Chani's Indian Restaurant

Do not allow the modest exterior dissuade you from entering this restaurant. It is actually quite nicely decorated inside with a classic Indian theme, and the food is just as good. Open for lunch, dinner and what they call a "late dinner," Chani's offers authentic Indian cuisine for everyone. Their lunch buffet is definitely the best deal you're going to get here--as of 2009 it was $10.95 for an all-you-can-eat buffet of Indian favorites.

Poppy's Luncheonette

Open for breakfast and lunch only, this is a great and inexpensive place for a quick bite. This restaurant is more for take out than dine in, but you can feel free to sit at one of the tables and eat. Be warned, however, that Poppy's accepts only cash for purchases.
