I'm not sure what one should make of this, but the worst food I've
ever had was at Amitabul.  It tasted like cardboard and I honestly
couldn't believe vegan food could be made this bad (I love vegan food
and have had many good meals at Chicago Diner and many spots in NY).
This could've been a fluke but there are some similar experiences
posted on yelp:

... yet it still gets 4 stars on yelp and got that good review on
Metromix which I find mind-boggling.

I think the most useful restaurant listings will be ones off the Blue
Line since I presume most people will want to take the train.  I sent
in a list of all the Blue Line restaurants I know but that only
covered the Logan Square, Damen, and Division stops.  Hopefully some
other people know of some more, perhaps off the stops closer to
O'Hare.
