:   The distinctive vegetarian Indian cuisine restaurant was reopened on Thursday, June 28, 2013.  The ribbon cutting ceremony was done by the Chief guest Ms. Sally Flowers, Mayor of Artesia, followed by lighting of the lamps and offering prayers. There were about 200 guests invited guests. The owners Annu and Kerman Dungore, decided to reopen on this day, which is also the birthday of their son Shehzaad. 

The main focus of their restaurant is offering quality Indian vegetarian food especially South Indian cuisine.  They also offer north Indian varieties in the dinner menu.  Bearing this in mind they have chefs from Southern States of India, and Northern States.  Their mission is quality food at a competitive price. The manager Mr. Jay Ganesh is a graduate of University of Madurai in Hotel Management, with 18 years of experience in various States in the US, as well as other countries.  He has expertise in understanding customer base quickly, and tune the product and service according to their needs.  It has a full service bar and Julie is in charge of the full service bar, who is an expert in her field, quit her college education in Para-medical education in Texas to help the Dungores.  Woodlands has a banquet hall also which can accommodate about 200 guests for any occasion such as birthdays, anniversaries, or office parties.

 They will be celebrating Persian Food Festival in August and in March to coincide with Parsi New Year and Equinox (Navroz) to celebrate their cultural roots, though they have lived in Mumbai and Surat, where they have a booming Elevator business, before coming to the USA.  They reopened this restaurant more as a service to the community, rather than earning money, since there are not many vegetarian-only restaurants for the growing Indian population in this part of Los Angeles County.   They expressed their thanks to their erstwhile customers, friends, and well-wishers, a motivation for reopening.  They also thanked Mr. Siva Subramaniam, a real estate broker, well known in the local community who helped them renovate the restaurant with all new equipment, cutleries, and interior decoration, and in various ways.
Woodlands Artesia is located at 11833, Artesia Blvd @ Pioneer Blvd., Artesia, CA 90701.
