Woodlands

We have been to Woodlands many times, and overall the food and service have been great. Today when my family went, we ordered a masala dosa, a plain dosa, medhu vada, and veg fried rice. Both the dosas were amazing. The vada was slightly dry, but tasted good. The fried rice was also nice, however in my opinion, the dosas were the best. With the dosas and the vada, they served sambar and coconut chutney. Both tasted very good. I especially liked the coconut chutney, which was one of the best I have had in a while. All of the food portions were very large and satisfying. The service today as well was also very great. After we were seated, they took our order quickly and and accommodated to our needs. It only took about 15 minutes for the food to come after that, and the restaurant was completely full. However, in the past, my family has faced problems with nut allergies. My sister and I both have nut allergies, and many of the chutneys and dosas contain nuts. Now, my sister only has the fried rice because it is one of the few items that are 100 percent nut free. This may have changed now as we have not had this problem for a while. Overall though, the food was fantastic and the service was very good. I would recommend this restaurant, especially for its dosas.

Loved the authentic karnataka flavors in Mysore Royal Thali. It would have been 100% if it was sona masoori rice instead of basmati :)

Woodlands in Orlando has been my go-to spot for the past 7 years, and they’ve never once disappointed! The modest ambience may not scream fine dining, but the food absolutely speaks for itself—lip-smacking and truly unforgettable. Their medu vada with sambar is perfection—crispy outside, fluffy inside, and the sambar is so flavorful it rivals (and even beats!) versions I’ve had in Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. That’s saying something! I also tried the chole bhature, and wow—the chole had a unique twist, with a curry base reminiscent of paneer tikka masala. Surprisingly, it worked beautifully with the fluffy bhature. Unexpected but delicious! Don’t miss their chai either—aromatic, strong, and comforting. At 4, it’s a little on the pricey side, but worth the indulgence. If you're in Orlando and craving authentic Indian vegetarian food, Woodlands should be your first stop. It’s mine every single time!

We visited this place upon a friends suggestion, the place was packed and we had to wait for about 40 min. Once we got a table we ordered the following. 1. Mysore masala dosa - the dosa was thin and a had a spicy chutney with a mellow and soft potato filling, the dosa was accompanied by green coconut chutney and South Indian canara style sambar. This was amazing and a must try 2. Onion and peas uthappam - the uthappam was loaded with onions which were caramalized perfectly and had a good amount of green peas, the texture and of the uthappam was perfect and also came with green coconut chutney and south canara style sambar. 3. Bisibelebath - The BBB was perfect and was made with in house masalas, the spice level was accurate and had a decent amount of ghee topping. This came with raita boondi and papad. 4. Sambar vada - Sambar was poured over two vadas and tasted awesome, this was one of the 2 appetizers we ordered. 5. Dahi vada - Vadas were laced with cold sweetened yogurt and had a cilantro dressing, this was the other appetizer we ordered. 6. Rava onion masala dosa - this was a chart topper, the dosa was crisp and had the potato filling. This was one of the best dosas we had so far. The woodlands reminded us some of the top breakfast spots from Bengaluru. The items were great and the service was very fast. Will definitely visit this place again.

Good food, good service. I highly recommend this vegetarian restaurant. This restaurant is flexible, able to cook dishes without garlic and onion. Suggesting to expand their restaurant since their business is so good. Suggest to cook dishes with less salt, will be good for health. Nice environment after refurbishment. The Indian coffee is good too.

Food and service were excellent. We have dietary issues, and the server was understanding and helped us. Well definitely return.

Great place to dine out in Orlando, Florida. Good staff and food are delicious. Thank you.
