CONFLICTED - Edit
No rambling review here. This is a pleasant dine in/out restaurant. I've eaten there on numerous occasions over a period of years. I don't do so any longer.
Read moreThe food is consistently tasty.
The vegan menu is wonderful.
The staff ranges from cool professional to quite amiable.
The decor is fine.
My problem is not with the food, the staff, or the decor. I've simply encountered too many ride-alongs in my takeaway bags, containers of rice, and and foil wraps. I have seen a few dreadful things just beyond the kitchen door. If you aren't squeamish about what lurks in the back-of-house, the flavors are certainly there for you to enjoy. I simply couldn't ignore this anymore. A shame—the food really is delicious.
Pros: Flavors are amazing., Staff is pleasant., Orders are prepared quickly enough.
Cons: Kitchen., Ride-alongs... Take home guests.

Fabulous North Indian Option! - Edit
It can be so hard to find good pure-veg North Indian. Woodlands so delivers! The thali is a great value dinner!

Vegan friendly and delicious - Edit
Stopped in and knew it was a good sign that the other customers seemed to be speaking Hindi. Highly recommend this place to any veggie person looking for flavor. I had the Aloo Palak with naan, 5 stars!

Minimal Non-dairy Items available - Edit
Let me begin this review by stating that I can only imagine for a lacto-vegetarian, this place must be amazing! My husband and I went in the late afternoon, an hour or so before the buffet ended, and it was still swarming with people! We had to wait for a table, and it wasn't even the height of the lunch hour! Not only that, but it is a very popular location with people from India, which speaks to the authenticity of the food. Having said that, it is not a very vegan friendly location. While I've read reviews below that say otherwise, when I called ahead to confirm there were items we could eat on the buffet, the individual didn't seem extremely pleased to accommodate. He said he "guessed" that there may be 2 or 3 things. When we arrived, as I typically do with a vegetarian buffet, I asked one of the servers to walk me through the vegan items on the buffet. He didn't seem sure of himself, so I asked another individual to walk me through. Again, he didn't seem sure of himself (and he also was not consistent with the last server). I asked to have a manager walk me through . . . AGAIN not the same set of vegan friendly items identified. Items that should have been vegan, we were told had just a "little bit of dairy." We were able to determine that all 3 individuals had pointed to one item in common, as well as the rice. We were extremely disappointed. Had we not been a rush to make it to an appointment, perhaps we would have sat down, and gone through the menu in detail. . . or gone elsewhere.

Veg buffet is the bomb - Edit
You have been to many veg Indian restaurants, where you peruse the menu and decide what to order. If you are like me, you want to order 2 or 3 of the entrees because they are so different in flavors, but you want multiple anyhow.
Read moreYour solution is here: affordable lunch buffet that is the bomb. Ask them what is vegan, or check the menu yourself to compare. The menu is generous in having vegan items plentiful. It's nice not to worry.
My favorite vegan Indian foods are all here, because really, I just like dosas, soups (sambar!), curries and tamarind sauce. The soups are delightfully right, but flavorful. The rice is not as exciting as it could be, but nice for plain white rice. If you want more flavor, go for a biryani or rice dish.
The curries and entrees are unique for the buffet, some are not on the menu, so you actually get a better deal at the buffet! Again, just ask for what is and what is not vegan. You will be happy, because there are many choices that are vegan (about 75% of the roughly 20 choices).
Pros: Vegan marked menu, 100% veg, Unique curries
Cons: Not 100% vegan

Happy to accommodate vegans & excellent food! - Edit
This place is the best all vegetarian Indian restaurant in the area. They are always happy to work with you to make a dish vegan if it is possible. The food is always delicious and everything is very reasonably priced. It is located in the strip mall next to a K-Mart super store which is easy to locate from the highway.

Pretty Good Food - Edit
I enjoyed the buffet; not a large selection, but more than enough me (perhaps 10 dishes). Good value, tasty food.
