I don’t recall how I heard about this restaurant, but I’m sure glad I did. The food is outstanding, the service is great and the prices are right.
Two members of our family are pescatarians, so this place was magic for them.
The rest of us were completely surprised by the taste and presentation of the food.
We each ordered something different, and every dish was extraordinarily.
We cannot wait to return again, and again!!

"Globally Inspired Vegetarian Cuisine" is their tagline - very appropriate for this restaurant. Easy walking distance from many places in town, too. They actually offer breakfast items on the lunch menu as well, which was fun. I liked the enchiladas verdes - but there's so much more to try, will have to go back when I'm in town again.

We were so happy to find this great vegetarian restaurant -- the wide variety of entrees made chosing dinner a little difficult, but we were all delighted with our entrees, even my meat-eating son. The portion size on the appetizers was on the small side, but the entrees were enormous. Dessert was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!

I feel so torn writing this. As a vegan, I was glad there was a place with options for me. But I did feel it was quite expensive and not enough vegetables. They charged us $13 so our kids could have some broccoli with their "chicken" nuggets -- that seemed outrageous to me (and those nuggets were $8 and they were just fried tofu or something with some ketchup). We also felt that the dishes, such as rice and noodles, were mostly carbs and not much veg. So it seemed a lot of money for items that were actually pretty cheap and not so healthy.
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, though.

My husband and I are not vegan or vegetarian, but, we wanted to try this restaurant after reading so many great revues. It did not disappoint. The staff was attentive, food interesting and we will certainly return our next visit to Evanston.

We hadn't been to Blind Faith in years and apparently not much has changed. The decor is dingy and drab. It was very empty on a Saturday night. We ordered four different dishes but none were exceptional. The potstickers' sauce was very watery. The Kung Pao dish was the best of the entrees we ordered. We miss the hummus that used to be on the menu.

I visited with four other people. We all shared 4 appetizers. Those we DELICIOUS! I am vegan so I only ha two of the four (dumplings and Brussels spouts) but I really enjoyed them. Entrees were just okay. Thai peanut noodles were very good. Kung Pao was AMAZING! Seitan Marsala was just okay. The veggie burger fell apart. The one disappointment was teriyaki fried rice. It was bland at best. We had desserts to go. I absolutely loved their vegan apricot brandy torte. Four stars because some food was just bland. And our server was not very good. She did not check on us at all. We waited a long time for everything but drinks. And we watched her chit chat with her friends and text on the phone. Would still come back but order only the things I know are good.

Whooo so good - the salads are amazingly fresh and the souses too. The main Mongolian stir fry was fantastic. Really liked the place and service was fast and good. Will certainly come back when I’m in a the area again

We like to stop here whenever we're in town. I had the excellent vegan lentil soup with an order of crispy sweet potato fries. My friend had the Thai Peanut noodle dish with tofu. He really enjoyed it. It's a relaxing place to have lunch.

I have gone to Blind Faith every timeI have visited Evanston for many years. . Never been disappointed. The enchiladas are the bomb. Last time I had the vegetable pot pie which was perfect comfort food.

They were able to make all the children's meals vegan, which was nice (but note that they are missing prices for the drinks and desserts on the children's menu, so it looks like they're included, but they definitely are not).
Just be aware that they use honey in some dishes that are labelled vegan, so you may need to ask about that.
The staff are very friendly, and we liked everything we had.

Our party of 6 (1 vegan, 1 vegetarian, 4 carnivores) had dinner here and could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone raved about their entrees -- from peanut noodles to enchiladas to salads -- and the service was great. Our waitress (Adrianna, I think) was terrific -- in addition to taking care of everyone at the table, she was completely on top of my daughter's extensive food allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and egg) and made her feel completely safe. Highly recommend!
