The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable, particularly in light of the fact that sourcing some of these things can be challenging. This is not a place where you'll ever be able to to do your weekly shopping, but if you need some core Ethiopian staples (and/or surrounding/nearby countries), this is a good place to go.

With its goal to provide those away from home with a familiar taste, this grocery has spent the last 15 years bringing African and Mediterranean flavors to kitchens across the Piedmont.

This store specializes in Indian and south east asian grocery goods…read more There are so many wonderful products available that are twice the price in most grocery chains. I'll purchase many of the spices I need for day-to-day cooking here. Most recently I got a huge bag of peppercorns for about $10 and ended up with the equivalent of $50 of fresh ground pepper after grinding and storing them. Also, they have bulk quantities of rice, beans, chickpeas, and other dry staple goods. I haven't found anywhere else that gets close to the value they have on a 10lb bag of red lentils. Also, they have fantastic frozen meals and lots to choose from in the freezer section. The store is daunting to navigate for someone unfamilar with the cuisine. However, it's well worth your while to do your homework in advance and come in with a list. The staff is friendly and will help you locate what you need. They have some tasty to-go food in the front of the store. Typically, they have samosa and various savory puff pastries. I always buy a couple of these tasty treats when I'm checking out so I can have a car snack! Overall, I'd absolutely recommend popping in, even if it is your first time in a specialized grocery store. You won't be disappointed!

Embur

I dined alone a little after 4 PM and was seated right away before the dinner rush, although there…read morewere already about 12 to 15 people inside. By the time I left around 6, there were people standing and waiting to be seated. The patio was open with one couple enjoying the nice weather and relative quiet of outdoors. Embur recently relocated to Smyres Place in Greensboro and the new space feels much smaller than I expected. The design reminded me of what I imagine a modern restaurant in Peru might look like. Industrial with solid wood floors, warm finishes, and a large wine display. There are around 25 to 26 tables, mostly two tops and four tops. The largest table seats six, but they will push tables together for larger groups. While I was there, a group of more than 20 came in celebrating something and they were seated quickly without disrupting the rest of the room. The small patio has outdoor seating with about 8 tables and a they have bar area with about nine comfortable seats. The menu took me a minute to understand but I ended up liking the setup. You choose your entrée, which comes with set ingredients, and then choose your protein. Each protein has a different price, so you can control the cost of your meal somewhat. Most menu items can also be made gluten free according to the menu, and vegetarian options seem easy to do. For my appetizer, I ordered the flatbread. Perfection. Rosemary, olive oil, sea salt. Crispy outside, soft inside, and so flavorful I almost ate the whole thing before my meal was served. The server came with water right away and remain attentive but not intrusive the whole time. For my entree, I ordered the Arroz Chaufa with salmon. Arroz Chaufa literally means fried rice. At first the dish seemed a bit salty to me, but once I added the green sauce that comes with it (served on the side), everything balanced out. The green sauce has very mild heat, so if you are not a fan of spicy food, that is the one I would recommend. There is a list of sauces so I assume you can customize your entree. According to my server, the other sauces bring more heat. The salmon was excellent, well seasoned but not too much, and moist. The portion was ample. I was very hungry but I had leftovers to bring home. Service was exactly what I want when dining alone. Attentive without being intrusive. I watched Netflix while I ate and enjoyed my meal without feeling rushed or bothered. The noise level is average for a busy small restaurant. Comfortable enough to relax, but if you want to talk to someone in your group a couple of seats away, you will need your outside voice. This place feels upscale without being fussy, so expected to pay more than average, but I thought it was good value for the quality and portions. I loved this restaurant and will absolutely go back. Must order: Rosemary flatbread appetizer. Tip: Ask about sauce heat before ordering. If you do not like spicy food, start with the green sauce.

The tuna was fresh, flavorful, and overall the dish tasted great. My only critique is that there was hardly any quinoa. When I hear "quinoa bowl," I picture something more like a rice bowl where quinoa is the main base -- but this felt more like a salad with a small scoop of quinoa. Still good, just a little misleading name-wise. Drinks were solid, staff was nice and friendly, and service was smooth. Total came to $57.94, which felt a little pricey for what we ordered, but not outrageous for the area and waterfront location. Also worth noting: they are not pet-friendly inside, so keep that in mind if you're out with your pup. Overall -- great food and good drinks, just slightly pricey and the bowl name set different expectations.

Just inside, the pastry case is centrally displayed under the main counter, stock full of an array of traditional French pastries, so long as you arrive before they are sold out. To the left, is an open view of the kitchen, where you can watch the bread shaping and baking take place. I ordered an americano, alongside the sausage roll, the chocolate almond croissant, and the oranais, a traditional apricot filled pastry. Each croissant was flaky, buttery, and flavorful, washed down by the americano, leaving nothing to be desired. To top it off, the pastries were enjoyed on a beautiful, sunny day among the patio seating within the alleyway. Breakfast in Paris is a must try if you are in search of tasty French pastry within close reach!
