    Bowl
    Ata A.

    Mediocre at best! The chicken shawarma was okay. The different hummus flavors were mid. The dolmas has sat out too long and tasted overly refrigerated. Traditionally dolma\waraq 'inb - stuffed grape leaves are served hot/warm. The sauces were okay, nothing really worth praise. There are plenty of other chains and local shops that surpass the food here.

    1st time. Let's see what I think.

    Very clean atmosphere and not that busy for servicing in the traders pointe area. It's mediterranean cuisine that offers a good variety of healthy options. I got a gyro to try and it was decent. The meat was tender and seasoned pretty good. I also got a side order of their sweet potato fries. They were a little too crunchy but they were delicious. I would try it out again. They did have Mediterranean bowls to burritos/wraps to gyros, or even actual meat entrees, and even salads. I think it's a welcomed edition and should be more visited than what it appears. I stopped by during lunch time and it was only me and another person placing an order.

    You can create your own Mediterranean/Mid-East fusion meal at this new Trader's Point eatery. The counter and dining areas are upscale and the staff is welcoming. The choices are a little overwhelming on the first visit, but the manager will help walk you through the options and even let you taste before you buy. The ingredients are fresh (healthy) with several vegan options in addition to meat selections. The options are a mix of spicy and mild, so you can select what you prefer. The options are Bowl ($14) and Wrap or Pita ($13), which you select (they fill) with a base of greens couscous and beans, hummus (6 options), proteins (Any 2 of several options), salad toppings (about a dozen options including artichokes) and Mediterranean inspired dressings (6-8 options). Some of options have an up-charge so you have to pay attention as you move down the line. I had them create a bowl, which was spicy, large and filling. I selected a chicken shawarma and a vegetable farmers mix. All the hummus was excellent and the star of the meal. The veggies were very fresh. For drinks they offer a series of fruit lemonades. I tried the pomegranate lemonade, which was good. In addition, there is a limited selection of assorted bottled juices and waters and even a Tahini Shake! It would probably be hard to order for someone else. I'd come back.

    Very nice Qdoba style/ go down the line quick Mediterranean fare. Good for lunch or to grab a quick bite. The portions are huge. I got the lamb gyro bowl with salad mix. There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to hummus and dips. I also tried the lychee strawberry lemonade. There are plenty of fresh lemonade/ drinks. My total was about $20. $14 for the bowl but extra $1.75 for gyro meat and the drink was $3.

    I was greeted upon entering. I couldn't decide between a bowl or falafel pita. I went with the pita and sweet potato fries. The lemonade was a little sweet for me. But I was still able to drink it. The bathroom was clean. My falafel and fries were made fresh. My food was flavorful. The restaurant was also clean. They handled the lunch rush well. This place is not only for vegans, but I'm happy to have found a new spot. It was a little pricey but worth every penny. I was also able to charge up .y laptop while I ate lunch, so that made it even better.

    Tried out the recently opened Hummus Republic in Traders Point off of 86th street and it was . Fresh, delicious, healthy, and super friendly. Highly recommend the lemon chicken option. Loved trying the unique lemonade options - enjoyed the strawberry lychee and turmeric ginger lemonade.

    I tried The Hummus Republic for the first time today and was delighted. As an employee at Corteva, just north of this location, I was thrilled to see a new "bowl" restaurant open up. I also have a dairy allergy which was VERY easy to manage here. I didn't feel like I compromised any flavor being dairy free. They have so many great selections for the bowls. I tried three hummus and they were all great. The steak was my favorite protein and the original tahini sauce pulled the whole bowl together. Their prices are fair given the quantity and quality of the food (love how fresh everything is). Great for paleo diet! The restaurant is clean and modern. 10/10 will be back!

    Great dinner or lunch option! The employees were very friendly and let us try all the hummus flavors.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

Both were delicious and well portioned. The guvec (veggie casserole) had eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, and other veggies plus rice and a small salad. The delight had carrots, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, served on top of hummus and walnuts. The food was delivered quickly given the restaurant was full on a Friday night. Good thing we made reservations, which we will do again when we return.

    Went for lunch on a beautiful day in Indy. What a surprise this was. I love Mediterranean food…read moreand this was hands down the best I've ever had. The ambiance is spectacular. The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try. Hands-down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had.

I would come back for that alone even to just sit and drink on a cool evening. Drinks were super good. We ordered the dolma, gyro platter, and shawarma platter Only reason I'm withholding a fifth star is I think the food is a bit overpriced for how good it is. It is good, but I've just had better Mediterranean food for less. The portions are big though, so you could share plates! It is worth a visit! We'll probably be back again

I called ahead and ordered: 2 kebab sandwiches 2 falafel sandwiches 2 kibbeh orders baba ghanoush fattoush salad The employee on the phone told me the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, I was told it would actually be another 17 minutes. I waited in my car, came back after that time passed, and then was told "maybe 13 more minutes." The biggest issue was not just the wait -- it was the lack of honesty and time management. If the restaurant had simply said from the beginning that they were behind and needed closer to an hour, I would have understood. What frustrates customers is being repeatedly given inaccurate wait times. People plan their schedules, families, and evenings around the times restaurants provide. After waiting inside, sitting directly in front of the counter, I watched the cook START preparing parts of my order almost an hour after I originally placed it. Items like the baba ghanoush, salad, and kibbeh -- foods that are usually already prepared -- were only assembled then. Meanwhile, customers who arrived after me and ordered at the restaurant were served before my takeout order was completed. Unfortunately, the food quality also suffered from the long delay: The sandwiches were soggy The salad had water pooled at the bottom and no dressing The kibbeh was soaked in grease For the amount paid, I expected much better service, communication, and food quality. A simple apology and realistic timing would have made a huge difference.

We planned to wait until 5:30 but we were told it was fine and we were seated immediately. The service throughout our meal was outstanding.

The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.

Located in a cute blue house, this is conveniently located near Lucas Oil Stadium and there was a huge concert going on the night we were there, but we were still allowed to park in their parking area. Inside has nice lighting and is pretty plain but has a homey feel. The menu contains many items we're familiar with having visited Greece twice. So I'm going to be a little critical here with my review of the food. I ordered the Greek Spaghetti, which I have had in Greece. Unfortunately this was not at all what I was expecting or anything like Greek spaghetti. What I was served was basically Prego spaghetti sauce with pieces of gyro in it. Traditional Greek spaghetti (or Makaronia me Kima) is a wonderful sauce that's seasoned with all kinds of memorable spices. It's definitely not pieces of gyro meat thrown in a sauce. So while this was fine, it was not what I truly wanted or thought I was getting so I was pretty disappointed. My husband got the chicken souvlaki and that was better but still not quite like what I remember. The meat was almost smoked and lacked some of the Greek spices that gives it a distinct taste. And the tzatziki...well, let's just say it tastes like whipped feta and was lacking in flavor too. I did enjoy the pita bread. Our service was underwhelming as well. It took a while for anyone to notice we were there and needed to be seated and the server basically did the bare minimum, never even asking if we wanted our water refilled. Overall, it was fine. If I had never been to Greece, I may have a different opinion but this isn't someplace I really want to go back to.
