I'm a vegetarian visiting my parents from out of state and was expecting the usual sub-par Indianapolis lunch and dinner options... but then we gave this place a try and wow!! A huge variety of vegetarian options (plus meat add ons, for the meat eaters), and everything we tried was delicious. The forbidden rice bowl was a particular favorite. Prices are reasonable too. We went back three times! I would highly recommend to any vegetarian or anyone who likes tasty veggies. Pro tip: get the chocolate chip cookie on your way out. One of the best I've ever had! read more

This place has been on my list to try since they opened and I finally had the opportunity to stop in for lunch. I honestly didn't know what to expect other than I knew it was healthy food options. Parking is tough. I had to park a bit away during lunch time because their little section is pretty small and it was packed, so I parked over by Whole Foods and walked over. Not a big deal just something to be aware of, and if you are lucky enough to find a spot near them, it's tight getting in and out so just a side note. Upon walking in it was a pretty long line but again it was lunch time (around noon), so no issues. You order at and then get a number and find a place to sit. They have options to sit inside and out. We decided to sit outside since it was a nice day. The food came pretty quickly which was nice since it was lunch time. I ordered a kale salad which was amazing. My lunch partner had a wrap and she said it was really good. You can tell they are using really top notch ingredients which is good. Pricing is pretty typical for these type of places. read more

I've been here a few times with different groups of friends. We all liked the bright and attractive dining area, however it was very noisy inside so each time we chose to sit on the patio. I've ordered and sampled several different menu items. I really liked the green chili queso, the roasted broccoli, smashed potatoes, and the other roasted vegetables. On the last visit my friend ordered the salmon entrée. It was a very, very, small piece of salmon. I don't know if that is the usual size or not but definitely not what we expected for the price. The only thing I have tried here that I didn't care for was the Mother Earth Bowl. When I ordered it the employee mentioned that it was their most popular item, but I thought the greens were very bitter and the dressing didn't complement the vegetables. But apparently everyone else loves it. The parking lot was congested each time I have been here. Traffic flow is difficult so next time I will park farther away and walk rather than navigate the small lot in front of the restaurant. read more

It is an order at the counter and take to your table restaurant. I received a gift card that I had never used, so tonight is the night! Parking was easy--they have lot. However the handicapped parking spots were at the opposite end of the strip mall. I didn't need it, but if someone does-it may be a problem. They have 5 curbside pick-up spots. (Turn 2 or 3 into handicap parking--suggestion.) There were issues finding a working "manager card" that is needed to process a gift card. Third time was the charm! Not quite. The card had expired months ago. (Sad face, here, only because the gift card doesn't show an expiration date.) I had invested several minutes in the gift card logistics and the line behind me was growing, so I paid for the meal. My wrap, the 1924, was delicious! It was a limited-time, seasonal item. The chicken was flavorful and the greens tasted fresh and they were lightly dressed in an oil & vinaigrette. The self-serve rose-petal lemonade was good too. I sat on the patio with outdoor ceiling fans keeping the humid summer air circulating. It was pleasant. Overall, I'm not sure I'm their target customer based on the menu. I may try Flower Child again though. read more

Comfortable, light and airy, with so many delicious vegan choices (as well as vegetarian and healthy omnivore) that I had a hard time deciding! They often have kombucha on tap, although they were out when I went, and they stock healthy seltzers, sodas, and other drinks in cans. I decided on the Glow Bowl, with truly delicious sweet potato noodles, and marinated herbed tofu on top. It was, hands down, the best vegan meal I've had at a restaurant. His Goatness got the coconut curry, with salmon added; he gave me a bit of the curry, and it was as good as the version I make at home (one of our favorite recipes). Service was simple: you order at the counter, help yourself to water (from a big jar that has cut fresh citrus slices in it), and the food is brought to your table. You can bus your own table, or let the occasional passing server clear dishes as they offer. Prices were exorbitant, for the kind of experience offered. Be prepared. And here is where I found a big problem: they tout themselves as "healthy food for a happy world"...BUT THEY DO NOT RECYCLE. They don't offer information on where the food comes from. (Is it local? Fresh? Organic? Or is it more Sysco produce shipped from thousands of miles away in gas-guzzling refrigerator trucks, from the same industrial farms that brought us the Cyclospora outbreak?) So. Basically: their corporate image is purely advertising -- they don't put their money where their mouths are. Disappointing. So! Delicious food, questionable ethics. Guess I'll still be cooking my meals at home. Sigh. Maybe I can figure out the recipe for the glow bowl. read more

I was invited here last minute with some friends so I had zero expectations but I was very surprised at how much I loved it! I appreciate a fast-casual spot with creative, fresh, delicious food options that don't leave me walking away feeling guilty. I got the chicken entrée with roasted broccoli and cooked carrots. It was really tasty! I also had a taste of the steak entrée with mashed potatoes that was also really delicious. Their beverage options are limited to unique lemonades and canned beverages (tap water is also available). The service was also nice and the food did not take long to come out. I will be visiting again! read more

6.24.24 came during lunchtime with some coworkers, 7 of us in total. The location was attractive becuase some of our group have allergy or other food needs, and they can accommodate. The interior is bright and fun. They're in the strip mall at 86th with the Noral Target, so there was plenty of parking. We each ordered separately, but they nicely put our order on the same overall table ticket so that it was delivered at roughly the same time. I hadn't been here before, and was excited to try it. You order at the front counter then they bring it to our table. The menu can be a little daunting if you aren't sure what you want. I chose a chicken enchilada bowl, but was then told they were out of cheese. Nothing else was jumping out at me, so I just ordered the avocado toast. (see pics) Our food came fairly quickly. I will say, my coworkers' dishes looked good. I was pretty disappointed with my avocado toast. For $9, it was a sinlgle slice of bread, only very lightly toasted. The jammy egg was maybe 1 hard boiled egg, chopped up on top, and it was cold. It did have shredded cheese over it (not sure why that couldn't have been used in my enchilada bowl?) . It also tased like it had a lot of "everything bagel" spices on it, and was overall fairly salty. So it was a little disappoining. And I left hungry. But I wasn't in the mood to order anything else. My coworkers had sweet potato fries (I tried some - really good!), and different bowls that looked good, so I would give them another try sometime, but the avocado toast did not live up to expectations. #ReviewsByRL read more

I had came here with a friend for a lunch date since I hadn't been here yet. When I first walked in they had water at the door which was really nice. The restaurant is really nice with the decor. I love that we were greeted when we first walked in. They had took our order and explained the different meals offered. I had got the chicken plate with broccoli and glazed carrots. The price was very reasonable especially with it being a healthy eating place. I love a good restaurant that offers clean eating options and this place definitely sets the bar for meeting that expectation. If you are looking for somewhere with clean eating definitely check this place out. I will definitely be going back here again. The food was delicious! read more

This is one of the best chain restaurants and this location is extra great. My usual go to is the steak plate with the broccoli and sweet potatoes. It has always been good. Today I got the chicken enchiladas and the kale salad and they were unreal good. I love that they have healthy options! This location is a lot bigger than others so there is tons of seating. My food came out quick and all of the staff were super friendly! read more

I went here for dinner and I really loved everything about this restaurant. Firstly, let's talk about the intentionally behind the decor and seating arrangements inside and outside. The restaurant is simply yet so elegant. The service was wonderful throughout (from ordering the food, delivery of food and clearing the plates). The options on the menu were wonderful and I was so impressed by the menu. I had the salmon with cauliflower risotto and quinoa and corn. The salmon was cooked the perfection, the cauliflower was creamy and zesty and the quinoa abs corn reminds me of corn pudding (so divine). The food was excellent and my only complaint is I wish I had gotten a little more. I tried my friend's meal, the sweet potato bowl with tofu and it was also good. The portions are smaller but very great quality. read more

This was such a fun spot! Hip, cool, fresh! Looking at the menu, one friend said, " This food will make my body feel good!"- and this was the truth! What whole food to fuel our bodies to head to a concert that same night! We even had a friend in our group with allergies, and she had no problems! Our food came out so quick and was lovely! We also had yummy lemon muffins to take with us for the road! Would totally recommend! read more

My friend and I love coming here everything is great but the prices are way too high for something that you can fix at home for less but the service was excellent. The food was good but too much money. And the ambiance is relaxed. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

It was a joint birthday celebration, my adopted sister, her parents, my wife, and me. When you bring together an adopted sister, her parents, and a spouse for a joint birthday celebration, the evening needs to deliver. From the moment we walked in, Flower Child was ready. Danielle greeted us with a genuine and heartfelt welcome. She walked us through the menu, the specials, and helped us customize our orders until we were all taken care of and excited about our upcoming meal. As we searched for a place to sit, Eddie and Latham guided us to a table that would fit our party, and they did that VIP thing Flower Child does so well. They treated us like we were in a fine dining establishment. As we took our seats, napkins, silverware, and everything needed for a good meal were brought to us. When we had questions, they were there to guide us, present but never intrusive. We needed an adjustment on our food, not because of a mistake by the Flower Child team, but because of a preference of one of our party. Carla was kind enough to fix the issue and make everything excellent, and she did it with a genuine smile, like a close friend would. This was the first time I had met her, and she advocated for me and helped me like a longtime friend. Color me impressed. As our meal progressed and we became lost in conversation, the team at Flower Child was there, providing everything we needed. As I came up for one last purchase, Cicely took care of my order and splashed in a dash of kindness and humor. The food was excellent, the service and ambiance were exceptional, and I cannot wait until we come back for our next meal. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Staff friendly. Just wish I could actually eat the food. read more

I love this spot! My only complaint is that it's so far from where we live ;) I'm a sucker for a fast casual healthy food spot. We popped in this last Friday night and ordered a variety of their veggie grain bowls topped with roasted tofu as well as kombush, rose lemonade and the vegan chocolate pudding dessert topped with roasted nuts (it's such a treat!) Their menu is chock full of nutritious options and I often find myself struggling to pick because I want it all - clever veggie side dishes, sweet potato noodles, veggie stir frys and seasonal salads, etc. Our kids loved their brussel sprout fall salad and sampling all of the fun drinks. They make it easy for parents with high chairs, crayons and coloring pages, etc. Last but not least, all of the staff we've encountered during our visits are very friendly and hospitable. The open concept kitchen makes it fun to watch the action and see how everything is made from scratch. Looking forward to my next visit and hope they expand to the downtown area one day. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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.

This place is perfect, there were a variety of shrimp, chicken and meat options too. Great find! read more

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. read more

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. read more

It's been years since I have had a place to go to regularly to get away, rest and work. An office away from home, if you will. It's been even longer since I had a special "spot" that I looked forward to visiting. I think the last time was before Covid when I did online writing and freelance marketing. That was an entire lifetime ago! I have missed those days of creativity and work that was my own. Recently, I started a business in Nora just a minute down the road. I am so thankful that Flower Child has become that spot for me. This fact, alone, deserves 5 stars because it is a rare thing to find a spot where you feel comfortable and relaxed enough to accomplish quality work. Flower Child has fast internet, provides an exceptionally clean and cheerful environment and is filled with windows and outdoor seating to experience the beautiful midday sun shining on your space. I have a special table at Flower Child. I have sat at this exact spot a few times, now, and it holds a special place in my heart. I won't share my spot with you, because you need to find your own special table. Fortunately, Flower Child provides ample seating from which to choose. My table is a place of peace and joy. The food and drink at Flower Child are simply lovely. I usually choose one of their delicious salads and add some protein. I have had the chicken and the fish. The fish was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. I love the unsweet Passion Fruit Black Tea. I love that Flower Child is located just off the Monon Trail. It is easily accessible from the trail if you choose to walk or ride your bike for a nice lunch or afternoon iced tea. There is also a good amount of parking. As I kickstart my new business endeavor, I am thankful that I found Flower Child and that it has already become a special place for me to visit. It's actually been too long since I have sipped on some tea at my special table after a lovely midday walk on the Monon. That needs to happen, soon. read more

Hippie, healthy vibes here! I've been to an FC in Arizona a while ago and was stoked to hear they were opening one here in Indy. Infused water is available just inside the front door. I made my way to the counter to order a late lunch. Chopped vegetable salad plus tofu for me. I paid, took my number and had a seat. Note that the utensils and napkins are on the east wall of the building. I failed to notice them, but the friendly staff member grabbed them for me when she brought my salad. The salad was beautiful, fresh and quite delightful. I love some seasoned tofu; it really doesn't get the kudos it deserves! The ambiance here is boho cool and very casual. They also have a large outdoor patio area for dining, if that suits your fancy. FC has some great selections and a fun atmosphere. I'll certainly be back again soon! read more

I knew I instantly wanted a bowl because I wanted to taste all the different fresh vegetables, chicken and quinoa at the same time.

My wife and I decided to stop in here for a late lunch and we loved it! When you walk in you instantly see how cute of a restaurant it is with awesome tiles, cool art, and awesome light decor. After looking at the menu for a little we decided to order the avacado hummus, the chicken enchiladas, steak with a side of mac and cheese and the kungpow cauliflower and my wife ordered the turkey and avacado cob salad! Let's start with the really goods: the steak was very tasty and tasted perfect, the side of kungpow cauliflower that came with the steak was AMAZING. I would come back just for that, side bad note, the steak was a small portion size, the avocado hummus was bomb with the fresh pita and the chicken enchiladas were INCREDIBLE. The salad my wife got was good, nothing incredible though. And the mac and cheese was just alright. Finally onto the service, the service was the final thing that pushed it over the edge for us. The staff was so friendly, they seemed like they actually loved their jobs and raved to us about the food quality. We will definitely be back and I'd recommend you come check it out! read more
