I've eaten at scores of Indian places all over the western US, and one thing is certain - I've never had Indian food quite like Plainfield Mayur's. Maybe this sounds like a good thing. It isn't. To be fair, I must say that our Dahi Wada was excellent. Unfortunately, everything is unusually expensive. Our food was excessively greasy and bland. The royal biryani ($18) was drenched in butter and, sadly, sorely lacking flavor. We were so disappointed that we took more than half of our food to go and let it spoil in the fridge at home. We were not asked how spicy we wanted our dishes (as several other tables were), so it's possible that our meal was prepared as if we were allergic to spices. I can only hope. Perhaps that would explain the 50 minutes between placing our order and receiving our food. Including the 25-minute wait for our ""reserved"" table, we were there for nearly 2.5 hours! Maybe it was a bad night for the kitchen. It certainly was for us.
Pros: Easy parking, friendly waitstaff
Cons: Overburdened waitstaff, VERY greasy/heavy food, complete lack of spice
