I'll list my favorites:

Cedars: great Middle Eastern (Labanese) food, decent prices, good
	atmosphere

Tuly's: cheaper Middle Eastern, not quite as tasty, atmosphere not
	quite as nice, great for when you get falafel cravings

Govinda's: best description is strange (but pretty good) vegetarian
	food. It's a pay one price, eat as much as you like. Run by
	Hari Krishnas, so if you don't like the organization don't
	go. Also features occasional "concerts" of people carrying
	cymbals and drums.

Marrakesh: a feast. Fixed price (I think $25/per person), go hungry
	and expect to spend alot of time there in close company with
	those you go with (and those at nearby tables). Almost more of
	an experience than a meal, despite having fansatic food. If
	you've got the time & money and aren't overly self-conscious,
	you have to see this place.

Pizzeria Uno: yeah, I know this is a chain place, but still pretty
	good

TGI Fridays: also a chain, pretty decent food (all types of food) at
	reasonable prices, but very noisy and very crowded Friday
	and Saturdays.

Note: I know where all these places are (except Marrakesh, which has
been very hard to find both times I've gone to it), but I figure
you're better off getting directions from the places themselves.

That's all I can think of for now. Happy eating!
