It’s rare to be treated to really good, varied food when you’re abstaining from animal products so thank goodness for Woodlands. Situated close to Oxford Street and all the sights and sounds of the West End, Woodlands is a delicious vegetarian restaurant without the hippy connotations. A smart, uncluttered interior makes for sleek, modern surroundings while service is always polite and knowledgeable and the wine list – completely organic – is varied and sophisticated. The delights of South Indian cuisine are clear for all to see on the Woodlands menu which veers between simplistic street food and hearty curries, all vegetarian, many vegan and entirely health conscious too with 98% of dishes free from cream and butter.
