Woodlands Pure Vegetarian Indian Cuisine offers a diverse menu with a range of traditional Indian dishes. While some reviews note inconsistencies in the quality of items like utthapam and vada, the plain dosa, sambar, and coconut chutney are praised as good. The restaurant used to be decent, but some customers report a decline in food quality post-pandemic. However, other reviewers highlight the fantastic flavors, particularly in the idli, dosa, puri, and wada, as well as the impressive presentation of dishes like the okra and eggplant options. Recent visitors enjoyed the Idli sambar, paper dosa, and chole bhatura, finding them all flavorful, especially the spicy chutneys. The Samosa Chaat was very tasty, and the Mango Lassi was served in a large glass, offering good value. The Onion Chili Masala Dosa and Gobi 65 Dosa were appreciated, though some found the Gobi 65 Dosa a bit strong when paired with chutneys, suggesting it might be better shared. The staff were very friendly and attentive, creating a warm atmosphere, even when the restaurant was busy on a Sunday afternoon. Overall, guests find the hospitality unparalleled, and the menu consistently tasty, with Bindi Podimas often highlighted as a favorite.
Recent reviews highlight that the South Indian dishes taste the best, especially the bisibele bhaat and masala dosa, which are described as really good. However, some items like the medu vada, mixed veg curry, and hakka noodles did not meet expectations, with the noodles tasting strongly of ginger garlic paste and being considered the worst. Customers also noted that bottled water was charged at 50 cents, which was unexpected. The food overall was very good, with the Samosa Chaat and Masala Dosa being favorites. Visitors appreciated the friendly, helpful staff and the warm atmosphere, which included beautiful music and bhajans, making the meal a memorable experience. Some customers felt they were charged for water, despite it seeming complimentary, but the hospitality and flavorful dishes left a positive impression.
