Embo Delicatessen in Edinburgh

Absolutely amazing food. We stayed at Archerfield and he catered for us perfectly for New Year’s Eve! We had lovely little canapés and he even delivered it to us ! 100% I would recommend using this deli and we will defo use him again.

Fantastic variety of breakfast and lunch items, one of the few places in the area that does a healthy salad lunch takeaway that's got something special about it.

Stellar falafel wrap to take away, quick service, friendly staff, nice décor. Will be back in at some point.

I went to Embo today to grab a quick coffee to go. While waiting for it to be prepared, there was an employee (not the one preparing my coffee) who was mask-less and seemed to have quite a grim-sounding cough. A one-off cough I understand. Sometimes you gotta clear out the morning yuckies. But this cough was deep and persistent, audible even from the busy street of Leith Walk. This employee (still mask-less) was touching their face lots and handling food without washing their hands. Normally, I'm not too fussed about these things, however, times as they are, I was feeling rather anxious as I took my coffee (especially because I will be seeing vulnerable people rather soon). As I walked away I decided the best course of action was to call the establishment. I notified them of how unprofessional this was given the current context, how it is perceived by the public, and that I didn't feel comfortable consuming their product. The employee on the other end, however, seemed rather unconcerned by the points I was raising, listlessly repeating "ok" over and over. After no engagement or apology by the employee, I was forced to ask them how they plan to address the situation going forward. The response was a rather insincere "we'll look into it" and then a swift ending of the conversation. I was quite unimpressed by this severe lack of professionalism. It is a shame because I was quite looking forward to visiting this cute café but, unfortunately, I will not be returning to this establishment for the remainder of the pandemic.

Went in to Embo today, for a take away coffee. Always such a pleasure with lovely staff. Pleased to see such extra care with covid measures, but also of course a lovely coffee. Highly recommended and have been a delighted customer for a long while now. Food is awesome and the laughs are even better. Thanks so much Embo!

My go-to cafe on Leith Walk for a break from the daily grind. Great coffee roast, wide choice of cafe staples/fresh salads, and friendly service. During lock-down(s) I order and wait outside on the steps which affords plenty of room for social distancing.

Mike was incredibly helpful and always met our demands with good humour and a brilliant attitude of ‘can do’!Mike delivered on time every time and his food was consistently excellent. He will serve your Production or event with care and attention, he made us feel like we were his only costumer! He’ll make your life easier than you thought it could be.The food is delicious, using great ingredients Mike offers a ton of range.

We ordered some lovely catering for a family party. The Moroccan chicken and beef bourguignon were amazing, along with green beans and quinoa tabbouleh. The catering options were great and portions generous. Mike and Katka were so friendly and flexible with our order. Definitely recommended.

Very small cafe, two people are serving behind the bar, cosy and nice clean place, affordable prices with small menu, good location near city centre, service was very good from my perspective, they providing news papers so if you want quick coffee at the morning it is perfect place to go

Lovely little cafe with amazing wraps and friendly staff
