Excellent Mediterranean food !! I had the Greek salad with chicken and lamb - and hummus - everything was amazing!!

Agora has grown! It's nearly doubled in size and is packed full of neighbors enjoying fabulous food and excellent- knowledgeable service. It's still quaint small charming gem. The bar area is super nice and free of tv. So, people are talking, eating, enjoying company. It's wonderful environment. Spirits are fantastic! Nice specialty list of cocktails made right in front of you. Passion fruit / chili/ tequila concoction was perfectly balanced and yummy. Old fashion made perfectly. Calamari is really really really good. But if you are sharing ask for extra sauce. It's hard to share. We had kabobs... lamb and a chicken. They were full meals with little side salad, rice, & pita. I still think the lamb serving size was much larger but either way- you are going to be satisfied. Dessert... if only we would've not scarfed down two courses- maybe I could tell you about dessert. Lol. There's always a goal for next visit. So, tell DoorDash - not tonight... and go visit Agora. Enjoy actually participating in real experience. Enjoy! * in addition, they do have an upstairs dining room if you aren't comfortable eating at the bar or need more family environment. read more

Delicious hummus, Greek salad and falafel. The falafel was crispy on the outside, not dry on the inside, very flavorful. Service was speedy at lunch time and reasonably priced. Enjoy. read more

This restaurant had a great vibe, the service was outstanding and the dinner was wonderful. I will definitely visit this place again.

The food was ok, nothing spectacular. But the air conditioning wasn't working, and it was extremely hot in the building. I'm not sure I would ever come go back read more

Great food ! Poor Service. Had to wait to order more food and couldn't find staff. Got served check while eating (restaurant was empty and hour to go before closing). Asked again if I am done !! Didn't feel welcomed by staff. read more

Very good food with exceptionally wonderful service. They were so attentive and helpful in explaining their offerings. The ambience is very comforting and warm. read more

A Taste of Turkey in the Heart of the City! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Agora Midtown, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that transported me straight to the streets of Istanbul. Let's start with the food - oh my, what a treat! Cafe Agora Midtown offers an extensive menu of authentic Turkish dishes for both breakfast and dinner. Whether you're a fan of savory or sweet, there's something to satisfy every palate. The breakfast options are a true standout, with a wide variety of delicious pastries, cheeses, olives, and traditional Turkish breakfast spreads. I highly recommend trying the Menemen - a mouthwatering dish made with scrambled eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and spices. It's a breakfast experience like no other! For dinner, the menu continues to impress. The kebabs are a must-try, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. The lamb kebab was particularly tender and flavorful, while the chicken kebab was juicy and succulent. The vegetarian options are equally delightful, with dishes like the Imam Bayildi, a stuffed eggplant that is rich in flavor and melts in your mouth. And of course, no Turkish meal is complete without a cup of strong Turkish coffee or a sip of fragrant Turkish tea - both of which Cafe Agora Midtown serves to perfection. The service at Cafe Agora Midtown is top-notch. The staff is attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations and answer any questions you may have. They truly make you feel like a valued guest, going above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional. The ambiance of the restaurant is another highlight. The decor is tastefully done, with a mix of traditional Turkish elements and modern touches. The soft lighting and comfortable seating create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or a romantic dinner for two. Overall, Cafe Agora Midtown is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. The food is outstanding, the service is impeccable, and the ambiance is delightful. Whether you're a fan of Turkish cuisine or looking to try something new, this place is an absolute must-visit. I guarantee you'll leave with a satisfied palate and a desire to come back for more. Five stars all the way! read more

Sooo...my first time having food from Cafe Agora Midtown. I was excited...... My thrill was quickly diminished by the time I placed my first fork of salad in my mouth and then Iooked into my container and there was an unsuspecting guest. Obviously I spit out what was in my mouth. I'm now worried if anything extra ....pests that is.. was in the gyro. Now I have to give a bad and take unnecessary steps to get this resolved. read more

Pretty good Mediterranean spot in midtown. Interior says "take out spot" to me, but there are a few seats. We had the mixed meze platter and of note were the yogurt haydari (which was brand new to me) and the carrot salad! We also had a falafel platter which came with a deliciously dressed Greek salad but we were saddened by the salad portion. Huge heaping portion of hummus. Pita was fluffy and delicious. Falafel was crisp and well seasoned. Definitely a solid spot! read more

Went for a drink and tried two appetizers at the cozy bar downstairs. Everything was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed the atmosphere. I definitely would come back and try more from their amazing menu. Also would love to have brunch here sometime ! read more

The atmosphere here is top notch. The restaurant extends across two floors, downstairs being the bar from which they have happy hour F-S 30% off apps. Upstairs you'll find the formal dining room and kitchen. We were greeted so warmly and started our meal with a complimentary lentil based kofta lettuce wrap. It was surprisingly delicious and had lots of flavor. This tickled our palettes for the rest of the meal. I ordered the mix grill plate and my bf had the lamb gyro. The mixed grill plate is really the go-to pick as it has a lamb chop, kofta, beef and chicken kabobs. The pita tasted so fresh as did the yogurt sauce which was great for dipping the meats into. Everything was tender, juicy and had that nice grill flavor to it. Even the chicken which can be dried out by the grill sometimes. I also really enjoyed the charred octopus on top of some kind of lentil/bean puree. It was seasoned so well and had some trout roe on top of it that added a phenomenal burst of flavor. read more

We had an incredible experience at Agora for a date night with my wife last month. The food, service, and ambience were all excellent. Memorable dishes a month later were: Moussaka and Baklava. Our server, Ainoa, was exceptional. She read the mood of our date perfectly, engaging with us when table side but also giving us space to "just see each other in the room." Table was lovely Upstairs in modern bistro loft area at a two-top at balcony edge. Agora truly helped us transition from a downturn to an upturn in our "normal marriage" of ups & downs. Highly recommend for a memorable "matured relationship" date night that makes you feel just enough of the spark that brought you together years ago. read more

Went to check it out last week and it was so amazing we went back days later. Food, service, atmosphere - all AMAZING! Highly recommend!

I came because close to my hotel and high marks from fellow patrons. I was not disappointed! GREAT service, attentive staff, FOOD-delicious! I did the appetizer sampler and all of it I'd order again! Good happy hour really makes this a no brainer! Stepped inside to see hostess it was cool clean and inviting. I chose outdoors and it was lovely! read more

Agora Midtown - Wow! This place is great! Food is authentic and delicious. The staff very accommodating and attentive- highly recommend! - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I rlly love the spreads platter and meat here. Really good variety of options. Been here many times

Great food! We got the lamb and chicken dishes, and while they were good, I found them a bit on the drier side than what I would have liked. I really enjoyed the vegetarian appetizers-- those were super tasty and I loved eating them. read more

This is one of the few high quality and affordable spots in Midtown, and a great spot for either eating outside and enjoying the sunshine or grabbing takeout to gorge on at home. I came for lunch on a beautiful day and both me and my lunch buddy had our food in about ten minutes. We sat outside and he enjoyed his falafel wrap and I my adana kebab plate. The wraps are probably the perfect amount for a lunch, and convenient, too! He really liked the falafel here. The plates are HEFTY and despite me being hungry and coming off of a bike ride I still couldn't finish my entire dish--there is so much meat and SO much rice. The salad was a bit underdressed but that is a minor issue. The kebab was well seasoned and juicy. I also like that they are situated on a side street in midtown so it's a bit quieter and you can really enjoy your meal if you sit just outside. read more

They recently redecorated the midtown location after almost a year of being closed. Additionally they also rebranded with a nice menu and a lovely interior. With that being said, I expected the prices to go up, but not by this much. They need to be revised to a $$$ restaurant. Regardless of how good the food is, I think it lost the cozy feel and the appeal that it used to have. The portion sizes have decreased in size and the menu options have been decimated. Gone are the days where you can swing by for a small plate and escape under $15. This restaurant will struggle to keep up with establishments like Olive Bistro and Rumi's Kitchen a few blocks away. read more

Food and Services were great! The experience was pleasant and everyone was friendly. I needed a few recommendations from the menu and everything turned out wonderful. I plan to go back next time I'm in ATL. read more

Good food. Excellent service. Nice atmosphere. Everyone was satisfied with their orders and it was enough for next day lunch.

We used to get take out gyros nearly every single Friday from Cafe Agora. It closed for renovations and we waited and waited for it to re-open. It finally did!The interior is beautiful and they have changed their concept some from the local order at the counter, quick service menu. We wanted to eat outdoors and we were offered the to-go menu. No big deal. BUT no gyro for dinner?? Only available at lunch. Sad. Maybe in time they will bring it back their amazing sandwich at dinner for all the loyal Midtowners who are at Agora for years. read more

it is the worst place that I have every seen wait too much for food and then found a fly and hair that. when I told they offer me to not pay for food but I still paid. if you care your health this is not place to eat read more

My new favorite place in the neighborhood -- the food is excellent and I love how they remodeled the place! Don't miss the Greek Omelette for brunch. Also, Jack is an excellent bartender! read more

This our 2nd time here in the past week. We through enjoyed our meal and the service the first time. The second time the taste of the food was even better. Very helpful and friendly staff. read more

Food is great!! Drinks are divine and customer service is impeccable. My now go-to Mediterranean restaurant. Hidden gem !

The food and service were top notch. Must visit for good authentic Mediterranean food with a chill/chic ambience.

Character can be hard to find in Midtown... that's not to say that a place needs character to be considered "nice" - Agora, however, is the answer to the age old question.... is it too much to ask for both? Nestled into an unassuming brick building, the slightly irregular layout and contemporary look and feel boast inviting personality, while still teasing diners by hiding the unexpectedly spacious main dining room on the second floor. The evening started off with Amuse-Bouche of sorts... what appeared to be a chickpea purée with chopped radish in a miniature lettuce wrap- simple yet elegant. As we awaited the main course, we washed our lettuce wraps down with Tamarind Breeze Cocktails, whose bright colors and ornamental garnishes do no justice to its playful combination of fruity and herbal flavors. We then enjoyed the dolmas as a mild and refreshing palate cleanser before the arrival of our vegetable kababs over a generous bed of aromatic herb rice. And let me tell you, dear reader, that to say the the term "aromatic" holds true would be an understatement - the robust and complex combinations of herbs, spices, and rice functioned as a glowing complement to the veggie kababs, which were tender and flavorful, and served in a quantity easily shared by two people. So there we were, thinking that we had experienced all that Agora and its friendly staff had to offer. As we sat admiring the artisanal decorations that peppered the exposed brick walls, we were surprised by two chocolate covered strawberries presented with the bill as a complimentary token of the Valentine's Day season. This scale only allows for 5/5, but I'll give Agora a 12/10 (I prefer smaller units of rating) - thanks for the memories Agora... looking forward to making more in due time :) read more

Service is great.... Food is outstanding.... But for the love of God bring back Bob Ross!!!

Located near Midtown MARTA station, this little Turkish/Mediterranean place will really surprise you! The place, from outside looks like a small restaurant. Even when you enter, it feels like a very small place with a few tables down stairs and a big seating area upstairs. You order at the counter with the menu displayed behind it, with pictures representing what you would expect. But my god the food is amazing! I always get the chicken shish kabab entree- char grilled, succulent marinated chicken pieces served on rice with balsamic glazed lettuce/cucumber salad, 4 pcs pita and tziziki sauce ($13.5). We also tried the spanakopita which is essentially like a lasagna ($6). Service was quick, and they bring the food to your table. Would recommend again for a quick bite to eat! read more

I've been a faithful customer of Agora for 4 years now and while the recent renovations and price gouge are a result of much deserved growth, most of the loyalty from longtime customers may be lost due to the restaurant feeling more like a cash grab by the new owners. I can see most of the new clientele being those that want to check it out one time to give it a try, but may not return again. Also lost a lot of fan favorites from the menu - gyros and falafel platters are no more. :( The food has lost it's love, but I appreciate how pretty the decor is now. After 4 years I probably won't be returning even though they had the best dolmas I ever tasted. A sad loss for what used to be a restaurant that made you feel like family. read more

Is it wrong to actually *love* a restaurant? Because I love Cafe Agora so much I kinda want to buy it a ring and move in. Cafe Agora is hands-down serving up some of the best Mediterranean food in Atlanta -- so much so, it's quickly become my favorite place to order delivery from. Every single thing I've ever ordered from there was made with care, love and attention and portion sizes are generous. Favorites include the carrot salad (I know, but trust me on this), homemade dolmas and baba ganoush that's perfectly creamy and heavily jacked with garlic. If you're planning on having a date after eating here, they'd better like garlic. In fact, that's a good standard to live by -- if they don't like garlic, they're not worth dating. As if this wasn't enough, they're also really lovely people. I remember once I put in the notes how much I loved their carrot salad and they sent along a little extra portion, just for me. I'm not lucky enough to have a Mediterranean mom, but if I was... I'm pretty sure her food would taste like Cafe Agora's. read more

Cafe Agora is a solid option for Turkish/Mediterranean fare at a good value. We recently ordered takeout from this humble Midtown storefront, and were not disappointed. While she went with this simple Greek salad and a side of hummus with pita, I ordered the mezze plate, a selection of heaping portions of various dips, spreads, and salads that made for a nice dinner and lunch the next day. Whereas I usually lean more Middle Eastern, I was delighted to try some of the Turkish dishes that were new to me, like the piyaz red bean bean salad and the ezme tomato relish. Of particular note was the haydari, a yogurt seasoned with garlic, dill and walnuts- creamy yet bright, it really livened up the plate. Cafe Agora is a great spot, and on my list for Mediterranean takeout when I am looking for something beyond just hummus and pita. read more

Food was tasty, but service was kind of off and my take out order was slightly messed up. Due to construction on the street there is really no seating for this spot, so we got takeout. I have family that lives across the street from this place and she was craving Mediterranean so we tried this spot. I ordered the mezze plate - I wanted the small but was charged for the large and was not given pita even when I asked if pita was included (cuz I was gonna order some just in case it wasn't). I was told that 2 pita was included for the mezze plate but they totally forgot when I opened my takeout package at home. My sister ordered the gyro plate and was given one pita. The mezze platter was tasty, I will give them that but not having a pita to dip in is kind of not fun. The food came out super fast, but maybe so fast that they messed up the order? How do you forget to give pita at a Mediterranean place, especially if it's a mezze plate? My sister did enjoy her gyro platter. Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I wouldn't race to get food from here. It was tasty but kind of overpriced for the crappy service. read more

You will absolutely not walk out hungry. The midtown location is my FIRST choice when I want Mediterranean. All of the gyros are filled generously, you can't go wrong w any of the meat options - not exaggerating, all that matters is how heavy of a meal you want. Please please try the DOLMAS they are bursting with flavor. And they give a hefty serving of tzatziki alongside the dolmades and on top of the gyros. My one personal advice is ask for light lettuce on the gyros; it's crunchy and refreshing but I find too much can be messy and some bites too lettucy, ha. They have a $10.99 lunch special including: a gyro, Greek fries (to die for) and a drink. From 11-1 pm. Top off with the RICE PUDDING. Wow, it's the creamiest and most comforting way to finish a big meal like that. read more

The stairs are out of the question now so I have to settle for takeout. I used Uber Eats, delivery was on time and everything was warm and fresh. The pita was so hot but wrapped in foil that I wasn't sure what it was. I had the Mixed Grill with Rice and a small Greek salad and the Maza Platter. My favorite thing over other Mediterranean restaurants in ATL the salad with your meal. Always fresh. It's a shame they don't have a downstairs dining area. read more

This place is all about the owner! He is a charmer. Friendly and caring, everyone is his brother or friend! People are clearly drawn to him. Who wouldn't be? He makes you feel like you belong! The food is excellent. The quality is great and the quantity is generous. We shared a plate and were so glad we did! The Baba Ganoush is lovely, the pita is fresh and the chicken had an excellent sauce that gave it a pizzaz. Cafe Agora does a hopping business. There's not much space inside but there are tables outside. I saw a lot of take away orders. Looking for a relaxed atmosphere where you get great food at a reasonable price, where you feel like you're a long lost friend and where you will leave full and satisfied? Find your way to Cafe Agora! read more

Good food but we go for the bar Happy Hour 4:30-6:30PM at the Peachtree location near 10th street.

Found this little gem on here and was impressed by the ratings. Now I know why. *First, if you won't read the entire review, note that they do have parking in the lot across the street for free. No need to feed the meters!* I am usually not a fan of gyros but this place made me a believer. I got the gyros platter (comes with lamb and chicken), an order of falafel. And my friend got the gyros wrap. Oh man, was it delicious and ALOT of food. The lamb and chicken were super well seasoned and were packed with flavors. Served on a bed of rice with a salad and pita bread...delicious. The meat was tender and a pleasure to eat. I also got a side order of falafel and those were delicious as well. Nice and crispy, the flavors packed inside of those little balls will satisfy anyone. The owner seems to have a certain rapport with his customers and received us well. I was a bit taken aback by how small the place seemed for a "dining in", but worry not, they have an upstairs dining room. Def will comeback soon and try more things! read more
