We visited Agora DC during DC Restaurant Week to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and overall, it was a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was well-prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The menu offered a nice variety of Mediterranean flavors, and everything we tried was satisfying. We chose to sit on the patio, which seemed like a nice setting at first but ended up being a bit too cold for a truly comfortable dinner. While the ambiance was pleasant, some added heating options would have made the experience much better. Despite the chilly patio, the service was attentive and friendly, making the evening enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend Agora DC for its fantastic food, and I’d love to return—just indoors next time!

Awesome place! I’ve lived in DC for a few years and love coming back to Agora. The dips, mains and desserts are always well made and the portions are amazing. My friends and I got the table side flamed cheese and it was a showstopper. Don’t skip the desserts!

It was the first warm day in the city so it was busy busy. My friends got a reservation which was definitely needed on a Saturday night. We sat in the outside area which was nice because they also had fans on to keep it cool. We got an array of shared mezze plates (see photos). Everything came out quickly and it was delicious. The grape leaves were my favorite. Definitely recommend for anyone who is a fan of Mediterranean food!

It’s my first time here in DC and I think I’ve made the right choice to visit this restaurant. Every dishes are really good and flavorful. The service is also exceptional. The price is very reasonable for the quality and I think I’ll go back to try other dishes for sure if I have to go to DC again.
