We have some unusual restaurants, but many are quite distant from AXPONA. A good Vietnamese restaurant that's not too far is Dung Gia in Des Plaines (http://dunggiarestaurant.com).
Kabul House is a good Afghan restaurant in Skokie (http://kabulhouse.com). I think that Xni-Pec is the only Yucatecan restaurant in the Midwest, but Brookfield is quite far away. Chowpatti is a vegetarian restaurant in Arlington Heights that I like (http://www.tpsiclients.com/chowpatti), but is farther than Dung Gia or Kabul House.
