| - I am blessed to have a lovely boyfriend from Andhra Pradesh who is an EXCELLENT cook. Everyone flips out when he cooks and begs him to cook again. Honestly, I can't stand most Indian food, but he is a magical unicorn in the kitchen. Anyway...the man was starving last night and he wanted to take me to Woodlands.
We ordered idli and vada for appetizers and a dosa and veggie uthappam for the main course. He tried to order something else that he saw on the online menu, but the server, who we assumed as American, had no idea what he was talking about and looked at my bf like he was an idiot. The server was kind of rude and dismissive in general. I've seen worse service, but still...
When the food came, I must say that it looked delicious. It was very well presented and seemed to be very well prepared for what it was. The vada was tolerable. The idli was too heavy. The sambar was not that great, but the coconut chutney almost made me throw up (for an hour after we were done eating). I kept trying to eat, but with every bite I took, I cried to God for mercy. My bf asked if I wanted to order something else. I said only if he was going back to the kitchen to cook it. The dosa was pretty good and the uthappam was alright but I learned that you cannot take your leftovers home unless you want your car to smell horrific after the food cools down on the drive home. We had to stop and throw it out.
I may give this place another try, but I'm pretty sure nothing will beat that man's home cooking.
Three stars for what was probably decent food to other people, minus one for that rude server.
