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

Awful customer service – I was really looking forward to eating at Plainfield's because I had heard good things about it. My friend called to ask a simple question and was treated VERY rudely by the woman on the phone who basically held the receiver away from her mouth while she trash-talked my friend and included swear-words in the mix. We could hear every word she said and there was absolutely no reason for her remarks. I think its a pretty bad sign that we couldn't even make it in there without being treated rudely. This ... read more

Got cussed at over the phone for asking a question! WIll NEVER go there! – Somehow my recommendation got taken down by someone...I am not and have not ever worked there, so if that is your excuse, that's ridiculous. Don't make yourself look bad by taking down reviews. It makes me NOT want to go there MORE! I called there in December to eat with four friends because we live RIGHT next to Plainfields. I called over there to see if we needed reservations and ask if we could use our Passport cards (which are-buy one, get one fre... read more

Plain field manure - somebuddy hada do it... – We tried P.M. on a Monday evening. We had made reservations as indicated on their website. It was slow we we arrived. Three of our four person party were seated and we waited for our fourth. When she arrived the staff did not seat her nor did they indicate to her that we were seated. They just let her stand in the foyer and wait. dum. bad. The waiter (later I realized he is the *owner*) has a habit of leaning on the water pitcher will he talks to you. He rests his hands across t... read more

Fake Reviews for the most part. – This restaurant made me lose faith in Indian food. I had to go to Bombay Cricket Club(which was amazing) to restore my faith. If you order naan, do not expect more than a couple bites. The papadums tasted OK, but the six accompaniments left a lot to be desired(out of six, one was palatable). The entrees were basic and inoffensive, but for 25 dollars...yikes. They have an extensive wine list, but lack the proper staff to make reccomendations. If you enjoy being ignored without a reservation, ... read more

Old owners have returned, POOR QUALITY remains! – I love indian food and I've eaten at indian place around the world, including India. My conclusion concerning Plainfield's is... two thumbs down! Perhaps I caught them on a bad night, but I from what my palate gathered, this place is way overrated and way OVERPRICED. The food was very average with lots of deep fried items on the menu, a bad sign to begin with. The oil used for deep frying was OLD and the authentic sounding menu was way below par on the taste buds. I will not ... read more

Don't believe the reviews. – After reading rave reviews on Citysearch, I was expecting a fabulous indian meal. I was really disappointed. The food here is indian-inspired at the most. My husband and I both agreed that the food was the least indian-tasting food we have ever encountered. We've lived in big cities all over the country and had authentic indian food before, this is not authentic indian. We'll be wary of Citysearch recommendations in the future. Don't trust the rave reviews. Come here if you want expensive mediocr... read more

Plainfields Mayur under new ownership – I just visited Plainfields website and there is an announcement that Craig Plainfield has re-taken over operations of the restaurant. We posted a review a few days ago based on our experience in June. Many people in our circle have gone to Plainfields over the years and had wonderful experiences. When I started reading the reviews here, I was puzzled - it was either end of the spectrum. Nothing in the middle for the rating. We will have dinner there in the next couple weeks and will wr... read more

THANKS! WE ENJOYED THE MEAL. – Hey, not a bad place to eat if you want to bring your family. It's upscale for sure. From the decor to the dishes. I enjoyed the experience. I recommend the chicken dishes and the masala.
