Proper Indian operates inside the 1 New York Plaza complex as a compact counter focusing on curry-and-rice combinations, snacks, and takeout-friendly Indian favorites. It’s best treated as a quick, practical lunch move for nearby offices, where you can assemble a full curry plate with bread and a drink in one order.
