Welcome in advance! I mostly go out to eat in SF and the East Bay so these opinions are centered around those areas.
Arsicault has excellent croissants. Their almond croissants are very good too.
If you like Dosa (I haven’t been yet), maybe also check out Udupi Palace in the Mission in SF, which has some good dosas and other South Indian dishes. Vik’s in Berkeley makes a pretty good masala dosa as well and has good chaat dishes. I particularly like their balloon sized bhature.
Re: Middle Eastern restaurants, recently I like Beit Rima.
