Over-the-Rhine’s fast-casual Indian-inspired eatery Injoy Street Food announced that it has closed.
The restaurant began as a street cart, popping up at locations and events throughout the city, and opened a storefront at 1400 Republic St. in OTR in 2018. With vibrant, fresh ingredients and made-from-scratch options, the restaurant offered Indian-inspired cuisine that catered to health-conscious and vegan crowds on the go.
In a Facebook post on June 25, the team explained the reasoning behind their closure.
“We have discontinued our operations!” the post reads.
“Thank you for the wild ride and making us feel right at home in this special and cozy little pocket of OTR. Although functional, we have come to the realization that our current iteration of Injoy at 1400 Republic St. has an inherent cap on its potential. We struggled with what the best path forward looks like, and for now, that path leads us to suspended operations.”
Owners of Injoy Street Food thanked their customers for following along on their journey, concluding their post with: “The course changes, the dream continues, our paths will cross again.”
The announcement follows another recent closure on the same block. Columbus, Ohio-based, hand-rolled Bavarian pretzel shop Brezel closed its doors on June 23 — their decision was based on the effects of the city’s new parking laws.
