Problem:I had high hopes for Woodlands' lunch buffet based on the reviews. Unfortunately, the food did not meet my expectations and it was pricier for a hole-in-the-wall joint.

There weren't very many options: "salad bar" (a large platter of limp salad with some sauces and onions surrounding it), a soup, bread, some fritter-type thing (not samosas), rice, noodles, a dessert, and about 4-5 kinds of curry. I know that sounds like a decent number of options, but all the curries tasted alike except for the saag paneer. I love saag paneer, but this was thin and bland. In fact, all the curries were watery... My plate had a pool of water that separated from the curries. I've never encountered that before.

The dining area was cramped and small. Which is fine... I don't expect ambience from a small ethnic place. But there was also no temp control -- it was sweltering hot... Which doesn't pair well with spicy-ish food. The staff was nice, but incredibly slow.

I would not return of my own volition.
Solution:
2 stars
