🍛🚗🌟 Stepped into Woodlands Indian Cuisine and felt like I'd taken a direct flight to South Indian flavor town! Wallet-friendly and oodles of options that scream authentic and oh-so-fresh. Their Vada's? LEGENDARY. Seriously, if there was an Olympics for Vadas, these would take gold. Dive into that tomato chutney - a fresh splash of deliciousness. And the paneer dosa? Let’s just say it's become my food BFF. Four visits in two months? Yeah, I’m smitten. Hosts? Top-tier friendly. Not a fan of the boxed sweets though - they can keep those. Ambience? A solid 3.5 stars. But hey, with free parking right next door, who's complaining?
Our go to place for South Indian cuisine. It’s the best place to have dosa.. We have been here couple of times and tried most of the items and loved them all! 😃
I've traveled throughout India and have to say, they serve very Authentic Southern Indian food here and what I'd call the best dosa and idli I've ever tried in LA!
I recommend their thali plate lunch special (the idea behind a thali is to offer all the 6 different flavours of sweet, salt, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy on one single plate-wiki), tofu 65, and their dosa and idli (the probiotics within are great for calming an upset stomach!). In addition, the service is personable and genuine!

The owners of this restaurant really care about service a lot.
It’s a good restaurant with decent food overall. I really wish there was some amount of spice added to the food items.
We tried the following items:
1. Special Rava Masala Dosa: It was good. Like I said before, wish they added made it a little spicy.
2. Woodlands Special Spring Dosa: pretty average, to be honest.
3. Deluxe South Indian Thali: Again, it was pretty decent. They do offer decent portions for what they charge.
Overall, it’s a pretty decent restaurant.
I ordered delivery & I’m a picky eater (no onion no cilantro this on the side etc 🤦🏼♀️) so I had many little requests expecting none to be read or followed but everything was delivered BETTER than expected.. the taste amazing!! The instruction following perfection!!! I’m so happy as I’ve lived in Bay Area where Indian food is in abundance but moved south last year & just found this place after longing to find South Indian food for a year (as the 2 places I lived didn’t have any Indian let alone South Indian cuisine) I’m ecstatic this exceeded my expectations and I’ll be eating it as often as I can!!!
My friends and I walked into Woodlands Indian Cuisine on a weeknight without reservations and they immediately saw us down and answered all of our questions. We asked them to give us recommendations of what to get since it was the first time we were there. Everything they suggested was amazing! We highly recommend their garlic bread and there was a spicy cauliflower appetizer that was delicious. My favorite dish was the Paneer Masala. We can't wait to go back and try more things!
Woodlands is the best option for south Indian food in the valley. If you are looking for vegetarian South Indian food around the San Fernando valley (Topanga Cyn area) then try Woodland's!
Absolutely love this place. I have been visiting this restaurant since a few years now. Just cannot get enough of their tasty food. And the owner is so nice, very warm and welcoming. I appreciate their service too.
I used to visit them frequently earlier but now since I have moved quite far away, I am unable to visit this place as frequently as I would like but I still make it a point to have a meal there every time that I am driving towards the valley.
I had my plate meal very recently, attached are some pictures for your reference. I always pack some more food to go as well, lol. And their Mysore Pak, oh God, it is heaven. So yummy!!
The best part is that you can order so much food and still not make a hole in your pocket.
This is one of the best Indian restaurants in and around the LA area for sure.

Went there for a late dinner with family, they have a nice menu catering to south indian dishes mostly!
We ordered gobi Manchurian ( my favorite) and a combo .
The idlis were soft and moist , dosa was crispy and large enough for two people atleast. The sambhar could have been better i would say. Manchurian was a bit on oily side but i loved the tangy spicy taste. Overall , a good place for comfort food.
I’m South Indian. I grew up eating South Indian food regularly (and still do). Woodlands is without a doubt the best South Indian restaurant in SoCal. Everything — from the vadas to the dosas to the filter coffee — is excellent. Tastes like a meal you’d get in India.
