Woodlands Cafe - Garfield

I visited this restaurant for the first time 2 weeks ago and have been returning once a week ever since!

This restaurant was amazing. The medu vada was light and fluffy, not heavy and greasy. The dosas were excellent—crisp, flavorful, and filled well. The samosa chaat was also fantastic. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here all the time.

The food at this restaurant is reasonably priced, but I wish the portions were a bit larger.

We went to Mysore Woodlands and were really impressed. The buffet (with bonus chat AND dosa or uttapam on Tuesday and Friday, when we went) was $12/each, and the food was really good. They were able to point out which items were vegan and which were not with no trouble, and were happy to make vegan dosas and uttapam for us. The amount of food was pretty incredible, we got two full meals each out of it for pretty cheap. It was a bit tricky to find, it 's on the north side of rt 46 (you have to be heading west to turn into it); and russo plaza doesn 't have a sign with that name so you just have to look for the woodlands sign.

We were at Mysore's buffet and we're lucky enough to sit next to someone who understood what vegan meant. Delicious food! At Woodlands, they don't speak good English and we ended up with yogurt on our plate. My only other negative comment is that they should indicate heat levels. Some of our food was too hot (spicy) for us, while others were not. Best to look at pics before coming if you are vegan.
