First off, a very big THANK YOU to all of you Charlotte Yelpers who reviewed this place!!!! Very nice to see honest, thoughtful reviews of places in town when I come in to visit my wife's family.
After looking up another Indian place to eat in the area I came across a listing for Woodlands made by other folks on Yelp. Upon seeing so many positive reviews my wife and I decided to meet my in-laws there for dinner this evening. Tucked back in a nondescript area across from an Inn-Town Suites and next to a strip mall shopping center, this place is an amazing find.
As one local Yelper Tonya P. stated in a review, the menu can be daunting but our server was patient and took her time explaining various dishes to our party. On her recommendation we ordered a sampler platter of various appetizers and was not disappointed. It was like a Nicholas Cage movie because it was "Gone In Sixty Seconds" I can tell you that. So good.
Everyone ordered something different but I only remembered what my wife and I ordered so apologies for that. I ordered the Mushroom Mutter Curry and she ordered the Vegetable Korma which were both wonderful. My in-laws dishes were delicious and the sharing that my wife did with her folks told me they loved the dishes they had too. I'm a greedy bastard and chose not to share which I regret to the fullest now.
Service was good, the place was busy but not overly crowded, and the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back and eat there again. If you're a local of Charlotte, who loves Indian food and you have not been to Woodlands, well you need to correct that serious error in judgement right away.
