    On a warm night, their tasty Jerusalem Lentil Rice salad hit the spot. And our server Ana was welcoming as always.

    It’s like the food is from the 1970’s so boring they need to change the menu and the times. Service was a zero- I asked for a side of miso and the server asked me why??? Ummmm

    I'm from Oak Park but when I have a reason to visit Evanston, I try my best to include a meal at Blind Faith - and I'm not a vegetarian! The menu is eclectic and everything tastes great. I had the dolmades and enchiladas yesterday and would love to have both again today. Good service, good drinks, reasonable prices. If I lived nearby, I would definitely be a regular!

    The food here was exceptional! I literally told my daughter who lives in Evanston that I cannot wait to come back and visit so we can come back here for brunch again. From the waiter, to the food everything was truly wonderful!

    I’ve been to Blind Faith Cafe many times in the past and have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Fast forward 10 years, and the food is even better, the service is excellent and the noise level quieter. I went with two friends for lunch and I, and my friends, thoroughly enjoyed everything. The pot pie, flautas, and grape leaves were the best I’ve ever eaten. The pricing is moderate, but acceptable due to the high quality of ingredients. Highly recommended.
