There are much better Indian restaurants around for the same value. This place seems to have rested on its laurels with average service and not very good food.

Avoid this place, seriously. It's hard to briefly describe all that is wrong with this place, so I will list them: arrogant and snobbish manager, treats you as an inconvenience (if you are angry and disgruntled in your job mate, go get a new one). Inexperienced and inattentive staff (standing around in a huddle talking instead of tending to tables). Worst Indian food I have had - two of the curries were like soup and tasted of nothing ('seasonal' vegetable curry was literally a handful of pieces of white potato in a soup - see photo. The lentil curry was 10% lentils and 90% soup - for £8, what a bargain!). They forgot the side salad we ordered (he didn't write our order down, surprise!), when we reordered it it came looking like it had been improvised. Smallest serving of rice I have ever received. When I was asked how everything was and I told the truth, the waiter didn't apologise and instead argued that the curries are soupy by 'definition'. No discount or compensation offered. Paid £40, left unfulfilled and went and filled up on oreos and crisps from Tesco. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

The host and the waiters are all very accommodating and helpful when asked about vegan options and recommendations of what to try. The gods is delicious and the home made lemonade is out of this world refreshing!!! The only downside to the place is that your clothes will smell of spices but honestly, it was worth it for me since the food was amazing.

Although food was above average, my overall experience wasn't that great. Place is easy to find. Nice and quite corner, decent decor and friendly greeting. I didn't bok a table, yet was accommodated. Ordered a Nibu Pani mojito and Delhi thali. So far so good. Drink was okay. Portion of curries in the thali are tiny. Paneer Tikka masala tasted nice, so did Daal Makhani. Chana masala was average. I don't like half cooked rice. Naan was good. Curry portion wasn't enough so I ended up ordering a full portion of the Curry additionally. Plus 12.5% service charge. My bill went too high. If I revisit, will only order a naan and a curry and see if that changes my view. Till then I can't offer more than 3 stars.

Accommodating a large table booking and delivering delicious food to everyone, in sync, is no mean feat. Woodlands did it without a hitch. I’ll definitely be back (maybe even on my own for a selfish treat!).

Best tasting South Indian food outside India, can't wait to return!

All of the food is vegetarian, but it was still very tasty. The service was prompt and I really have no complaints.

Fantastic well flavoured real south indian cuisine. Great service. Fair price.
