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

Upscale environs and a harmonious blend of exotic flavors offers a taste of colonial elegance. – In Short Housed in a converted Victorian, there are two floors of clothed tables appointed with bone china, silver and European crystal. Carvings of Hindu deities adorn each room. Upstairs, the tandoori-style kitchen allows diners to witness the magical transformation of culinary delights in the 1,000-degree oven. Entrees include the Bombay machi: tender chunks of Pacific halibut flavored with ginger, coconut and masala.
Romantic...Ambience, Service, Wine – I enjoyed the dinining experiece but did not feel the menu had sufficient variety to suit my interests. The food was well prepared and the presentation was excellent. I enjoyed the lamb, loved the cucumber salad, but found the naan subpar. Service was superior (however I went when the resturant was nearly empty so it was not a good test of their service during busy periods).
Everything was perfect – I just hosted my daughters rehearsal dinner here. It could not have been better. The food was wonderful! I had a few guests that were afraid of Indian food who went away happily amazed. We prearranged everything and the staff was easy to work with. They kindly helped me every step of the way and did not once become annoyed with the nervous mother of the bride. We have been dinning here for years and were excited to host our special occassion here. I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable my bill ... read more
Eat here only when dying of hunger – A friend and I recently visited Portland from Austin and had the greatest misfortune of trying Plainfield's Mayur for dinner. We ordered Baingan Bhartha (mashed eggplant), bhindi curry (okra) and vegetable korma. The food could not be any worse. The bhindi was half cooked, the eggplant was too salty, the vegetable korma was edible at best. The ambience is nice and the art display is good, but unfortunately a restaurent is not a museum -- FOOD IS THE FIRST PRIORITY.
Saturday night downer – We have eaten here twice - once with a large group and once with a small family group. The food is so disappointing. The chicken tikka masala was made up of only poor quality brown meat. The plates are cold. The starters were average. Unfortunately we could not recommend this restaurant for atmosphere, food or service and, on both occasions, our minds have been open but the final result was not worth the effort of a drive to down town. SORRY but a big thumbs down. We have eaten Indian food in many cou... read more
Plainfield's Not Really for indians – I agree Plainfield's has an extensive wine list and everything inside the restaurant reminds me of India. But I am sorry to say that the food was very disappointing and the wait staff was not at all knowledgable about the food. My husband usually eats just about anything you give to him but he couldnt even take two bites of Makhani Murg. The naan was flaky like a pastry instead of being fluffy. I wouldn't recommend Plainfield's Mayur to anyone who wants real Indian food. Anyone with a re... read more
Incredible Appeal – My husband and I recently visited Plainfield's to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Though the food, ambiance and service were all of a very high caliber, not to mention the impressive wine list, the atmosphere was entirely unpretentious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone in need of an excellent dining experience; formally attired or not.
EXCELLENT! – I was a student at UP and was assigned to try a different culture (through food, dance, etc.) and I chose Mayur. I brought a few friends and we were all blown away. The food was incredible, the atmosphere was great. I didn't think the price was too steep since college students were able to afford it and still have cash in their pockets! I can't wait to go there again!
As good as it gets! – I have eaten at Indian Restaurants all over the world, but Plainfields sets the standard for my expectations now. Not only is the food great, but the wine list is one of the best I have seen any where let alone an Indian restaurant. It is evident that the owners are passionate about what they do. I had a 1972 Heitz cellars cabernet for only $64.00! It was great, not the perfect match with the food, but who cares! I would drink that wine with anything at that price.
