    Rice pudding
    Kevin W.

    This place is bigger than I was expecting. It is a good casual dining spot. Parking will be tough though. They have ample seating inside and outside. The bar is pretty nice and has 2 TVs with a good selection of spirits. I ordered the Agora Mixed Grill. It came with a sampling of all the meats, side salad, pita bread, and rice. Everything tasted great.

    Fantastic restaurant! We were lucky enough to come on a nice evening in May, so we enjoyed the rooftop dinner and nice breeze. I had the shrimp and scallops, as well as the gumbo. Everything was delicious and spot on. Really enjoyed the whole experience and I'd definitely come back!

    Wow. Amazing service and AMAZING FOOD. I live in phoenix but if I'm ever in atl again I'm coming back here. The Gyro plate was fantastic as were the beef and cheese filo dough rolls.

    We ordered take out from this restaurant in Atlanta. It was quite good! The order was easy to place and pick up. The packaging worked well for our short walk to our hotel. Both of our meals were filling and delicious. The dessert was great too! I'd like to return and dine in as the dining area seemed vibrant and friendly.

    There is free parking in front of the restaurant. No reservations needed and no wait time. Waiter was super attentive. Enjoyed hummus for appetizer, and wines which included glasses of White Haven and La Jolie Fleur, and also a wonderful cocktail called Byzantium Breeze. Entrees were Chicken Gyro Platters and Lamb Kebabs. The waiter ended our meal with a sample of rice pudding. Also want to mention the pita bread was amazing, light, fresh and warm. Prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed the rice that came with my lamb kebabs it was so savory and delicious. I would recommend visiting if you want a nice filling meal for a decent price.

    My first time finally eating there. I liked the spanikopita and soup. Service was ok, and I wasn't too busy or too loud which was nice. Very pretty decor. Will definitely revisit.

    Chicken Gyro Plate
    Claire M.

    SO SO SO GOOD. I'm obsessed with this place. They give you such large portions for a reasonable price. My favorite is the chicken gyro plate. The chicken is always on point. They are really quick with to-go orders which is what I normally do. They do however have a nice outside patio for outdoor dining. The staff is very friendly and kind excited to welcome and serve you every time. If you are looking for some really good Greek food I cannot recommended this place enough.

    Lam Lamb Gyro Plate

    Cafe Agora is a very decent Mediterranean which does everything ok, nothing bad, but nothing great. We went to Cafe Agora after seeing great reviews and because Mediterranean is our favorite type of food. Upon arriving the restaurant was clean but pretty cold, a little dark, and we didn't feel like the service was anything great. To start we had Sigara rolls (cheese) which are basic but might have been the best part of the mean, we also had the hummus which tasted similar to a store bought hummus. We both had a gyro plate for our entrees and nothing really stood out over other Mediterranean places we have tried. To be clear nothing was bad or offensive but it was all very average. Overall I'd be interested in giving Cafe Agora another try if I'm nearby, but it's not a place I'm dying to come back to.

    Cafe Agora is a decent spot for Mediterranean food! There is seating both inside and outside and the interior of the restaurant has a rustic feel with some cool decorations. The service was also good. I got the Chicken Shish Kebab which was good, but I felt like the chicken was not super tender. The Turkish Potatoes were a bit of a let down because I felt like the sauce was what made it goodthe potatoes itself did not taste like they had a lot of seasoning and so the overall flavor was not really there. I really liked the Hummus! It tasted yummy and paired well with the Pita. I also got the Pistachio Baklava which was delicious.

    Love the mezze platter where you can try a variety of dips with pita bread. My favorite was surprisingly the carrot salad. For the main entree I got the lamb shish kebab. The meat was super tender, juicy, and flavorful. Rice and salad was just ok. Service was great! Parking was hard to find spots but eventually we were able to find a spot in the lot .

    Chicken Gyro
    Joyita B.

    My husband and I visited this place for lunch yesterday. They have a parking deck right in front, it's free. The did not even require advance reservations, it was pretty empty. The host was friendly, interiors were very Mediterranean. It mentally transported me back to Mykonos. The blue and white walls and the paintings really set the mood. The food arrived pretty soon. The falafels were the best I've had in town so far. Also my Adana kebab was fabulous. It was a decadent minced lamb kebab with spices. The food wasn't spicy at all for my palate. My husband seemed to enjoy his chicken gyro. I will return to this place to try other different things as well.

    Mixed Mix Gyro Plate

    We came here to lunch with a friend around 11:30 am and we were first ones there. We sat on their patio and were taken care right away. I got mixed gyro plate and it was a lot of food. Their pita bread was so soft and everything was delicious. Perfect lunch spot

We arrived at the restaurant an hour before our show and notified the waitress that we were on a tight timeline. We prepaid in an effort to save time and not have spend time at the end to close out.

Problem is that I don't like to drive the distance via the highway. Luckily my cousin is here and he was willing to drive. It was a Thursday night and we thought we'd try to avoid the evening rush hour traffic. It was still busy but we made it. This location is right by the 715 Peachtree Parking Garage and the restaurant does validate parking. We went in about 7:30 pm and it wasn't crowded. We waited for the one waitress before she told us to sit anywhere. I knew what I wanted because of past experience and finding a menu online. I let my cousin know that all of the food is good and their portions are huge. I got the Greek Combo and he got the lamb skewers with a salad. I also ordered the Dolmades as an appetizer. The Dolmades came out fairly quickly with a side of warm pita quarters. The combination of the two was yummy! It wasn't too long after that our entrees came. My cousin's salad came soon after the entrees were delivered. It came in a bowl on a larger plate with dressing on the side. As he was trying to pick out the cucumbers because of allergies, things were falling out, so I suggested he out the contents on the plate. The salad covered the plate and was high. I must have misread what was in the combo because as I started to eat, there was spanakopita, pastitio and then I found the eggplant for the moussaka. I thought the combo was moussaka and pastitio only. As I said, the portions were huge. It also comes with green beans and rice or Greek potatoes I got the potatoes. I barely made a dent in my order, it was definitely filling. My cousin had 2 large skewers with rice and green beans. He too had a huge portion with rice and green beans. We both had to ask for boxes the take our food home. Our waitress asked if we wanted dessert so we asked what they had. I remember that the Norcross location had a large display case with cakes, baklava and cheesecake. They only had three choices to offer---baklava, Greek cheesecake and another Greek dessert. I chose the baklava for my cousin and I to split and a box to take 1/2 home. We shared the 1/2 and that was plenty for the 2 of us. I don't remember if there was music playing in the background, but because it wasn't crowded, my cousin and I could have a nice conversation and feel comfortable. Our waitress was attentive, making sure our drinks were refilled. When we first came in, I let her know I missed having the Norcross location because it was convenient for me, but I understand why they closed to maintain the one location. She had worked at the Norcross location for 6 years with the waitress who I always had when I went in. I think she was actually one of the owners. If it wasn't so far to get to for me, I'd go more frequently. For those who go to the Fox Theatre, I'd definitely recommend having dinner here before the show. It's only a block from the theatre.

The menu said there was no red sauce, but I didn't think there was no sauce period. Apparently instead of a sauce, the base was cheese so it was a thick layer. I loved it! Very unique.

Stopped in for the first time last week. I had this bookmarked for a while and decided it was time to check it out for date night. Hubby ordered the beef sticks with grape leaves and I ordered the burger with a side of fries. We started out with the saganaki (flaming cheese). Everything was delicious with the exception of the grape leaves (can't recall the official name of this dish). I told hubby that some reviews had mentioned they were soggy and not too good. He agreed with those reviewers and would not recommend. The saganaki was both literal and metaphorical fire. The pita points it was served with were crunchy, which was pleasantly surprising. We both did wish there was some kind of sweetness to complement the cheese like a fruit jam or something, but it was delicious regardless. The beef on the sticks was tasty as was the burger but the star of the whole show were the fries. Hubby typically does not like fries but he loved these and was happy that I let him share them with me. Lol I am not sure what kind of seasoning they had but our taste buds definitely approved. They don't come with the burger but were definitely worth getting on the side. It was a little on the pricey side at about $35-40 more than our typical date night spend for less food, but it was good overall. Too pricey to make it into our weekly rotation, but will be a nice addition to our special occasion options.

The service has always been really great, and the owner is genuinely nice and always ready for a pleasant conversation. But sometimes the food comes out... average at best? I really only come here when I have the taste for mediterranean fare but don't feel like cooking it since it's so nearby. There are some things they do well. I like their baba ganoush, hummus, and beet salad. But other things are a bit lackluster and the meats can be a hit or miss. Sometimes it's dry, other times it's succulent. The pita is toasted, but you can surely tell it isn't made fresh. My husband is obsessed with wings and even he said the wings served here are a BIG no. Also cannot recommend the fries, as they've been notoriously dry and cold. Perhaps we should not have expected good wings given that it's primarily mediterranean fare lol. The parking situation is also abysmal. They share a really small lot and the individual spots are poorly marked. This place is off of Briarcliff and the traffic is notorious for being bad, so that makes coming and going that much harder in a lot that's already a little treacherous. When the parking lot is full, it is like playing 2-ton Tetris. I'll also note that the hours can sometimes be a suggestion, and they unexpectedly close earlier than indicated (but will leave a handwritten note). This place seems to be a local favorite. The prices are nice. I just wish it was more reliable with taste and quality.
