Woodlands Restaurant Pure Vegetarian Indian Cuisine

We’ve been making the drive up here from Northern Virginia for a few years now and every time , I’m grateful that the taste has been consistently good. Grateful because most other places around here start out being good and then go downhill quickly! Not this place. The closest thing to authentic South Indian food around here / you can’t go wrong with the rava dosa, the uttapam, the rasa vada (crunchy and the perfect rasam) - even their Chole batura is so good! Finish it all with the perfect filter coffee . We’ll hopefully be coming here for years in the future too!

Authentic, original South Indian restaurant with a variety of vegetarian options. We had the pakoras, poori, woodland special dosa, noodles for kids along with Lassi. Everything was delicious and the service was quick. Only complaint was that the Chai ordered at the end was a bit watered down.

We recently hosted our daughter’s Arangetram and chose Woodlands in Gaithersburg to cater the event — and we couldn’t be happier with that decision! The event was held at a local school auditorium with some logistical challenges, including two separate servings: a round of snacks during a 15-minute intermission and a full dinner at the conclusion of the performance. The team from Woodlands, led by Anand, handled everything with incredible professionalism, efficiency, and grace. During the brief intermission, they seamlessly served over 100 guests, ensuring everyone was taken care of promptly while maintaining order and helping guests return to their seats on time. It was a tall ask, and they executed it flawlessly. Following the performance, they presented an entirely different, beautifu

We did a tasting at this location for our upcoming reception, which Woodlands is catering. Haroon and his staff were excellent during the tasting with their quick and attentive service, accommodating our requests, and making sure we were happy with the cuisine that would be served at the reception. It was a fun experience and it was my first time at this location (though my husband has been many times), so I appreciated being able to try the dishes before they will be served at our reception.

I had an amazing experience at this vegetarian Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish tasted authentic and comforting. The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great vegetarian Indian food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be coming back!
