    Order at counter

    The Happy Chicken is a new chicken place on the corner of 86th and Michigan Road. I was glad to see they were open, as I stopped by yesterday and they were not. They serve a simple menu with chicken as the star of either flatbread, meals or a Mediterranean inspired bowl. The chicken is roasted, not fried. When we stopped at 11:30 for lunch, the chicken was not ready for the plate meals, so we could only order flatbread or the bowl. You order at the counter and the food is ready very quickly. The bowl was huge. The roasted chicken is very tender. The bowl had a ton of yellow rice and some iceberg lettuce. The meal was topped with a huge piece of pita and a sauce that they called Tazhiki, but was really a lemon flavored yogurt. The sauce and rice left me disappointed. The meal was filling. The staff was friendly and quick. There are only 2 tables inside to eat. The tables are wonky, too low for the bar height stools. You have to lean over to reach the food. I think most people order the meals to go, which is a good idea. I would like to see some healthier options (more vegetables) on the menu and more upscale dishes. I would like to try the plate meals, but I think you have to show up later in the day for those to be an option. In and out of the parking lot is challenging. You can really only go north. I drove around the block to get into the parking lot.

    I was excited to try it based on the reviews. I went in and the place was quiet, it was about an hour before closing. The employees were friendly and kind. The food seemed a little overpriced, but on the menu it looked yummy. I payed 11$ after tax for my food and I was a little disappointed by it. The size did match the photo and everything was cold, I walked home within about I minutes and by time I opened it the cheese and everything looked cold. The flavor was good but the chicken and cheese had gone cold and dry.I probably won't return but I can see how others might enjoy it!

    YOU NEED TO TRY THIS. If I could give it 7 stars, I would. I have broken my Yelp hiatus because this restaurant deserves more traffic and reviews. For anyone that remembers the Happy Chicken in Castleton from years ago, THIS IS THE SAME RESTAURANT!! And it is back better than ever (well just as delicious at least, it is hard to improve on this food). The food is delicious, healthy, and fairly priced. I personally love the bowls, and any chicken you get is seasoned amazingly with a little kick and spice. Everything is baked and the food looks simple but the flavors are not missed. Get ready for a flavor explosion that exceeds your visual expectations. The owner and staff are all super friendly and greet you as you come in. There are two 2-person tables inside, so it is definitely made for grab and go but you could enjoy your meal inside if it isn't busy. I recommend trying to stay once because the owner and staff are very friendly and personable. They do offer catering orders (20/40 wing platters). I can't express how happy this food actually makes me and how ecstatic I am that they decided to reopen again. The fact that people remember this restaurant YEARS after it closed is a testament to the food and culture of the business. This will be my go-to when I have a hankering for some flavor in my life. You can't go wrong here. Thank you Happy Chicken for making me happy again P.S. Keep an eye out for salmon and tilapia being added to the menu soon. We were lucky enough to get a sample and O. M. G. Can't wait for this to go live.

    Food is good and it's a healthy portion. The chicken is broaster type and combination plate included rice and lettuce on bottom and a slightly dry pita bread on top for eating as wrapper. I liked it... but I think I will just get pieces and side next time

    Been going here for years. So happy it reopened. Healthy clean eating with so much flavor. Best wings in town. The sides are outstanding. Also try the chicken bowl, so yummy. Easy place to eat clean with taste and lose weight.

    No chicken available at lunch time, grossly overpriced, and no room to sit down! Kind of a dump! Left and went down the street to BW3 .

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 entire place is covered with the evil eye charms, so you should definitely be safe here. I highly recommend reservations because they sure get busy. And while the ambiance is great, you really cannot linger for long, as there are usually folks waiting to get a seat. The menu is quite extensive and offers plenty for carnivores and vegetarians alike. I opted for the Iskender, which is crisp pita bread pieces topped with meat slices, all of it doused in a savory tomato based sauce and topped with dollops of yoghurt. The bread has little crisp edges and together with the meat and toppings gives you like a mini sandwich in your mouth. Simply delicious. The Turkish spices bring a wonderful flavor to the dish. I highly recommend it. Hat to admit it, but I have not been too impressed with the tzaziki on previous visits. It was somewhat runny and bland, but I haven't had in a while. Street parking is limited, but in the summer there is a gravel lot on the side of the neighboring building. However when it snows, parking can be a bit of a problem, so be aware.

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 hummus was garlicky and wonderful. We all ordered different entrées. My choice was the vegetarian pastichio. Our entrées and all the sides were excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so we will try again next time. The ambiance was wonderful, the food and service could not have been better. We all agreed that we will be returning soon.

It happened to be the first warm day, and so I could tell I was probably the first customer to sit outside for the season. Even so, the tables and outdoor space were clean. Food: I got the meatballs and they were good! I enjoyed the feta on the inside. I felt they were a little dry and could have been more tender. The pita that accompanied was perfection! 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.

    We're always looking for good Greek food in Indianapolis and noticed this spot while eating…read moresomewhere nearby, so we decided to make a trip back downtown for it at a later time. 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.
