Where to Eat Inside the Maine Mall in South Portland?

A lot has changed since the Maine Mall first opened in the early '70s, and while many stores have come and gone (we see you, Jordan Marsh and Sears), so too have the places to eat.

Remember when there used to be a York Steak House? Or what about the Lobster Boat Cafe that was literally like you were sitting on a lobster boat?

While those two spots are no longer around, there are a number of other places that have solidified themselves in the mall to satisfy your hunger.

And there continue to be new restaurants making their mark as well.

In fact, the Maine Mall posted on its Facebook page that Aromas of India opened at the end of March 2026. This place, which serves up authentic Indian food, took over the location for what was once Soul Food Paradise and an Arby's.
