Woodlands in London was opened by Mr. Ranjit Sood in 1981 as part of a Government of India approved joint venture with the famous Woodlands Restaurants & Hotels Group from India which has been established there since 1938. In India as in London, Woodlands is synonymous with the deligths of the finest south Indian vegetarian cuisine.
In London we count celebrities from the worlds of Music, Sport, Bollywood & Hollywood amongst our regular guests as well as our loyal local patrons whom we consider our friends. We are critically acclaimed by some of the most respected food critics and Guides in the country such as Egon Ronay, Hardens, Zagat, RAC, AA, Time Out, Good Food Guide, Pat Chapman and The Evening Standard but to name a few.
Our food is lighter yet more flavoursome than what you might expect of an Indian |
meal because 98% of our dishes do not contain any butter or cream yet they aredelicious due to the unique recepies and methods of slow cooking used by our chefs, some of whom have been with us for 20 years. These qualities not only make our cuisne appetising for dinner but an ideal choice for lunch. Choose one of our light ‘Chaat’ dishes (piquant roadside snacks, served cold) with a Dosa (waffer thin rice & lentil pancake filled with seasoned potatoes and onions) which will leave you satisfied but not bloated.
We have recently introduced a new wine list which contains is wholly Organic, Vegan or Vegetarian wines sourced from small, independent growers who make authentic wines. The majority are organic, their purity and length of flavour complementing the subtle but spicy finish of our dishes. |
Like our food they are easy on your body and leave you feeling refreshed.
The majority of mass market wines available to day are not suitable for vegetarians, a fact that not surprisingly, few people know. It doesn’t say so on the bottle! We source wines that are suitable for vegetarians or vegans!
We find that organic wines generally have a greater depth of flavour than conventional wines, and this works really well with the subtle spices in our food. We often find those spices lingering on the pallet, and it’s great to have wine that can match it.
Wheather you join us for lunch, dinner or snack in between we look forward to seeing you soon and greeting you with a warm Woodlands Welcome ! |
