Woodlands

Worst Indian Food I've Ever Ate!

by JohnC76 at Citysearch

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!

Also, the waiter recommended the buffet (I usually pass on any restaurant buffet, but this is Indian food - how can you mess this up?).

So I make my plate and come back and start trying everything. I'll tell you to be short, 90% of it was horrible! It definitely wasn't fresh, nearly tasted like leftovers from the week that they pawn off at the buffet.

The water, pass on it. TN drinking water doesn't taste good and this stuff is not filtered - right out of the tap! Yuck! Now if you're used to tap water and never drink filtered or distilled, you won't know the difference. lol

My wife is from California and is very well seasoned in Indian food (and Vegan and Vegetarian food) and she also rated this as some of the worst tasting Indian food she has ever eaten.

So, avoid this place if you have a pallet and a love for good Indian Cuisine because you will be disappointed. At the very least, avoid the buffet and maybe ordering off the menu is better?

Good Luck!

Vegetarian's Paradise

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.

If Indians eat there, ya know it's good...

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.

Not For Me

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.

Great food, Atmosphere, so what?

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
