Woodlands - Hampstead

About Woodlands - Hampstead

Woodlands Indian vegetarian restaurant in London's leafy Hampstead is the latest of a thriving group that first opened its doors in Madras in 1938. This branch has a pleasing, calm space with sleek neutral seating, exposed brick, pebbled floor, tastefully modern artwork and a water feature tinkling away. The menu focuses on South and Western Indian street food - chefs here take long training in Chennai so their renditions of the classic idli and its cousin, the dosa, are authentic to the fingertips, served with a choice of fillings and accompaniments. The service here is keen and friendly. Woodlands will make you wonder why you ever bothered with meat.
