You never expect too much from a strip mall restaurant, but wow, just wow! Great service, great food, and a fun environment that gives you a feeling of Turkish culture in America. Our server was polite, friendly, and never made us feel out of place. We ordered: Baked Hummus with Bread - amazing! We would have never put cheese on hummus, but after this, we definitely will! Adana Kebabs - sooo tasty, moist, and a great portion. Chicken Gyro Pide - again, wow! Firstly, it was enormous. I barely made a dent. Secondly, it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Just delicious! We also ordered cheese cigars to-go, so I'll edit after we try them. We were too stuffed to eat another bite! read more

So very delicious flavorful and great service. My first time in a Turkish restaurant. I was a bit intimidated at first but the 5 star reviews calmed my nerves. I came here cus zaky Zak's was closed til 3. I fell in love with Mediterranean food recently, although I always loved Greek and Italian. Middle Eastern food was mysterious and I was intimidated. My forked is Lebanese and Emirate ( Emirates) and she recently prepared a lunch for me that blew my mind and now I'm hooked! Searching all the Tampa spots for the best. This meal was very delicious and they had 3 of the dishes she made for me so I ordered two and tried something new. Service was kind, gentle and generous. They gave me a Turkish tea at the end which was a delight. Below is pics of what I ordered i remembered this time cus I wanted to send this place to my friend. Enjoy! read more

The food is really good- it comes out hot and the ingredients are fresh. Service is also always great and even on a busy day (like in Mother's Day when I went), they are attentive to tables/customers. It's truly a hidden gem on Fowler/in Tampa! read more

As a Turkish native, and with a husband who has experienced the food in Türkiye firsthand, we were thrilled to find a place in Tampa offering a traditional Turkish breakfast spread. Angora did not disappoint! We arrived around noon on a Sunday and were seated quickly. We ordered the Breakfast for 2 and, coming hungry after the gym, we added a Lahmacun just in case. The breakfast spread was incredible. The cheeses, tomatoes, and cucumbers were fresh and flavorful, and the baked breads were delicious. The breakfast also comes with a full pot of Turkish tea (enough to fill our glasses 6+ times!). For the egg dish, we chose the Menemen, and it was genuinely as good as what I make at home--which is saying a lot. We ended up taking more than half the Lahmacun home because the portions were so generous, but it was baked to perfection. The restaurant is very clean with an open-concept kitchen where you can see the chefs at work. We will definitely be back! read more

My friend and I decided on this restaurant because it had such great reviews and we wanted something new as we are about an hour away and was just in town shopping.. As we walked in, we could tell that this was an authentic restaurant because of the decorations, the atmosphere, and the staff. We were definitely impressed by the amount of guests who were there and we were confident in our choice as we sat down. We were directed to a table and then were asked to wait while they wiped it down, no biggie, I appreciated the heads up. We were approached and our drink orders were taken promptly. We were impressed by the selections on the menu and actually had a hard time deciding because so many things look good and we were starving. We finally decided on several things, which was way too much for the two of us. I've included pictures below of the lentil soup, the cheese straws, the chicken Alana, and the Turkish tortellini with cream sauce. I personally thought the lentil soup was the best thing I had. The cheese straws were the second best. The other food belonged to my friend which she said was good. We each took our food home and plan on eating the leftovers so it must've been good. A couple of downsides, one of which couldn't be helped on their part. The first was there was a leak because of heavy rain storm and they promptly move us to a table with profuse apologies and wouldn't even let us move our own stuff. So actually, I guess that's a good thing. The second downside is that we had to wait a long time to get our check and my friend actually had to get up to get boxes herself, and we never got a refill of water. Those are really the only things that kept us from giving it a five star, but I recommend that you give us a try if you like authentic Mediterranean food for sure go! I had read more

Food was sensational. Missing Mediterranean from home, we traveled to Tampa from the reviews and menu. Authentic as can be. Great Service from AJ. The inside is casual with TVs and open kitchen. There are booths and tables for your liking. This place does UNBELIEVABLE takeout. In a plaza you'd think it wasn't there. Once you find it, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

Celebrated my pre-birthday tonight at Angora with some family and close friends. It was a purely wonderful experience! The waiter was modest, precise, and friendly and the food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!! I am a huge Mediterranean food junkie and had never tried this place but had it on my bucket list of restaurants to visit in Tampa. I'm glad my husband chose this place because I was impressed from the minute I walked in. The pricing was great for the amount of quality food served. Super clean restaurant and a must try, if you're in my neck of the woods! You won't regret it! read more

The minute I walked in, I was greeted by the owner and sat in a nice booth. Several friends joined and we ate and talked for hours, trying lots of great stuff. The bread was the freshest to table I've had in years. We met a really nice group of people from Syria and they literally shared a piece of something from their table and stories from their home. The vibe is really nice, not stuffy, and reservations are a snap. read more

I made a last-minute decision to have dinner at Angora and it was worth it.. from the greeting to the meals being delivered the service was very intentional. For the location the area had pretty good ambience which I didn't expect. The menu is Mediterranean, however, leaning more towards Turkish food. I enjoyed the cigar cheese sticks and the grilled chicken was awesome. I would highly recommend this place and will be returning.. read more

Angora open not long ago. The restaurant is well furnished with nicer furniture. The kitchen is viewable from dining room. The menu is about 4 pages. For the drink I recommend the Turkish sprite. My friend said the taste is different. We got the kibbeh to start. This is a fried stuff meat in the dough. I think the coating is a bit hard. We also got grape leaves stuff with the rice and pine nut. I also think this item is just average. For main entrees. We got the mixed grill for two and the chef special mixed grill. Since we have 7 people in the group, I think the portion will be enough for all of us. These two items are similar except the chef special come with fresh dough bake in oven with the mixed grill protein in the cover dough. It look spectacular when it open up. The rice is taste better for it. I like meat that comes with it. They are delicious. read more

I truly hate to say this, but.... I was so disappointed in this food. The best thing that I had were the cheese roll ups. And all that is is wonton paper and cheese. I'd like to start this by saying I have had flavorful Mediterranean food before this did not hit the spot at all. The dishes lacked spice my Mediterranean ravioli came out late and lack flavor. The meat on the inside of the little pockets was good, but it just tasted like bland dough with little meatballs on the inside that I got after the person I was with had already finished half of their chicken, Gyro (because they forgot to cook mine). While I was waiting for my food to come, my waitress was at the counter eating away at her food lol. The pictures may look pretty, but yeah, it just wasn't great. The first picture in the description specifically said that it was supposed to be spicy. It quite literally had no spice. You just tasty acidity of the tomatoes the herbs and that's it not even any salt read more

My hubby told me about this place when we were wondering where to go for Dinner so We went along with our 12 yr old son and guest from overseas. The place is nice and clean and the server ( Anas) was so welcoming and extremely helpful. I wanted a sampler of hot appetizers, he made it happen, then we got the cold appetizer sampler. My husband ordered a pizza like appetizer and for the main meal we order the fest for 4 that had a bed of rice and all sit of meats on top all covered with the piping hot Turkish bread, Anas cut it out and the steam just came out with heavenly smells. We had kunafeh for dessert and Turkish coffee ( my picky 12-year-old son had French fries ). Go try this place, the food is to die for and the service is amazing. read more

I don't give 5 stars often, but this restaurant is insanely delicious. The open kitchen atmosphere is amazing. You can watch the chefs make your salads, chopping the vegetables to order right in front of you. The location is impeccably convenient, right by USF. Prices are in line with the quality and portion of food, which to me is a value. You can go hard and order huge platters or simply order a wrap or lunch portion. It's up to you. I recommend their mixed grill platters, hot tea, dip platters, and knafeh for the full experience. So delicious, I'm obsessed. read more

Great food. Great service. Going into detail is not needed, just eallt there. I would suggest the mixed grills for 2 (3 of us split one) and we got the cold appetizer and falafel. The hummus is amazing. read more

Angora Mediterranean Grill - Lagmajun - Mediterranean Near Me - Tampa, Florida

If you haven't decided where you are going to eat this weekend, then look no further, this place is a must must try! While I've had Turkish kabab, in all our travels, we've just never come across an authentic Turkish restaurant that doesn't try to just placate the American palate. The food here isn't just a game changer for the epicurean, it's life changing. We started with the Ezme (think olive tapenade and salsa had a baby but a spicey baby) accompanied by their "baloon bread", heavenly. I ordered chef's casserole w/lamb (I know that sounds seriously pedestrian but I'm sure it's just the translation so bear with me.), The lamb was succulent, bathed in tomato based bell pepper stew with mushroom and it was divine! The rice to soak up the casserole was cooked to perfection, something that Bobby Flay himself could learn from. My husband ordered the Manti, essentially carefully crafted tiny tortellini (although menu says ravioli, you would recognize it as more like tortellini) with a light beef filling and a funky yogurt sauce that I used my freshly baked "balloon bread" with black and natural sesame to mop up what little he left behind. If you are looking for a carb holiday, spend it here on the bread! They make their version of a deep dish pizza with it and I'm sure it's just as amazing. The service was great, lovely people, and prices oh so reasonable for the quality and quantity of such authentic food. Best bread I've had in 10 years, even better than Italy. Guy Fieri's people, if you're reading yelp, you've offically entered flavor town ! read more

I was just there this past weekend trying out there brunch deal. Every Saturday and Sunday they do a breakfast deal from 11am-3pm. $89.99 for 4 people or $39.99 for 2! Overall the service, presentation and quality of food was 10/10. We did have a group of 4 and I never felt like I was waiting for service. The bread was so fresh. Anytime our bread was getting low they brought us new fresh ones. The waitress was very nice. We sat the moment we walked in even without having a reservation. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area wanting a authentic Turkish breakfast :) read more

We ordered via Uber Eats to try a different Greek restaurant because we saw the BOGO. We got a falafel sandwich and a gyro sandwich X2 each - they were huge and mostly a thick soggy bun that the hummus had soaked into. The falafels were soggy. The cheese cigars were soggy. The chocolate baklava was tasty. The total bill with a $27 tip was $135!!! That was with a free delivery and the BOGO falafel and gyro! I feel like we were scammed on the BOGO because the food is definitely not worth the price. Thank you. read more

There is see what the food would be like as we are not very experienced with Turkish food. It is situated in a strip mall that has very good parking and well lit. The inside of the restaurant is extremely clean and inviting. Our waiter greeted us warmly gave us a seat, and took our order immediately. Our food was simply amazing. We had the sultans platter and the cheese cigars and the pepperoni pride. Each dish was better than the next. The food was simply amazing and cannot really say more about it. You have to go try! read more

First visit.... so far, so good. The hummus was creamy and delicious. The bread was excellent, not like pita I am accustomed to in other Mediterranean restaurants, but just as good. My co-worker had a gyro. I had the pide, both were delicious. Servings were very generous... so much so that my wife loved the leftover pide. We got three meals out of one order. There's a lot more to sample there. I'll be going back. read more

Stopped in here for a casual dinner with colleagues while at a conference nearby. It's quite unassuming, since it's in a strip mall not too far from the USF campus. But surprisingly, the food is great! It's a casual atmosphere, though your waiter will come and take your order once you're seated. We started with a mixed cold appetizers that featured fresh hummus, babaghanoush, two more kinds of eggplant dip (sauced and salad -- one of which was spicy), and haydari (a yogurt dip). Everything was fresh and delicious, and served with warm pita strips on the side. We also ordered the calamari, which came out nice and hot, but there wasn't much seasoning in the batter. I enjoyed it with the eggplant dip. For my main, I got the shrimp casserole that came with a side of rice which had some vermicelli mixed in. The shrimp came in a tomato sauce with peppers, which with the rice had a flavor similar to Spanish Rice. It was all very filling! Some of my colleagues ordered the large meat platter "Sultan's Plate" with lamb, beef, chicken and meatballs. It all looks amazing! Although I was too full for dessert, they had it in a display case off to the side. There was rice pudding and small Baklava. All in all, it was a great spot in an unlikely place. And the waiter was attentive, which was great. I would definitely come back again if I'm ever in the area! read more
