We went here for a friends birthday and had a blast! While small the decor is edgy and cool but clean at the same time. Our server was so nice and fun! The food was absolutely amazing. Portions were huge and everything came out piping hot. This was my first experience with embur and I will be back! read more

Overall, a decent place. I ordered the empanada, which was pretty good with a flavorful filling. The yuca fries were also solid, crispy and well-prepared. For my main dish, I had the half roasted chicken with a side salad and red sauce. The sauce was very spicy, which I personally enjoyed. The chicken itself was good, nothing extraordinary, but certainly not bad. The service was fantastic, very attentive and friendly throughout the meal. read more

Embur was a great experience! Three of us grabbed lunch today and this was my first time trying it! I got the chicken empanada, house salad, and Ronda Caliente. The salad was light and refreshing with an amazing vinaigrette. The empanada was baked and filled with flavorful chicken. The waiter brought us an array of sauces. I loved the pico, the green sauce, the yellow sauce and the chimi churri. The Ronda Caliente was delicious. It comes with skewers of shrimp, salmon, chicken, and beef. I subbed my salmon skewer for a chicken one which they were super accommodating about. We all enjoyed our meals and the staff were wonderful! The restaurant was spacious and clean with an open layout. read more

I have never had anything bad here! And I never get a picture because I've eaten it all before I get a chance to, Lol! My go-tos are the empanadas and either the beef or the seafood chafua which is basically fried rice. Delish! The staff is always helpful and friendly. It's a quaint spot tucked just off of the main road. They do have a bar and take out also. read more

Delicious food. Croquettes- perfection. Scottish salmon - perfectly cooked. Veggie pizza- on point. Do yourself a favor- visit soon and enjoy the food. We dove right in and didn't even let the phone eat first. read more

If you're looking for a real Peruvian restaurant, you've found it! The atmosphere is pleasant and the service is very good! We ordered the shrimp iza as a starter, which is a super refreshing and light appetizer. The lomo saltado was well-made. Now, the highlight is the ceviche: very well-served, appetizing and beautiful! The kind of dish that makes you feel happy at the end! The only thing I would point out is the lack of a changing table for mothers with children. Other than that, I already want to go back! read more

I haven't been here in years and I am not sure why because I've been missing out. This place is fantastic, everything is delicious - made well and the service is outstanding. I really enjoyed the beef empanadas as an appetizer. I ordered a strawberry mojito Mocktail that was absolutely amazing and fresh. The Lomo Saltado was cooked to perfection and to top it off we got a tiramisu that was insanely good. I need to start coming back more often! It's a killer. read more

Had to cure my churrasco craving! While the dish was absolutely delish the price tag was high for the portion. The skirt steak was seasoned very well but keep your water near by there is some spice there that may catch you off guard! The house rice was also very good but I would have liked a larger portion with the price tag or perhaps an additional side. The atmosphere was lively for Friday lunch hour, nearly full. The bartender was nice and quite excited to show off his exceptional mojito skills. I look forward to returning to try the lunch special and empanadas in the future. read more

Embur is in my opinion the most consistently good restaurant in Greensboro. The food is made with love and care that you can taste. The servers are all friendly and professional and the owners really care about the customers. If you haven't tried it yet you should, but be prepared to wait because it is a small space and becoming more popular all the time. read more

I still haven't had a bad meal here, not even a mediocre meal! My wife and I came for the rotisserie chicken. That was flavorful and tender, and came with a tasty, creamy sauce. The side choices are rice and beans, house rice, or what my wife and I chose, steak fries AND a salad. Yum to both. The fries had a semi course salt and the salad greens and tomato were perfectly fresh. The service was very good: prompt and friendly. We sat outside because the inside was a bit chilly. If you haven't been here yet, you're really missing out! read more

Another visit to Embur to enjoy a delicious meal w the family. They have a good selection of Peruvian dishes, but my favorite food is ceviche. We all cleaned up all our plates and ordered chicken to go. They also have inka Lola and chicha morada if you want the full experience. Service is outstanding! Love the interior, there's a bar area and patio seating. read more

Definitely one of the top restaurant in Greensboro! I honestly can say I've never heard anyone say anything negative about this place (other than it always being packed so you might have to wait). On that note they only take reservations for parties of 6 and more. Their chofas are literally amazing. I highly recommend their salmon. Also my brother got the flank steak and he said it is the best steak he's ever had. They have large portions which I love and their pricing is pretty good for what you get. When the weather is nice you can eat outside adding extra dining space. Its a pretty lively atmosphere with tables pretty packed into their space. They are also pretty popular for to-go orders if there is a wait or you would rather eat at home! Staff is friendly and professional. 100/10 recommend!!! read more

Embur - Shrimp chofa - Desserts Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Just updating my review. This is one of our go-to spots in Greensboro. Great options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and everyone else! Pizza and Peruvian Food plus fantastic service, a cute space, and great food are a total win! Parking can get tight and there can be a wait, so not ideal to show up with a large group without calling ahead. Highly Recommended! read more

The food at Embur has been amazing both times I have ordered takeout. The first time I got the wood grilled vegetable pizza and the second I got a chicken empanada. The quality of service was great as well, although it was takeout, I felt well assisted and it was friendly. I can't speak to the ambiance because I haven't been inside yet, but if it is anything like the folks working there and the food, then it is definitely worth a visit! read more

The hallmark of great restaurants in my opinion is consistency and Embur has never disappointed us. We enjoyed dinner with friends and once again Embur delivered a tasty meal. The ladies both had arroz chaufa, one with chicken and one vegetarian. The roasted quinoa on the vegetarian really framed all the other flavors extremely well. That was a highlight. My friend had the skirt steak which was presented as ordered, a perfect medium rare. I went traditional and had a half rotisserie chicken and I opted for the black beans and rice as a side. What I love about the Peruvian chicken is how all the seasoning is infused in the meat and not just imbedded in the skin. Even the white meat is juicy and loaded with flavor. Peruvian spices are not hot or overpowering. I would say it leans more toward a Greek/Mediterranean profile. Service was attentive and friendly. We sat outside which was incredible comfortable. If you are in the market for a casual and reasonably priced dining experience then you need to give Embur a try. read more

I love everything about this restaurant! Although it's small, I found the inside to be intimate and cozy. The young lady who waited on my husband and I was very accommodating, friendly, and patient with us being this was our first visit. Everything we ordered was delicious! My husband is Puerto Rican(I never had ceviche until I met him so he's my teacher when it comes to ceviche) and he said that was the best ceviche he has ever eaten. I ordered the skewers from the appetizers. We were served chicken, salmon, shrimp, and steak with 2 roasted wedges of potatoes! If I didn't share with my husband this could be an entree alone. I also ordered the calamari and shrimp rice! The calamari was overcooked and had a rubbery texture to them but the rice and shrimp made up for that flaw. The rice was firm and tender, fresh veggies were incorporated into the rice along with chargrilled shrimp!! Yum!!! I thought the sauce that was served with my rice fell flat in comparison to the flavor over the rice. I asked if they possibly had a sriracha type sauce. Our waitress suggested their red sauce and it complimented the rice perfectly. We ended up ordering the house bread which was like a pizza oven flatbread. We had infused olive oils to drizzle on top. Everything was delicious! A few little minor things that can easily be overlooked to the point I still give restaurant 5 stars! We will definitely return. read more

This is such a cool place...literally. It was a little chilly despite the name and vibe so bring a jacket :-) The food was amazing!! The arroz chaufa was so flavorful. I got the salmon and gluten-free version and it was so on point!! The service was great - they refilled our drinks, checked on us regularly. The black beans were good too. But, the maduros were in a class by themselves! Just excellent! It was early when we went so I didn't have a drink or dessert, but next time it's on!! read more

We went to Embur for dinner based on recommendation from someone who grew up in Greensboro. It is billed as Italian Peruvian fusion. It was fantastic. We started with Fornarina - flat bread with pepper-infused and rosemary-infused olive oil. L got Arroz Chaufa - stir fried jasmine rice, green beans, cabbage, peppers, zuchinni, bean sprouts, egg, and chicken. She definitely got the best dish of the three of us. J got 1/4 dark meat Pollo A La Brasa - Peruvian wood charcoal-grilled rotisserie chicken and black beans and rice. I got Lomo Saltado - pan-seared filet mignonette, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, and rice. The filet bites were out of this world tender. We will definitely make a return trip. read more

Food was great. Drinks were delicious. Service was wonderful as well. We sat at the bar. We had a new waiter, but he did a fabulous job- and the team was super helpful while he was learning! We will be back for sure. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly! I loved the appetizer olive oil flat bread! read more

food tastes great but it was a minimal amount compared to the price, ordered a lomo saltado and got 6 small pieces of beef along with it. service was fine, and it was also a nice looking place. just very miffed about the price read more

Wow, this is one of the best meals I've ever had! I had the churrasco skirt steak with chimichurri and it did not disappoint. The steak was tender, cooked to perfection and seasoned amazingly well. It paired wonderfully with the chimichurri. The service was good, there was quite a long wait for the food but they were very busy. It's a very noisy place, small and the sounds just seem elevated making it difficult to hear those you are dining with. If you're in the Greensboro area and want a fantastic meal, give Embur a try! read more

Embur - Churrasco Skirt steak - Desserts Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

The food was amazingly delicious . The steak was tender and cooked perfectly and the rice and veggies had an amazing flavor. The service was excellent. Definitely recommend if you are looking for something new and different. The only complaint is the size of the serving for the price. Don't come hungry unless you have deep pockets. 2 entrees 1 beef empanada and drinking only water + 22% tip totaled 52.89. Would I come back yes, the food is very good. read more

Embur - Arroz Chaufa w/Beef so delicious - Desserts Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Peruvian cuisine has been slowly making its presence felt here lately in the triad. Options are truly endless with their unique cooking methods and flavors that are sure to charm your palate. The wood charcoal-grilled skirt steak was the obvious choice for me. Cooked medium-rare and swimming in a chimichurri bath, the ebb and flow of tender and charred crispiness bites is something to admire. Pairing with draft Stella Artois made this experience exceptionally pleasing. I would love to return to try many other items from their menu, from the fresh ceviche and imported specialty wine to numerous other authentic offerings. read more

First of all sorry about not having any pictures but my wife and I got here about 1:30 for lunch and we were so hungry we dove right into the food. I must say first of all that the service was not very good. We waited a few minutes probably 5 to be seated there were many tables open and the place was pretty dirty. We were seated and brought some water but never asked if we wanted anything else to drink and finally the waiter asked if we wanted something else and my wife asked if there was a drink menu and then he pursueded to ask if she wanted one and it was kind of like well yeah that's why we asked. We split a half Peruvian chicken with a side of yucca fries. I will say that the flavor of the chicken was very good but the chicken breast was very dry and the yucca fries were very crispy on the outside but kind of rubbery on the inside. We also noticed that the waiter was cleaning tables and then without washing his hands went to the kitchen and picked up a plate and wrapped his thumb around the edge of the plate and then delivered it to a table and at one point he was taking order from a table and was sitting on the table next to it. He also complained to us about the restaurant being too busy. They only have a 94 rating and I guess I can see why. I don't think we will be back and it's a shame because we have many people that have told us the absolutely love this place. read more

i've been here several times. i like it, it's pretty good peruvian food fusion, but you can find good peruvian in greensboro for much, much cheaper. i'm a ceviche lover so that's what i normally get, but i have tried their salads, chaufas, and i love the yuca fries. good drinks, too. i heard the pizza is a hit, which i have yet to try, but tbh it feels weird ordering pizza in a peruvian place the inside is clean albeit a lil boring & the service is always good. only downside is that if it gets busy it gets very hard to hear. read more

Good food and service l highly recommend this place the consistency of your plate is the same every time.

I do not see myself going back to this restaurant. Before, was always curious to see how their food is since we do normally see a lot of cars there on the weekends. The food, very bland and hard for me to say it's close to anything authentic. Very watered down and lacking of flavors. The chicken: the dark meat was good but absolutely would not recommend getting the white meat - very dry. Even asking for any sauce to go with it, it was very watered down and server didn't even explain what it was, just dropped it down and walked away. A couple of visits, I wanted to try their pizza since it did look good being served to others, and you notice the large brick oven from entrance. Both times I tried to order, they said they were out of pizzas AND sandwiches - which is literally half the menu. This wasn't even told first hand, only after we tried to order, so now there's more time wasting and fumbling around what to order, trying to find a backup option (and other options do not sound great). To make things worse, as we were leaving, I noticed a pizza being served and right in front of our faces too, can't make this up. The service was pretty much not welcoming and non-existent. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Disappointed with this experience. I got the food to go, a good choice since the place was packed. I ordered the lomo saltado since I was looking for a gluten free item and their pollo asado seems to have gluten. The lomo was subpar, sliced in fajita style long pieces and dried. Lots of tough spots on the meat and the fries were horrendous. read more

What a wonderfully ran restaurant. Hidden gem. I'm reluctant to review just bc I want to keep it all to myself. I love Peruvian food and this place does not disappoint. Ceviche is top notch.

Everything about this place is great. read more

We've been coming to Emburs for years. Very nice restaurant but not for parties larger than 6 if you want to get seated on a weekend. Nice bar area has seating for dinner as well. Bar is solely for sitting, no room to stand. The restaurant can get quite loud due to the way it's built if it's busy, so don't plan to come if you want an intimate experience. Service is always top notch and the servers help each other, which every restaurant should do. This night I ordered the arroz-chaufa with calamari and shrimp with Peruvian vegetables. This dish hits it on all fronts, full of wonderful flavors imparted by the seafood and the combo of the Peruvian veggies. They are perfect and I usually get another side; bean sprouts, peppers and onions and Napa cabbage. The rice is also well cooked and a good quality. The dish came out hot as usual. The black beans are better than you would get at a Mexican restaurant. A nice add on. They have special oils on request. We tried the herb and garlic one, delicious. Brandon out server recommended if you don't want a spicy kick, which the other oil has. Great place and we'll be back for sure! read more

Amazing, fresh food. Wonderful and knowledgable staff. Great wine menu. Loved it and will be back.

Update: the daughter finally called me (after I left repeated messages) 2 months later and said we are not going to take care of this issue since so much time has passed (yes, I have been trying to get in touch and clearly you have been avoiding returning my phone calls). The way this was handled was so disappointing. At the very least, they could've given me a gift card for the dbl charged amount. At any rate, my husband and I can't bring ourselves to patronize them again. Over the past year, there have been 6 or 7 times when a family member or friend suggested Embur, and we explain our issue and that we no longer eat there. This is the only restaurant I've ever had such poor customer service and there are plenty of other restaurants in Greensboro that at least pretend to care about their customers and would do the right thing in a situation like this. read more
