If you like Indian food, Roti Indian Bistro is a really good restaurant in the heart of downtown Burlingame (they also have a location in SF)
Here is their website

*Their Lamb Korma curry is super yummy, and their Keema Naan bread is not to be missed

If you are hankering for some authentic Dim Sum, then Fook Yuen in Millbrae is a MUST! Forget all the dim sum joints in Chinatown, they cater to the tourist, and most of the stuff they serve you is frozen from pre-packaged stuff they buy at the factories.

You can call ahead for a "number". On Saturdays they are SUPER packed with lines waiting out the door. If you get a number ahead of time, call in and tell them your estimated time of arrival. The food is delish (if you aren't hard-core, avoid the chicken feet
). It's worth braving the crowds for. 
*If you go on a week day for dim sum, it is MUCH more civilized. Best hours for dim sum are 11:30am thru 1:30 pm. After 1:30, the selection might not be as good, as the kitchen starts winding down on production.
Good luck!
