ME food has a lot of grilled meat and bread. You could probably eat a kabob. As I recall you eat beef. Hard to tell how you'd react to the seasonings. Sumac, anyone? The tomatoes are severable so you could order get one without or pick it off, depending on how averse you are.

Middle Eastern food is pretty typical Mediterranean. They don't eat pork but do eat beef, lamb, chicken and fish. They don't eat bread like we eat, they like flat bread. A typical Middle Eastern meal would be some cubes of meat cooked with mostly just salt and pepper, served with rice and a salad and some flat bread. If you like spicy - I get the impression you don't - then there are spicy stews very similar to Indian food. If you tell me what part of Fairfax, I can recommend a Middle Eastern restaurant that's not terribly expensive. We try them all. My kids, my husband, and I all are very fond of Lebanese, Persian, and Afghani cuisine. We also eat out a lot, because otherwise they eat meat and potatoes and I am tired of cooking meat and potatoes. They won't eat New Orleans style food -- the boys, I mean.
