My coworker recently told me about this place. I usually go to Viva Chicken or Inka for Peruvian food, but I thought I’d give Embur a try. Unfortunately, the food was just average. My chicken was cold, so the skin wasn’t crispy, and the plantains were greasy and mushy. I’d recommend serving the salad separately, because the dressing pooled in the bottom of the dish and made the steak fries soggy. I also wish they had causa, which is what I always order at Inka downtown, but did not see it on the menu. As for the atmosphere, it was super loud. Not sure if it’s because it’s a small space that was packed with people on the night we went, but it was difficult to have a conversation with my friend sitting directly across from me. Our waitress was nice enough, albeit not very attentive.

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!

Love the meal!! Delicious is understatement!! Only draw back is loud....
It was amazing for lunch today. I loved the Ceviche with the pretty red pepper garnish on top. The service was great, friendly and patient. When I ate the pretty red pepper on top, they were quick to respond and I added the flatbread to my meal, to tone down the heat. The flatbread was also amazing! You must try this restaurant and remember that the red pepper garnish on top, is not a pretty red bell pepper. Thanks for the great meal! I will back, but next time I will order the Ceviche and the flatbread together.

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.

This is a great place for excellent food, nice wait staff and fast service even when packed. The only real draw back is the noise level. I can usually handle a loud place but the noise level here made me cover my ears and want to run outside. In the future, If I eat here again I will bring ear plugs.

I have loved Embur for many years, however I went with a friend tonight and we split the entree special - a tuna and shrimp dish with tomatoes, snow peas and some fried zucchini on top, with a side (scoop) of rice. when our check came it was $54 for the entree!!! My mind was blown. We had no idea that the special was going to be such an outrageous price. I feel like the pricing should have been communicated as this is greensboro and I don't think I have ever seen a $54 entree on any menu? or a $54 special, and certainly wouldn't expect this at Embur. I don't plan to return.

I recently dined at Embur in Greensboro, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The waitstaff was a little slow, but to be fair, they were extremely busy, so it was understandable. However, the noise level was a significant downside. The restaurant gets incredibly loud, and I could barely hear my partner speaking in a normal voice. I highly recommend they invest in some acoustic panels or other sound-dampening solutions to make the dining experience more enjoyable. Despite this, I would still recommend Embur for the excellent food!
Great food but very noisy!
