going to a movie in Cary and want to know of a place where we can grab quick bite before. I have to admit that I never make my way over there, so I don't know of what's going on.

Suggestions?

There's actually a bunch of great ethnic places on Chatham Street in Cary. There's 3 Indian places (Udupi, Suchi and a street food place), a Korean joint, a taqueria, and a couple of others. Which theater? If it's the independent place near Cary Town Center, these places would be perfect.

Udupi is vegetarian, and some claim it to be the best Indian in the Triangle (hell, some call it the best ethnic restaurant in the Triangle!). Suchi is not vegetarian, but it's very good.

Depends on what you're looking for. For a good beer & burger, Abbey Road Grill is hard to beat. It's a bar but there is a non smoking section with a separate entrance. It's not pretty, but the burgers are damn good.

Downtown Cary (man that's weird to type) has Cindy's House Cafe. Reviews are good, and you'll probably need a reservation. I haven't been for dinner, just breakfast, but the service was spotty. One experience was good, the second time was atrocious.

I've only been to Maximillian's (Chapel Hill Road) once but enjoyed it very much. On Buck Jones Road, the Hotpoint Cafe is supposed to be pretty good.

Is it goodgood? Or just good cause it's cheap and Indian?

I love Indian food, but have yet to find some place that I'm happy to return to.

And yes, we're going to the Galaxy.

As I said, some think it's as good as it gets -- for a vegetarian restaurant! :wink:

Make sure you get the dosas. They're really great. Word of warning, don't expect to get a beer. They don't serve alcohol nor do they allow BYOB. It's against their religion. That said, it's a wonderful meal none-the-less and they are very kind people.
