dawn.in.newyorkAugust 5, 2016Baba Ghanoush (Eggplant dip) and chicken shish kebab were so delicious! Grilled octopus salad was satisfactory. Food delivered fast and properly. I'll definitely visit and dine in here next time.
Merve G.April 5, 2019Agora is definitely the best Turkish restaurant in the neighborhood. We tried the mixed grill and it was more than enough for 3 people. Portions are big and food is delicious!
Everything is great on the menu. Mix grill is nice option to try everything from the menu. But especially kofte (meatballs) is great. You can bring your own wine. Best Turkish kitchen in UES! ❤️❤️❤️
Joan ParkFebruary 28, 2015the chewy crunchy warm complimentary bread is the best plain bread ive tasted in my life. love the authentic turkish food & decor. dont forget an order of the creamiest hummus ever!
Deandra TanJune 19, 2014I have yet to find something I don't like. Favorites are the hummus and fresh-baked bread, the zucchini pancake, and Grandma's Ravioli.
Andrew CJune 20, 2018Gyro platter was absolutely mouthwatering, best option!!! Ordered the grilled meat platter to share, plus the appetizer dips... no pita but oven-fresh breads!! Staff seemed overwhelmed tho, quite slow
Anastasia BezverkhaNovember 12, 2014I love their shepherd's salad, always well seasoned, and the falafel appetizer. I usually order delivery.
Consistently great food throughout the years. We hosted parties here and came for lunch specials and dinners. Amazing food, family owned.- Sandesh TAugust 6, 2013I've never has Turkish food this food in the city! Definitely going back soon. Can't go wrong with the chicken or the lamb shish kebab. Bread is awesome too!
Guha ArunkumarJune 3, 2018The food was good. The zucchini pancakes are definitely worth it. The one thing I didn't enjoy was the service. It was rushed, aggressive, and not enjoyable.
HeatherMay 22, 2018The rice is super buttery and delicious! The bread for the table is soft and warm. Portions are large and affordable
Mariana PantalenaMarch 15, 2016Amazing lamb ravioli with yogurt sauce!from appetizers to dessert everything was great.
Jean SPMarch 11, 2013Fantastic food, great prices. Get the Chef's babek. Bring a bottle if wine, no corking fee. Total gem!
Hummus, falafel, zucchini pancakes, any chicken dish, shepherd salad. 😍
Leah KovachAugust 24, 2013Order the mixed appetizer plate to share! Best Turkish food I've had in the city.
NickMay 18, 2015Skip sub-par sushi and BYOB to this place instead. Order zucchini pancakes and yogurt lamb.
Azin MMarch 30, 2016The worst place ever took half an hour to bring the glass of water and then the waiters fell down the glass of water on me on purpose cause I just said y it took such along time !!????
