"Hang out with us overlooking the water in Leeds city centre whether you fancy a drink, a snack, a comforting plate of something, or full set menu with paired wines.
"The food we choose to cook is the food we love to eat. Lots of big flavours, plenty of fat, fire and comforting familiarity."
But, the team need our help to make emba a reality and have launched a Crowdfunder.
The Crowdfunder reads: "I’m choosing to cook the food I love to eat: bold flavours, plenty of fat and fire, and that comforting sense of familiarity.
"My team and I have built a reputation for unpretentious, attentive, and genuinely warm service—and that same high standard is coming with me to emba.
"When you back emba, you’re not just giving us a hand—you’re becoming part of the story. That’s why we’ve created a set of genuinely brilliant rewards to say thank you.
"Whether you fancy a long lunch, want your name on the art wall, or exclusive VIP dinners and behind-the-scenes access, there’s something for everyone."
You can donate as much or as little as you fancy, and you'll receive prizes when you do so such as a lunch for two if you give £75 or a tote bag for £25.

An award-winning burger chain is expanding and opening in Leeds city centre.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties, funky branding, and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.

The chain opened their first Leeds site in Meanwood just last month, and now they'll be opening a takeaway in the city centre on the bustling Boar Lane.
Just moments away from Call Lane, you just know there'll be plenty of punters popping in after a couple beers and we don't blame them, as we'll be doing the exact same.
Highlights on the menu will, as always, include the fan-favourite Cheesed (two smashed patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion and the brand’s signature sauce, served in a seeded brioche bun), as well as a range of chicken burgers, fries, and wings.
Everything is made fresh to order, and even their sauces and dips are made entirely in-house.
We don't know the exact opening date just yet, but we do know that it's taking over the old Gyros Greek Food spot.
We will of course keep you updated as and when we find out more.
Coincidentally, it will be opening right across from another new burger restaurants named Urban Fresh Burgers. Did someone say...battle of the burgers?
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is coming to Leeds
Clementine Hall
Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.
Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.
We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.
And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.
We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.
The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.
The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.
Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.
"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"
Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.
Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.
We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.
