    7/19/2019 - Lamb Platter
    Eddie P.

    Food: 4 Service: 5 Ambience: 4 Date/Time: 7/19/2019 7:30pm Order: Lamb Platter (sub Tabouli for salad), Mediterranean Platter Crowd: 2 other tables occupied In a search for a Greek Fiesta replacement, this one comes close. The chicken has a different but tasty spice to it and is tender. The tabouli is very good and similar in quality. The hummus is plain and more of a smoother texture with a stronger lemony taste. It's very good but my preference leans more toward a thicker texture (usually from leaving the shell on the garbanzo beans). The menu offerings and prices are in line with other similar places. Unlike Greek Fiesta, the service here is very quick and with friendly faces. And the orders are accurate. The restaurant is small but has plenty of tables (about 15) and is kept up and clean. The noise level was medium when 4 tables filled up. Would definitely recommend it! ======= Update 5/4/2020 Finally found a permanent home in Taza Grill for great Mediterranean to replace Greek Fiesta! Haven't been to many food places since COVID but have kept going to Taza now twice a week to help keep them afloat. Highly recommend you try them! The owners are very friendly and accommodating! ---------- Update 5/23/2020 Now open for dining in @ 50% capacity

    Looking to try sth new and came over based on yelp reviews and glad I did. We ordered for lunch Lamb platter - salad was fresh . The lamb was flavorful and not overpowering Falafel platter - falafel cane in 4 medallion shape. Seasoned relatively light and not as overpowering as some other places. The pita bread was soft and warm. Will try again for sure.

    I came here and all 3 employees had no mask, no gloves... nothing. And all 3 of them were handling food and/or drink cups. We still ended up getting food but I sorta wish we hadn't. We both got the gyro combo which comes with fries and a drink for $10.99. I got chicken for the gyro. The gyro was freshly made but ended up being pretty bland. The chicken had minimal seasoning and the chunks were large, and the only noticeable flavor came from the tzaziki, which you don't get in every bite. The fries were also freshly made but very bland. No salt or seasoning at all. They have seasoning in the back you can add but we just happened upon it - they didn't mention or suggest it. The service was "eh" regardless of the lack of masks. But with no masks on top of that? Yikes. If I want to spend $11 per meal I'll probably look elsewhere.

    Went for lunch and was surprised at the amount of foot traffic they have walking in - very busy and amazingly, it seemed the owner behind the counter new half the people by name. They must be doing something right with such a high number of regulars that clearly keep coming back. Despite what the sign says, my gyro was not the "best gyro in town," although it was good and the food was ready instantly (probably because they prepare well for the lunch rush). It's not in my normal driving area but if back on that side of town, I'd give it another try. Probably 3.5 stars just on food (just a gyro and fries) but the service bumped it up enough I'd come back.

    Food: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Value: 4/5 We started with the Ajja platter, which came with whipped feta, za'atar oil, eggplant dip, lemon hummus, and three pieces of bread. The whipped feta was my favorite, topped with strawberry jam and absolutely delicious. We ended up ordering an extra basket of bread ($7.50) because we ran out quickly. The bulgur salad was hands down the best thing I ate all night. I'll return for that alone and will probably order a second one to-go for lunch the next day. It had some kind of crunchy element that made the texture incredible. For our main, we had the short rib. The flavors were excellent and I can see why it's so highly reviewed. That said, at $48, I'm not sure the portion size justified the price. We each had two relatively small pieces and some vegetables. Drink-wise, I ordered the espresso martini ($18). It was a fantastic espresso martini, one of the better ones I've had, but again, the size made the price feel a little steep. My spouse ordered the Old Fashioned, which was also excellent and came with a nice orange twist. The restaurant itself is very cute inside with great décor and interesting seating areas. The back patio is beautiful, and according to owner Paul (who was incredibly friendly), they're opening a boat bar and outdoor kitchen, which sounds like it will make the space even better! The only reason I didn't rate the ambiance higher was that it felt a little warm inside during our visit. However, it sounded like they were dealing with a power-related issue, and with the unusually hot weather we've been having, I suspect the older building was having a hard time keeping up. It wouldn't keep me from returning, but I'd probably wait until the fall just in case. I worry as it gets hotter this summer it may always be a little warm. Our total for two people, an appetizer, salad, entrée, and two alcoholic drinks, was about $140 including tax, plus a 3% credit card surcharge (before tip). I'll definitely be back for the bulgur salad and to check out the outdoor space this fall! A boat bar sounds so cool! Parking: Street parking, a small side lot, or neighboring business lots after 5 PM!

We dined at their lovely bar back in the first months of their opening, and it was good. We had met the general manager, Red, and were impressed with the flavors of our one appetizer, Calabrian Chicken, yet we never rushed back. Now, we feel compelled to return ASAP to enjoy these exceptional flavors, fabulous teamwork system of service, and a comfortable chic atmosphere. The place was happening at 5:45 pm on our recent dining night out with friends. Grateful to have a reservation we were seated at a very comfortable banquette type of seating. It felt like dining in a friend's home. Our server, William, is excellent at his job. Very efficient, great input on food choices, and quite personable. The meal started off with a burst of flavor as we enjoyed their fairly new offering of a ceviche called Eye of the Tiger that featured a sauce you can never get enough of. Wish their bread service was a bit more inspired, but the Le Farm bread did soak up some of the various sauces sent out from a very inspired kitchen team. Food runners help make certain the tapas come out fresh and hot when needed. They are a friendly group of hospitality workers who seem to genuinely enjoy their work and treat their guests with sincere appreciation. It all starts at the top, and GM Red is a personable and sound leader. We loved the Chef's pasta, our octopus dish was stellar, the Calabrian Chicken almost stole the show, but the unctuous flavors on the plate of the Seared Halloumi was hands down my favorite. I love how this culinary team can crank out such outstanding flavors table to table and patron to patron without missing a beat. The energy in the room must feed their souls & for that we are grateful. Lastly I wish to mention the thoughtfully curated wine list where my husband discovered a treasure of a wine from the Familia Torres brand. It was exquisite and paired perfectly with Madre's flavors. Our friend who frequent their bar often rave about their Mezcal margarita! Another visit. See you soon Madre familia!

When you arrive you'll walk past the smoky hollow archway and find the entrance to the restaurant. When you walk in you'll feel like you transported to an upscale, late night social hot spot. To start we sat at the bar and I ordered the Satin Espresso Martini (brandy, orange & vanilla custard cream, averna, fresh espresso) which was well balanced and nice and cold. After our first drink we migrated to a table where I ordered a charred old fashioned (rye whiskey, burnt sugar, PX sherry, citrus bitters) which was on the sweeter side with a smoky finish. I also ordered a Madre Margarita (tequila blanco, mezcal, lime, agave) which had a nice mezcal finish. Out of all the drinks I'd say my favorite was the espresso martini. After drinks we ordered food which consisted of bread service (union special sourdough, cultured butter, chives, flake salt), venison tartare (tender strip loin tossed with shallots, capers, and house russian dressing. served on toasted marble rye, finished with egg yolk jam and pecorino romano), salchpapas (where street food an comfort food meet. crispy potatoes, chorizo, and dijonaise), brisket croquetas (slow braised birria and melted monterrey jack rolled in crispy panko. served with lime aioli, pickled fennel, onion, and watermelon radish salad), and the Calabrian chicken (hot honey chili aioli, and chives). The stand out dish was by far the Calabrian chicken which was deep fried and had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. They ran out of ribeyes on this trip, but next time I'm at the Madre I'll definitely have to try their steak. Definitely check this restaurant out if you are in the Glenwood South area.

We ordered the grape leaves, baklava, namoora and tabbouli. I am Lebanese and these are staples in our home. The grape leaves were extremely dry and tough. The rice was very undercooked and the leaves themselves were so dry and tough we could barely chew through them. We ordered 12 and thought maybe it was a fluke but all 12 were completely inedible and we threw them out immediately. The baklava was okay, nothing to write home about. Very simple syrup forward and you couldn't taste much else (we ordered the walnut). The namoora was stale. Very dry. Namoora should melt in your mouth with with a slight chew. This was again, tough and stale. We threw those out as well. Lastly, our favorite salad, tabbouli. The lemon taste was nonexistent. The parsley wasn't chopped fine as Tabbouli should be. It was a watery mess. Overall, we won't be back. We spent over $75 on 4 items and left feeling hungry and bamboozled. There are other Lebanese food spots to visit in the Raleigh area, I will stick to those. Please do better when representing Lebanese cuisine. 15 workers behind the counter can seem like you're doing something right but in the end, it all comes down to the freshness and authenticity of what you are claiming to serve.

His service was greatly appreciated as all of us wanted to make it somewhere to watch The Canes game! He was efficient with opening the wine and getting our dinner orders in right away. Thank you Diondre for a great start to our evening. All of us raved over our food. Two of our friends had the Tomahawk Pork Chop featuring spinach, barrel-aged feta, herb aioli, and yummy Greek lemon potatoes. Both people agreed the kitchen team cooked them perfectly. One person absolutely loved his fire-roasted lamb chops that also had the delicious Greek lemon potatoes. Another one of our friends loved her Chicken penne Mykonos which we have ordered to-go many times. It looks even better in the restaurant as it has spinach, feta, mushrooms, tomatoes, white wine lemon cream sauce, and parmesan. This dish is a must try when you visit Taverna Agora in downtown Raleigh. Lastly, someone at the table exclaimed that their grilled salmon was one of the best salmon dishes he had ever enjoyed as its unique presentation features pickled beetroot, sautéed spinach, and a lemon caper sauce. I had the Poseidon Branzino which was fabulous. The dish had roasted branzino, medley of sautéed cherry tomatoes and onions, fresh herb rice, and skordalia (I had to look up what that is - a fascinating Greek garlic puree). The blending of all those flavors made for a scrumptious dinner, and thanks to the kitchen team for preparing it perfectly so that I could even eat the skin of the fish. We shared two bottles of Assyrtiko wine which is one of our favorite Greek wines after visiting Greece a few years ago. The wine list at Taverna is simple but thorough and fun to experiment with.

We opted for the rooftop as it was a nice evening. To start I ordered the Baklava Old Fashioned (Bulleit bourbon, homemade baklava syrup, Angostura bitters, and Amarena cherries) which was amazing. Next we ordered the trio of all three spreads (Tzatziki, sun-dried tomato hummus, and spicy feta spread) and the calamari. Both dishes were excellent and I definitely prefer the spicy feta and tzatziki sauce. For my main course I ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chop (Chargrilled tomahawk chop, spinach, barrel-aged feta, herb aioli, Greek lemon potatoes) which was a bit disappointing. I probably should have sent the pork chop back as it was cooked well done and was very dry but was I was too hungry and didn't want to make my parents wait. For dessert I ordered Baklava Cheesecake (New York-style cheesecake with nuts and baklava filling) which was very nice and my mom ordered the Limoncello cake (lemon cake with lemon cream frosting) which was definitely the star of the show. If I'm back downtown I may try Taverna Agora again but will definitely avoid ordering the pork chop.
