If your Monday lunch plans are looking a little uninspired, we’ve got a (delicious) detour for you: INDAY is handing out free bowls of its brand-new Chicken Over Rice at all eight of its New York City locations today, July 21. Yes, free—as in $0, no strings, just good vibes and better sauces.

The giveaway is part of the fast-casual brand’s citywide launch for its reimagined version of the classic halal-style street dish. INDAY’s take combines charred Tandoor-style chicken with house-made turmeric rice, cucumber and tomato salad and a generous drizzle of creamy white and spicy red sauces, which are both made in-house. It’s craveable, comforting and costs exactly nothing (while supplies last). Each location will be serving up to 150 free bowls today, so you’ll want to get there early before they’re gone.

Priced at $12 on non-giveaway days, the new dish was intentionally designed to be both filling and inflation-friendly, keeping affordability front and center as food costs continue to rise.

Throughout August, INDAY will donate a portion of proceeds from all Chicken Over Rice sales to the Street Vendor Project, a nonprofit that supports the rights, livelihoods and recognition of New York’s street vendors. With a membership of over 2,900 mostly immigrant vendors, the organization provides legal aid, business training and advocacy for vendors across the city.

Whether you’re chasing flavor or just chasing a good deal, INDAY’s got you covered today. Come for the free lunch, stay for the community-minded mission—and maybe grab a second bowl later this week, knowing it supports the people who helped put this dish on the map in the first place.
