We all want to support restaurants blossoming out of commissary kitchens, but in a town with a number of authentic Ethiopian along Murfreesboro Road, this mainly has its location going for it, but with higher prices than the others yet lower quality. The others also allow dine-in experiences with proud owners, rather than order-by-app or touchscreen. The vegetable sambosas were good but missing the sauce shown in the picture (maybe missed hitting the option). The Yellow Lentil stew was ok but the picture shows more distinct grains, suggesting it might have been sitting awhile. The goat stew ($22) was not very trim, even for goat with more bones than we often get and "spicy" was medium. It did not have that complex bebere flavor. In addition, it was undercooked, leaving it chewier and more gristly than it should have been. The beet salad was good but the the onions were also red for the juice, a sign that it was not made the same day. The injera was refrigerated in its bag, also a sign that it was not made fresh--other places may buy theirs, but at least they are not served cold.
For a location near Downtown and the Church-Charlotte Hospitals, it is convenient now that others Ethiopians in the area have shuttered. So maybe Street Injera may serve a purpose. But at over $50 (self pickup), this was high for two given the quality for take away when other East African Restaurants serve generous, tasty combos that are fresher and more flavorful.
