I walked in and was immediately greeted by a friendly gentleman . Since it was my first time he graciously walked me through the process and explained the various items. I ordered the rice bowl. With a rice bowl, you pick a protein and 5 different items. I went with chicken, sautéed vegetables, seasonal hummus, tabouli salad, eggplant spread, feta cheese and pickled onions. The rice based was very flavorful The seasoning on it was perfect. The sautéed vegetables were delicious! Cooked to perfection again with great flavor. The seasonal hummus is jalapeño and cilantro. This too was delicious. If you are worried about it maybe being hot, it is not! All the pick 5's were so delicious and flavorful. My reason for the 4 stars is because the chicken was not as flavorful and a few pieces were very hard It could of been too because of the 4:30 time I went . I truly loved this place and will definitely be back. Because of all the delicious pick 5's , I think next time I will go the vegetarian route. The food and staff are awesome The ambiance is very nice and very clean.

I TRIED to eat here on a Saturday early afternoon, when I walked in, there was one employee making food, one in the back prepping. The one up front was making something, though there was no other customer in the building. Other than a "hi" when I walked in, I stood at the front for over 5 minutes. Another customer walks in, saying she had an online order, and the worker start taking care of he, still no acknowledgment to me. The prepper comes out of the back, throws mushrooms into a frying pan, and she ignores me. That's when I walk out I see no reason to ever give this chain (?) another chance

We love this concept as it reminds us of a chipotle style restaurant. It is quick and the food is always delicious. I do wish they had a few more options for toppings, but nevertheless, it is always a good experience in the service is always quick.

My food was okay. I tried the spicy falafel gyro and added rice with seasoned fries. It was made to order. The service was great. It was quiet in the restaurant as I was the only customer. I've been here several times. But my order was missing something and I couldn't figure it out.

Not a bad food you can try one time first order with lesser toppings over all good foog

I have eaten here five times now and the food has been consistently yummy! It's close to home located in the front section of Nora Plaza. The space is streamline with tables and chairs and the counter running along the left side. I always order the plate with chicken, and my answer to their veggies, sides, and salads is yes. They are all tasty and delicious. The service has always been polite and helpful. I will have to come back and force myself to try something else next time!

First time in this fantastic Mediterranean joint! It absolutely will not be our last! I tried the plate (gyro) and my husband had the rice bowl (also gyro). We were both pleasantly surprised at the prices for the plates we received. Fresh pita accompanied both our meals, fresh and hot. To accompany my gyro meat I had my pick of a plethora of offerings. I tried just about all there was to try. Humans, roasted eggplant spread, tabouleh, tzatziki, and cucumber salad. The only thing I didn't care for was the tabouleh. I prefer mine to be mainly parsley with a pinch of couscous...theirs is more of a couscous salad. My husband was very happy with his rice plate. Although he said he will just stick with the plate next time as the rice was nothing overly special, but also not tragic. Overall, it was a hit. We found ourselves wanting to go back the next day and now the second day. So we will most certainly be back. One thing to know is they have an app rewards program. So if you are so inclined, download the app before you go and get the rewards going! f you are familiar with franchises like Chipotle, and you also like Mediterranean food, then you will know what the ordering experience will be like for you upon your arrival. Just put together your meal while wondering down the line of fixings. I hope you give it a try. We LOVE Garbanzo's!!

Great food, employees are nice just not very talkative which is ok with me!
Great little counter serve eatery that doesn’t leave you bloated and questioning your life decisions. Ingredients are fresh, taste is taste is great, and service is quick and friendly. Gyro meat is satisfactory but nothing to write home about.Definitely get some baklava!

This was my first taste of Mediterranean food since I moved to Indy about a month ago. I got a byo salad that I placed online. Upon walking in, there was a homeless man sleeping in the dining area. The hallmark of any good Mediterranean food is the freshness of the vegetables / spices. All of the produce used in my salad felt like it had been prepped days before. I found the falafel to be hard as a rock. Definitely will not be going back here.

Not authentic or any good. Subway of pita. Falafel was pretty meh.
