As I know indian dishes can divide to north, south, west and east. Biriyani is from north, Dosai & bajji is from south and Puri is from west. My friend CH is expert on indian dish. He always bring his indian colleague hanging around at indian street and hunting for pure indian food. He is strongly recommended this restaurant. This around we give him some stress and let him ordered most of the dish. I order the vegetable biriyani and mango lansi for myself. For me, the vegetable biriyani is just ok only and acceptable. The mango lansi is extremely good. For me the bajji is so so also, but my friend CH love it a lot, end up we let him finish all. HaHa. The puri was the best, end up we order another plate. The plain dosai was just ok and normal. Overall this vegetarian lunch was not bad and the price was reasonable...

This post was back on last Wednesday. It was a semi-easy day, we finished visiting our customer and was already 4:30pm. Therefore we planned to have our late lunch. Actually, this place was suggested by Michael Cheah and he claimed that this is a place worth a try. Therefore, we went there together with our sales admin.
This place is call Woodlands Vegetarian Restaurant. It’s a place for vegetarian lovers. By the way, the defination of vegetarian for Chinese 九王爷(Nine Emperor God) is a bit different. For the the Nine King God believers having milk is prohibited but this does not work for general vegetarians...
Woodlands Restaurant in Penang Street, Little India.
There're a couple of Indian Restaurants in this area, some offering a mix of veg and non-veg menu and some purely veg.
This would be one of the better veg restaurant. But then what's so special about this place? It's some of the items on its menu that you can hardly find anywhere else Penang...
