‘‘Rarely thought of as a bastion of cheap eats, Paymon’s Mediterranean Cafe indeed offers plenty that slides in under our $15 ceiling. I always waffle here — should I get the kibbe platter ($12.95), for my recommended allowance of tasty wheat-and-meat balls? Or the salmon (13.95), with a nod to the healthy qualities of fish? Then I break down and order one of the raft of tasty kabobs ($11.95 and up) — usually the chicken. But regardless of what I choose to order for dinner, one thing will always remain the same: Before making any decision, I have to order a plate of Paymon’s fresh hummus, served with freshly baked pita bread and olives. Better than cheap, it’s delicious.” —Scott Dickensheets
