There is a competitor whose domain name is like this restaurantsinchicago.com and when I search at Google Restaurants in Chicago the first result is that site and it appears at the right side where Google Business are shown as Restaurants in Chicago with his image because he named his company with that name also in Google My Business this obviously has great advantage over the other competitors. My question is if you can name your business in Google My Business in such way because your domain name is also named like that?
Can you name your business in Google My Business as a search query term if your domain name is also named like that?

No, you are categorically not allowed to title your business name on Google My Business (formerly Google Places and Google Local Business) with anything other than your physical registered business name even if your domain name is something different.Google's quality guidelines for local business confirm this:Your name should reflect your business real-world name, as used consistently on your storefront, website, stationery, and as known to customers.
