 10 minutes later. Lately, my go to has been either the steak or salmon plate with broccoli and Mac and cheese (or sweet potatoes). Special moment for the broccoli: it's charred and then topped with Parmesan. 10/10. * parking can get tricky here!

Stopped in here to give it a try as I was in the neighborhood. There was a small line to order when I walked in but it moved quickly. Then I received a table number pick and they brought my meal to me. I ordered the veggie plate and was able to choose three vegetarian sides. I ordered roasted Brussels sprouts, red chile glazed sweet potatoes, and kung pow cauliflower. I really did not care for the glazed sweet potatoes but the other two veggies were good. Cute place with all the artwork on the walls and it was clean. I saw a few other things on the menu that I would not mind trying so I am sure I will stop in again. They were definitely busy and I had to park in the lot behind Culinary Dropout and then walk back over.

Indianapolis is one of the hardest cities to find healthy options in. If you're an Indy native...you know in your heart this is true. This place is quick, easy, and delicious. The price points are decent. The staff are friendly. Add this to your list if you usually stay at home because anything "healthy" you eat while out is bland, or prohibitively expensive.

On my way to a Yelp event in the same plaza, I spotted this healthy restaurant option. I already ate dinner but decided since I was in the area that I would order takeout leftover for lunch. I had never been to a Flower Child so I needed to understand their sauces. They let me try them. I decided on chicken without that accompanied sauce, red chili glazed sweet potato with sesame seeds, and the unique roasted brussel sprouts. I am a sucker for items not typically served. It was a little costly for the portion. Chicken was a little dry, but the guy said they could not provide a sauce I like. A few sides interested me so I might return for it or at least see their rotating menu. One of the added perks of exploring while going to Yelp events in areas not on my radar.

Glow bowl with chicken. It was flavorful but I worry it may have been too salty for me.
Mariam W.

Everything here is too too salty. I've had tinnitus after each of the three times we've eaten here. I've tried ordering different things. All salty. It's a bummer because my kids really like it. Especially the gluten free mac and cheese and the steak and the broccoli. I must give credit for the very tasty gluten free baked goods. That is an accomplishment. Restaurant is clean. Staff friendly. Just wish I could actually eat the food.

We rode our bikes to the No Kings protest here and popped in to grave a bite before hitting the Monon to go back. We absolutely loved this place, from the menu to the furniture and the environment which reminds us of Southern Cal. The food is farm-to-table fresh and so delish. Amy ordered the Mother Earth Bowl and I had the Spring Ingredient Salad with grilled chicken. We also tried the classic hummus first. Enjoyed the sun-dried tomatoes and olives with the natural grain pita wedges. We could use one of these spots in Carmel and Westfield. Do you guys franchise....? Peace out.

Organic veggies and unique entrees, I am SOLD! Cauliflower risotto was just divine, it had the right texture and flavor and I couldn't make out there was no grain. I tried the chopped vegetable salad and just the ginger miso vinaigrette gave such an earthy and delicious texture and flavor. The toasted sesame seeds combined with snap pee radish and cucumber added the right amount of crunchiness and deliciousness! This place is perfect, there were a variety of shrimp, chicken and meat options too. Great find!

Mikey A.

Cute spot with delicious food that leaves you feeling healthy after eating :) we ordered takeout for our long drive and were so glad we stopped at flower child! The corn quinoa and sweet potatoes were my favorite as well as their Arnold palmer and fresh kombucha! Wish we lived closer to this place.

Kung Pow Cauliflower
Lynn N.

Quality food and the flavors really sing. The Mother Earth bowl was very good and filling. I especially like the grilled char of the veggies. Flavors were balanced mixed together. The Kung Pau Cauliflower was also good. It was savory with a bit of sweet flavor, and not spicy. The outdoor seating is covered, making it cool and shady on a warm day. The indoor dining has a nice ambiance too. Employees were friendly.

My salad was so delicious I could have licked the bowl!
Nancy S.

I loved this beautiful restaurant. It's light, airy and whimsical . Great variety of photos and art covering almost every available space. We had 23 people in our group, and they were more than accommodating, moving tables together, helping with our orders and getting us anything we asked of them. It's so fun!

Chicken plate with Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese
Emi M.

I went to Flower Child for lunch. I didn't know what type of food they had, but it simply looked beautiful from outside and it just attracted me. Their menu seems healthy and has a lot of vegetables featured. There were so many things I wanted to try but I ordered the chicken plate. Choosing two sides from many options was hard. I picked Mac and cheese and Brussels sprouts. Food was served quickly. They brought them to our table. It was a simple grilled chicken breast but I really liked it. Brussels sprouts had some delicious sauce on. It was very satisfying and I felt full quickly. I loved their space too. Cute interior with lots of lights. It's my new favorite restaurant in Nora!

Ginger Miso Crunch with salmon
Bruce F.

Flower Child nails the fast-casual experience with a health-forward twist. You order at the counter--after a short wait in line--then find a seat while they bring your food to you. The concept blends wholesome ingredients with a laid-back, modern vibe, offering vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options! I ordered the Ginger Miso Crunch salad: crisp carrot zoodles, red pepper, and cabbage tossed in a tangy Asian dressing with just the right kick. Adding salmon brought a rich, savory balance that made the dish feel complete. Clean flavors, friendly service, and a feel-good atmosphere make this a reliable spot for a nourishing meal that doesn't skimp on taste. I look forward to a return visit.

The inside was actually bigger than I was expecting. There was a beautiful bar located on one side of the house. Overall, decor was elegant but not pretentious. You could come in casual attire and not feel out of place. Our waiter was very personable and had a great sense of humor. He took time to explain the menu and was extremely helpful when it came to helping us decide on what to get. Everything sounded fantastic especially the starters. I didn't get a cocktail but I did get a lovely cup of hot peach tea that was very delightful. My friend's cocktail was beautiful. We did get a sample of one of the sparkling wines which was very nice. Mt friends ordered several items and I tried most of them. The carrots were my favorite. I ordered the tots and caviar as my main meal. This is definitely the upscale, adult version of tots. The potatoes were very crispy and I was shocked by the amount of caviar for the price. All the food was beautifully presented. And everything came out hot. Meaning temperature hot. You could tell everything was cooked fresh. Overall, it was a great culinary experience.

My husband and I ate here for the first time today and we are SO UPSET! Not at the restaurant, meal…read moreor service but at ourselves for waiting so lonnnnggggg to try this delicious gem! We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered the pimento dip and crab cake to start. The dip was not quite as good as we expected based on prior reviews. It was good not great. We enjoyed the crab cakes more which were full of crab. The entrees were the stars though - I had the peach glazed salmon which was cooked perfectly and the glaze was super flavorful. The collard greens were tender and had a tasty smoke flavor. A couple folks had short rib entrees and one had one of the shrimp and grits options. The servings were very hearty especially for the prices. All in our party agreed they would definitely return and happily order the same dish although there are many items on the menu we all want to try. We had seats inside and it was fresh and clean and not too loud despite being busy. Great place!

We sat at a high top table in the bar. Our server, Bailey (the bartender), was friendly and super attentive. She made recommendations and kept glasses filled. The craft beer selection is excellent with about 16 local options on tap. My husband had a Fall City "Hipster Repellent". The name alone is interesting, but he loved his beer. I had the Espresso Martini which came with roasted coffee beans floating on top. My cocktail went down easy. I also had a glass of the Berringer Chardonnay. The pour is generous. We shared a plate of Loaded Tots, which was wonderful. The tots are made from scratch in-house and covered with roasted bits of pork belly, cheese, a sauce and green onions. We LOVED the tots, which came out super hot. We also shared a plate of the Loaded Hummus. The plate is beautiful and colorful. The hummus is fresh made and loaded with bits of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and is delicious on a balsamic reduction. The hummus is served with a generous portion of fresh in-house made focaccia bread which tasted amazing. The Loaded Hummus is a winner in my book. Bailey our server was fabulous. She worked the entire bar and was an ambassador of the chef and menu. I wish we had time to stay for dinner because the food is outstanding. Each dish that we saw pass by looked delicious and artistic. I highly recommend. We will be returning for dinner soon. Easy 5 stars! We found street parking, but parking was limited.

We are grateful at least that they haven't eliminated the pretzels, which are also unique from any other (although we miss the cheese ball it used to be served with). Will return the 5th star when they release my menu items that have been taken hostage.

The Brussels sprouts are an absolute triumph: perfectly blistered with a caramelized exterior and tender interior, dressed in a harmonious balance of bright acidity and savory depth. Little crunchy bits and a subtle smoky char add texture, while a finishing sprinkle (and a hint of something sweet-salty) elevates them from simple side to a show-stealer. The Korean salmon is equally impressive. The fish arrives flaky and moist with a richly glazed crust that carries sweet, spicy, and umami notes in perfect proportion. Layers of flavor -- gochujang-forward heat, sesame brightness, and a touch of citrus -- play against the salmon's natural richness without overpowering it. It's plated thoughtfully, with complementary sides that keep each bite balanced. If you're at Big Lug Canteen, don't pass up those two dishes -- they demonstrate skilled technique, bold yet nuanced seasoning, and a real sense of care in the kitchen. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, solid value. Highly recommended.

Tlaolli stood out for its vegan offerings. Plenty of vegan taco options, birria (an absolute rarity to see vegan birria), and torta. They offer soy chorizo, jackfruit, and king oyster mushrooms as protein options. The exterior is colorful, and inside there are seating options. We had gotten our food to go, so I cannot comment too much on the service. Had placed our order online, and the food was ready within the estimated time in the order.
