Great food, the staff are very helpful. If you are looking for takeout on the healthier side this is a place to try. I would recommend. The restaurant is very clean and has a modern feel. read more

There's not a lot of affordable food in Midtown. There really isn't. This has been my go to a couple years now. Freshly made food in Brooklyn delivered here in amazing packages. Complete meals that are made with healthy ingredients. Look on the ingredients on this turkey sandwich and try to compare it to anything from any local deli. Yes it's a couple bucks more but it's worth it. It was delicious. What makes this a fantastic place to get your breakfast, lunch, or early dinner (because they close early and donate their leftover food to food banks) is the fact the staff here are so considerate, gracious, and helpful. I don't know where they find these employees but they are just priceless. If this was a publicly traded company, I would invest. From its marketing, to its quality of products, to its employees, it's becoming New York staple. read more

It's proper! Properly made, properly presented and served! Am digging this spot for my breakfast runs. I've been here twice already and there are so many things I'm itching to try. There's just so many days when I'm in the neighborhood. Ha ha The food pricing is decent and given the quality, I'm digging the taste. My recent purchase was scrambled eggs with mushrooms and potatoes topped with a sprinkling of cheese. The counter person even asked me how I like my cheese to be spread, like all around the top or just on one side. Thoughtful! The coffee here is good too. I've tried the latte here as well on my first visit. And that visit, I was so impressed with the food choices that I knew I had to return to try more stuff. The vegetable scramble was my first taste. If you're in the hood, it's a must visit especially if you're like me, can eat eggs any time of the day! read more

I'm a regular lunch pick upper here. This beautiful lady at the cashier with red lipstick always lights up my day. Great personality and extremely friendly. read more

can i just say wow in speechless! Came here and was IMMEDIATELY greeted with such kindness by all the staff. As they had a large catering order today I was offered more than what was out but I'm a simple gal plus they had my favorite buffalo chicken wrap out so I grabbed that as well as coconut water, a cookie, and coconut chicken curry soup and here are my thoughts: the buffalo wrap was amazing! the staff recommended it cold and can I stay a cold wrap with hot soup on a rainy day hit the spot! Plus the flavors were especially there with the coolness of the wrap. This wrap was also so filling!! I finished this and was like wow im pretty stuffed - cant imagine eating more but alas i had a soup to consume the soup: literally so full of flavors! the broath had the perfect curry coconut taste and tbh i could have drank the broat itself and been happy. the chicken was cooked very well and tender - plus there were some veggies and rice (or grain) in the soup to make it super hearty. big fav of this i actually need the recipe to remake - soooo good and i can tell the perfect cure if you arent feeling well best food and best experience - i HIGHLY recommend you grab lunch here or even ask your office to cater here you will not be disappointed:) read more

I ordered Proper Food for lunch last week because I forgot a lunch and wasn't working from my normal office. Proper offers delicious and fresh options that meet a variety of dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.). I originally had my eye on the Seasonal Grain Bowl but because the meals are prepared fresh daily ahead of lunch time what I wanted was sold out. I ended up getting the Curry Tofu Hot Plate and it was delicious! A friend ordered with me and she got the Turkey Avocado Sandwich which she said was good and fresh too. The pick up process was easy and our food was ready super fast. Proper Food is a great pick up or delivery option in the mid-town area! Highly rec! read more

Proper Food - Coconut Curry Tofu Hot Plate - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I had tried the Wall Street location but was not a fan. Nonetheless, I decided to give the midtown location a shot and the food was exactly the same. I ordered food for pickup. I almost feel bad for not liking the food because the interior was clean, bright and inviting, and the staff was friendly and attentive. They had my food ready when I arrived and even offered to heat it up for me in the store. I ordered the curry tofu with broccoli and rice. The idea was creative but the execution was disappointing - the tofu was a bit too salty, the rice was plain and the broccoli was bland, even with the curry sauce on top. Moreover the whole thing felt like airplane food, especially since it was wrapped similarly. The meal was disappointing overall and I will also not be returning to this location. read more

$17.95 for the winter salad, pre packaged, pulled from the fridge. It contained two wedges of oranges, paper thin slices of beets (no more than a slice of lemon they put in your soda), a spoonful of quinoa, a cold piece of salmon, and a WHOOOOOOLE box of leaves. The only reason I got this was bc I ordered it via Grubhub and wanted to try something new while I had a coupon to use. Even with the discount and I picked it up myself, it was a $13.26 salad. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the leaves were not rotten. It was over priced read more

Proper Food - Winter Salad with Salmon $17.95 - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I have Proper food another try today and I'm glad I did. I had the chimichurri salmon and it was really delicious! The salmon was perfectly cooked, the carrots and kale were fantastic, and I thought the potatoes were a nice compliment. Service was also friendly and they even helped me figure out how to download their app (because I'm getting old and apparently need help with technology now). I'll definitely return! read more

Proper Food is an awesome option when you want healthy and quick combined. The place is kind of small but there are few seats available for those who want to eat in. The service is friendly and fast and they even heat up your food if you'd like. The best part of the experience is learning that they donate all unsold food at the end of the day! read more

Proper Food - Loads to choose from! - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

This place sucks! Terrible experience. Food had almost no taste and looked bland. Will never order from this place again.

The staff is the best! Healthy choices. The only place to eat in midtown. Mad & 55th.

I stopped by Proper Food for the first time last week to try out this relatively new grab and go lunch spot during lunchtime. They carry a decent selection of pre-prepared foods. I got a $15 seared lemon pepper tuna salad, and it was extremely subpar. The salad came with a few slices of seared tuna, basmati rice, lentils, roasted almonds, tomatoes, kale, and a vinaigrette. The flavor was decent, but the salad was overall nothing special. I was still hungry after eating it. At the end of the day, Proper Food isn't bad, but it's hard to make a compelling argument to a get a small, subpar, pre-prepared salad for $15 when Sweetgreen is right around the corner. read more

Proper Food - Seared Lemon Pepper Tuna Salad - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Small cookie shop that also has some other little treats. I tried the nutella cookie on the counter and it was very good. They also serve sandwiches and other lunch items that looked pretty solid. Will check out next time The staff in here are also very nice and the service is quick. They were helpful and friendly. There are no tables only stools and a small counter. I chilled out while I enjoyed my tea and then left. Not much of an atmosphere but thats not why you come here. Overall, cool spot. Not much to report here. Looks like a grab and go place but no complaints from me! read more

This place is so close to my work that at first I was surprised I had never heard of it. There was a deal on the Ritual app to save a couple dollars on certain entrees so I decided to give it a try. I'm curious if the food is made fresh in the building or if they just order the meals and heat them up because as my friend put it "the chicken doesn't look like it was cut by humans". I wish they gave more curry with the meal because everything else was so dry. Just because something is supposed to be healthy doesn't mean it has to taste bad. A while after I ate this food my stomach started to hurt. I can't guarantee that it was due to this food, but I'd be willing to bet on it. read more

This location is near to my office and nice for quick grab and go. I like that they have hard boiled eggs at a reasonable price, but they are in the shell and the staff should be aware that they NEVER peel easily and you lose half of the egg getting the shell off. Also they are individually wrapped in cellophane, which is nice, but i put one in the fridge for a day and the cellophane had mold growing in it the next day which means whoever packed it had dirty hands. The location appears to be clean and the food looks fresh and packaged well, but the moldy cellophane (turns from clear to blue where bacteria is present) is something i have seen a few times now. read more

Great takeout especially if you're vegan. the miso stir fry and the green tea soba noodles feel like i'm eating real food and actually are filling rather than just a salad read more

Rude staff and bad food. I had the lemon pepper tuna over a side of soggy salad and hardened rice. Balsamic dressing was not good and did not compliment whatever was in the dish. Staff behind the counter are also rude. I had a MealPal order and did not know to not get from the fridge (since they're all premade and stored for people to grab), and they waited For me to take the item before disgustingly telling me that I should have asked them for a packed MealPal bag instead. Mind you, I was the ONLY one in the store and they watched me go to the fridge just to purposely reprimand me in the end. Horrible. read more

Not sure why anyone would give less than 5 stars. Food is excellent. Very fresh and nice large portions. One of the best grab and go spots in the city in my opinion. Hope more people support so this location doesn't go away. read more

Quick efficient way to get a healthy breakfast or lunch . Staff is cheerful, welcoming and prompt!

For being pre-made, this food is very good. A bit pricey but typical NYC prices.

So happy this location has re-opened, I am loving the new store vibe! Amazing customer service and a wide array of breakfast and lunch options. The lemon pepper tuna salad and lemon pepper salmon are my absolute lunch favorites. read more
