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

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.

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
