This restuarant is by far the best veg indian restuarant in DC metro area.. Their lunch buffet is great.... The service is good... (can expect delays during weekends, since the restuarant overflows with customers... but that happens in most of the indian restuarants...)

We visited the Woodlands Restaurant located off Highway 29 in Fairfax for a Sunday buffet and were overwhelmed by the variety of foods that are available as well as the value for money! The ambiance of the restaurant is not conducive to fine dining or subdued conversations - at least at the Sunday buffet. But the food is great and... More

The food was spicy, fresh and delicious. I'm not a vegetarian and never had Indian food before and I loved everything about this place!

My recent buffet lunch experience was quite pleasant. I was visiting Fairfax area from NJ with my family. They had good variety with tasty north/south Indian combinations. The place was clean with good ambience and the staff were very courteous.

Whenever I visit DC, I come here. Sometimes you have to wait but no big deal. Dosa is really good and so was the food. Buffet was nice, had a variety of different things. i grew up in India and the Pani Puri is one of the best. Not a far drive from DC. Come here it is good.

I used to visit the Woodlands restaurant all the time when living in Fairfax. The lunch buffet is a steal! It is best to get there right when they open so everything is fresh and you get first pick. There is so much variety and the dishes are very tasty. I love the spicy condiments and dal poured over those... More

Great food, the flavor combinations are perfect, and great service the staff is very... More

We had not dined at Woodlands in the evening for several months although we frequently enjoy the lunch buffet. Tonight we were introduced to the new expanded dinner menu that features a "Thali" option that includes an entree, rice, four restaurant selected side dishes, yogurt, soup of the day, and naan. This delight is arranged on a tray with the... More

The manager said they are preparing the food and bring in few minutes and no one responded after that. We were very disappointed by the poor service. Finally we got the... More

This is my "go to" place to meet friends for the generous, fresh week day luncheon buffet. The dishes vary daily and always include a soup, appetizers, several main dishes, rice, multiple condiments and a dessert. Fresh dosais are delivered to each table and included in the buffet price. Most notable is the consistent fresh, well prepared cuisine. I highly... More
