The above photo features the scene in the front window of the restaurant, Embur Fire Fusion, located 107 Smyres Place. The food is cooked Peruvian style with a brick oven for making Italian style pizza. Their specialty is chaufa, a Peruvian chicken dish with vegetables and rice. The green and yellow sauces they serve with their food are tasty and unique for the Greensboro area. The purple wall above defines the bar area at the center of the room.
Smyres Place is located just off Friendly Avenue, between where Southern Lights and Hams were located years ago. This is the time of year where friends meet up for the holidays. Arriving at Embur and seeing that wall of purple light somehow balances the darkness of Greensboro winter. The taste of warm, arroz chaufa with chicken or steak goes well with a "chicha morada" a Peruvian purple corn beverage.
With First Friday tonight downtown Greensboro, the holiday parade tomorrow, and so many other events on this December weekend, we hope you get downtown and also have a chance to try out a new place or two... Embur, perhaps.
It looks inviting.
