SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN!
Have dietary (gluten, vegan) restrictions that you have to worry about? Trying to eat healthy/clean? Wanting something nutritious and refreshing on one of these hot Indiana days? Look no farther.
It's about time Avon got something like Hummus Republic/Nautical Bowls, honestly. This place couples two different menus (three, if you count the juice bar) under one roof and it really hits the spot on a summer day. Our group tried various combinations of the beef and lamb gyro meat, mushroom shawarma, lemon chicken, all served atop beds of hummus, couscous, rice or garbanzo beans. The staff is amazing and quick with information or answers to any questions you might have and just as ready with suggestions for those who aren't as familiar with Mediterranean food.
We were fortunate enough to meet Jigna, the owner, who proudly told us that sauces are prepared in house daily, and the rice/couscous/hummus is all prepared as needed to minimize waste and maximize freshness. Trust me, it's something you can appreciate in the taste.
If you're not feeling that sort of fare, just do a 180 in the store and you're looking at the menu boards for Nautical Bowls, a smoothie bowl-style eatery that is so delicious and naturally sweet that you'll almost feel guilty eating it. Perfect for a summer day or post-workout carbohydrate boost, their menu offers house-created selections or gives you the opportunity to design your own.
Feeling adventurous and wanna try some new cuisine? Know you like Mediterranean food but don't feel like driving to your usual spot? Craving something filling that you won't regret eating before you hit the parking lot? Do yourself a favor and go see Jigna and her staff. Fresh ingredients, delicious house-made drink options, and a SUPER clean restaurant? Sign me up. We'll be...
   Read moreMy wife and kids wanted smoothie bowls for dinner last night, which is not very exciting for me. When we pulled up and saw that they shared a building with Hummus Republic, my attitude completely shifted. I ended up getting a bowl with couscous, garbanzo beans, and spinach as the base. Then topped it with tzatziki, kalamata olive and zesty feta hummus, lemon chicken, chicken shawarma, and some sauteed onions, olives, and jalapenos. On top of all that, I added tomatoes, cucumber, olives, feta, chickpea croutons, domades, roasted red pepper tahini, garlic jalapeno tahini, and a few falafel. I also ordered a side of sweet potato waffle fries, that were seasoned with za'atar. For a drink, I had cucumber and jalapeno lemonade. My son also got a bowl and loved it. All of the kids enjoyed the lemonade selection, as they filled their cups with a little bit of each of the six flavors. I also appreciated that the smoothie bowl place (Nautical Bowls) was in the same building, separated by a low wall. My two youngest daughters were able to still have their smoothie bowls for dinner, while my son and I were ordering at Hummus Republic. I also met the owner, who was a very nice man that noticed that I have been going to the gym and complimented my arms. LOL Terrific place! Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious. I will definitely...
   Read moreI recently had the pleasure of dining at Hummus Republic, and let me just say, this is hands down some of the best Mediterranean food Iâve ever had! Living in the Avon and Plainfield area, weâve never had a restaurant like this before, and itâs such a welcome addition to the local food scene.
From the moment I walked in, I knew this place was special. The ambiance feels authentic, and the quality of the food is simply outstanding. It was my first time here, and I was blown away by the variety of options available. The staff was incredibly friendly and did an amazing job explaining all the different flavors, ingredients, and combinations. Their passion for the food really shines through, and it made my experience even better.
The food itself is spectacularâfresh, flavorful, and bursting with authenticity. Every bite was a delight. On top of that, the pricing is very fair, especially considering the quality of what youâre getting. The entire restaurant was spotless, which is always a good sign.
I canât recommend Hummus Republic enough. If youâre in the area and looking for a place to enjoy some truly incredible Mediterranean food, this is the spot. Iâm already looking forward to my next...
