In response to tg's list of any ethnic-ish restaurants under Indian food, let's separate some out, shall we?
La Mediterranee is the best IMO. They catered our wedding. http://www.lamediterranee.net
I was also very impressed with Good Frickin Chicken on Mission.
Dish Dash is good Middle Eastern (southern Mediterranean - don't want to mix things up too much our I'll sound like tg ) in Sunnyvale.

Still trying to find a decent falafel here in Fremont. There's a place at the hub I used to go to sometimes, but I haven't been there forever and I can't remember the name. There's a new place about to open just down the street, so fingers are crossed.

+1 on La Med and Frickin'. I would like to add Yaya Cuisine (now in Burlingame, formerly in SF) to that list. Some truly (pleasantly) surprising meals. They bill themselves as a "Mesopotamian" restaurant since "Iraqi" doesn't pull 'em in off the streets.
For shawarma and falafel, Truly Mediterranean on 16th Street is A-OK with me, too.

I don't know about L.A., haven't found a place out here -- and given that I'm sticking to 1200 calories or less per day, probably best not to find a place!
But when I'm visitng Chicago on business, I would leap to go to Sayat Nova: http://www.sayatnovachicago.com/menu.html. The cheese boreg and jajik are both real treats.

It's one of those cramped, no-reservations, 20+ min. wait, S.F. to-die-for restaurants. Take a friend and get the Meza platter and a mint tea.

Oh, yes, my friend. That is a regular haunt for me and Miss B. We regularly split the mezza platter and rarely finish the whole thing. Mint tea with dinner, Turkish coffee afterward. Don't call it "Turkish" coffee, though, as the owners are Armenian.
To cap off the evening, Citizen Cake has a cafe across the street...

We went to the one on Noe mostly, but that was nearly 2 decades ago. That was the first time we tried the Fillmore one.
You can take B for your next anniversary....

The one in Berkeley has a different menu -- that's good. Variety.
