Woodlands International Restaurant

Woodlands used to be such a good place to eat vegetarian food. It used to be one of the few all vegetarian restaurants in HK so we used to go a lot. Nowadays there are many more choices so I am relieved that I no longer have to tolerate the awful dirty, greasy, old and tired decoration, the sticky chairs and tables. The service was never super friendly often abrupt and downright rude. The atmosphere always struck me as a mite sanctimonious and disapproving.

The restaurant was hard to locate as it was inside a small shopping mall. The ambience is not that great, but the food is. Tried a hot coca cola for the first time in my life. The south Indian food varieties were all wonderful.

The restaurant itself isn’t exactly the cleanest we’ve been in… and the service is pretty bad too… the location is odd and it doesn’t look like an attractive restaurant that you’d really want to eat in…
…so why the heck would you come here… well… the food is fabulous :-) …I mean really fabulous… one of the best Indian meals we’ve had. we had the pakoras, the korma and the masala — all tasted freshly made and were excellent… and it’s all vegetarian :-)
It really is a shame they don’t run a vacuum cleaner round the restaurant, clean the tables up a bit, have someone wash the windows and then get the staff to be a bit more responsive… it would really be a great dining experience if they could get it to all come together…
…but don’t let our moaning put you off… you won’t have a 4 star overall experience, but you will come away being glad you tried it and I am sure will be surprised as we were at how good the food actually is… enjoy :-)
