Agora in Tysons Corner is a lovely, chic Middle Eastern-Greek spot with a stylish interior and a lively, bustling energy on a weekend night. The room feels upscale but relaxed, with a buzz that makes it a fun place for a group dinner. Service was a standout. Our waitress Melissa was excellent--attentive, warm, and knowledgeable--and the manager also stopped by to check in, which added to the welcoming feel. The wine list is thoughtfully curated. The Assyrtiko is a great choice--crisp, mineral-driven, and genuinely evocative of a seaside Greek vacation. We opted for the restaurant week menu and shared most of the dishes so we could sample widely. The trio of dips with piping-hot bread was a strong start, and the dolmas were savory and satisfying. The olive oil here deserves special mention--high quality and used generously in a way that enhances rather than overwhelms. The borek had an interesting sweet-savory contrast with the tomato marmalade, while the mushrooms with sherry vinegar were deeply savory and one of the more memorable bites of the night. The chicken shish touk was perfectly cooked, juicy, and well-accompanied by pickled onions and roasted tomato. The branzino was pleasant but on the milder side in comparison. Dessert was solid across the board--the chocolate dessert and pudding were good--but the baklava was the clear standout. Overall, a polished, enjoyable spot with strong flavors, thoughtful wine, and genuinely good hospitality. read more

Agora Tysons is amazing! I live in DC and accidentally ordered delivery from the Tysons location instead of the DuPont shop. Regardless, the delivery was quick and the food was delicious. Fresh, unique and well presented, even with the distance! We got their manti, kazandibi, lahmacun, adana kebab, and toum, harissa dips. Honestly, you can't go wrong! All the choices were amazing. Further, the delivery came with some fresh bread for the sauces... that was nice! I wish this was explicit on the delivery app since I got the lahmacun, anticipating no bread for the dips. Still, the lahmacun was worth getting even with the extra bread! Thank you for the delicious food. read more

This is another restaurant that I just had to try after seeing it on my social media timeline. We decided to try the bottomless brunch on a Sunday afternoon and it was amazing! The brunch is $42 and you can add mimosas for $3 per glass. This is a great way to try a bunch of different items from their menu. I would love to point out what was good but honestly, it was a hit all around! We were so stuffed when we left. The mimosas are very strong (if that is your thing). There is complimentary parking in the building attached to the restaurant. The staff was nice and the food came out at a great pace. The interior of the restaurant is very cute. Overall, a gem in the Tyson's corner area. I will definitely return to check on the dinner menu. read more

We came for bottomless brunch for $42 a person. Unfortunately, drinks and mimosas are not included and it costs $3 each. I really loved the small plates they start everyone off with, particularly the truffled devil eggs. The cherry jam and butter is also delicious to dip your warm pita in. We then got the french toast, kymali benedict, salmon benedict, yogurt parfait, and scrambled eggs. The scrambled eggs were average. The standout for me was the kymali lamb benedict with turkey sausage, but my friends preferred the salmon so I would say to get both. The yogurt parfait was also average. A hack is to pour the baklava syrup from the french toast on the yogurt parfait. We also got a bunch of french toast without the french toast (just a plate of berries with cream) and this was delicious to finish the meal with. Overall, it was good and filling but I'm not sure if I would come back given this price point. I might try out the DC location if they had bottomless mimosas there. Another thing to note is that the waiters don't come to your table often in the 2 hours so I would recommend ordering more every time rather than waiting for them. read more

Bar none one of the best experiences I have had in the DMV for quite some time. I find myself rarely satisfied, much less impressed, with a new restaurant; and even rarer is one I find cause to return to. Agora checks all boxes. Good quality of ingredients as well as execution. The only critique I have upon the food is that perhaps more spice can be utilized. I suspect the lessening thereof is to cater to Western audiences whose palettes are not acclimated nor accustomed to such. Likewise, some dishes such as the lamb may benefit from a glaze or sauce. I will say, of the dishes I had, the anchor score goes to the falafel; whose texture and filling were not to the par of the other dishes. Likewise, I am impressed at the speed with which my meal was prepared. As my partner's cappucino order was projected to take some time, we were proactively offered the beverage on the house. Such standard of service is something I have not encountered in some time, and some thing I would be remiss to not note with distinction. The unique and upscale decor coupled with upbeat dance music makes for a good scene. With how decent the prices are, I would note that this establishment is highly accessible to a wide array of audiences and the every man; as well as be choice for recurring visits. Accordingly, I am inspired to create compilation subsets which detail my comparative analysis of local offerings. While I will mull over the finer details of these categories, I presume Agora as being within the top 10 of the DMV for upscale value dining; and within the top 50 restaurants in the area, regardless of category. read more

Went for the Bottomless Brunch and it was great! They give you all of the appetizers and some pita bread Favorites were the: 11/10 Labneh Cherry Jam Smoked salmon Deviled Eggs Then we moved onto the flat breads and meats: Between the two of us it was good, but it wasn't as amazing as the appetizers. 8/10 Entree: We chose 1 each I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict My partner had the Kavurmali Fried Eggs These were decent, but still not as great as the appetizers. It could've also been that we were close to full at this point. 8.5/10 The desserts were so good!!!! Saturate the bread in the syrup they give! The parfait had dried fruits, honey, and granola It was so good! 10/10 The music was nice, but not too loud. This place is definitely modern and upscale! It was about 88 (without tip or drinks included) and is worth the experience every special occasion! The service was quick and the server was so sweet! He made recommendations and was very attentive! We will be back for this appetizers and desserts! 10/10 would recommend and will be back again! Potentially to try the lunch or dinner because that looks good too! read more

Out of towner alert!! But wow this is by far one of my TOP brunch experiences to date. And boy do I brunch! First of all the bottomless plates + $3 drink add ons is a deal in of itself but it makes you question quality. But the quality is here hun!! Some of my favorite dishes were the pillowy soft bread, yogurt dips, turkey sausage, falafel and the veggie omelette. This is a great way to dip your feet in Mediterranean dishes and spices and figure out what you like. The server was so sweet and all of the bussers and runners were on point. We love to see it. The lavender G&T is a game changer. Don't miss the parfait at the end read more

Went here in the past for restaurant week and realized I forgot to review and wanted to get one in before people start decided where to go for restaurant week this month! I did the lunch deal at agora in Tyson's and it was so much food in the best way. The first course was a series of dips with pita bread on the table that just kept on coming. The second dish we had a choice of a couple things and I chose to do what was essentially a beef dumpling dish and then the third was baklava. Loved all the courses, baklava was a bit on the smaller side but came with a scoop of ice cream. read more

I normally would not go out here to dine on my own accord, but on an after work dinner, team opted to go here and I was pleasantly surprised. Came in around 5:30 and it was mostly empty. Server was very friendly and talked us through the menu. It's definitely sharing/tapas style, but unfortunately my team ended up just ordering their own dishes though we did share a sampler spread together. That was tasty and a nice appetizer to start. I ended up ordering the lamb chops and was surprised out how juicy they were. $22 was a bit expensive, but at least the food was good. Also ordered the golden daisy to drink which I couldn't really taste the scotch or feel it. Hard to tell if it was just really well incorporated or light on the spirit. Flavor was solid though. Overall, I feel like most people opt to go to Founding Farmers for their corporate dinners and I've never been a fan. But this place I wouldn't be mad at returning! read more

I just can't recommend this place enough!!! I saw this place on 2022 Best Restaurant on random Yelp's pic of other restaurant and decided to try this place on 4/16 for our anniversary. For weekend lunch, they offer bottomless brunch. At first I was disappointed because it was unexpected, but little did I know how delicious their brunch menu were!!! The server for our table was soooo nice. He recommended us to get everything on appetizer while we decide what we want to get for main since we didn't have much understanding on menu, all of the appetizers were AMAZING!!! It was such an eye opening experience. I personally liked their deviled egg&salad&greek yogurt appetizers. For main, I know it's weird but potatoes were really good, and the rest had super balanced flavor, and it was just FLAWLESS!!!! We got to sit in the little cocoon/booth, and that just made me feel like I am back in NYC outdoor rooftop bar. It is this little thing that makes experience extra special and romantic. Definitely RECOMMEND this place to anyone!!! AND YES! There is free garage parking in the same building! read more

Went for dinner and OMG! From the minute we walked in until the minute we were treated very well by everyone. Our server Bekzat was awesome. I had the two yogurt dips the cucumber mint was my favorite oh it came with warm bread too. I also had the sirloin cubed kebab and that's where my OMG came in.. I loved it. You don't always find a steak so well cooked, well seasoned and juicy and tender . My husband had the lamb and NY strip and he really liked it. We also had the ottoman rice which was also good. And we finished it off with a pistachio soufflé which reminded me of Italy's best pistachio croissants! The soufflé came with goat milk ice cream which made it just that more decadent. I had the thyme cocktail which reminded me of a mimosa. I did expect a bubbly as it had Prosecco but it just did not wow me. I guess some people like it Maybe I try a different one next time. The place is also pretty which made it perfect for our date night. read more

dined in for their bottomless brunch. Everything was served at the table based on our order. We started with some delicious truffled eggs and warm bread paired with acuka, which were excellent. However, when we ordered different egg omelets, some of them were just one-egg omelets, and we felt there should have been more entrée options given the price. The sweets were limited to yogurt and French toast; we were hoping for a variety of baklava but were disappointed with the few options available. Overall, the experience had its highlights, but there's room for improvement, especially in the variety of dishes offered. read more

My wife and I came here for the brunch on Saturday (and Sundays). The first thing that stands out to me is the service. My wife is hard of hearing and they did their best to accommodate; actually one of the first restaurants they gave us choices places to sit. The server was not experienced working with people that are hard of hearing so the manager came by to check on us periodically. Now to the food; my actual review is 3.5 stars for the service, the ambience and the experience. However, the food was more of a three star experience for me. I had to ask for the juice options and had planned to get the Turkish coffee but the server never offered it, and I like Turkish coffee. Tips 1) the menus at the DC and Tysons are slightly different. I read the menu for the DC location which includes the drinks (TYSONS does not) and is a little more expensive. Not a dealbreaker, but when you go to brunch, you would like to have that bottomless experience and not have to worry about anything. I wish I would have tried the DC LOC first 2) try the Turkish beef sausage. 3) make reservations at least a day in advance, otherwise it's ova-wit read more

the service was rude, slow, and completely unprofessional. The staff clearly treated us rudely from the moment we arrived, and it honestly felt like they didn't care about our experience at all. Agora has changed completely and is no longer the friendly, welcoming restaurant it used to be. The way we were treated was unacceptable, and the lack of respect and customer service was shocking. I absolutely do not recommend this place anymore. read more

Agora in Tysons is a charming spot, exuding a delightful blend of eclectic and natural elements that make for a visually pleasing dining experience. Adorned with bright, quirky lighting fixtures, expansive windows, and eccentric metal furniture, the space is further enhanced by an abundance of green flora, creating a refreshing, nature-esque vibe. We walked in on a Tuesday around 12:30pm, where there wasn't a wait. The restaurant was about half-full, but got considerably more crowded throughout the lunch period, indicating it's a favored spot for a work lunch. We began by sharing the Hummus ($9), accompanied by complimentary pita bread. The hummus was creamy and rich but lacked a certain depth of flavor, and we weren't particularly fond of the large pool of oil sitting atop. The pita, however, was a highlight--warm, pillowy-soft, and perfect for scooping up any dip. We also ordered two Pideler (flatbreads), ideal for sharing. The Mixed Cheese Pide ($10), topped with goat cheese, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and dates, was a delightful surprise, reminiscent of a Mediterranean margherita pizza. The cheese ratio was just right, making it a personal favorite. My coworkers raved about the Sucuklu Pide ($12), which featured spicy Turkish beef sausage, mozzarella, and pesto. For my entree, I opted for the Gavurdagi Salad ($12). While flavorful and texturally diverse, the portion felt a bit small for the price. The salad balanced the oil base with the acidity of pomegranate and vinegar, making it light and refreshing. One coworker chose the Adana Kebap ($16), consisting of minced lamb and New York strip kebap, grilled tomato, sumac onions, and lavash bread. Though tasty, the portion size was underwhelming. I'd recommend one of their wraps--like the Falafel Wrap ($15) or Chicken Wrap ($17), both served with your choice of thyme fries or a side salad for a more filling option. Service was notably slow, requiring multiple attempts to get the attention of the staff both to place our order and to pay the bill. Despite this, the atmosphere of Agora and the quality of the food made it a worthwhile visit. The prices, while reflective of the Tysons Corner area, were reasonable. Agora is an adorable spot for a business lunch, and I would consider returning, perhaps for their happy hour specials or to explore some of their indulgent-sounding dinner sharing plates. read more

If you're looking for a bottomless brunch (food only) option - Agora in Tysons is a great choice. For $42 pp their brunch offers a selection of Mediterranean cuisine with Turkish roots... Some of the options with the appetizers include: Humus, Labneh, Truffled eggs, Gavurdagi salad and much much more. And entrée styled dishes, such as: French toast, Salmon Eggs Benedict, Kiymali Eggs Benedict, Turkey Bacon, Halloumi cheese etc. Everything that I tried was delicious, and because of the tapas style dining, it's an excellent opportunity to sample a a lot of the dishes on the brunch menu without feeling overly full or causing a bunch of food waste. One of the highlights of this space was the Mediterranean style decor. With the range of seating options, each table has its own unique vibe and section of the restaurant to admire. There are eyes of protection situated in nooks and crannies which I loved, and their crockery added to the ambiance. read more

Very wholesome & tasty meal. Service was decent - while most vegetarian items can be made vegan by removing the cheese, not everything was doable (for example, we requested the flatbread with just cherry tomatoes and dates but was not possible. Between 3 of us, we shared Hummus, Labneh, Dolmades, Mixed Mushrooms, Bruksel Lahana, and Falafel. We wanted to get the Grilled Caulini but they were out I believe. For dessert we tried Baklava and Chocolate Mousse. All the food was very tasty; in order of top choices: 1) Mixed Mushrooms - we got these without goat cheese but they would have been even more delicious with the creamy goat cheese. Nicely seasoned and sautéed for a chewy texture. 2) Bruksel Lahana - so good! Crispy, warm, slightly sour and hints of sweet raisins. 3) Dolmades - this can be hit or miss, I personally like the cold rice-filled grape leaf dish and enjoyed Agora's flavorful version. 4) Hummus and Labneh - both spreads were super creamy and fresh. Loved taking bites with pita bread, labneh, hummus, and mixed mushrooms! 5) Falafel - good and crispy but nothing spectacular, with only 3 small falafel balls. 6) Chocolate Mousse - couldn't eat this. Very bitter and thick, and I knew going in it was avocado-based, but was unpleasantly surprised. Baklava was great too! I'd love to come again and try the Hitipiti, Baba Ghanouj, Cacik, Warm Goat Cheese, and Borek. Lots of vegetarian options! Lovely spot to share plates with a small group. read more

Oh, WOW! I was not expecting such perfection! A fresh and perfectly designed ambiance. Friendly welcoming service ( I strongly suggest you make a reservation even if for one person). My server, Ogui, was flawless, fun, and entertaining but also superb with his service. The food was perfect all around. The best Mediterranean (Turkish) sampler I've ever had! And that calamari is also the best grilled one I've ever had! I cannot say enough good things about it. Good value and great location, too. I can't wait to be back! read more

First time here for a bday celebration- had the sampler dip, beef kepap, grilled chicken, kibbe, kofta, saganaki, dolmas and falafel. The pita was nice and warm and the grilled beef kepap and chicken were good, the dips and sauces were delicious. The kibbe and kofta were dry and lacked flavor, the dolmas were also very wet and too vinegary and didn't hold together well. The cheese was good. Overall, service was decent but a bit slow. The place was packed on a week night. Loud and overpriced. read more

Delicious bottomless brunch with a beautiful ambience. The bottomless menu includes a a wide variety of mezze and egg dishes. For the starters, all the appetizers are brought out to the table along with fresh pita bread made in house. The appetizers are a variety of hummus, Turkish salad, hummus, Zatar, and other dips. You can order from the variety of egg dishes that are available but can also request multiples of the same dish if you want. It was a lot of food and perfect for sharing. The mixed cheese flatbread was the standout dish for me, it is the ultimate comfort food, with the perfect combination of cheesy goodness and fluffy bread. The rest of dishes were good as well and service was fast. They were also bringing out dishes so you never had to wait between orders. The only thing I wish they could improve on is the option of ordering proteins without eggs. It would be nice to have other protein options on the menu. Overall everything was delicious and it's a great place to go for brunch. read more

Perfection. This is my favorite place in the DMV for unlimited small plates. We had a reservation when they first opened and we were sat promptly when we arrived. Service was quick and the all you can eat options were explained thoroughly. The food was packed with flavor and we are definitely coming back. Don't be discouraged by the price of unlimited plates. Sure, there are cheaper options elsewhere, but I really don't think they can compare with Agora's quality and flavors. read more
