I worked in Danvers about 6 years ago.  If it's still there, there was 
a Chinese restaurant called Mandarin Danvers in a strip mall not too 
far from the Sylvania plant.  The food there was very good and 
reasonably priced.  The "southern-style fried rice" was very good.  
There was also a Thai (Bangkok Paradise? If this is the place that's in 
"downtown" Salem, then it's the one I remember) restaurant a short 
drive away in Salem that was pretty good.

Farther away, in the food court of the Burlington mall is an excellent 
Indian restaurant.  They make all sorts of specialty bread dishes - the 
"Peshwari Naan" (flatbread stuffed with a sweet pistachio paste) was my 
favorite.
