Woodlands Express

Was visiting fort Lauderdale on business, and a colleague of Indian descent suggested this when I mentioned Dosas. Simple basic decor in a strip mall type location, put the Dosas what are some of the best I've ever had! Crisp yet soft with a delicious batter, and filled with interesting spices. Accompanied by some of the best coconut chutney and other South Indian delicacies I've ever had. Reasonably priced with large portions, run don't walk if you like this kind of food or wanted to try it, take it for someone that loves Indian food and has eaten it in many countries across more than 40 years. As spicy as you want it so be clear 🤪💯🌞

We ordered food from this restaurant while driving back from Miami. Due to heavy traffic, we arrived about 10 minutes after the restaurant had closed. Even so, the staff patiently waited for us without showing any rudeness, which we truly appreciated. This was our first time trying a South Indian restaurant, and we were genuinely impressed. The food was absolutely delicious, with amazing flavors and excellent quality. The service was exceptional, and the kindness of the staff made our experience even more memorable. Highly recommended—we'll definitely be back!

Woodlands Restaurant was a good overall experience. A major highlight for me was that it’s a pure vegetarian place, which meant they could offer more Jain-friendly options. The staff was very accommodating and considerate in customizing dishes according to my Jain dietary restrictions, which I really appreciated. The food overall was tasty and satisfying. A small downside was the portion size, which felt a bit on the smaller side. Also, the curry seemed to have a slightly higher amount of food coloring, as it ended up staining my fingers for quite some time. On the positive side, parking was available and free of charge.

We tried the South Indian thali and the Mysore thali, and both were very generous in quantity and full of authentic flavors. If you’re visiting as a couple, honestly one Mysore thali is more than enough, the appetizers alone are quite filling. You can easily share one thali and add a couple of extra dishes to round out the meal. Great food and excellent value!

We ordered the idli, paper masala dosa, and chana bhatura, and it was absolutely worth the 20-minute detour. The paper masala dosa was thin, crisp, and generously filled, served with flavorful chutney and sambar. The idli was soft and fresh. The chana bhatura was the standout — the chana was perfectly spiced, rich, and full of flavor, and the bhatura was soft and fluffy. Easily one of the best chana bhatura we’ve had. Simple presentation and authentic flavors made the food really enjoyable. However, I’m giving 4 stars because the dishes didn’t come out together — one dish arrived much earlier, and there was a noticeable wait before the others were served.
