It's hard to overstate charms of this midtown gem, which dishes up terrific middle eastern grub at irresistible, dirt-cheap prices. With tables jammed together, hanging fixtures throwing a soft glow, the room seduces, but the food is the real star.

It would be simple to make a meal of the hot vegetarian apps: tender, smoky cauliflower dressed with tahini, custard-textured fried eggplant dresed with lemon and garlic.
