A New York-Style Pizza Shop Lands in Verdun | Eater Montreal

"Framed as one of the old-school haunts on Wellington that Brook is positioned to counterpunch, representing the neighbourhood's existing pizza options." - Valerie Silva

Me and my wife went here for lunch and it was nice experience. We ordered Gobi Manchurian it was crispy but the sauce was bit off. I have eaten at this place several times the same appetiser but the quality of the sauce is going down and then we had South Indian Thali and Royal Mysore South Indian Thali. It was good. This place is really nice and I highly recommend it !!!

Great food & service. Tandoori Momos were great! No lunch buffet but apparently that’s not common around here unless it’s the weekend.

This review is specific to veg thalli that I had on 8/3 evening. Not sure if this the same everyday or just today. Rice is not cooked 100%, curries has no salt and taste, dal is ok like you boil and serve, the only thing that I liked is sweet it’s awesome. I wouldn’t recommend veg thalli in woodland.

Woodlands in Orlando has been my go-to spot for the past 7 years, and they’ve never once disappointed! The modest ambience may not scream fine dining, but the food absolutely speaks for itself—lip-smacking and truly unforgettable. Their medu vada with sambar is perfection—crispy outside, fluffy inside, and the sambar is so flavorful it rivals (and even beats!) versions I’ve had in Chennai, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. That’s saying something! I also tried the chole bhature, and wow—the chole had a unique twist, with a curry base reminiscent of paneer tikka masala. Surprisingly, it worked beautifully with the fluffy bhature. Unexpected but delicious! Don’t miss their chai either—aromatic, strong, and comforting. At $4, it’s a little on the pricey side, but worth the indulgence. If you're in Orlando and craving authentic Indian vegetarian food, Woodlands should be your first stop. It’s mine every single time!

We visited this place upon a friends suggestion, the place was packed and we had to wait for about 40 min. Once we got a table we ordered the following. 1. Mysore masala dosa - the dosa was thin and a had a spicy chutney with a mellow and soft potato filling, the dosa was accompanied by green coconut chutney and South Indian canara style sambar. This was amazing and a must try 2. Onion and peas uthappam - the uthappam was loaded with onions which were caramalized perfectly and had a good amount of green peas, the texture and of the uthappam was perfect and also came with green coconut chutney and south canara style sambar. 3. Bisibelebath - The BBB was perfect and was made with in house masalas, the spice level was accurate and had a decent amount of ghee topping. This came with raita boondi and papad. 4. Sambar vada - Sambar was poured over two vadas and tasted awesome, this was one of the 2 appetizers we ordered. 5. Dahi vada - Vadas were laced with cold sweetened yogurt and had a cilantro dressing, this was the other appetizer we ordered. 6. Rava onion masala dosa - this was a chart topper, the dosa was crisp and had the potato filling. This was one of the best dosas we had so far. The woodlands reminded us some of the top breakfast spots from Bengaluru. The items were great and the service was very fast. Will definitely visit this place again.

Woodlands is a pretty mediocre Indian restaurant in Orlando. It almost feels as if it was one of the original spots for Indian food here, and unfortunately, as more Indian restaurants have moved to the OBT area, it’s quite a bit outdated compared to others. We have been to a majority of Indian restaurants in Orlando, and pretty much all of the ones right nearby Woodlands, and I can’t see a scenario where I would recommend this restaurant over others like Gully, Bombay and Khasiyat, unless those places are closed. There wasn’t anything inherently wrong with this place, and a few things we ordered were quite good, but we weren’t “amazed” by anything. The malai kofta was our favorite dish we ordered, the gobi manchurian with gravy is something you should pass on, and the mixed appetizer platter was pretty good, but some things on the platter weren’t our favorite. The batura bread was quite good, so I can assume other breads like naan would be good here as well. The service was kind of weird here - you have to waive down waiters and waitresses to get them to come to your table for bill, but at the same time they’re just staring at you from across the restaurant and it’s sorta awkward. Also, the exterior of the building is quite dilapidated, and it doesn’t have an inviting atmosphere. They should definitely do some updating to make it more appealing. Overall, we would probably try this place again, but only if we were in the area, and places like Gully, Bombay, and Khasiyat weren’t open.

The food was nice and crunchy but I felt like the food was lacking more flavor and seasoning. The Manchurian was good but I got a couple of them which were not cook well from the center. And the noodle was very mid I had a lot of indo Chinese but this was bad. But the service and everything was great.

We have been to Woodlands many times, and overall the food and service have been great. Today when my family went, we ordered a masala dosa, a plain dosa, medhu vada, and veg fried rice. Both the dosas were amazing. The vada was slightly dry, but tasted good. The fried rice was also nice, however in my opinion, the dosas were the best. With the dosas and the vada, they served sambar and coconut chutney. Both tasted very good. I especially liked the coconut chutney, which was one of the best I have had in a while. All of the food portions were very large and satisfying. The service today as well was also very great. After we were seated, they took our order quickly and and accommodated to our needs. It only took about 15 minutes for the food to come after that, and the restaurant was completely full. However, in the past, my family has faced problems with nut allergies. My sister and I both have nut allergies, and many of the chutneys and dosas contain nuts. Now, my sister only has the fried rice because it is one of the few items that are 100 percent nut free. This may have changed now as we have not had this problem for a while. Overall though, the food was fantastic and the service was very good. I would recommend this restaurant, especially for its dosas.

Food is really authentic. We went about four times when we visited Orlando. Even the owners and the staff were wonderful and good ambiance. We wished and asked them to open their location in Philly

Got charged $15 (incl. gratuity) for Bagala Bath that is terrible (not mentioning other items that were ok ok), , it's frozen yogurt (brought brain freezes couple of times), mixed with super dry basmati rice (almost near to being crispy). I wish restaurant manager should have hinted us that it's not a popular choice neither would be made fresh, but is an item just to answer an adhoc request from customer in a lame and lazy way of preparation. Please try to make an extra effort to warn the customer next time than fooling them, I loved this restaurant food few times, Just fails to give a consistent good experience (so, luck be on your side), and this time bad luck hit it to worst experience. Not to mention, the difference in addressing different guests in different ways (discrimination is probably a too heavy loaded word for this). Thanks.

The dosa is great and the rasam it comes with is even better. Service was good, food came out quickly. We were in and out within one hour, which I like. Spacious seating arrangements.

I used to live by Woodlands Indian Cuisine and would visit all the time. I moved across town and still drive all the way over for their food. (That's how good it is.) Probably the best Indian you can find in Orlando. (Believe me I've looked for closer places.) My husband and I are constantly impressed with the food we get here. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone. I love the tandoori chicken, the lamb vindaloo, and the chicken Madras. The naan is also delicious. The service is always friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very casual but inviting. I highly recommend Woodlands Indian Cuisine to anyone looking for great Indian food in Orlando.

Came to woodlands after 10 long years!!! And the food was just as incredible as it was the first time I came here! It was a Thursday night, so not many people. Service was pretty quick and lots of seating available! We ordered Gobi Manchurian, chole bhature, and plain dosa (not pictured). Gobi Manchurian was good but it was missing flavor. It was spicy but not really tangy, so it did feel incomplete. The chole bhature is what this place is known for!!! The bhatura is fluffy and giant and PERFECTTTT for 1 person! The chole here is so so yummy! It almost tastes exactly like india which is hard to find in the states. I will say this is probably the best chole bhature I've had outside of India!! They missed out on cilantro on mine, which was a little sad, but the flavor made up for it haha. The dosa was also very very good! It was crispy and light and served with sambar and coconut chutney! Both were AMAZINGG! Forgot how good the dosa here is! If you're looking for AMAZING South Indian food as well as top knotch chole bhature, this is the spot!!!!

One of the best Indian places I've been to in a while! The service was quick and the place was set up quite classy. Every single dish was delicious and hit the spot. The garlic naan was fluffy and flavorful. I got the Aloo Channa which most of my party said was their favorite. They also brought out an extra dish, but since we all forgot the names of what we ordered, they let us keep it. We had leftovers for days! I also tried dosai for the first time and it was so yummy. My cousin said he used to have it with his roommate's family and it was very true to taste.

The food here is incredibly authentic! To note-Vegetarian but that doesn't detract from the food AT ALL. Came here with my girlfriend and we shared a spinach curry, a dosai stuffed with spices and potatoes along with garlic naan. We barely spoke a word to each other the food was so good! They have great service and if you pay in cash you actually get a discount so highly recommend you bring cash. You also know the place is good when it's packed with Indian people. The place has a homey ambience, think it's a refurbished fast food joint. I think the food was fantastic but will say the naan was prepared slightly different compared to my preference which is more of a bready consistency similar to the crust of pizza. Crispy on the outside but soft and doughy on the inside. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Indian food!

The masala dosa, non-spicy version of the Cheese dosa and uttapam were terrific. The menu had a number of other tempting items but we were not that hungry. We were there on a Friday evening and the place was packed with lines out the door. Parking was certainly limited in their private lot. We got lucky with our timing. Highly recommend based on this visit.

Hands down, best meal I've had in forever! So heart warming, cozy and delicious. It's been years since I've been here and I got to share it with my friend for their first time! We left so stuffed and happy! We started with the appetizer plate, which gives you a little bit of everything to share. We chose the Aloo Gobi and Vegetable Korma curries, which came with white rice. Definitely get the garlic naan and batura (the large puffy bread). We got the Batam halwa for dessert. I'll definitely be bringing more friends here

Ordered Idlli Sambar with extra sambar and chutney via Uber eats Sambar's consistency was like rasam, and I had to look for vegetables. Discarded most of it Idlli was thick and dense. The coconut chutney was okay. They did give generous amounts of it, which was the best part of the order. I will pass this restaurant next time.

We arrived at Woodlands at 2pm or so and were seated within 1-2 minutes despite it being very busy and a holiday weekend. Food: really wonderful "pure vegetarian" Indian food. A lot of South Indian specialties! If you like South Indian thali or dhosa this is the place. If you are not used to spice, make sure you let staff know. They customize at request. I highly recommend the Indo-Chinese dishes like the chili tofu in the picture below. Deserts are really good. Right now they have a paan ice cream that's really nice and the falooda is always nice. Flavorful and delicious! Service: wait staff is quick and attentive. Despite being very busy our order was taken and customized within a few minutes. They were keeping all tables clean and did a great job making everyone feel welcome. Ambiance: very Indian. Authentic restaurant with lots of Indian people which should tell you it's really good.

15 years ago when I lived in south Florida I use to love their food but the Orlando location is horrible. Sambhar has no flavor and dosa is so oily. Their naan is from the freezer and they even agreed when I asked. If I wanted frozen food I can go get it from the Indian store instead of spending arm and a leg at a restaurant. I do not recommend this place at all.

This is hands down the BEST INDIAN VEGETARIAN restaurant in town. Have been coming here for the past 12 years and the taste of certain dishes has not changed. With a lot of restaurants its hit and miss everytime you go. The same item will taste different everytime. But not with Woodlands...they have consistency with the taste. The ambience is not great, its very basic and old. But when the food quality is good and consistent, I can ignore the ambience. This is a family run establishment and you see that when you go, as the service is not compromised. Menu items to try - dry Gobi Manchurian, Chole Bature, any type of dosa, filter coffee and falooda. There Sambar taste is very unique, the best one I have had here in any of the restaurants. ***Tip: The food will taste much better if you eat it at the restaurant. When you get items like dosa or manchurian to go...they get soggy. These items taste the best when they are warm and crispy.

If you like Indian food and you are a vegetarian, then you must try Woodlands on OBT. I'm pretty sure everything here is Vegetarian and most dishes can be made Vegan if you ask. They are very accommodating, but wish they'd put these items on the menu. The Gobi Manchurian (Dry) was excellent. The fried cauliflower dish was crispy and flavorful and ate like the best General Tso's you've ever had. I believe they do the same with Tofu. They also did their spinach paneer with tofu instead of cheese. What an excellent substitution for this dish as the tofu had a similar consistency to the paneer (cheese) typically in this dish. I'll surely be back to this location as the food was excellent and flavorful and the waiter didn't mind all of my questions.

This place came highly recommended from my friends so I was sorry to be disappointed by my experience. Maybe the dishes I ordered didn't hit the mark? We got the masala dosa, paper dosa and the baby corn Manchurian and they were ok, we have gotten better versions in other places. The service was also very poor with a lot of lag between order placement, receiving our food and then our bill. Maybe try their other dishes if going here.

I paid $4.99 for frozen naan. Wtf why do these people get away with this nonsense. At a restaurant i expect fresh made naan. Not frozen Deep brand naan. The food over all was less than average. I would not go back there here after. $4.99 for frozen food not worth it. Food Rutha's gone down to toilet but the prices have skyrocketed. I understand across the industries the prices have increased but that doesn't mean the quality of service and food also has to decrease. Very disappointing to get frozen food If the restaurant wants to Challenge the naan I can guarantee you 100% it's from freezer.

Really good and yummy South Indian food We were unsure of coming into the restaurant based on reviews but we are glad we did ! Food service was quick and super tasty too ! We tried Masala and Spring dosas and kids tried the paneer makhani and chole bathura.. everyone was satisfied with what they got ! Place was full of people and they were still pretty quick to serve.

This spot has been a staple on OBT for as long as I can remember. It's a humble little dated restaurant but it's always packed because the food is top notch. Vegetarians and meat eaters alike would totally enjoy what I got. My husband and I split our food and I wanted a Royal Thali which is an Indian version of a sampler platter. I had different types of curry from chickpea, cauliflower and even beet! I tried a rava dosa. I have had many dosas but this one is made of semolina, chilis and onion. It's served with an amazing potato filling and coconut sambar. I give it a 4 out of 5 because service is a little gruff and lacking and the place is a little dingey but that wouldn't stop me from coming back to this delicious place! Pro tip **Eating Indian food with your hands makes it taste even better!

To all the Indian food lovers out there, this is the place for you!!! Woodlands is the OG Indian Vegetarian restaurant in town and it's THE BEST. Hands down! The cuisine here is a little different than most Indian places because they focus on South Indian food (yes, all regions of India have different kinds of dishes). And they also have a couple of Indo-Chinese fusion dishes as well. The place doesn't look like much on the inside...but the food here is outstanding and is the highlight. Service is good but if they are busy, you can still flag or wave someone down. It can also get kinda loud if they are busy/packed too so if that bothers you, I wouldn't come here on a weekend. There is a good a amount of parking and if the lot is full, there's some extra parking in the back. They are now open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Also, they don't have their buffet anymore due to the pandemic right now. Okay, let's talk about the food! You can't go wrong with any dish here. My favorite is the samosa chat which is pieces of samosas covered in yogurt and chutney. It's the best one in town in my opinion. It's easy to share or eat by yourself. I usually always get the Sada Dosai here which is like a thin rice crepe that's savory. They have a wide variety of dosas and you can't go wrong with any variation. The coconut chutney here is soooo good! I don't like coconut but I'll eat this any day. But the highlight and star of the show this visit was the Chana Batura! I'm still having dreams about it. It was so delicious and I'm going to be ordering it every single time. It's now my new favorite! Don't sleep on this place! It's my favorite Indian restaurant in Orlando. Even though it's vegetarian, it's incredibly tasty and filling. I can't wait to come back here!

I am local to Orlando. Just visited this place because it was the only proper vegetarian restaurant and the only one that offered decent options for tiffins(other name for breakfast items for Indian food). So we started with idly wada. Trust me , these were the best idly wada I had in USA and it was the first restaurant where chutney wasn't cold. It was warm and fresh and tasted great. Same goes with idly , the texture and taste both were awesome. Onion rava dosa was good too and tasted authentic. Hakka noodles was our another best choice .It was very good and taste was authentic. However despite all good things, gobi Manchuria disappointed us. It was too wet and very much oily and extra crispy. They tasted little sour too. True essence of Manchuria missed in them.

Woodlands is the most delicious vegetarian Indian restaurant I have been too in Orlando. I have been to their lunch buffet and I have gone there for dinner. Everything is so fresh and good. The servers are very polite and seem so happy when we walk in the door. If you are vegetarian or whole food plant based, imagine a menu with a hundred different options to eat. It is heaven on earth!

If you are looking for authentic South Indian or awesome North Indian food, this is the place. There are other places with better ambiance but NONE can shake a stick at this place on food taste and quality. We had to visit twice in a week before leaving town. Place is on the main drag, stand alone with good parking. Menu is pretty broad. Asian Indians eat here a lot...hint hint! Service is good. I'm blown away with the fact that other places get a lot better reviews. I'm thinking this is because people don't take a few minutes to appreciate something good. I can go on... Authentic, quality Indian food is of interest to you? This is a must visit place. If you like it, promote them!

(12/27/2023) I hadn't been to Woodlands since before the pandemic era. My last recollection was of a great south Indian vegetarian buffet and mini dosas at every table. We came for a celebratory going-away lunch for one of our Kerala "sisters." Also, breaking in a gringa who has never had Indian food of any kind before (like what rock has she been living under). We had a fairly large table of 8, but looks like everyone and literally their mother came for lunch for the holidays during this Christmas week. There were large parties everywhere and line out the door, and a 45 minute wait by the time we left. Be forewarned, they won't seat your large party until everyone is there. We arrived just before the lunch rush and made it there before 12:00 PM. We ordered so much we ran out of room on the table and had to pile things on top of each other. Mostly the platter-sized masala dosas and batturas, like big puffy bread balloons covered every inch. We made sure to get thalis, samosas, pakoras (vegetable and paneer), chana masala to scoop with our breads. I thought the flavors were pretty bold and well-seasoned, especially on my thali (beets, coconut cauliflower and okra, sambar. The dessert I think is a classic Lion powder custard with canned fruit cocktail, which I actually really like. We'd been too busy to do sit down lunches for a while, but definitely will put this one back into rotation.

Best, authentic Dosa's around town. Probably the best in the country. Dosa's are long and not burnt. Uttapam is nice and thick like a big, fluffy pancake with your choice of ingredients. Dahi Vada is a must have as well as their Mango Lassi!! You cannot get better than this place.

Stopped by here for lunch today. The staff was friendly and I was seated promptly. They immediately brought cold water and I ordered a mango Lassi. My drink order came right away and it was delicious. I ordered the lunch special consisting of lentil donut and onion masala dosai. The donuts came out first and were accompanied by a cook coconut sauce and a hot lightly spicy potato and tomato sauce. They both were excellent for dunking but I tging I prefer the red sauce. The onion masala dosai came out and boy was it big. This was so fun to pull apart and dunk into the red sauce. It is so tasty and you can really taste the spices, potato, and onions. This was the first time I sampled it and I am a fan. I really enjoyed my experience at Woodlands and I will be back to try more offerings here.

Authentic taste and incredible prices, highly recommend to travelers to check out this local spot. The Gobi Manchurian (dry) in particular was a favorite.

For sure my top pick in town. Vegetarian here so it's nice to not have to scan the menu for veggie options. Also, even when I was a meat eater it never felt like I was missing out on anything coming here, because I always walked away satiated. The staff remembers me when I visit, food is always packed with flavor, and solid portion sizes so I always go home with leftovers, which makes for great eating for days. They've upgraded the space from how it used to be, but you don't go to Woodlands for the ambiance-- you go because it's hands down the best Indian food in Orlando. I've eaten terrible flavorless meals at over-rated 'Mint' and 'Tabla', decent meals but not as good at 'Tamarind' and 'Taste of India' in Kissimmee and Altamonte, quite good meals-- but not authentic and not as good-- at Bombay Street kitchen, but none of them compare with this longtime Orlando staple. Even living in 'Curry Hill' Manhattan I didn't enjoy it as much as here. By far the best.

Amazing vegetarian restaurant in Orlando. They have a nice variety of South Indian dishes. This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have been to in the US. Always stop here for lunch or dinner when I visit Orlando. This place can get crowded but it's worth the wait.

I will say I definitely appreciate consistency in the restaurant business because if the food taste and quality is consistent thats great! BUT in this case, the lack of proper customer service is also pretty consistent. Being in Orlando we have plenty of options for both veg and non-veg Indian food, and if I was going with friends trying Indian for the 1st time, I would be a little skeptical about bringing them here. This place has been around for ages and the setup has not changed 1 bit! The restaurant inside is nothing to ride home about, and it looks very out-dated. The food is great though, I still order the same thing I ordered 15 years ago Gobi Manchurian (Dry) and a Masala dosa it is some what nostalgic at this point, but the waiters don't understand that, Every time I request my usual order, they want to clarify with me 2-3 times and check if I want a Mango Lassi or a coke product or a Pepsi product or a gulab Jamun. It becomes a little redundant.. I think with some better customer service and some modern changes to the ambiance attracting a different squad this place could do a lot better!!

Woodlands was a decent South Indian place. I'm from NY where you can get a lot of great tasting options, so I can't compare this place to NY, but for what the options are in Orlando, it wasn't too bad! I got the mysore masala dosa, which was a solid option. The soft vada wasn't that great, which I'd probably avoid. The mango drink was much better than the lassi, but if you like traditional lassis, then it's good. I'm not a fan of yogurt. Overall this place hit the spot for Indian food craving after missing home cooking.

Dined at Woodlands Restaurant in December 2022 for lunch. we are South Indians residing in the US, looking for authentic food. We ordered 5 dishes between the two of us - medhu vada, Dahi vada, rava masala dose, rasam soup and pongal with avial. We could not eat medhu vada....it fel like was frozen & then thawed. it was soft, lacked crispiness and felt uncooked. we returned it and we're not charged for it. Rasam was average and I finished it. Rava dosa was good and enjoyable. No complaints. Pongal was adequate, though it was not a Tamil pongal or kannada huggi or gujarati kichidi. it was their take and was ok. Dahi vada was just full of sugar and inedible for our South Indian palate. apparently it is more suitable for North Indians. so, it was an average Indian restaurant and we didn't get a south Indian food experience.

Ate lunch here as Ian was craving Dosa, etc. We ordered the following: Oothappam. It was good. Poori for Ian. Little bit expensive. On the dry side. Rava Dosa. This was delicious. Ian ate half of this. Plain dosa for the Mrs. 1 Badam MilkShake. It was difficult to drink as it was not pureed. Total including tax & tip came to $54.00 Restaurant was crowded. So, they must be doing something good.

Hair in the food, and bug in the ice cream. When we told the "manager" (I guess), he literally walked away and didn't try to rectify in any way. So, we paid for mediocre food obviously cooked in a dirty kitchen with no standards. I don't care how long it's been there. That's just gross and terrible service from management. Will not be back ever.

When you to a restaurant and a lot of the patrons are apart of the culture where the food comes from, then you know the restaurant will be authentic. I don't remember the name of the dish, but i know it had veggies and potatoes, and it was delicious! The flavors are different, but in a good way. We also had the samosa that had a nice spicy kick, but nice warm flavors. The dining experience was more of an at home style, with nothing fancy - but who needs fancy when the food was good. I will be back to try something new :)

I have absolutely nothing bad to say here. Just great food, with good service at good prices. Food: flavorful and delicious. Our table ordered the samosas to start, then channa masala, palak paneer, kadai paneer, and vegetable pulav with raita on the side. Everything was great, but we especially liked the kadai paneer and vegetable pulav. The mint chutney that came with the samosas was also shockingly good, as in the best I've ever had (I say that as a person who's typically heavily partial to tamarind chutney over mint). The samosas themselves were light, flaky, and not too oily. As far as authenticity, our party was the only group of non-Indians in the restaurant, which I take to mean that the food is authentic. I can't speak to that directly, being non-Indian myself, but I do eat a lot of Indian food and I will say that the food was excellent for my tastes. Service: our group of 5 was seated immediately at 7 pm on a Sunday. I did notice a wait forming shortly after we got there, so try to arrive by 7 if you want to avoid the dinner rush, I'd say. Other than that, service was attentive and our food came out quickly. Ambience: it was pleasantly buzzing, but not so loud that you needed to raise your voice to have a table conversation. Perfect volume, for me. We had someone in the party with hearing issues, and they had no problem conversing against the background noise. As far as the interior, the vibe is not really anything special, but I don't expect any fancy interior design at this price point, so that's no issue. Parking: lots of parking in the lot outside the restaurant. All in all, if you're in the area and wanting Indian food, this is a great place to stop. I would come back, for sure.

A grand slam every time We come. It's a vegetarian restaurant and every time we go. We leave happy and satisfied. Come hungry so you can try the batura and the gobi machuran. The servers don't have much personality but they are good at remembering your order.
