We tried the stuffed eggplant (Imam Bayildi), lentil soup, the hummus platter and the thyme-seasoned French fries. All of the food was tasty and nicely seasoned.
Servers were polite and attentive. The dining room was nicely decorated, modern. Items that can be made vegan were marked on the menu.
That said, a couple of nits: The meal was quite pricey, about $25 per person for lunch (not counting any beverages). Servings were rather small. We were also disappointed to find there was no vegan/veganizable bread we could have (and the pita is made with milk).

Excellent food and ambience. The lentil soup was comfort in a bowl. The corner with lights hanging make is a dreamy little escape to a mediterranean market. The woven bamboo booths let us be hatchlings being fed in a nest.
Also, convient parking.

We ordered the spread platter which had a good variety of spreads that went well with the fresh pita bread. Also had kebabs and wraps. The kebab came with just a skewer of meat which seemed a bit barren. Most everything was in the mid to upper 20's.

Lovely Turkish / Mediterranean restaurant. The food was truly awesome, we shared appetizers, I got the scallops with saffron, my husband the beef kebab , then the pistachios soufflé and the orange rice pudding. All dishes were refined, well presented in plates made in Turkey, awesome new tastes, just be daring , you will be rewarded.

I am most definitely a new fan of Agora.
The food here is flavored well and gives a unique experience. The service exceeded our expectations. Not only was our waitress attentive, she also provided excellent recommendations. Then the price is affordable.
As it pertains to the venue itself, the decor was super cute giving a chic ambiance.
Whenever I am craving delicious Mediterranean food, it is nice to know that I know exactly where to go.... Agora.

This Turkish restaurant, located on the ground level of the Nouvelle apartment in Tysons, offers an exceptional dining experience with authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The vibrant and tastefully decorated space, adorned with Turkish lanterns, sets the perfect ambiance.
During our visit for restaurant week brunch, every dish we tried was crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, showcasing remarkable value for the generous portions. We enjoyed a delightful assortment, including mezzes with hummus and yogurt dips, egg Benedict, omelets, shareable small plates, and delicious desserts. The attentive service further enhanced our experience. While the mocktails leaned towards the sweeter side, they certainly didn’t diminish our enjoyment of this fantastic restaurant.

I went shopping at Tysons Galleria and went to Agora for dinner. I ordered my favorite scallops, octopus, and lamb chop steak, and it tasted better than any other restaurant!!
The interior is pretty and the atmosphere is good. The lamp lighting on the ceiling is also beautiful. But the table spacing is not wide, so it's a little noisy to talk quietly (there are a lot of customers after 5 o'clock)
From the female staff at the entrance to the table server, everyone was kind, and the food was really! It's very delicious, and the atmosphere is good! I will visit again. At that time, I will eat wine and this delicious rap chap again.
Service, vibes and food was so good! Ozka and the whole hospitality team is absolutely amazing—best service we’ve had in a long time!

This was my second time having the pleasure of dining at Agora. If I could leave 10 stars I would! 🌟This experience was even better than the last! I came with my family to celebrate my little brothers’ birthdays. Cagri was incredibly kind and very attentive! I have a nut allergy and he was very on top of letting us know what items that were brought to the table had nuts in it so that I wouldn’t eat it! He also offered to make our second order of rice without nuts so that I could have some too! I am so grateful for his service! Thank you so much! 💕 I can’t wait to come back! ☺️

My wife and I are regulars here. The food and service is always excellent. On this particular visit we bought our children with us to celebrate their 17th and 29th birthdays. Cagri who was our waiter went above and beyond to make their birthday special. Beyond the birthday celebration his attitude, attentiveness, and enthusiasm was such a delight and it truly made our dining experience special. The entire staff here at Agora are excellent, we have never had a negative experience. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you want some amazing food and excellent service this is the place to visit.

Cagri did an amazing job serving us. He was truly very welcoming and an attentive waiter. Wonderful attention to detail. Paid attention to allergies and made me and my brother’s birthday unforgettable! It was me and my brothers first time here, my mom and dad come here often but we now love it just as much as they do and can’t wait to come back.
Thank you Agora, thank you Cagri!! -Gabriel

Came to Agora with my sister and our families while she was visiting. Served was great as well as the food and atmosphere. Very modern and well decorated restaurant. The dishes we got were delicious including the spread sampler, sis kebab, and the traditional sweet cheese dessert, Kunefe.
