This is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte! The food is heavenly: super fresh and perfectly spiced. My favorite curry dish is the Paneer Makhani,. Favorite appetizer is the Paneer Pakora. The Poori bread and the Garlic Naan are to die for. The service is a little slow, but I am under the impression it's because they make your meal to order, from scratch... it's totally worth the wait.

I have eaten here 3 times so far, twice for dinner and once for buffet. I would say I am quite happy with the food here. I am a vegetarian and since this place is a vegetarian restaurant, I could chose from anything. We ordered Indo-chinese food for the dinner. Pretty delicious. Prices are also reasonable at least, as compared to other Indian restaurants in Charlotte area. Buffet had excellent variety. The biggest surprise was that they would bring freshly made dosas (stuffed with potatoes) at your table. This is unique because I have normally seen only small plain dosas served for buffet.

I've been going to Woodlands for something like 15 years. It is by far the best Indian food I have ever had anywhere I've lived. Every time I come to Charlotte, I try to go to Woodlands to get my fix. It's hard to pick a favorite dish there. Order the appetizer sampler and anything else. It's all truly delicious.

Woodlands is everything I could ever want in an Indian food restaurant. The food was excellent. I have tried malai kofta and aloo palak at many Indian food restaurants and I can confidently say that Woodlands versions of these dishes is among the best. The portions were a very descent size and there was just the right amount of spiciness to the food (if you like it hot, I recommend telling your waiter you want the food "India Spicy" , which the Indian patron sitting at the neighboring table told the waiter). The naan was cooked fresh and to perfection. The samosas were delicious.

Not only is the food excellent, the menu items are very reasonable priced. About $10 an entree and this INCLUDES rice, which typically needs to be ordered separately at Indian restaurants.

Also, the service was good. The waiter was attentive enough and the food came out very quickly. The restaurant interior is clean and to the point.

Honestly, I'm tempted to not even bother trying any other Indian food restaurants in Charlotte because I found a keeper.

I travel frequently and it is difficult to find nice family home style cooking. The food is awesome, prices great, service wonderful and the list goes on and on. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking out a Veg place to eat.

i ate the weekend lunch buffet at this out of the way, small reaturant and i was VERY pleased. when i asked the hostess what was vegan on the buffet, she took me over and showed me before we were seated. out of 19 items on the buffet, 16 were vegan!! all was hot and fresh from the tomato soup, to the uthappam, several curries, a noodle dish, and fresh chapathy. each table was also served hot masala dosas. i will most def make the 1.25 hr drive at least twice a month.

I was really worried when I moved to Charlotte that I wouldn't be able to get my South Indian fix. Luckily with a Woodlands here, I know I'll be taken care of. Pretty much all your basic south indian fare. Dosa, uttapam, idly, sambar, rasam, etc. Delicious all all veg.

Don't let the all veg scare you, I love meat and eat lots of it, but what woodlands helps you realize that a meatless meal if done as well as they do is just as satisfying.

Best Indian restaurant I've been to in the Charlotte area.

I appreciate that they serve the classics (palak paneer, malai kofta, etc), but also uthappam (think a pancakey pizza) and even some of the less seen southern Indian items, such as dosa (those comically EMORMOUS crepe-looking things you sometimes see, but never know what it is called so you never order. Yah, those).

The food is consistently tasty, well-spiced, and decently priced. And vegetarians rejoice--you can't go wrong as it is all meatless!

Plus, they have fantastic gulab jamoon for dessert--deep fried doughy cheese balls in rose water. Nom nom nom!!!!

Woodlands was oddly-enough the first exposure to Indian cuisine I ever had. It was a pleasant surprise! The food was extremely fresh and the service was wonderful. We explained our dietary restrictions to the waiter and he understood everything to a tee. Even going so far as to creating a custom buffet experience so we could get a taste for the different ingredient types and flavors.

All around a good experience which I've repeated several times and recommend anyone else looking for a good vegetarian curry to do the same.
