Worst Indian Food I've Ever Ate! 8/1/2011

I went to Woodlands this past Sunday with my family. We went inside and my first impression was not good. While the staff was friendly and helpful, most of their clothes weren't very clean and neither was the restaurant inside. I got the hole-in-a-wall feeling right off! more

Vegetarian's Paradise 4/3/2011

I am a vegetarian. First time in the last 9 years (since I came to the US) I felt there is some respect for a vegetarian at a restaurant in the US. This place is for people who love veggie food. Nice location: easy to find, and jut enough parking space. It wasn't as crowded inside the restaurant; enough space to move around. The tables were clean, and the staff was swift and efficient. The food was delicious. The dishes were mostly south Indian. There was idly, sambar and my favorite Dosa and there were many more things that I couldn't try. I'll try them the next time. One thing for sure, you will eat a lot more than you normally do. Take your family and friends; they will love it. more

If Indians eat there, ya know it's good... 3/22/2011

This place rocks. Always packed with Desi families - that's how you KNOW it's not only authentic, but good too. Can't wait to try the lunch buffet. BTW - Your water glass will NEVER be empty. They are ON it when it comes to refilling. more

Not For Me 3/10/2011

If you are looking to dine on bread and rice, this is the restaurant for you. I ordered a soupy looking vegetarian dish meant to be put on a mountain of rice to absorb the sharp, unpleasant taste but since I didn't want the carbs I could NOT eat the $10 dish I ordered. On the other hand, I will say that the staff was courteous and helpful and the place was packed. But it's not for me. more

Great food, Atmosphere, so what? 6/15/2010

The selection of foods on the lunch buffet is extensive, flavorful, and changes daily. The staff is polite and will offer helpful hints to the inexperienced. No doubt Woodlands is my favorite Indian restaurant in Nashville. Pros: Authentic, spicy, flavorful food Cons: parking more

Best vegetarian place in Metro 5/26/2010

A fabulous Indian restaurant. The lunch buffet is matchless and a wonderful way to sample Indian delicacies. The place gets very busy but they keep up with the pace; fresh food is constantly appearing on the buffet table. They also operate the Tamarind restaurant, which serves non-vegetarian cuisine. Pros: Excellent food and service Cons: Parking can be a problem more

Slow service and fruit flys 11/24/2009

I went to woodlands for a meal with a friend the other night the food was very good but despite there only being 6 other people in the resturant the service was very slow and there were several fruit flys flying around my head. After eating the meal it took half an hour for the check to arrive. Pros: The food is good Cons: Pest problem more

Really BAD Service -- and at a buffet!! 6/22/2009

Today's lunch at Woodland's is my last. Food is always good, but service in terms of seating, etc., has always been marginal. Pros: Good Food Cons: Bad Service more

Authentic and yummy 3/22/2009

Excellent food, nice people 9/19/2008

I would have given them 4.5 starts if I could. Really good food and a great bargain. Service is good - everyone is friendly and they are helpful with the menu. Seemed like almost everyone eating there was Indian or Middle Eastern - always a good sign in my mind when eating ethnic food. The only knock is that the room itself is about as bad as it gets visually. But, if you are with good company it's not really a distraction. I will be back often! Pros: food, friendly staff, lots of selections Cons: ambience more

Best dosa in the US! 7/21/2008

My fiance took me here for my birthday and I have to say this is the best dosa I've had since leaving India and it was at par with really good restaurants in India! I know the ambience isn't perfect but we didn't care. I had my favorite paneer rava masala dosa and my fiance had their masala dosa. Both were excellent. We have found our staple restaurant in the Nashville area! Pros: great, authentic food Cons: none that we can think of more

Best South indian food 4/3/2008

If you are from South India, you would know exactly what i am talking about. I have heard about this restaurant for a while but never tried it. I took my date once there and the food was delicious. Their South indian food; Dosas and Iddlies are very authentic. mmm..mm.mm. Just loved it. The service was a little slow but they were polite. It is also an inexpensive place to eat and that is a great plus. I have been there a few times after my first encounter and i would definitely recommend this place for some great south indian food. Pros: great food, inexpensive Cons: if you are coming off 440West ya gotta know where to turn in to the parking lot. could be a pain sometimes. more

The best Indian food I've had so far 2/26/2008

I've been to almost all the area Indian restaurants and Woodlands is by far the best I have had. They bill themselves as vegetarian. However, you don't have to be vegetarian to fall in love with this restaurant. There is so much to choose from , it will please anyone. The lunch buffet changes daily and the service is really good. The decor may not be too hot, but it really doesn't matter once you've tried the fare. I do the lunch buffet at least once a week because it has such a great selection. I have done dinner twice and both times it was exceptional. OK...I sound like a commercial. It just seems that so many places have poor help or are overpriced these days...it is refreshing to find this place. Pros: The food. Even the water is filtered (I found out by eavesdropping on a server) more

yum 2/24/2008

The woodlands is delicious. Great service, generous portions and interesting choices. If you're bringing someone who isn't sure they're into vegetarian food, order #18 the Iddly Manchurian, its really delicious... and just reminiscent of meat to get them on board. Pros: delicous food Cons: the menu is hard to understand if you're not familiar with the fare more

Yum, yum, yum! 1/27/2008

I love food from India. Woodlands is where I go when I need a great meal with perfect flavors. Over the past decade I have been trying Indian food all over the nation and Woodlands is as good as I've found anywhere. Pros: Location near my home, amazing food, great pricing Cons: plates could be bigger on the buffet more

Great! 12/29/2007

This is a treasure in the Nashville restaurant scene that I am happy to have found.. Lovely vegetarian Indian dishes, you will not miss the meat. I have not had such attentive service at a restaurant in a very long time. Arrive for lunch, and you will be able to sample many different dishes on the buffet. more

Awesome Indian 9/11/2007

We've been going to Woodlands since it first opened. The food is great - especially the dosas and the uppathams and the mushroom masala - and even the pickiest kid will love the fried iddlies. The lunch buffet is something special - they have a different menu every day, so you can go every week and eat different foods. The servers are knowledgeable, and will steer Westerners away from ""Indian"" hot dishes that would be too incendiary. Pros: Excellent food; extensive menu; great lunch buffet; welcoming and homey; great value Cons: Parking more

Can't tear myself away... 3/7/2007

Since discovering this lovely eatery about a year ago, I have needed my Woodlands fix at least every week. Who cares about what color the walls are or how the tables are arranged - this place is ready to cater to every need my mouth and stomach can express. While I do believe that southern Indian food will not be to everyone's taste, it can help to do a little reading about what spices are used in the cuisine and how they are used in the cooking in order better appreciate what you are eating. Thanks to Woodlands, I rarely want to eat out anywhere else! I can't find another place in this city where vegetarian food abounds (and I'm not a vegetarian) and where I can walk away completely satisfied without overstuffing myself. Pros: food, service Cons: the space could use some work, but isn't offensive more

very impressed. 9/15/2006

i had never had indian food before, but was looking forward to trying something i KNEW was vegetarian. i first went for dinner and was kind of put off because everything sounded the same and we didnt know what to order. i went back a week later for the lunch buffett. that was the best decision i ever made. everything on the buffett was labeled, so you know what you are eating. the staff even marks on a take out menu what was on the buffett so you are prepared for trips when the buffett is not available. Pros: vegetarian, quiet Cons: parking more
