Devotees of steam-table staples such as chicken tikka masala have their pick of evenly matched options, many of them quite good: Midtown’s Sitar, Green Hills’ Shalimar, West End’s Bombay Palace, the new Nolensville Road contender Taj (boasting one of the richest vegetable kormas we’ve ever tasted). But West End’s Woodlands fulfills another underserved constituency — vegetarian diners — while offering filling, intensely flavored South Indian dishes that won’t leave carnivores feeling shafted. Bonus points for the crispy golden-brown dosas, paper-thin crepes that come stuffed with everything from masala-laced potatoes to Szechuan-spiced vegetables.
