This was our first time. We were greeted at the door and sat quickly. All of our food arrived swiftly, and it was hot. The menu identifies gluten-free and vegetarian items.The space's acoustics are horrible for sound-sensitive people. The interior design does not use fabric, and the tables are close to one another, making private conversations difficult. This is the main reason we will not be back.The food was a culinary delight, living up to our high expectations. While we were aware that the menu prices would be on the higher side, we were taken aback by the cost of the specials. The most expensive item on the menu was around $29. We ordered two of the daily specials, which were significantly pricier. The server did not mention the prices of the specials [and we did not ask]. We never imagined the specials to be more than twice the price of the most expensive item on the menu.Do better, Ember. Helpful? Give this grl a thumbs up!

The food is really good, so I have enjoyed repeated experiences at this restaurant. However, recently, when eating with a larger family group, we were not given a check showing that gratuity was already included. This was after having to ask the server to remove items from the bill we didn't order/receive. The double gratuity was pretty significant seeing as it was a 6 person group and many ordered $50 specials (which we were not told ahead of time, but that's on us for not asking), drinks, appetizers and desserts. The reason for this review is that upon calling the restaurant and speaking with the owner, he assured me this would be taken care of. He said he would make sure his daughter (who takes care of accounting) would reach out. Two months later, she called and said that there was nothing they could do. The whole experience felt less than above board, which is too bad, because we really do enjoy the food. My husband and I both feel disappointment resulting in us no longer wanting to patronize Embur.

Great cooking, outstanding staff, international vibe.
I went for lunch between classes and ordered the half of chicken and fried rice and it was absolutely wonderful! The chicken was seasoned to the bone! Definitely will be going back.

Embur Restaurant ALWAYS have AMAZING FOOD. My definitely go to spot in Greensboro. Miguelina always speak!! Rio and Katie were wonderful as well and listened very carefully while making sure food was great!! I highly suggest this place!!
I've been coming to Embur Fire Fusion on occasion for some years now. Everything I've eaten here has been a wonderous experience to my taste buds. All my friends that come here love it. It's worth the ride from Winston Salem. I highly recommend it.
Had a great lunch with a great server. He was very polite and on top of everything. I forget his name but he has the curly hair and glasses. Awesome.

Absolutely phenomenal Peruvian food! Arguably the best in town. Went with my Peruvian MIL & my mom, who had never tried Peruvian cuisine, so we ate kind of family style.We ordered beef empanadas and yuquitas a la huancaina for appetizers & of course Inka Colas. Both appetizers were deliciously crispy yet soft on the inside, and the red sauce we also requested paired very nicely.For entrees we each got lomo saltado & shared a ceviche. Oh. Em. Gee. The steak MELTED in our mouths. The flavor in the saltado was amazing & the fries were crunchy as well. The ceviche was remarkable. The seafood also melted in our mouths and had a perfect balance of citrus and heat. My mom is not very adventurous with seafood, and she LOVED it. She thoroughly enjoyed all of the sauces and dishes, even the inka cola!Our server was great too, very attentive and was quick bringing back things we asked for (extra plates, straws & silverware, etc). Dishes also came out timely.We all left very pleased with our meal, from start to finish. We will definitely be regulars here! Absolutely delicious!
Embur is the best restaurant in Greensboro hands down. The chef needs a Mechlin star! The service is excellent, the taste is consistently superb and even their pizzas are delicious! Highly recommend the tropical salad, lomo soltado, the ceviche… You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, and always ask about the specials.

I always wanted to try this place and finally I went for lunch and it was super delicious! The environment was nice and informal, clean establishment. The service was good and everything that we ordered came to the table pleasantly hot from the empanadas, the fry yuca was excellent, the arroz choufa was super delicious, the chicken sandwich and French fries were great! It was tasty and a good experience.Prices are reasonable and food was plenty.
