Woodlands has its origins in South India, in Bengaluru, Karnataka and Chennai, Tamil Nadu. (The older names are Bangalore and Madras.)Their menu and cuisine reflects these origins. The restaurant is easy to find. Getting into and out of the parking lot is a little crazy thanks to one ways and do not turns imposed by the local traffic folks.Go to Woodlands for a buffet and you will not regret the wide choices. (You may want to call them for the availability and timing of their buffets.) The buffet had about thirty dishes.Indian cuisine does NOT lend itself to the Western entree idea, so one goes to this restaurant not always to order a specific dish, but to sample a variety. If you are accompanied by a friend familiar with this cuisine, you are a step ahead.The food was excellent, all except the Gobi Manchurian which I thought was too greasy. (What is a Gobi Manchurian doing in South Indian fare, anyway?) The other dishes included many vegetables, rice and lentil dishes. The famous Masala Dosa (crepe filled with a potato curry) is served at the table. Chaat and Pani Poori was also setup.No meat dishes were offered as this is a Vegetarian Restaurant. This means no chicken, no lamb, etc., not even egg dishes. The non-vegetarian friends and co-workers I have dined with at this restaurant have been happy with the fullness of their meals.

We weren't all that hungry, having eaten a huge lunch, so we did a slimmed down version of one of our favorite meals from Jewel: an order each of their delicious Mulligatawny soup and a split order if their Palak Chat (crispy spinach). This place always comes through!

Tiffin's menu encompasses both northern and south Indian cuisine. The buffet is mostly north Indian, and It's mostly tasty. The chicken dishes are better than the lamb. The soups -- a dal and a sambar -- are pretty good albeit mild in the extreme. The staff are quite friendly, and the lunch clientele are mostly regulars. Not even close to gourmet, but not bad.

Ordering takeout, my wife and I had "Chicken Salad" ($13.99), which was actually tandoori chicken over salad, "Shrimp Salad" ($21.99), tandoori shrimp over salad, and Tomato Soup ($4.99). The chicken and shrimp were very good (even if the shrimp salad seemed over-priced), but the salad was, I'm sure, out of mixed-salad supermarket bags, and was showing its age -- both of us removed gloppy leaves the cook should have removed. The soup was creamy and delicious.
