Easily the best veg hotel in Thane. The South Indian food is obviously out of this world but even the North Indian is excellent. I never miss eating their Rasam Vada. Perfect place for a family dine out. They also have lovely banquet halls for your family functions and parties. All you guys in Mulund & Thane pls try this place out.

Woodland is a very good family place. Good for lunch or dinner. Like their meals or thali and mini vada and sambar. Service is quick and value for money for a vegetarian place. Very well located and has good waiting area.
Recommend for family dinner.

On a recent official visit to Thane, I happened to eat rasam vada which was amazing in taste and enjoyed sipping the last spoon of rasam !

Filter coffee was the second item I liked and I being a south Indian, know the quality of coffee served in different South Indian Restaurants in Mumbai. Woodland Retreat didn't disappoint me and deserve thumps up for yummy rasam vada and delicious kaapi !!!

Woodland is the hidden gem in Thane for south Indian dishes

Hello folks!!!

Woodland retreat is famous as a wedding, celebration, or family party destination. Have been to this place quite a few times. They have different sections for celebrations. They have an alacarte menu too for the hotel. The food is good here with mainly indian cuisine to offer.

Happy dining

Superb traditional south Indian food with the old charm.... Was a nostalgic trip to younger days. Rayalaseema uttapa was fiery and just right. Then came the Andhra masala dosa....yumm each bite a relish. The vangaya sambhar was as good as it can get and very few restaurants serve that sambar. Methi dosa was a surprise with freshly ground methi leaves. And off course filter coffee. And all this at an astounding low price. You will miss this place as it's really hidden.... Right next to tip top and Jean junction
Must try this place if you want authentic South Indian food!

I went to this place for early lunch on a Sunday morning. The restaurant is not very big but decent decor. We ordered for tomato soup and Rassam wada. Both the dishes were tasty.
In the main course we ordered for veg Kolhapuri and Aloo gobhi masala. My god! That was the best veg Kolhapuri I ever had in my life. Lastly the pineapple shira was delicious and no doubt why so many of my friends had recommended that to me. The rotis and pineapple raita were also very good.
Overall food- 4.5 /5
Service- 4.5 /5
Value for money 5/5.

One of my go to restaurants on a lazy day. I love their South Indian dishes. Along with that, they serve one of the best Malai Koftas according to me. Ambience is just fine. Service is good. Parking is available for 5-6 cars at a time.

Very good food and friendly staff. Thay have been reducing the menu and quantity of Executive Thali over the years. Interiors have not been changed or touched up in years. Parking space a big problem. Rasam wada is awesome. Used to be served with Thali earlier but not now

This review covers only one item on the menu:The thali.

A fried papadam sets off the tone. (Don't like the healthy type roasted variety, and I bet neither do you!)
The decently sized fluffy pooris entice you (and the fact that both my companions couldn't finish off their pooris and I was the designated scavenger was the cherry on the cake)
The rasam vada is nice, as is the rasam, strictly. The north Indian vegetable curries are pretty good and go well with the pooris.
The curd helps in cutting the acidity of the fried stuff.

Loved the gulab jamun which cut the effect of the curd :-D

P.S.: The pineapple sheera, ordered aside from the thali, was moist, and filled with small chunks of pineapple and raisins. Enough for the three of us.

Service was a little hurried though, as if the staff wanted us out of there ASAP.@priya Prakash

This Udipi treat is here in Thane since years. Their range of dosas is mindblowing. The Rawa Sada Dosa and the Rasam Wadas are simply epic. The service is quick and staff is polite. The ambience is soothing and pleasant. Typical Udipi taste and flavours. Specially check out the chutneys they serve with the dosas. Their Pineapple Sheera deserves a special mention!!

Went for a Sunday dinner with my wife @pranjali as she is a big fan of southindian food and we were not dissappointed!!! A simple restaurant with a ambience of the 90s, with great south indian food as its USP. We had rasam wada, set dosa, andhra sada and butter sadha dosa.... And liked everything!!! Lot of options... So will have to visit multiple times to try everything on the menu. All in all great food at super cheap prices!!!

Service is so quick that you may have a feeling of being treated in ICU! And I am so serious about this with no sarcasm. You may bring all your extended family and plan to have a lazy dinner party, but you will be out on the road in about an hour and start wondering how the hell did that happen!!? Oh but don't worry, you will be satisfied for sure. Alas! Money well spent!

Love the Bhishi Balle Hulli anna served here! If I go to Woodlands Thane, this item has to be on my order list! And speciality about Woodlands, Thane is that the masala that they use for Bhishi Balley is different from Woodlands Mulund... its fresh, less spicy and delicious. A perfect place for family dinner.

This is an old eatery situated close to the Thane west checknaka and has people flocking because they have maintained the quality of south indian cuisine served here. Like any typical udipi, this place doesn't focus on d decor but does focus (and correctly so) on south indian cuisine and quick service! Apart from the traditional dosas like sada dosa, rawa masala, mysore etc, this place also offers dosas with a twist like the sandwich dosa. While here stick to south indian cuisine such as idli, sambhar vada, dosa, utthapam and don't shy away from asking for more chutney or sambhar..in beverages, go for the filter coffee. A negative here is that this place also has banquets and if there are any on-going events, parking may be difficult to find. Leaving this aside, a thumbs up for this place :)

Nice place for a family dinner. I was there last weekend.. Ambiance wise it is fine (3/5) but food is good. We ordered soup, starters, main course, rice, desserts, a full packed dinner. Service is quick and food tasted good. Sitting place is lighted well and gives kind of warm feeling. Our starters options were Veg Crispy and Hara bhara kebab and twin dosa, all were exceptionally yummy. Though I felt they overfried Veg Crisy. Main course was grand and included paneer butter masala, dal tadka, butter naans, fried rice, dahi bhalla and boondi raita. It was served hot and fresh too. We were full till throat as they say. Bill was also fine and for a group of 5 it costed us 1500 which quite affordable.

Only problem could be parking space as they have very less parking place outside on road. So either reach a bit early or park to nearby place and walk to restaurant.

Ambiance: 3/5
Food: 3.5/5
Service: 4/5

Must go for Thane people. Highly Recommended !!

Everyone has those restaurants around their place which they invariably fall back to while ordering food.

Woodland has been my family's choice since the time I won Duel Master Battles.

Initially, we used to visit this place and savour it's extensive variety of dosas, with Buttersponge dosa topping my list of favs.

With newer options available, and different outlets waiting to be tried, Woodland has become the safest home delivery option for our family in the last two three years.

Average ambience, good quality reliable food, and fast delivery times satisfies us enough.

If you wanna go to this restaurant,you should only go for South Indian food.
I ordered paneer tikka and it was not good.
However,my experience with South Indian dishes is really good.
So far,best dishes (according to me)-Masala upama,Andra dosa,palak dosa,Rayala Seema Uttappam,set dosa and pesarattu. Their rasam and bisi bele hulli anna is also really good.
I have tried 'special masala dosa'. It was loaded with coconut and lacked taste. Puliyogare is not upto the mark.
Pinapple sheera is OK but too sweet.
Decor has a lot of room for improvement.
To sum up,it's a good place.Β 
I won't say a 'must try' though.

we went to woodlands retreat to have some good south Indian food. I read a review here by Vidyadheesh and tried the Pesarattu dosa and Ullipai dosa. both are awesome. Pesarattu is a dosa roll stuffed with a moderate spicy filling onions. Ullipai dosa is served as a pair of moong (green gram) dosa. We also tried the curd rice. It comes with pomegreate added to it, some like it, I don't. the service is also good and i definitely recommend the place.

Update: The Punjabi food is also good here. This time asked for curd rice without the additions and it was perfect!

This restaurant offers you amazing food, whether South Indian or North Indian, Snacks or Main Course. The variety in South Indian fare is also large, a combination of the southern states except Kerala. And mistake not, their North Indian dishes are equally good.

So popular is this restaurant, that it is always fully occupied during the lunch time and also booked for small get-togethers.

In case you are in a snacking mood, try the Rasam Wada, Pesarattu Dosa, Rayal Seema Uttappa and Ullipai Dosa.

In the mood for a sumptuous proper lunch, try the Paneer Tikka and Veg Kolhapuri. If you want to indulge in South Indian Main course, try the Rice variants like Puliyogare [tangy & mild spicy rice], Lemon Rice [Sour / Tangy in taste, with a tempering of groundnuts and curry leaves], Bissi Belle Bhat [Spicy Rice & Dal with some veggies], Bhakla Bhat [Curd Rice with a topping of Pomegrantes, Fried Cashew Nuts & Raisins], Curd Rice [Plain with tempering], Palak Khichdi.

All Rice dishes are served with Appalam [Fried Papad made out of Rice]. We liked it so much that we consumed 16 Appalam among 5 persons apart the ones served with the Rice dishes.

Please try the Gulab Jamun and Pineapple Sheera [both served hot] after the Main Course.

It is a little on the expensive side vis-Γ -vis the Price but justified for the Quality.
