Plainfield's Restaurant

My boyfriend and I went here on my birthday in July . We'd seen online that they stay open until 10pm on weeknights. It turns out they are only open until 9pm, but they stayed open for us! And they treated us very special too. The food was amazing. My boyfriend is an Indian food connossieur and he loved it. Lovely outdoor seating, great servers, well, all the staff was great. I'm a vegetarian and he's a meat eater and we both loved it here. We took the server's recommendations on an appetizer and entres and they were excellent. Definitely recommend for special occasions!! Pros: service, food, outdoor seating, presentation Cons: price (but it's worth it on special occasions), hours aren't clear more

The food is good, the service nice and the menu diverse. The price is a little high, but worth it for the atmosphere. Don't sit in the back because it's cold. It's not as crammed as India Grill and more upscale than Swagat. Overall, nice place to bring a date. Pros: nice atmosphere Cons: parking more

For excellent Indian food and a delightful dining experience, head to Plainfield's Mayur. The restaurant specializes in traditional preparations taking full advantage of available local organic and sustainably produced ingredients. Tell your friends; support the new owner commited to delivering quality and good taste at this venerable Portland establishment. Our family enjoyed dinner at Plainfield's this evening. We look forward to many return visits! more

we were there last night. we had a memorable evening. we received wonderful service. we are vegetarians and our server recommended a delicious combination of mung bean and some other dish with an amazing indian wine. service was great. food was amazing. there was some event at pge park with fireworks it was cool! theres a great view from the restaurant parking lot. our server was gracious enough to offer us to take our dessert to the parking lot to enjoy the prime view. we had a very romantic evening. you get what you pay for. we got what we paid for. we got an amazing evening that and we left a 40% tip because our eveninig was that amazing. pay no mind to the haters. they're a bunch of losers who have yet to write something nice. check out their profiles. losers....who goes on citysearch just to hate. losers.. get some therapy. losers... us.. real people.. non losers... Pros: great food great service Cons: some people bring their kids. for gods sake get a babysitter!!! geez!!!! more

I am not a loser. Losers are people who go online and post fake reviews about their establishments in hopes that people will come. Losers are owners so desperate for business they go to these extremes to pull in ""clients"". Sad. Don't dine here or waste your money. Bombay Cricket club is fantastic!!! Pros: Food was decent--- nice variety in menu Cons: HOT HOT HOT in dining area--- and we were the only ones in there. Yuck! more

Great vegetarian fare and the staff is very friendly. The restaurant is located so close to PGE park that dinner and a game can be had within walking distance of one another. Pros: food and service Cons: a little pricey more

From the moment i walked through the door i it was made sure of that i was completely happy. I felt pampered, unlike most of the Indian restaurants i have been to. The food here is phenomenal. The service is great. And the place has a special kind of aura that lifts your spirits and warms you up inside. You can tell that the servers really care about your happiness by the glow of there faces. The owner cares so much about her costumers that she is at the restaurant most of the time supervising everything. Out of the dishes, I really can't pick a favorite! They are all so delicious! I cant really say anything i don't like about this place, when its hot out it gets pretty hot up stairs, but we just go sit outside. I love everything about this place. ;) Pros: Everything!!!!!! Cons: kinda hot upstairs (just sit outside, beautiful flowers!!) more

Plainfields was always a special place for us and our family members visiting from out of town. The last couple of times we called to make a reservation we were unable to get anyone on the line. Finally we decided to just show up and order food to take home. The meal was still delightful but not as wonderful as usual (tough and dirty-tasting scallops) and then we heard the rumor that they are under new ownership. Everyone working there had always been so helpful and knowledgeable and this does not seem the case anymore. We also heard that the new owner had promised to keep all of the old staff (that we loved) and apparently let everyone go only one month later. I'm hoping this is not true because we hate to lose our favorite restaurant in Portland. Was it possibly just one bad night? Can anyone shed some light? Pros: rich, exotic flavors Cons: a bit expensive to possibly be disappointed more

The restaurant could have used some air conditioning, and the waiter could have been a little more on top of things, but this was seriously the very best Indian food my husband and I have ever had. We're already talking about going back... again and again and again. Who knew okra could be so delicious! Pros: food better than we thought possible! Cons: really expensive for serving size; slow service; hot, sticky atmosphere more

My dinner this past weekend was full of suprises, not the ones you would like when going out to eat. My wife and I had dinner reservations for our anniversary. Plainfield's USED to be our favorite place to come and enough some classic Indian food. Our server did not know the menu well enough when we asked about Vegan items. No knowledge of the wine or drink list. Our food came out cold. \r \r I am very bewildered by all this. What is going on? I bunch of ""I'm sorry."" from the owner doesn't rececify an awful dinner, which they are charging over $30 a plate for some entrees. No way. Never again. I'd rather keep my money and take my wife someplace else.\r \r Never again.\r more

Wow, I'm glad I stopped by this place, but I might have just missed it if I hadn't missed a turn. This cute restaurant is right off the freeway and tucked at the end of a busy street. We decided to eat here as the place looked so exotic. Even in the light mist, there were a few patrons in the patio area. We sat inside the restaurant. The decor is very stunning. It is very much like a museum with authentic hangings on the wall. I've been to India and I'm not sure if these items are widely sold in the market. It gave me something interesting to look at while I was eating. My mother in law who was with me loved the place! Like all the reviews below, the food is incredible. This is the highlight of the restaurant. The appetizers came out quickly. There was a little bit of a wait for the food but it was well worth it. Savor the time, look at the decor, because when the food comes out , you won't be disappointed. If you don't know your dishes well, ask the waiter, he was very helpful. We opted for dishes we were familiar with, but the choices are quite broad that you could get lost in the translation. I might try something different the next time I'm in town. It was fun. Yeah, definitely try the place. Pros: Loved the food Cons: Weather can get a bit gloomy in Portland for outdoor seating more

Really good food. The Indian food in Seattle don't quite compare to this one. They offer quite the bank for the buck both quality and quantity. It's like one of those places you might find on Greenlake. It's in an old mansion. The air is a bit thick on warm days, but the aroma of the food helps to make it better. It's one of those must-eat places for the Seattlite who likes the smaller mama and papa places. Really cute. The waitstaff are friendly even though they are quite busy. They do a good job. Kudos to Plainsfield Mayur. Pros: Good place to eat. Good food. Cons: more seating in nice patio area would be great! more

My friend and I were at Plainsfield Mayor on Saturday night. We didn't have reservations and it was busy. it didn't take too long before we got a table and was seated though. We had the Baingan Bharita for appetizers. It's amazing how much they give you. We also ordered the Royal Biryani that was nicely touched with silver edible foil (neat experience!!) The owner/hostess explained this to our amazement. There's also a nice window that's fun to watch. You can actually see them making the garlic naan. Well, I don't know much about Indian food, but I would definitely try this one again. The food is very good and the people are so friendly. Oh and the wine goes great with the food. Good selection. Pros: Good array of food selection and wine choices Cons: Can get busy more

I come to Portland often for business. Last week was my first time at Plainsfield Mayur. The food was amazing! I'll definitely come again. Pros: Food food food! Outstanding. Cons: They are working out the kinks more

The service was friendly. I can tell the owner is new but learning fast. She was honest about it. No big deal. No long waits, just happy staff. Can tell they get along well. The staff was very welcoming. Poor lady, after getting all my food I wanted to sit outside in the patio. She was pretty nice about it too. The food is exceptional. Cook came out to talk to us. Definitely don't want to miss the food here. The tomato coconut soup is really good. I called for a second. Overall nice place to eat. Will definitely be back for more. Sit in the patio area on nice warm days. Give the owner a break, folks! I'm a long time patron and will continue to be one. I agree nice change in ownership. Pros: excellent food Cons: can get a bit warm in some areas on patio more

2nd time eating at Plainsfield Mayur. Quaint place with nice decoration. We ordered 3 dishes for under $50 and still some to take home. This is a meal for 3 people. Can't beat that. The food was delicious. The waitstaff tries extra hard to make the evening a delightful one, and it was. Good work Plainsfield. Nice change of ownership. more

I wanted to do something nice for my wife of three years for our 3rd anniversery. I made a reservation at Plainfields and was blown away. the atmosphere was very pleasent. the food was great, and the service was beyond what i expected. thanks plainfields, i will be a faithful customer for many years to come. Pros: everything was perfect Cons: there were none. more

We have never tried Indian food and happened to run across this establishment on the way back to California. It's not too far from I-5. We didn't know what to order, but the server recommended 3 reaally wonderful chicken dishes. (I love chicken.) The service was friendly, the server was informative, and the experience was on of a kind. I highly recommend. The owner was charming. Not sure what people are griping about. We were seated promptly. Very good experience. Pros: good server, good hostess more

The BEST Indian food ever. I luv luv luv the velvet butter chicken. The sauce was Intensley velvety and buttery... YUM YUM YUM :) Even my children who always complain were silent during the meal. We were all sharing and so happy. The whole experience was so pleasant. As a single mom who doesn't get out often for dates; this beats any date night. By the way, the envoronment was romantic cozy and very clean. Everyone was high energy and accomadating with the children. We can't wait to go back to our new favorite place...;) more

If you want to have a truley excellent dining expierience, then Plainfield?s Mayur Restaurant is the place! I have never been a big fan of Indian food, but this place is amazing.

We tried a new addition to the menu that she suggested and the wine list was exceptional. The atmosphere was elegant and relaxing and the location is nice. The new staff was great, they were prompt, friendly, professionally and very attractive. It seemed like everyone was having a good time. I would highly recomend this place to anyone who is looking for a romantic night out. Two Thumbs Up!!! Pros: Ambience, Service, Excellent Food Cons: Location more
