Authentic South Indian food. Must have to get the essence of Sambar , Rasam and other delicacies

Very comfortable accommodation , courteous staff Anand raj and now Shiv sagar restaurants added value to it. Parking area is to be maintained.Fine dining of course costlier and can experience anyway

Good old styled veg food. Its authentic and tasty. Not much of formalities, very old styled casual snacking/dining. Variety of Dosas, veg pulao are a must try. Pocket friendly and both the outlets are at the heart of Bangalore- Commercial st and near Central shopping mall, Jayanagar 9th block. Stricktly veg food and for all generations specially Bangalore old timers...Go for it..

- The prices at Woodys may vary depending on your stay (e.g. dates, hotels policy etc.).- Double room available, No restaurants inside but have outside various medium food outlets.- The following parking options are available to guests staying at Woodys (subject to availability):Pay Parking, Free parking, On-site parking, Private Parking.- Nearby attractions include St. Marks Cathedral (0.6 miles), Sree Tirumala Giri Lakshmi Venkateswara Swami Temple (0.5 miles), and Gopalan Innovation Mall (0.7 miles).

Ordered a full course meal starting from Sweet corn soup which was very tasty (you get to taste the authentic Sagar taste), Malai broccoli which was tasty too but could have roasted the broccoli a bit more, sabjis were good (again the authentic sagar taste) and rotis which were decent enough. Overall a good meal with good ambience. Definitely going back there!

Not great to stay but decent. Power cut and it took more than 10 minutes to work on generator. 24 check out is nice. Breakfast is included but breakfast starts by 830 AM which is very late. 7 ÀM would have been idle of one is on business travel. I couldnt consume breakfast as I have to go for a business breakfast meeting at 8 AM.

If you havent eaten Dosa & Coffee at Woodys, youve not lived in Bangalore. This place proudly announces itself at the busy intersection opposite to Central mall in J P Nagar. The difference in the vibes of both places couldnt be more stark. While Central is your typical multipurpose departmental store where one continues the frenzied pace of life in a harried metro, Woodys throws you back to the Bengaluru which was famed as the garden city/pensioners paradise. You saunter to one of many empty tables, wave to the nearby waiter, and ask him to bring water & switch on one of the several fans hanging from the tall ceiling. There is intense discussion going on at other tables - two ladies sharing some personal grief as can be made from their forlorn faces, an elderly couple enjoying their dosa and blessings, & 2 people perched on the high table working furiously with a wad of papers - the transaction will get closed in this meeting.After you finish surveying the ample space between tables, and nod approvingly at the huge space of this restaurant on your way to the wash basin, the Dosa is served. You are at a loss whether to rate the crisp Dosa or filter coffee higher, but the whole meal is a culinary delight. And then the biggest surprise of it all - 169 Rs for 2 Dosas and filter coffees!I came back shocked that such a place still exists in the commercial hubbub which Bengaluru is, & decided to write this long impression which reads more like a eulogy. I am not an expert in the economics of restaurant business but something doesnt add up. Whatever the case, do visit once and savour Dosa & Coffee, till it lasts.

Great food. Veg only. Humble and courteous staff. Excellent service. Their banana leaf lunch is out of the world. Their make to order menu has lots of kids loving dishes and north indian dishes. Great place to dine with family.

Under renovation so had limited choice of food and drinks. . But brings back nostalgic feeling every time I step into this place. . Happy to see they keep updating with time and changes. . Food is yummy as always

Limited parking. Good food. Nice ambience big place.clean. Price on higher side. Near central mall and Manipal Hospital. Below Indira IVF.

Good place to get great food.

The place has an old Bengaluru Charm and the food is decent and not that great. Upon this the service is pathetic. The waiters think they own the place. They may not be slow, but have so much attitude.Uddina Vade or Ambode: Could have been more soft and crispierMasala Dosa: Decent. A regular masala dosa. Not worth the price. The only thing I liked was the Butter. It was good

Centrally located. Very good South Indian vegetarian food. Authentic

Legendary place in Bangalore. Have seen this place when we had sitting arrangements on the first floor. Food is really great. We generally visit this place for breakfast. Sometimes they serve ragi dosas. All the breakfast items are good. Vadas are one of the best in Bangalore.

The restaurant at Woodys used to be one of the best in J P Nagar, Bangalore. Unlimited Plantain Leaf Lunch is tasty and fantastic. If you do not like a heavy meal snacks and rice items are also available. Food is tasty. Rava dosa, bisibele baath and curd vada are some of the most wanted items. Coffee and juices also good.

Not a good place to stay....

South Indian restaurant...Lowing the standard of the brand!!!Taste is just ok normal...Worst service and beyond that the person taking order and also the waiter expects a lot from guests!!!Not advisable if looking for good south indian tasty food!!The owners might have to take a task and check if people really working there are willing to work or its just they want to spoil the name of such an amazing and an old brand!!Car parking available..Ambiance is really nice quite big actually..Yes its clean but just hope the cook and waiter learn something form its other branches!!!

Ok

Nostalgic place as this has been here for a good time. But now frontside is a fast food place. So you have to go behind for Woodys

Its no more Woodys. Its ShivSagar. Nicely renovated and good ambience

Its a unit of famous woodlands chain of hotels. Food is decent and healthy.Its basically a pure vegetarian restaurant.

Limited parking space.. rates are bit high for the quantity and quality they serve. Interior and service is good.

A nice cozy place to eat hot idlis, crispy vadas nd paper thin masala dosa for breakfast and their lunch served on plantain leaf is to die for. Yummy yummy food happy happy tummy

Food is goodrestaurant is cleanprice is reasonablethe place is crowded most of the time.limited car parkingno two-wheeler parkinggreat ambiencegreat place for Udupi style dishesNorth Indian style dishes not recommended. most of the dishes taste the sameservice needs to be improvedwill recommend this place for Udupi style dishes

Checked in at 5.00 am on 4th Aug. Got an early check in on payment of Rs454. The room was large spick and span with two towels, toiletries ,a refrigerator and a round table with one chair. WIFI was working well. Hot water came at 5.00 am in the morning. Fantastic location with Bangore central mall, metro station within walkable distance. Friendly staff at the reception counter. I did not try their restaurant. Highly recommendable for families but not for millenials. Cheers

Taste is worst.. doesnt carry the authenticity it once did.. and the staff try to impose their taste upon you... They dont take orders, they order for you... Avoid it.. its empty most of the times..

One of the oldest restaurants of Bangalore. Kadbu is a must try at Woodys.. Guess the invented it as well.. Coffee served is outstanding.. Over all one of the must visit South Indian restaurants in Bangalore. However, they is less parking space and usually difficult to get a reservation due to high demand. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food served.

Woodys veg restaurant next to Bangalore Central near JP Nagar is at prime location. Easy accessible. Rates are reasonable, tasty veg food. Value for money. Many choices to select. It has rooms. Prefer South Indian, evening snacks and must try tea 🍵.

Its a good place for a family visit. They have a party hall upstairs. On the ground floor they have an A.C sitting and a self service place. There is a parking place without any fee, even if it is filled, there are plenty of other places nearby to park your 2/4 - wheeler. The quality of food is good, but the problem is the time they take to prepare it. There is a minimum wait of 15-20 minutes, that being the minimum. Well, if youve got enough time and have a lovely company, this place should be on your list. Oh, and this place wont make any holes in your pocket. You get what you pay for.

One of the old and trusted vegetarian hotels in the city. Good food, good service and fair price. Varieties of vegetarian dishes are available with all South, North and Chinese food options. Meals are served on plantain leaf. Parking fee charged is deducted in the main bill.Enjoyed the lunch today with my family. This place is well known for snacks from Udupi and Mangalore regions.

Im in Woodys now and the rooms are spacious and have good air circulation provided with big windows. Hotel isInside the city and nice location to stay. Looks like a renovated building and the wardrobes are dirty and not maintained. I hate the bathroom which is see through set up like china and have only shower curtain to cover the glass partion. For the first time i have seen frequent power failure in a hotel. It look like the change over to genset and power, but more than 5 time in one night it happened.

Popular vegetarian restaurant close to Central mall. We have been here few times for morning breakfast as well for lunch. It is a self service restaurant, the prices are certainly on the higher side for a self service restaurant. Quality of food served is OK. Breakfast options are better than lunch option. The staff at the counter are good but service takes its own sweet time. No proper coordinate between billing and service counter and many times you will be forced to change the bills since items you ordered are not available or sold out. Coffee is good but priced higher for the quality they serve. If they focus on customer service and also relook at their pricing strategy they can give real competition to some of the new age restaurant. One thing, their traditional version called Woodlands is any day better.

Extremely delicious food and hospitality. If someone wants to experience a traditional way of enjoying kannadiga cuisine, this is a great place to go to. It also has north Indian and Indo-chinese food counters. The three seating areas are arranged nicely to cater to a group of friends or family. Their south Indian thali is recommended highly ! Additionally, woodys also offers deluxe rooms and the location of this place is very good.

Its no longer Woodys restaurant. It renamed as Shiv sagar. Been there for breakfast recently. Not a wide spread as a part of the breakfast menu. Was disappointed with the same. Ordered Meduvada and the dosa. Very Expensive. The quality needs to drastically improve.

Their south Indian food is still the best. Amazing dosas and the service makes it nostalgic. Their waiters are 50 years old and are with Woodys for more than 15 years. They are awesome. Also, the best part, they have parking for cars 😁

Very Very good

This place used to be so much better. I remember the time when this was an open restaurant with glass all over, such a beautiful view and the food was one of the best in Bangalore, today sadly apart from the fact that its right on the main road and is easy to access, I dont see a good enough reason to go there. Had been there was lunch yesterday, wanted to have North Indian, but we were told that only subji is available but no roti or any other tandoor items, reason - the person who makes rotis was on leave, strange that a restaurant of this size does not have a substitute for making rotis and the veg noodles and peas pulov had no salt in them and the taste is meadeocre at best. Dear Woodys if you are seeing this, pls talk to your chef, you have a lot of competition around you...

Good food, lot of space, very comfortable.Service, they may look lethargic but everyone knows what a customer wants and deliver. Sometimes they are like Google they try to suggest what you need to eat (its good/ bad).Nice south Indian food also north Indian. It feels little expensive but the way the hotel is we need to pay. Youll never feel its crowded. All other restaurants near this are over crowded, its like next table guy is into your plate. Here we feel relaxed.If you are taking elderly, its the best place. They take care of them. Its on ground floor, spacious, hot water, even late at 930 theyd serve coffee after your dosa.We feel happy about this place every time we go.

This is changed to Shiv Sagar, decor, service, place, very good. But i have not enjoyed the food. Ok. Three star for food

One of the oldest restaurant chains known. The place is same old with nothing new thats trendy. The food menu is the same since ages. The quality is good. The food is great. Overall its worth a shot if you dont have any other options.If you liked this review, please give a thumbs-up below!👇

Enjoy our visits always. Most hospitable. Good food. Wide choice. Fresh hot food available anytime thru the day.

Ordered for North Indian food items and it was a complete disaster. Service was delayed even though there was no crowd. Some items placed in the order was delayed. Place seems to be good on South Indian lunch variety only. If you are looking for North Indian then this is definitely not the place.

Its a moderately good place to stay for a day or two. Rooms are spacious, including the washrooms. The breakfast is the only good meal of the day. I personally would not recommend the food here. Also not a good option if u dont have ample time to waste as they take a long time to serve and u have to repeatedly remind them of your presence and your food order!

Nothing much to write home about. Old glamour is gone missing with the metro breathing down your neck in front. Overall a crammed feel about the place compared to some years ago, when the expanse, light and fresh air made it an exclusively perfect place for family outings

A good place for vegetarian food. Not much crowd, probably because many people dont find the food palatable! They have to improve the quality.

Old style - linen is very old - breakfast is very simple with out vada - low cost stay it is ok

Have maintained the taste from ages.. Good service. Delicious food.. Authentic South Indian meals.People who love banana leaf meals will love this place

Great Ambience and Silent. Lies on road and has parking place for 4-5 cars. Not sure if they have basement parking... Woodys hotel is also attached to the restaurant.

Very poor customer service and dishonest staff

Good traditional Karnataka food and vibe. Great service. Good ambient music on Bose system. Multiple Indian cuisines available. Banana leaf south meals are very tasty. Good place for families

Limited car parking, food taste was good. Their garlic naan was awesome

Woodys is an iconic establishment in Bangalore. It isnt well maintained like it was in its heydays. The food is still very good and would recommend the unlimited lunches served on a banyan leaf. Great overall experience.

Very nice place to have food. And moreover, price is also little cheaper compared to other hotels in that area.

Nice Veg Food

Humble...They need to be upgraded to the current levels of furnishing /finishing and the services

Decent place. One of the old restaurant in city. I loved the food. Quality and taste both are awesome. I liked the way its maintaining tradition with same presence. Worth visiting.

There has been a wierd constructional change. Restroom (that too a common one for men and women) is upstairs and one has to pass through the reception to reach it. Its embarrassing. Curd rice, kesari bhath are bad these days. It is more of water and little buttermilk added to the rice. They have started serving curd rice with meals instead of giving a cup of good curd as earlier. Chutney is really dull, with pudina added to it. North Indian rotis and kulchas etc are so hard. If we ask for soft rotis, they are undercooked. Curries are fine. Ambience is not so good as before. Disappointing change, really ☹️

A very reasonably priced restaurant serving tasty dishes with nice ambience . Can come for group outings.

This place lacks everything.May be its unfortunate that it is located in the main congested road in JP Nagar and there is now even Metro construction happening which adds a lot of dust and dirt into its building.The food is also not that great.They need to improve a lot in maintaining cleanliness.The place is spacious but lacks focus.

Overpriced for sure. Good for South Indian food only.Once I found loads of kadhipatta in chinese fried rice.. No Chinese sauces, only tomato ketchup. And when we requested to add some sauces, the cook said, I dont have the required ingredients, what to do? moral of the story : South Indian food : thumbs up everything else : depends on your luck factor!

This review is with respect to the restaurant (the snacks one). Very roomy and airy, but options are less for snacks or quick bites and there werent many options on a Saturday evening. The fine dine portion is probably okay as I havent visited there in quite some time. Quality and taste are neutral. Would rate it at 3.5 overall.

The hotel has a pleasant atmosphere. I have enjoyed he stay during my business trip

The restaurant part of it is really good. It is well maintained and quite clean and. The food quality is really good, the flavours are excellent. There is a counter where you first place your order then with the bill they give you, you are required to go over to the recpective place where they cook and get your order ready.

Really good enough for business peoples. Cleaness of towel and extra bed are have to maintain. Amenities are only on call. After all I will surely refer it to my friends... Booking through goiboibo saves me 1000rs....thanks to goiboibo

From name it seems to be very attractive. i eat thali the taste and items not good. i will not prefer to go again. i liked only puri which i asked against rice.

Good south Indian delicacies being traditionally prepared. They have vast experience in Hotel business.Self service as well service hall available for lunch & dinner.Good rooms at reasonable rent for family stay. Recommended for all.Parking for 4 wheeler in this busy area is advantage. Rest room available.North indiandishes are not up to mark !

Food is Absolutely Bad. Service is also very slow. Not recommended to go for food as der r much much & far Better places in & around Jnagar itself.

Its an old restaurant with lot of old people running it with all old items. All north Indian gravies are the same no difference but south indian is udupi type, I guess theyre good in that. Service is slow but on an empty Sunday noon lunch can be served faster.

Love the amazing dosa, south Indian veg pulao, roti sabzi and filter coffee they have. Add to this a good parking space (basement), and a huge dining space and you have the perfect place to enjoy your meal or simply relax n enjoy an evening. Do ask them for their special shavige bath and pathrode over weekends

Bisibelebath used to be my favourite, but now its doesnt taste as good as in 2015.Rest north Indian is okay to eat here. Coffee is good.

Sadly this iconic place is no longer worth stepping into.

1st week review:Good Hotel for family to stay, Hotel service can be a bit faster. Food is average but sometimes a bit oily. Have a Tokari chat 👌 @ this place, its thier unique item to have.New generation staff is required with new ideas and make a strategic change to the location. Hotel on a cash rich area, next to central mall, big bazar and manipal hospitals. Some more strategy can change the place in a more profitable hotel and best luxury hotel of the city2nd week: I change my views with regards to service. They are least worried about customers. Instead of reminding on daily basis they didnt took my laundry from room for 4 continuous days. No laundry bags available. If laundry is given at reception l, they say its not good to bring it here. I mean you dont have the solution and also ignore on the face. No hot water from last 2 days, they are not worried. I mean if you dont show your customer a hospitality, how do you grow.Hire a good English speaking staff, you are old in hotel industry but world has changed, thinking has changed and competition has increased.There are problems everywhere but one grows if solutions are made instantFinally, a checkout

Very traditional food , senior and friendly staff, simple and tasty food . Place is atleast 20 years old.. definitely a safe bet for any meal or coffee..very hygienic too and a superb location right beside Central

Food was worst. Servied us dry vada,sweet lime with stones in it & falooda with lots of sugar not recommended place and prices are too High but food is worst

Nice fine dining restaurant with a wide range to satisfy the diner with mughlai, Italian and south Indian food choices. Must visit place even though crowded on weekends.

Nice atmosphere..food didnt felt that good

Earlier the food n ambience was very good...now it has gone down

Nice place for a good south indian food. you can eat peacefully without someone breathing down your neck.

Parking an issue. Excellent service. Acceptable vegetarian fare. From Bangalore standards moderate price. Strictly for those who like south Indian Thali.

Good veg food Big place and conviinient for large groupsMeals on banana leaf is good, healthy, tasty and economical.

Had corn masala and kachori chat. Amazing taste.

Easy to reach cafe. Interior is spartan but spacious. Food is average - mostly south Indian snacks. Ambience is okay but gets very noisy as crowd swells. Good place for a quick coffee or bite.

Liked banana leaf lunch. Service is very good. Place is calm and chill.

Food and ambience used be wow with original big beautiful woody .Now its a make shift restaurant..I have been regular visitor over 10 yrs.Recently went with parents ordered on leaf thali...waiters not good poor service we had to ask for simple things like papad and desserts repeatedly.waiters were not interested we thought maybe bad day or coz of old age .mind it most waiters r very old timers..very old folks.while leaving we saw young South Indian family being happily served the same stuff in leaf thali without following up.We realised its Hindi vs local discrimination.Now am never going back.

Had a South Indian lunch served on a plantain leaf. Food was fresh and hot. Value for money lunch

Food is not great, wat I had is South Indian meal on banana leaf. I didn’t like it at all, it was horrible for me. Service is slow and poor.

I have been staying there of late very frequently . as I reviewed earlier they have good breakfast , banana leaf lunch and if course there is swiggy for your delights to order from nearby .its adjacent to the central mall. the rooms are tidy and family friendly

Very good place for vegetarians. Good food and good ambience

The food was so amazing and tastier , all over I loved the place and the staff hospitality. But they need to work on cleanliness as nobody comes after u leaves room for cleaning and maintenance .

A prominent landmark. I visit more for the nostalgia of a peaceful place this road used to be. Food is decent and it is served with lot of love. Do visit and enjoy

Well. I have never actually visited this place. But I use to always order online from Swiggy. The first two orders was awesome. Pizza was the best I have ever tasted. But later on, even when I order same pizza I was not getting the same one. It’s worst than ever! 7 inch pizza getting smaller, thin crust getting over cooked. Non veg pizza only has one or two chicken pieces on it. There is just a list of disappointments i have faced when I ordered again and again hoping to get that particular taste. I am thinking maybe owner changed or something that led to such deterioration. Anyway, I don’t recommend anyone to order online. Not sure if you can even visit this place, integrity and honesty should be the basic rules of a business. If you can’t do that, don’t forget customers has the right to choose what to buy, but you don’t have the right to choose the customers. Peace out

Quality of food has gone down a bit but still good food... Coffee is worth having. Good place for going with friends/family and having a good time.

We went to woodys for dinner. We ordered a masala dosa, kadubu and mushroom Manchurian which were good. Staff were very cordial and helpful. Ambience is about average. Totally worth it.

OK Place.. It has lost its charm

Couldnt give 5 star because of the food is highly priced.. there are better places than this for the same quality of food. Needs to workout on the pricing and keeping it on the move.

There are many sitting areas to eat in woodys 1 as soon as you enter 2 the table with bar stools and 3 the ac room. Food tastes fine but less quantity and high price. Customer service is amazing always someone to help you out but lavatory hygiene is disgusting it smells really awful.

Its a nicely located restaurant with good food & ambience. There is an indoor as well as outdoor sitting area. Good for a quick afternoon stop.

Cool joint but not what I was expecting it to be! Food was average, can still do better. Lacks cleanliness.

I like quality of food but very less quantity. Atmosphere is nice and clean. They are very transparent as they have open kitchen.

This place is super expensive in spite of the sub standard service, just okay seating and strictly limited menu. The Chinese dishes are the saving grace and in particular, the Gobi Manchurian. If youre in the area and want to grab a fantastic plate of Gobi, go here. If youre super hungry and want good food, this is not the place.
