The co-mingled aromas of incense and homespun masalas ignite diners' palates upon entering this unassuming operation on commercial OBT, a favorite of locals, particularly those who work in the area and make it a regular lunch stop. Woodlands serves a vast, all-vegetarian menu, but much of its repeat business comes in the form of omnivores who, luxuriating in the menu's rich flavors, don't miss the meat at all. Woodlands' week-day lunch buffet, while not as massive as what many of us have come to expect from this dining genre, is more the adequate and well stocked with soup, salad and an array of traditional South Indian dishes. What's extra nice is the friendly, family-run atmosphere and slightly more formal setting â€" real glassware, for example. Diners are welcome to order from the regular menu, as well.
