Woodlands

“In India, where religious belief dictate[s] the diet of millions,” this eatery's Web site says, “vegetarian cooking, of necessity, has evolved into a cuisine of inspiring inventiveness.” And the fare seems to win over those raters who have commented on it so far. “This place is great for vegetarians,” says one, who says she skips Woodlands' buffet for its “menu…full of wonderful options.” Adds the rater; “[T]hey have the best mali kofta I have had yet” after trying it at “10 different restaurants.” Complaints are scarce; another rater reports “[t]he food and pricing were both quite reasonable, but the service was terrible -- the staff took forever to take our order.” But “surprisingly fresh and crisp” vegetable korma compares favorably to that dish at other area restaurants, and a variety of dosai are among the features that please the third rater, who paints a different picture of the service: “The atmosphere was jovial and it was contagious,” she says. “The service was very friendly and prompt because the lunchtime rush was minimal the day we went.”
