Picture this: After a grueling day I arrive to flower child for dinner. In desperate search of iron after a fatiguing day, I order the MEDIUM steak with GF Mac on the side. I pull into spot 2 and call the employee for my curbside order. They immediately start laughing on the phone, perhaps about this so called "food" they were about to serve me. The food is brought out and I appear into the bag. At first, I thought I maybe have accidentally clicked the "dog food" option for dinner. Upon further reflection, it actually WAS the steak except with every fluid ounce of liquid SEARED out of it. Frustrated, I get out of my car and go inside for a new order of steak. Without hesitation, they agree to make me a new order. They bring out the steak for me within 2 minutes of the request. Hopeful, I bring my new order to the car and open it up. I'm not sure where Flower Child hires their chefs but they should consider transferring employment to Milkbone. The "new" order of steak in front of me is comparable to a steel wool sponge. The only benefit was the seasoning of the ashes that the steak provided my Mac and cheese. If you're searching for something to brush your teeth with, order the steak from flower child. If this doesn't sound enticing, bring your money elsewhere. read more

Flower Child - Salad Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Wowsa. As a self-identified veggie head, Flower Child has been on my radar for some time - and I am kicking myself for not going sooner! In fact, I loved it so much that I went twice in a week's time. Seriously! Some highlights: ++ The Mother Earth Bowl - add a protein. I skipped the onion and didn't miss them. The roasted sweet potatoes, pesto, arugula, and avocado all smooshed together perfectly. Even my omni hubs kept stealing bites. ++ The entrees: pick your protein and add 2 sides. I went with the Salmon, Kung Pao Cauliflower, and Sesame Noodles - all SUPER tasty. Salmon portion was nice and perfectly cooked. The cauliflower was so light (not breaded) and the flavor was ON POINT. ++ Vegan Chocolate Pudding: topped with roasted coconut and almonds. PERFECTION. The temp, texture, and flavor were amazing. I could eat this every day. ++ Hubs LOVED his French dip wrap (no cheese) - and did not even want to use the bone broth dip as the flavor was so good. ++ The fresh drink choices: they allowed us to sample all 3 and they were all so light and refreshing! I especially loved the petal lemonade, but also loved the flavored black tea offering. Randoms: Be sure to try the citrus water in the entry way. Trust me. The staff were ALL so friendly and helpful! I love the decor and vibe of the space - so clean and inviting. I would like to work from here for an hour or 2 some time. So cozy. So yes - we will be back often! read more

Food: Delicious Service: Fast Ambiance: Beautiful These were my initial thoughts. The functionality was slightly confusing at first specifically where you order and go for drinks. However, the staff were helpful and supportive which made the overall experience nice. Ordering your food you sit with a number and have the food delivered. The food was perfect the Chicken Yakisoba Noodles was what I chose and the portion was perfect, vegetables were fresh and cooked perfectly. read more

This place is adorable! What's not to like? Loved the citrus water in the entry. I ended up choosing the Mother Earth bowl and added shrimp. The flavor profile was fire and it was hard to pick out one item I liked the most. The charred onions and broccoli pesto were up there. Will definitely be back! I could eat that bowl every day! read more

Flower Child - Mother Earth bowl with shrimp - Salad Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

What a great new addition to Nora! Fun, casual, lots of flowers. Order at the counter and food is brought to the table. So many healthy options. Vegan, vegetarian, gf and others. Several starters, salads, bowls, entrees and wraps. The Mother Earth bowl is amazing and a large portion. The Carolina BBQ is also worth trying. Hopefully more Flower Child's will open up across town. read more

Attended the Friends and Family soft opening - we WILL be back for more! Everything we tried was delicious. My favorite was the lemon olive oil cake - nice and moist and full of flavor without being too lemony. The entrees were a perfect size, and had great flavor. For their focus on natural and organic products, the food wasn't too pricey either IMO. Expect to spend $13-15 for a plate though. Atmosphere was fun and hip, only downside is how loud it can get but it's definitely not enough to detract from the rest of the good things here. Service was GREAT too, everyone I interacted with was helpful and happy to answer questions. Can't wait to come back! read more

3.5 Fast casual dining. Very bright, clean, fresh interior. Order at the front, pick a table and staff brings your food to you. The food is great, I do think it's a bit pricey considering you're not being waited on. Flavors are there, and the service is quick. Sweet potato fries were verrrrry burnt first time I went but perfect the second. read more

I tried a number of items here after having the food delivered therefore I can't speak on the ambiance, since I haven't eaten inside. The food was all good. Everything was well seasoned and full of flavor. I look forward to trying the food fresh, as some items were impacted by the condensation. A highlight were the sweet potato fries with garlic dipping sauce. Like the ambiance, I also can't speak on the service. However, I received everything I ordered and nothing was left out. The food was also all well packaged. read more

Everything we have had here is great. The vibe is fun. The food is fresh and generous. We did try to order something and the person at the register said most people weren't really enjoying it and told us why so we decided to change our order and were pleased with the result. This place is in our regular rotation. read more

Just tried Flower Child after hearing a ton of hype about it and it delivered! I am more plant-based and used to be strict vegetarian, and this place was my paradise! Everything was so delicious and fresh. I love the flexibility of the menu because it allows you to mix and match all the different options if you can't decide on just one!! The service was great and super helpful! It can be a lot to take in, but the cashier was so helpful in guiding me towards something that made sense together! read more

Flower Child - Chilled Sesame Noodles Red Chile Glazed Sweet Potato Kung Pow Cauliflower - Salad Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Great, healthy food options, good vibes, and friendly staff. Just know, though - it is VERY pricey, I came in by myself, got the soup of the day (curried potato - good flavor, but WAY too salty - couldn't even finish it) and a chopped veggie salad with chicken added (wasn't actually chopped and chicken was dry and also a little salty( adand it was $30! No drink. I mean, does this look like $30 worth of food? You can get even better salads at Sweetgreens for half the cost and makes 2 meals. If there were more affordable options with protein included I'd come more often. read more

Indy has been missing a cozy, quick healthy eating spot since Public Greens closed, but this is a great alternative, especially with the protein + 2 sides format. I wanted to try nearly everything but I landed on the Mother Earth bowl and added shrimp. It has three different sauces/salsas on it, including a spicy red pepper sauce, some kind of pesto and a cucumber salsa; all were full of flavor. The highlights were the shrimp (juicy and flavored with some kind of marinade or sauce... I think it was lemony and garlicky but I just remember loving it) and the cooked mushrooms and onions were incredible. I would have eaten a whole bowl just of these. The vibes are also nice with a large covered outdoor patio to sit on and spa water (with fruit infusions) like a nice hotel would have out free to drink. I will definitely be back! read more

This place seems very well run. Staff was up to the task of busy lunch time; they seemed to be adapting their plans smoothly to the changing circumstances as the lunch crowd picked up. Clearly people like us heard good things and wanted to try it out for themselves. The line to order food is a little awkward in the front lobby because people are trying to get in the doors, but Hoosiers know how to cooperate, so it was fine. So many choices! Just pick one and plan to come back. I had the ginger miso crunch salad, and it delivered all it promised- including the low calorie count, but it did fill me up. It will bring me back here soon. Friend had the Carolina BBQ wrap and ate every bite; she was happy and we both felt like we had a delicious healthy lunch. Be prepared for the small adjacent parking lot to be crowded. There are plenty of spaces in Nora plaza but those immediately adjacent to the restaurant were a little hectic. read more

Delicious, healthy, high quality food. My mom is a health nut and allll about the vegetarian options and Whole Foods. We stopped here for her birthday lunch and it was perfect. The inside feels very fresh and joyful! I didn't realize it was an "order at the counter" type of place until we walked in. They had a great variety of options from salads to bowls to entrees. Lots of meat options and veg friendly. I tried the Mother Earth bowl and it was so filling and satisfying. I especially loved the sweet potatoes and whatever spicy sauce came on them. The tofu I added was also delicious and well flavored. My family got the salmon and a couple different sides. All were delicious! read more

I have been wanting to try this place after seeing so much hype online. I was expecting a sit down restaurant but you actually order at the counter and they bring it out to you. There was a huge line for lunch on a Saturday but the line went quickly. The food also came out rather quickly as well. I was worried about being able to find a table with how busy they were but the staff was great about clearing and cleaning tables as soon as people were done to make them available. The parking lot was small and the shopping center was very busy. We ended up parking all the way by target. The food was good. My salmon was cooked well and really enjoyed my brussel sprouts and the roasted broccoli. I also added an extra side of steak for extra protein. Unfortunately the steak was overcooked and really nothing special. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the lack of information on their menu. It had only said roasted broccoli but as you can see in the picture, there is some sort of sauce on it. My friend had asked for no provolone on the Italian turkey salami salad but was not informed there was Parmesan in it. This was our first time so I honestly don't know what else is on the other items that may not be listed on their menu. read more

Ordered takeout today! They were very busy so there was a slight wait but it was worth it! The inside is so cute and welcoming! Everyone was very kind and had a smile on their face! The food was very delicious! Well portioned and seasoned just right! If you are someone who automatically adds salt to their food then this place may not be for you! It's the perfect amount of salt and flavor to be healthy which for me is exactly what I'm going for! So don't go here expecting it to be super powerful in flavor! It's just enough to enjoy and still be delicious! Carry out was smooth! They have dedicated parking spots and you call when you arrive! They will bring the food out to you! My fav was the queso and the glazed sweet potatoes! Love that they have a patio and can't wait to sit out and enjoy the vibes on a hot summer day! My boyfriend liked the lemonade. He said that it wasn't too sweet and you could tell it was made from scratch! read more

So many healthy food options so I can be full at 450 calories knowing that I'm treating my body and gut biome well. The Ginger Miso Crunch with Tofu was almost perfect. I added a bit of Agave Sriracha and balsamic to pump up the flavor a bit. Rice vinegar would have been nice. The veggies were super crisp and fresh. Next time I'll ask if they can do a quick grilling of the tofu for crispness and maybe flavor with a light touch of soy sauce as, otherwise, it's very bland having no time with the other sauce ingredients to absorb any. Tami had the Mediterranean Chicken Kabob bowl. She liked it but perhaps next time would ask to go lightly on the harissa. And...these are just our personal preferences for adjustment. We both enjoyed the Mango Green Tea. All in all a great new lunch option for us. read more

Overall consensus: tasty food, small serving sizes, poor management. I placed an online order for pickup at this location. The app estimated a 30 minute wait--we ended up waiting about 45-50 minutes. 10 minutes after the estimated pick up time, I asked one of the employees if my order would be out soon. After checking, they said they didn't see a record of an order with my name on it. I showed them my confirmation email. 5-10 minutes later, they brought out my order. I ordered the steak entree with sweet potato fries and kale salad, as well as the avocado hummus. It was missing the fries, so I went back up to request those. The food was overall tasty. The steak was somewhat juicy, but also a very small portion size (4 pieces). The kale side salad was fantastic--a large portion size and absolutely delicious. Usually side salads are just romaine and croutons, but this one had zucchini spirals, grated parm, and a delicious lemony dressing. The sweet potato fries were crispy and the dill ranch was amazing. The avocado hummus was nothing spectacular--tasty, but a little bland. The pita tasted like it came right out of a package from Walmart. read more

Ordered on line with a 30 minute pick up time. The actual pick up time was over 55 minutes.

I was invited to order a complimentary meal on line to go, so I ordered the Mother Earth Bowl and a Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cashew Cookie. I was warmly greeted by a hostess at the door who directed me the rack holding to-go-orders. My order was ready on time and warm when I picked it up. A quick glance around the restaurant appeared to be vibrant and appealing. Driving home, the bowl smelled amazing awakening my appetite. The bowl tasted amazing! The ancient grains, avocado, sweet potato, portobello mushrooms and charred onions, cucumber, broccoli pesto, red pepper miso vinaigrette, and a splash of hemp seed sounded good when ordering, but it ended up being amazing due to the combination of fresh ingredients, textures, and flavors that are truly delicious and satisfying. The cookie, which I ordered for a simple sweet treat, was delicious as well. Soft, yet crispy with heft filled with an ample amount of dark chocolate, and coconut flakes. I'm looking forward to trying out more items from their menu! read more

This was my first visit to Flower Child. I went on a Friday afternoon around 4:30. I got carry-out. I ordered the Mother Earth bowl. It was tasty and I wasn't disappointed. I did feel that the arugula was a bit bitter for my taste and the broccoli pesto was also a strangely bitter aftertaste as well. The rest of the bowl balanced it out so I could hid the little bit of bitter bite. The avocado, sweet potato, mushrooms and ancient grain mixture was just right. Very filling. A great selection of vegetarian items on their menu so I will definitely be back! Also they have kombucha on tap and sell by the bottle. I had raspberry in the bottle and it was just right! Try this fabulous place. read more

Flower Child is a fantastic spot if you're looking for fresh, healthy food that actually tastes great. The ingredients are vibrant, the flavors are clean, and you can tell they care about quality. I really loved my meal, it felt nourishing and satisfying without being heavy. That said, the portion sizes are on the smaller side for the price, so just something to keep in mind if you're extra hungry. Still, it's a feel-good place with a thoughtful menu, and I'll definitely be back when I'm craving something wholesome. I got the grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and the roasted broccoli. The salmon was very small but the mashed potatoes were the best I've ever had in my life. I would love to come back and try something else. Perhaps one of the wraps or salads. The staff were attentive and helpful and I absolutely loved the atmosphere as it was very bright and welcoming. read more

I wanted to love Flower Child, but was disappointed. I got the chicken entree plate that comes with two sides. The chicken was probably about half a chicken breast, sliced and served chilled... didn't see that on the menu or I wouldn't have ordered cold chicken breast. The sides were ok. The sweet potato fries were good and warm, but the asian cauliflower dish was served so lukewarm I couldn't tell whether it was supposed to be hot or cold. The flavor of everything was good, but it was confusing. Also I paid almost $20 for this with the tip... not great. read more

Flower Child - Not a great pic bc I took it after I started eating, but here is the chicken entree with cauliflower and sweet potato fries. - Salad Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Was a bit underwhelmed while trying Flower Child for the first time. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and very fitting for Flower Child's brand. There were a lot of appealing options on the menu however after being persuaded I tried the Thai Chicken and Shrimp meatballs which comes with a massive arugula salad. The meatballs were quite good especially with the masala sauce and rice however for almost $17 I feel like there should be more than 3 meatballs. It seems like they try and compensate that with a big arugula salad however it doesn't feel justified. read more

First visit to this new Nora eatery. I had the 3 vegetarian dishes and selected cauliflower risotto, king psi cauliflower and sweet potato fries. The fries were excellent and served with a yummy dipping sauce. The king pow cauliflower was okay but not particularly spicy. The risotto was also just okay. My friend had the kale and brussel sprout salad and thought it was very tasty but too large. Why don't restaurants offer a smaller portion for a lesser price? The rose petal lemonade was nothing special. The decor is cute and you order at the counter but your food is brought to you. There is a wide selection of menu offerings so I would definitely return to try more. Ample seating in or on the covered patio. Great addition to this plaza. read more

Stopped by Flower Child in Indianapolis with the family and had a great experience overall. I ordered the steak bowl with mashed potatoes and kale salad--everything was super flavorful, especially the potatoes (honestly, might've stolen the show). Only downside: the steak portion was a little small, but what was there tasted great. My wife had the Mediterranean chicken kebab, which was well-seasoned and fresh. My daughter went with the enchilada and gave it a big thumbs up. No complaints there. The place itself has a cool, relaxed vibe--bright, clean, and cheerful. Perfect spot for a healthy-ish meal that doesn't feel like a compromise. Definitely coming back. Just maybe give me a little more steak next time! read more

I came in with a group of 24 ladies at 1:00 in the afternoon for lunch. The manager, Maddie and her staff were so helpful and arranged for all of us to sit together in the back section. We could not ask for better service. You order at the window and the food came out amazingly quick. Everyone raved about how fresh and delicious it was. And so beautifully plated. d highly recommend Flower Child to anyone wating fresh food and service. And the decor was great, bright, fun and uique. read more

LOVED!!! New favorite spot for a casual meal! I appreciate their culinary excellence beyond words. The daily soup, chicken tortilla with organic blue corn, was better than anything I could have made at home. It definitely had some red pepper or cheyanne or pieces of chopped up asparagus because it was a bit spicy but I loved it! It had lots of chicken. The meatballs were not my favorite, but that's because I'm not a huge fan of meatballs, but I respect the craft! The masala sauce it was in was delicious! I could eat a bowl of it! Favorite flavor to bless my young in a while!!! The basil pesto in the asparagus was to die for. It was mostly arugula though and only one small piece of asparagus. The Mother Earth bowl has DELICIOUS sweet potatoes on it. I was not in love with the broccoli pesto as much as the basil pesto, but definitely a nice change to the typical. read more

Nestled in the Nora area is the cutest resturant I've ever seen. Flower Child is hard to miss as the building is green and bright and grabs your attention from a distance. I placed a carry out order and opted for the salmon plate which comes with two sides for $17. I chose broccoli and mashed potatoes and everything was so good and fresh. I was hesitant about ordering the salmon because I usually like my salmon a little on the well done side, but this salmon was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were plentiful and yummy...but that broccoli!!!! Whew best broccoli I've ever eaten it was topped with lemon, garlic, and bread crumbs...sooooo good! They have a rewards special if you sign up for their rewards program and spend at least $20 you get $10 off so work that being said I also added on the lemon olive oil cake...sounded interesting and I love lemon, it was moist and not too sweet! Can't wait to go back and try the steak. read more
