    Kofte Plate
    Sarah B.

    This tiny little spot in downtown Fayetteville is such a gem. It was just us for a very early dinner. We got our food really fast and the service was perfect to where we felt checked on, but not too over our heads the food was hot and fresh and tasted good the next day as we had leftovers, we had a hummus plate, but we ate it all before I could take a photo. I do wish the prices were a little bit less however we did go at dinner time and that is pretty typical for the area. The food is pretty authentic and I had no complaints.

    On our road trip to Charleston, SC, we stopped in Fayetteville for lunch and found this restaurant. We had great gyros (me with rice and my wife with pita). The service was great, and the place was very nice. It was a great find on the trip. If we ever swing through Fayetteville again, we will stop by again.

    Gyro upclose
    Chandra J.

    Was sooo excited to try Agora as they had great reviews. Decided to stop in last week for a gyro and a salad to go while it was raining. The staff was super nice and welcoming. I waited just a few minutes for my food and it came out fresh. However, I was not super impressed by the taste, quantity, or quality. I really was expecting more, but did not get it this time at Agora. The food was just okay, with a lack of seasoning, spice, and just something special. The two saving graces was the fresh gyro meat and customer service. The meat was super fresh and partnered so well with the veggies and salad. However, everything else just missed it for me. The customer service was on point as I was warmly greeted and welcomed from when I entered the restaurant and when I excited. I am kind of unsure if I would come back just based on the foot quality. Maybe I would try them again with another dish to hope that it would be better?!?

    Gyro plate with the Greek salad

    Located on the main strip of historic Fayetteville with on street parking right in front of the restaurant that is free on saturday & sunday. This location has indoor & outdoor seating available. Upon entering there is a nice bar set up with a view of part of the kitchen so you can clearly see them shaving the delicious lamb (my favorite!). The beer menu has some great choices but dont expect there to be any "craft" selections. I got a German pilsner & a russian baltika to drink and for food had the gyro with lamb & beef/side greek salad. I always wonder at these places how much actual lamb is being served, but overall I have no complaints about my serving portion, taste and service which were all superb. Be sure to go for a walk after eating to admire the history that this town has to offer!

    Pita with hummus appetizer and small mixed green Greek salad.
    Crystal W.

    Cons: Mixed green salad was served with iceburg lettuce, not mixed greens. Pita was burnt. Service was pretty slow. Table next to us was ordering wine and the server was not knowledgeable and couldn't explain the different reds to them. Pros: salad and hummus came with tons of kalamata olives. Staff were very friendly. Hummus was delicious.

    Gyro plate

    Loved this place great people THE RICE and gyro were delicious. Pricey for lunch but it came with a ton of food and enough for tomorrow's lunch.

    We went here on Halloween. It wasn't busy because everyone was busy with the downtown trick or treat event. Which was good for us. We were seated right away. The chef was our waiter and our cook. We got drinks right away. Just FYI their drinks are not from a drink fountain they serve cans with a cup of ice. They also serve alcohol if your looking for some wine or beer. We also started with an appetizer. They didn't have the baba ganoush the eggplant dish. They were out of it, that was disappointing. We got the dolma instead - grape leaves. This was by far the best grape leaves I've had. I attribute that to them not being as bitter. It was nice that it was topped off with sour cream. My husband got the Alexander which was basically gyro meat on top of chopped up pita topped with a spicy sauce. He loved it! I got the chicken skewers. You can choose from either rice or salad. I got rice but I wish it came with a small side salad too. Their rice tasted like butter rice - it was great! The chicken was cooked perfectly! Moist and not dry... and nicely browned on the outside. And I had warm pita bread with it. I would recommend this restaurant! We will definitely be back again!

    Gyro with fries

    A delightful experience The hours cater to every walk of life. And the men behind the counter are prior service. To say this restaurant fills every billet would be an understatement. The food, words cannot describe. A painters pallet of flavors and ingredients. Sweet, salty, creamy and overall delicious. The ambiance is something old school. Wooden benches, hard wood ceilings, and paintings on the walls. As someone from Pittsburgh, it almost reminds me of home. To skip this restaurant is to skip out on something beautiful. I will be coming back

    The Agroa House Mixed Grill. Feeds 2 people $24.99.  Fresh, lots of food and flavor. We we're pretty full.

    Do they serve an octopus dish?

    Not that I saw on the menu. They have a rather small menu and typical meat selection as you'd find in many middle eastern restaurants.

The kind of place that doesn't just feed you... it reminds you why food matters. I walked in skeptical. Daily special? Braised lamb? That's usually where things go sideways. Not here. The feta with warm pita was simple and spot on. The mozzarella and tomato salad--fresh, clean, done right. And that lamb... slow, tender, full of flavor in a way that tells you someone in the kitchen actually cares. I've sat at a lot of tables across the world, and this felt like being in someone's home--real food, made with pride. Add in genuinely friendly people and an easy, welcoming vibe, and you've got something special. This is food that nurtures everything that makes you..you. True soul food. You owe it to yourself go eat here.

    We love Mediterranean food so when we saw the ratings and how busy the parking lot was, we had to…read moregive Olea a try. It was super busy on a Sunday & all the tables were filled. You order at the counter & they bring your food to you. Chicken schwarma sandwich was just ok since we've had better versions of it. My appetizer sampler, which was my entree, was pathetically small & frankly embarrassing to call it an appetizer sampler. Appetizer samplers are usually a lot bigger so it could be shared by everyone at the table. Taste was fine but there were only 3 small pieces of cauliflower & 3 squid rings, 1 kibbah & a small scoop of baba ghannoush. I'm a small eater & even my family was afraid that I wouldn't have enough food.
