Blind Faith Cafe

I’ve been coming here for 5 years since my first month of moving to Evanston. I’ve also brought several guests here over the years. Being a vegetarian, this place has been amazing and often I am confused and spoiled for choice on what to order. During the pandemic, I’ve ordered take out and delivery several times. I believe I have tried everything entrée on their menu. Some of my favorites include the Mongolian stir fry, the pot pie and the Thai peanut noodles. The pot pie used to be a special on the menu until it became a part of their regular menu, probably because it was very popular ! I also like the lasagna and the shiitake walnut loaf a lot. They have a great dessert section, although I’ve mostly been too full to try them out. Among the desserts, the chocolate cake and the tiramisu are my favorite. Service has always been quick and wonderful, whenever I’ve come here. It’s a great vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the Chicagoland and a must try regardless of whether you live in the n

So BLAND! Oh my gosh, it was terrible. Appetizer that we ordered was the crispy brussel sprouts. Two main entrees were Seitan Marsala & Thai peanut noodles. Brussel sprouts- just okay. We added salt. For some reason the brussel sprouts are served on a bed of raw cabbage?? What’s the point of that? It was so bland and sort of strange to serve mini cooked cabbages (basically what brussel sprouts are) ontop of raw shredded cabbage… weird culinary choice but ok. Seitan Marsala. The “beef” pieces were decent- but they were overly salted. This was probably the only component of our meals that was actually seasoned but unfortunately it was overly salty. The mushrooms dont seem to be cooked with the seitan beef, rather it tasted like the seitan and mushrooms were cooked separately and then tossed together at the end. The mushrooms were a little sweet with some dried herbs on them, while the seitan was savory and overly salted. Again, weird culinary choice, it’s just not cohesive. Why not brais

Food and service were top notch. Nice ambiance. Street meter parking but Sundays are free (at least where we parked). Features: Servers were all wearing masks.
