"Woodlands is a vegetarian restaurant beloved by both carnivores and vegetarians. A big reason is its use of big, bold flavors — easily found in their soups. Staples include traditional Indian rasam, a spicy tomato-based soup, and sambar, a vegetable stew made with lentils. The chef’s special is the umami-packed hot and sour soup made with ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. But the sleeper hit is the zesty coconut-tomato, made with coconut milk and perfumed with Indian spices." - Ashley Brantley, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
