Just moved to CBP and yes, I hated the move just like the rest of my colleagues. The place is 'ulu', no good transportation, need to spend hours in public transport, no good food, expensive etc etc.
On the plus side, there are plenty of Indian food choices available, there is a Fairprice extra right next to office. Great. I have an excuse to get a cab on friday :)
Coming to the Indian food, below is a list for future reference.. I'll try to update if I come across any new places and am sure there will be some feedback which I can use too.
I am giving the postcode and building name instead of the complete street address to avoid any clutter.

1. Zaffron ( UE Bizhub East, South tower, S-486018)
This is near the fairprice xtra (if you walk further up) and this is not related to Zaffran @ Maxwell chambers. Initially I was mistaken that it is but confirmed there is no relation between these two.
Anyway this place is not that bad, not too crowded during peak lunch hour (12.30), and may be due to the price. Food was good but the price is higher than normal food court prices.
Most of the meals are $8. I will certainly recommend this place for a quick lunch
2. Saravana Bhavan (Plaza-08, S-486025)
Same type of food and offers strictly vegetarian. Exec set lunch seems to be popular as I can see many people during the peak hour.
For me, it's unlikely I'll end up as a regular here.
3. Ras Bites (Plaza-08, S-486025)
This is in the same Plaza building @ 2nd level. Seems this is one of the best bet for a lunch meeting with Indian guests/food. Place is good, food tastes good too. Prices are reasonable. Do a google search and you can find their menu.
4. Makan Mumbai (CITI Bank building, S-486026)
Some how I can't find this place but I was told this place exists. So will update later.
5. Sankranti (Plaza-8, S-486025)
Food is not bad, prices are ok (Set lunch @ 7.8; Buffet ~12) but the biggest issue is "service'. They seems to be busy walking fast across the place and you've to be lucky to get their attention without getting up and standing on table.
Update-1: Since my original comments, there seems to be some improvement. Will try few more times.

6. Tandoor Curry Club (Eightrium @ Changi, S-486035)
Food is acceptable and they deliver too. So can't miss this place. Phone number is 9118 7234. Delivery took around 40 min on a busy monday so I guess these guys can be trusted/counted on.
7. Kinara (UE Bizhub, S-486018)
This is a rather new opening and the food is great but not the bill :|. So you need to be 'prepared' to pay >25 for lunch; double for dinner with drinks. Somehow it doesnt appear in their website but I can assure you the place is open and running for a while.
8. Indian Curry House (Expo near Hall-4, S-)
This is a place near Expo which operates during lunch & dinner hours. Strangely the dinner hours are till 11.00 so after a late meeting @ office, you can jump in here.
Food is good but a bit on the high side for the quality. I loved the butter naan. Fish cake/cutlet wasn't that great. Rest of the items like butter chicken, tandoor etc are acceptable.
9. Indian stall @ Basement food court, Changi Citi Point
There is a stall in the Changi Citi Point. When you enter the mall from main entrance just take the downward escalator at the right hand side. That's the small food court or food area in Changi Citi Point.
Food is good but the place is damn crowded during the lunch hours. Good to give a try if you are not in a rush during the lunch break or if you can beat the peak hour crowd.
Breakfast or Evening tea / snack time is great at this place as the variety of snacks are pretty good. i.e. you can most of the items like Dosai, Samosa, Kachori etc.
10. Mr. Teh Tarik Foodcourt, Near Signature Building (or IBM or UE Bizhub)
This is another Foodcourt with an Indian stall. Perhaps the best place to grab and reasonably priced and yummy food. Down side is the crowd. The place is pretty crowded so you may need to beat it by going early or late. Food is pretty reasonable served in a big steal plate. Dishes are served in small steal utensils like thali and portion is good.
I'd recommend this place.. So far the best around.
11. Ananda Bhavan, UE Bizhub East (It's opp Fairprice or near the Nanyang coffee)
No need introduction. Not too crowded (may be not many people know this place??).
**That's all for the time being and will explore and update if I come across any new places**
