Cafe Agora

"Was a bit disappointed if I’m honest. Waited about 10 minutes to have order taken (there were only about 3 tables with people — not busy at all). Restaurant vibe was a bit weird, looked tired and run down, so I ordered a gyro plate and mezze platter to go. Chicken was flavourful, but the rice tasted like microwave bagged rice, also the pita was little more than store bought bread. The Coconut Cake was probably the best thing about the meal."

"Whenever I am near Buckhead, there’s only one restaurant I think about going: Cafe Agora. I trust the authenticity of the food from here. And always looking forward to the rice puddling they give at the end. I post a lot of Asian food and rarely Mediterranean, so I look forward to learn & share more in the future. Dolma has a pleasant fresh tarte taste, it’s soft and filling (since it’s stuffed with rice). First time having grape leaves and everything works together very well. I recommend at least trying this at least once. Hummus ain’t strong in flavor like the ones you get at the store (which can be overly salted). The flavor hits in the after taste. Light in color so you know it’s fresh. Sigara Boregi Beef - imagine crispy spring rolls that’s savory and packed with beef whenever you take a bite, then you will like this. Wish this came in fours so we don’t have to split the last one. Chicken Shish Kebab is a classic dish. I’m a lamb lover but chicken was tasty too. I always enjoy the fresh greens they serve with it. Lamb Shank (dinner menu) - I crave this dish but I can’t get it alone. The lamb is soft & perfectly cooked off the bone. The tomato sauce is delicious but the tartness can be overwhelming. The only veggies are roasted tomato and green bell pepper. This is why I need the salad from my partner’s plate. It makes the dish balanced. Doner Kebab Plate - not my dish but the fries were fantastic. Pistachio Baklava - The first time I was served Baklava, it was the size of a brick. When I saw their portion, I was disappointed by the contrast. But learning how sweet this dessert was, it’s meant to be a one-biter. This pastry is very sweet & sticky but I enjoy the crispiness on the top. Sutlac (Turkish Rice Pudding) - They serve a small cup of this when you checkout which is the perfect ending to any meal. I always debate if I should get one togo. Follow me on socials for more foodie finds @yvon_ow"

"Atmosphere, sitting space ( both indoor and outdoor), fast and quick service are few things which I liked about this Turkish restaurant. Food was okay in taste not wow, detailed review below- Cheese Rolls- Tasted good, portion was very less, only 3 pieces with a dip. Falafel Wrap- I felt falafels can be more tasty, I have eaten it multiple times at other restaurants. Portion size decent. Chicken Wrap- not very tasty just okay. Desert - Pistachio Baklava was good in taste, recommend to try it. Main concern- Female washroom was not clean at all :("

"My husband and I went there as a dinner date for our mini honeymoon. It was recommended to us from some friends. This is hands down some of the best Greek Food I have ever had. We got the falafel as the appetizer, it came fresh and was so full of flavor, you could taste the different spices. I got the Turkish moussaka and Greek salad, it was delightful! All the flavors complimented each other, it had a hint of spice but not too bad. We got hummus to go, and it tasted absolutely devine! 10/10 Food experience The atmosphere was great! It was very family friendly, casual sitting but still private. It definitely has a come as you are vibe which is amazing."

"This Turkish restaurant surpassed expectations with its spotless cleanliness, creating a pleasant dining environment. The staff's friendliness added a warm touch to the experience, and their exceptional service truly stood out. Combined with the delicious food that tantalized my taste buds, this restaurant offers an outstanding culinary and hospitality experience that I wholeheartedly recommend."
