1. Masala Grill
They lowered the price here to $10 for the lunch buffet, I am thinking to stay in comp with the new one opened on Witherspoon.
This place is still the best Indian in town, but the quality has gone down from when a year ago. They offer Chicken Tikka…More »

I've been here many times (I work in Princeton), so here's a general overview of all the times I've… Read more »
2. Hoagie Haven
First, cash only. Second, if you've been in/around Princeton, you know that this place is expensive. But this (along with George's Roasters) is not expensive.
You should order by number here. They'll get the base (size, meats), then you tell them…More »
3. Viburnum Designs
Ok for the flowers. They looked good, but I wasn't impressed. I had 12 stems and for the price I was paying, I felt like it should've popped more. The service was nice, but not sure if that makes up for it. I suppose being in Princeton does…More »
4. Tandoori Bite
I love eating here. The service is great. The lunch buffet is plentiful, with many choices. Never have I gone up and something out of stock. They always keep it stocked.
Also, very important, they are not stingy with the naan. Plentiful naan,…More »

Great lunch buffet. The service is awesome. Go support this local business, you will not be… Read more »
5. Winberie's Restaurant & Bar
Can't really beat the location of this bar/restaurant now. The prices are fine for Princeton, especially being within Palmer Square.
I had dinner here for the first time last week, it was A-OK (like my rating suggests!). Ordered some pasta with…More »
6. Iano's Rosticceria
I eat here quite often when I go into work. It's a local pizza place that is fast and pretty good (selection and taste).
I will say the first time I ever had it, I would've given it 5 stars. I had gotten the baked ziti pizza, and it was divine. The…More »
7. Conte's Bar
I come here every so often when my boss's decides to get pizza for the company. I personally think the pizza here is completely overrated.
The pizza is thin crust, and has a good texture to it. The cheese is thin, and is overpowered by the tomato…More »
8. Chuck's Spring Street Cafe
Chucks is good for comfort food. Just don't expect it to comfort your stomach.
I'd say they'd have the best wings in Princeton. Very good. No complaints. The chicken fingers look funny, but I'm a fan (they give you a lot, but very greasy). My…More »
9. Tortuga's Mexican Village
Anytime I come to Tortuga's, it's a good time. I like it here. Food's good, the food's plentiful, it's fast, and did I mention it is good?

Yum. Steak sandwich, you were so good even though I wasn't hungry. Stop tasting so good, so I can… Read more »
10. Witherspoon Bread Company
The prices are a bit expensive (baguette - 2.40, palmiere 1.70, plain croissant 2), but I think they taste good. The croissant is flaky yet fluffy, the baguette is hit or miss (sometimes reminds me of the baguettes I ate in Paris - divine), and the…More »
11. Tomo Sushi of Princeton
I came here yesterday on the strength of Yelp reviews and being on a diet. Sushi is healthy (as long as you don't overdo the tempura and sauces!), and very low in calories, so I got the lunch special of a tuna roll and a salmon roll. The special…More »
12. Pizza Star
Read my other reviews! It's basically the same. Pizza is best in area. I like it so much more than Conte's.
What does piss me off about this place is their drink sizes. The small is the smallest of the small. The medium is more like a small. And…More »

Pizza Star is good. The white pizza is delicious. The crust is good. The bread is a bit more… Read more »
13. Zen Modern Asian
Perfectly fine Japanese food during lunch. The shrimp tempura was very good, but the chicken teriyaki was just boiled chicken with some sauce on it. Bland, and felt uninspired.

Wanted some dessert prior to working. Got to town early and with bosses out of town, figured why not have a nice breakfast.
The fare is very average. The service is below average. Maybe I will remember this next time, and not come here. You'd…More »

Somewhat slow service. By somewhat, I mean very. Did not refill my coffee.
I'll say that this is in… Read more »
15. D'Angelo Italian Market
You know those times when you have an hour for lunch, but you don't want to spend 20-30 minutes walking/ordering? You want something fast so you can maximize your lunch hour? Well, I have those feelings all the time, but I will usually spend that…More »

The sandwiches here are legit, and much cheaper than Olive's. They make the sandwich in front of… Read more »
16. Princeton Barber Shop
Fast, nice, and accommodating. Came here during my lunch break, and it was fast enough to still have lunch. Will continue to come back. $20.
17. Burrito Royale
My old saying "if a place looks like crap, is out in the middle of nowhere, and has been open for a long ass time, it HAS to be good" has failed me here.
The food here is quite...subpar. I was full on expecting gut busting burritos, quantity sized…More »
18. Quiznos Subs
I ordered a $5 sandwich. I wasn't allowed to have mustard on it instead of mayo. No mustard. What's that about? Is mustard expensive compared to mayo?
Not going back. Word of note - there's honey mustard on the side. Stupid.
