Fodor's Expert Review Plainfield's Restaurant

Portland's finest Indian food is served in an elegant Victorian house. The tomato-coconut soup with fried curry leaves and the vegetarian and vegan dishes are highlights. Appetizers include the authentic Bombay bhel (puffed rice and crispy noodles) salad with tamarind dressing and the dahi wadi (crispy fried lentil savory donuts in a spicy yogurt sauce). Meat and seafood specialties include lobster in brown onion sauce and tandoori lamb.
