Reviews for Taverna Agora Greek Kitchen & Bar in Raleigh, NC

Excellent atmosphere for dinner on the patio. Great Indian summer weather. Staff friendly, even short staffed, they were... attentive. We had a 25 minute wait for a table, but never felt slighted once seated. Several large parties. This was our firstvisit. Food was amazing. My new favorite for Greek food! Plan to get here on a Friday for live music and dancing. Read more

Great food and fair prices. The spicy feta appetizer was amazing, although there was more pita bread than feta (our only... complaint. The Lamb shank flaked off at the touch of a fork and wad great flavor. We were seated upstairs towards the back andwe noticed it seemed to get hotter I to the evening, and that it was much cooler with a breeze on the street-side of theupstairs. Read more

Excellent experience! Food is top notch. My husband is Greek and was in love with the meal. The decor is refreshing and yet... still adheres to the theme of Greek cuisine. The fried cheese is sweeter than traditional but still delicious. The dolmadeswere fresh and handmade. The lamb shank was everything you could want out of a lamb meal. The potatoes and steamed zucchini werea refreshingly citrus complement to the meat. Try the Greek wines too, they are delightfully complex. Recommended for locals andtravelers alike. Read more

Rough start. The kitchen was backed up. We waited a half hour after our reservation time to be seated. Staff were stressed... and didn't feel welcoming. That being said, things got much better once we were finally seated, and the food was trulydelicious! :) Read more

This is an excellent place for a relaxed family meal.. The ambience and the decor screams old-school Greek. And the food hits... the spot! No compromise on the flavors! There's a vast selection of Greek winds and cocktails ???? but we decided to play itsafe with our pick... The wait staff are extremely friendly and always willing to go above and beyond. The restaurant is packed on the most occasions so make reservations! Good selection of vegetarian starters. Just one vegetarian entrée which my friendenjoyed. Overall I would definitely go back in a heartbeat! Read more

Atmosphere was perfect up stairs on the roof top part of restaurant, drinks were really good and fresh.. Seasoning was really... great on calamari, however, it was definitely overcooked! In there defense we were there on a Saturday night at 10pm. Could havebeen reheated food, but definitely couldn't chew it. Dessert was good. Read more

My wife and I just love this place and highly recommend. We stop here for lunch, dinner, or just a drink and snack whenever in... the Raleigh area. The number one reason is the authenticity of the food and preparation. The menu is not huge but what is onthere is fresh and delicious. We have never had a bad meal. Number two is the professional manner that the restaurant isstaffed and ran. It is clean, organized, and the staff is incredible. Friendly, prompt, and accommodating. The number threereason this place is so high on our list is the atmosphere and ambiance. It is authentic, vibrant and alive without elaborationor pretention. Great spot!! Read more
