We had high expectations for this highly rated restaurant in HKG and were looking forward. It was busy but we seated in a few minutes. Many service staff and all busy but it took us at least 10 minutes for someone to give us a menu. Requested water and it took a good five minutes. Normally in an Indian restaurant the first thing without asking water is served (part of culture).
The food took a good 10 minutes as well. The Vegan Thaali which should have been the most simplest meal to serve and come out of kitchen. The food itself was a bit bland for our taste in seasonings. The spice level was low which is OK, but salt was too low. Surprisingly no pickle was served which could have solved both shortcomings. The Chappatis were OK and were not super fresh.
The Vegan Masala Dosa took even longer to come out which was more surprising for us well. A South Indian restaurant normally the dosas are one of the quickest to come out. The dosa was also unevenly cooked – one side was well done, middle was perfect and the other side a little under done. Chutneys and sambhar were good.
Their definition of vegetarian states that there is no dairy which is incorrect and vegan talks about eggs or meat but does not include any mentions of dairy.

It was my visit after very very long time. Place is very clean, the staff is attentive and friendly. Had some food in the restaurant itself and ordered some for take away. Told them less especially less oil please but was shocked when reached home. All the three dishes were swimming in oil (would surely give heart health issues if this is consumed). Rice were extra oily and coconut chutney was sour. So almost all food we got home was waste of money.

The food is not very healthy (a lot of oil in both the dishes and the breads), but it is oh-so tasty. I’ll be visiting Woodlands again if I am in Hong Kong, the different Thalis especially are great and I hope to try them again.
There is also a separate vegan menu, although I believe most the dishes are vegan already? Or maybe ghee is used in some of them, but I’m sure if you ask for vegan they’ll accommodate.

We went to Woodlands during our trip to hongkong!
This was the best Vegetarian indian meal we ate. We ended up ordering 3 again from them via food panda app.
The food quality, taste, service everything was excellent.
It’s a little on the expensive side compared to the other local smaller indian restaurants but totally worth it.
Must visit place.

This is a great all-around review if you tried a variety of dishes from both North and South India.
A must-visit for authentic vegetarian Indian food in Hong Kong! The menu is incredibly diverse, offering everything from crispy South Indian dosas to rich Punjabi curries and flavorful street-style chaat. Everything tasted fresh and hit the right spot.
Very welcoming and cozy atmosphere—perfect for a family meal or a casual dinner with friends.

butter masala dosa and north indian dhali was DELICIOUS. Portion sizes were big and prices were affordable.

An quite long time established Indian restaurant which serves purely vegetarian and vegan dishes. The restaurant is not very big and seating is a bit tight. Idly Sambar (Steamed rice cake) is quite nice when dipped with vegetables stock, and the Bonda is rich in curry flavor. Vegetable Biriyani is fried to quite dry which is similar to Chinese fried rice and is nice. Paneer Palak is quite rich in spinach flavor and match with cheese. Pineapple Lassi is very rich in yogurt but not the fruit side.

Amazing food and service. This place is genuinely customer and experience oriented, not in a stiff fine dining way, but in a “we want you to have the best possible meal” way.
What stood out most was the staff’s deep understanding of flavor, texture, and sequencing. They don’t just take an order. They help you build a selection where each dish supports the next. Crispy with soft, bright with grounding, spicy with cooling, and nothing that accidentally works against what you’ve already chosen. You can tell they’re thinking about the entire sensory arc from the first bite to the last.
They also showed an extraordinary level of awareness around dietary needs. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, Jain, allium free, and other restrictions were handled with confidence and clarity, not hesitation. It felt less like a list of limitations and more like a creative framework they were excited to work within.
The restaurant sits on an upper level of a mall, but once inside it’s bright and calm, with lots of windows, simple décor, and a comfortable, unpretentious atmosphere that lets the food and conversation lead. Many of the diners around me were Indian, which always feels like the quietest and best endorsement.
Even for meat eaters, this is a destination. The depth of flavor and especially the paneer dishes make it feel complete and satisfying without any sense of something missing. This is not “good for vegetarian food.” It is just genuinely good food, thoughtfully composed.
It is an elevated experience without the ego. Thoughtful, flavorful, and refreshingly unpretentious.

Great place for an authentic Indian vegan meal, the dishes we had are surprisingly good and reasonable. Would love to come back next time! Booking is advise.
Chili Panneer ($90)
Indo-Chinese appetizer where crisp batter fried panned is tossed in slightly sweet, spicy, hot and tangy sauce. You can choose the level of spiciness.
Masala Dosa ($75)
Paper-thin Crispy pancake filled with mashed potatoes and mixed spices and served with two sauces. It’s a wow factor to bring it on a big table! Personally I like this more than Chapati.
Alu Gobi Masala ($75)
Whole roasted cauliflower with crispy potatoes and a mildly spiced lenti based curry. It’s a approachable for people who prefer less spicy food.
