The food here is simply delicious. We had as starter the seafood salad and the Kizartma. As a main we had the Moussaka and Seafood Guvec. Highly recommend the Gouvec. Atmosphere is nice and cozy and the staff very friendly.

As appetiser we get calamari, hot and delicious. Hot pita bread is complementary. We had sea bass and sea bream, portions were big and fish were done deliciously, served with salad. Dessert was baklava also delicious. Even with alcoholic drinks bill was so reasonable. Atmosphere (Thursday night) very nice and not so crowded, lovely background music. We enjoyed it all. Thank you

Had a great time at Agora. The food was great and the waitress was really nice and friendly. Making the reservation was easy and we has our table ready when we got there. We didn’t lose our table even though we were a few minutes late. We ordered the chicken kebab, mix grill and Mousakka. Each meal tasted great! We also had starters and desert and didn’t go above our budget for three people. Definitely recommend and will visit again.

Excellent food, service and ambience. We each had starter, main and dessert and definitely over indulged - but it was just so tasty. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a great eating experience. Spent 78 for 2 people for 3 courses, bread basket, and a bottle of wine, plus Turkish delight with our bill. Will definitely visit again.
