Our crew decided to try this Turkish restaurant. A couple of our crew had been here before and it came highly recommended. Their menu is much larger than a typical Mediterranean restaurant. I decided on the Gyro Pide, kind of like a gyro pizza. Everyone got their food before me so allow for extra tome to prepare it! It was the most delicious bread dough I have ever had. The beef gyro meat was also very good. My wife got the grilled chicken platter with rice. Both were delicious and the portions were huge. My wife took home 3/4 of her dish and I took home 1/2. You could probably order one meal and split it! She also had the rice pudding for dessert, I tasted and can say it was very good also. One person in our party ordered the Baloon bread which comes with several toppings. It makes for a good appetizer. We will definitely be adding this restaurant to our rotation!
The food was excellent. It was just like the food we had in Istanbul. We had the oven baked hummus, lamb gyros and manti and they were all good. We even had some Turkish tea. Will be back. The service was good and the inside was comfortable.
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!
We went to Angora on a Sunday morning in time for the weekend breakfast and were seated immediately. I had heard that it gets pretty busy on the weekends, so I was pleasantly surprised as it was my first time trying it out. The service was quick too. We were a group of 5 and did the breakfast for four and it was perfect amount of food for our group, with leftover bread! For our two egg dishes, we chose the menemen and sucuklu yumarta - both were amazing! I especially liked the menemen and how saucy it was. There's a variety of breads and spreads that are served with the breakfast and they are all delicious. I will definitely be back to have this breakfast again!!
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!
Food was excellent, and the service was wonderful too. We will definitely come back when we're in Tampa. Would highly recommend!!!
I was really craving Mediterranean so I decided to stop here for a falafel pita. $11.99. This was the worst falafel I've ever had. It was cold and flavorless. The fact that they would serve me this shows they don't take pride in their establishment, nor do they respect their customers. Utterly disappointed.
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!
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
I wanted (Turkish) stuffed grape leave. After reading some reviews and headed to Angora. I was not disappointed! Everything was delicious, staff was very friendly, as well. I liked ot so much, I brought friends and family back...a few hours later! We'll be back when we're in town!
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.
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!
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the authentic Turkish flavors, friendly and attentive service, clean, inviting atmosphere, and good value for money.

Second time in my life having Turkish food, and I can honestly say I'll definitely be back for more! Sam was our waiter, and he was fantastic. He took the time to tell us about his culture--mainly because I asked a million questions--and he made the whole experience even better. The food was absolutely unreal, the Turkish coffee was amazing, and the Turkish tea was so good. If you've never tried authentic Turkish food, you're missing out. Be prepared to leave full and already planning your next visit! read more

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

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
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

Food portions are huge! Great deal for price. Come hungry:). Our server explained the dishes to us and helped us to make some 'don't miss' selections for us. Balloon bread is unusual and delicious. Had stuffed grape leaves for appetizers and lamb beyti for main course. It was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be coming back the next time we are in Tampa. read more
Nice and taste. Came here for some Turkish food. Service was prompt and attentive. The kunefe and kazandibi were awesome. The tea was not that good though. Pretty much tasted like grass clippings. But very happy with the food. read more
