About this business
Thank you to all of our loyal customers and greetings to those of you who are just now finding us. We have had the pleasure (and sometimes headaches) of being in the hospitality business for over 30 years. We are continuing in our tradition of presenting wonderful ingredients and offering a world class collection of Wines, Ports and Madeira to match. We have kept many of our upscale Indian dishes and added some exciting non-Indian dinners with our Chef's Whimsy Wine Paired events. We are still located in the Meirs mansion on... read more

Great Indian Food – Plainfields Restaurant has an old world classy feeling, it is also a nice quiet dining experience. It is our favorite place to go. This is a great place for vegetarians we usually order the warm and flaky, vegetable samosa, the fantastic royal Biryani and Palek Paneer. The food is always perfectly seasoned with wonderful fresh vegetables that are in season. The food is superb, the atmosphere perfect. The wine selection is extensive and they have been kind enough to create a blend for us that is a wonderfu... read more
Great food, not for families with children – My wife, 18-month-old son and I stopped by after the Zoo Lights last weekend, having heard great things about the restaurant and not wanting to travel too far for food. Cut to the chase - the food was very good, comparable to Bombay, Vindalho, etc. Unlike those, however, where we have been with our young son, Plainfields does not have a single high chair or booster seat to accomodate families. Simply dumbfounding. Again, great food, and on a "date night" we'd come back. Just not w... read more
Excellent food – Hands down this is the best Indian food in town. Everything here is done with a true chef's touch and it shows in the details. With that said, we probably won't be back, and here is why. The prices are just way to high. They are double the price of other good Indian restaurants. The place was nearly empty when we were there, and it certainly wasn't because of the food, it's the prices. I agree with another poster here that some changes need to be made. The inside needs some updating with some rich, bold colo... read more
One Amazing Meal!! – Last week my partner and I decided to once again to continue out quest for real authentic Indian Fare. Boy did we score! Plainfields, who would have guessed that tucked away on sw 21st (near PGE Park) there is place serving the most wonderful and flavorful Indian grub. First Impression: Beautiful building, a huge victorian mansion. Mango wood carvings adorn the wall, while the fireplace in the main dinning room gives off a warm glow. Crystal lighting fixtures really complete the elegant feel. Service: We... read more
Not very Indian – First impression: cute and romantic. Some have said the decor is tacky but I think the white walls, Indian carvings, fresh orchids, tarnished silver serving dishes, low light and mosquito net curtains are nice. Sort of "Disneyland does Indian restaurant." In a good way. Menu: Beautifully written, with thorough descriptions and a good mix of well-known dishes and more exotic fare. Service: Warm, intelligent server had a bit too much personality for my taste (jumping into our conversation), but she was good. ... read more
Wow! great night out – I dined last night at Plainfields Restaurant. We sat on the patio which I think must be the best in Portland. It is in the back away from the street. Beautiful and elegant. My friend and I shared everything we ordered and were delighted by the size of the servings. The duck dish was melt in your mouth tender and the vegetarian selection had the best sauce. We also got an order of sauteed greens with homemade cheese and wild mushrooms that was so fresh and yummy I was glad there was some left to have fo... read more
Good Food, but Overpriced – I have been there twice in the last three weeks and received wonderful food and good service. The food was really good (not overly salty as other reviews mentioned) and had lots of flavor. I eat a lot of Indian and found that this food had some really unusual and tasty combinations, like their cardamom nut sauce vegetables which are currently my favorite. The portions were pretty small for the price, and the two vegetable based entrees had very small numbers of vegetables. On the other hand, the m... read more
Madam Anonymous, Please Let it Go. – I have not dined at the Plainfield's Mayur Restaurant since the return of its original owner(s). Although I am certain your food and service have returned to its glory days of yore. This note is to the woman who owned the restaurant briefly: I ask you to, please, let it go. The restaurant business is very competitive. Most restaurants fail, even in the hands of experts. Let it go. Hiding behind anonymous accounts does not hide the obvious writing of the author. Let it go. You're better th... read more
I thought I would weigh in on the reviews on this site. A person that has not been involved with the restaurant since July 2007 has nothing better to do then make up false reviews to asuage her crumbled ego. This pathetic cry for attention or spite should not be taken to be a testement to what we do at Plainfields. Please disregard any reviews on this site and try us out for yourselves. We have been in business for over 30 years and have always done our best to serve our customers. Thank you for your attention.
