As usual, Taverna Agora delighted us for my husband's birthday celebration. The service was charming. The food delicious. We love the atmosphere here as well as the authentic food. The saganaki (flaming cheese) if a fun favorite of ours. OPA!!!!

Wonderful, authentic Greek food prepared using only the freshest ingredients, served up in a warm and friendly atmosphere at a reasonable price. This is hands-down one of Raleigh's best restaurants.

This is the second time eating here...the food is fresh and authentic. The atmosphere was unhurried and the service was very attentive. We started with the calamari, grilled octopus and greek village salad. Awesome! Homemade bread with their very own lemony olive oil dip was also served...my daughter loves this complimentary app. She had the greek cheese pasta, while my... More

The parking lot nearly through me off because what looks like the front is actually the side. For a minute I thought the place was closed. Once I found the door, I was pleasantly suprised by the welcome and the service. One of the specials was a gyro platter with meat, veggies, taziki sauce and pita wedges, which I ordered... More

I read Yelp reviews when I first moved to Raleigh on the best restaurants in the area and this one popped up. People said its the best local place to take guests. When my husband came we decided to try it out. Best decision ever! The food, service and ambience was all fantastic! It's the perfect date night in a... More

Great food, wonderful service and the patio is excellent. We love to meet friends here, or take out of town guest. My book club even meets here for a night out, great place.

It has been awhile since our last visit just because of the economy. The food was wonderful and served at proper temperature (one of my big grips). The lemon potatoes were to dream about. The veal was that of which one dreams. Hats off the staff and kitchen!! Our visit still remains prominate in my mind and we will return... More

Authentic Greek food and cute ambience. Great little patio area. Service was excellent. I had the lemon chicken and the saganaki (flaming cheese appetizer). Both excellent.

When visiting family in Raleigh, we often eat here, and the food is terrific. I had a braised veal shank last time, and the meat fell off the bone, melted in my mouth, and was delicious. Other family members consistently order their salmon dish, and rave about it. Everythingnisnplentiful and reasonably priced. My "less than five" rating is simply because... More

We sat outside under the canopy of green vines and at first had it almost all to ourselves, but soon enough other parties came out as well. Sure wish I could have a canopy like that at home. Anyway, I ordered the Chicken Fetticini and my friend ordered the Rack of Lamb, which looked delicious! Even thought I had not... More
