WOODLANDS

A long-standing favorite in the neighborhood, this vegetarian haunt offers delicate, varied South Indian cuisine. The service is very friendly, and the atmosphere relaxed. While it's a little more expensive than Chungking, it's also much more carefully prepared. Try the thali menu, with a mix of dishes and desserts served on a single tray. Since its beginnings in 1981, Woodlands has remained a must for lovers of authentic flavors and vegetarian cuisine. A vegetarian address for a change from Cantonese dishes.
