One should avoid this. Any eatery I evaluate by 4 ways. 1. Food authenticity and quality 2. Ambience 3. Staff friendliness 4. Price for what you get. I grew thick skin on 2nd and 3rd items above, over the 25 years in USA, several places. Besides we cannot expect "oo la la" type of French restaurants from South Asia background. :) Anyway in all categories it was worse. There is 5th category, it took 2 days for my stomach to get rid of spiciness. No I am not a ABCD, I eat +size spicy food every day (from Rayalaseema India). I am taking time on a busy Monday work day to write this review on Yelp and Google+. Understand my commitment to make sure this one place is avoided by potential consumers.

**VISIT THIS PLACE AT YOUR OWN RISK** This place serves food that tastes good, but they serve extremely hot food in Polystyrene Cups & Plates, which is not supposed to be done. It increases the risk of getting cancer. They do it to save money and make profits. Our innocent Indian community doesnt pay heed to it, but if you go to this place often, chances are that your digestive tract will not work normally. Also, the attitude of the cashier and the way they treat their customers is not up to the mark.. I think its the owner who is the most arrogant. This place is a health hazard. Be safe guys.

I would agree with the review below. The person at the counter was not friendly at all. However the server was nice and smiled at us. We ordered South Indian Thaali. The food tasted good although it wasnt the best but who am I to complain for a price of 9.99 and such huge portion. But as soon after eating I started having upset stomach. My stomach cannot tolerate stale food. The person did not even look up as we were leaving to say Thank You. Besides we were the only costumers. How hard is it to be nice to the only costumers in the room. And it explains quite well why the place was empty.

Go to this place only if you dont care cleanliness. While customers were eating, the worker over there was sweeping the floor with dust all over the floor. He continued doing it even when customers asked him to stop. The owner sitting there didnt even bother to stop the worker from sweeping. Moreover food was not great for the price. Would never go to this place.

I love Indian food! South Indian food! being a south indian I crave food soo much! Woodlands was my favourite! but now they are losing the standard a bit! atleast for me! My stomach dint like it the last 3 times that i have been there. It cant be a coincidence everytime! They have the best sambar! but I think I can save my stomach and make it myself!

Unfortunately made a wrong call to this restaurant and realized it was a wrong call and said sorry and disconnecting the call. The person on the line was cursing in HINDI thinking i might not understand it. This is very unacceptable and did not expect this from an Indian Restaurant. I would never step a foot in this restaurant ever.

Quality of a good South Indian restaurant could be easily determined by their coconut chutney and sambar. Both these important items were subpar making the eating experience below average. We are out of town visitors and quite disappointed with the experience today. The uttappam I ordered was okay on taste though.

I wanted to love this place, but it just didnt do it for me. I dont understand how Indian food can be bland but I thought theirs was. The potatoes in my dosa had a very inauthentic buttery flavor... almost like margarine. I dont care about presentation or foam plates, but I do want my food to have flavor!

I had an order of special vegetable curry. It was very flavorful however they served there food in paper bowls and paper plates. They leave their water out and it gets warm and there are few places to sit. Overall the food was tasty but the presentation and manner in which it is served is very lacking.

Such great food and Nice people. I know nothing about this kind of food and decided to try it one day and now I am hooked. I asked the owner what i should get and he suggested the special thali and it was great. I get it every week when I am not travelling.

Went here for lunch on a weekday. Really low quality food - only thing good was the dosa. The sambar and rajan were pathetic. Quality of Thali was really bad. Even chapathis was not good and became hard very quickly. Very disappointed!

Delicious food, generous portion sizes. We loved everything we ordered: Palak panir, veg curry, and some naan-type of bread. They could use some help with decor - not pretty or cosy. More like a Circle K feel. Building was also chilly.

Poor service, poor decor, dirty bathrooms and no A.C. in the building. Food was not good. Weve been here before but wanted to give them a second chance. No improvement from before. Will not come back. Im Indian and Im not impressed.

Its been over an year now that we regularly go to this place and we are never dissatisfied with the preparation. Masala dosa is my favourite. Basically the lunch and dinner combos are pretty good and cost effective.

Cheap vegetarians food, average quality Dosa, but sambar was good. Might help keeping napkins in dispenser and direction of where to find chutney and water. May try other things but should do better with upkeep.

Pav baji - is as good as having pav with tomato soup. At least use pav baji masala. Thali - All currys sambar and side taste same, which is blant. Sweet in thali I am not sure what is it.

Good service, big selection of vegetarian options but hard to pick from if youre not familiar with the dishes. Doesnt taste as good as Indian chillies across the street though

We ordered a thali and parata. Felt less quantity in thali and parath as was like frozen one. Sambhar was only good item in thali. Chiku juice was good. I would rate 2.5.

Woodlands generously offers authentic food with excellent quality. I drive out of my way to visit Woodlands whenever I can. Makes business trips to PHX a happy occasion.

Its a no-frills type of place. Just authentic food and nice people. The food always tastes great and comes out fast. Reasonably priced. I recommend the spinach dosa!

Really cheap foam plates for serving. Taste is pathetic. I couldnt complete my lunch even though I was so hungry. I hope they will take the feed back and improve.
