smackers.

noteworthy.  inexpensive middle eastern food.  large menu with the usual middle eastern fare as well as some items that i've never heard of (and didn't get a chance to try).

interesting.  large portions of extremely good middle eastern food.  stuffed grape leave, grilled lamb are excellent.

snob appeal.  low.  it's packed so make reservations.

patrons.  mixed, a lot of middle eastern folks, families, professionals, and students.

mackdaddy.  get the inside track on tasty middle eastern food, but don't stuff yourself.

is it going to hurt?  no.  my dish, consisting of 4 lamb chops, salad, rice, cost less than $12.
