Agora Dc Mediterranean Restaurant
Agora DC serves Turkish small plates and cocktails at 1527 17th St NW, a short walk from Dupont Circle. Google describes a low-lit, brick-walled dining room plus a patio, and the restaurant has a 4.7-star Google rating across 4,731 reviews. Google also lists it as an event venue.
The dips and spreads come up again and again in reviews, along with the warm complimentary pita-style bread. Other dishes reviewers single out include lahmacun, lamb kebab, fried cauliflower, dolmades, chicken and a pistachio souffle. Weekend brunch is a popular occasion, with mentions of mimosas. Most reviews praise attentive servers who help with ordering, though one diner who visited twice found the food good but the service noticeably weaker, and noted portions run medium to small.
Lunch is served 12–2 PM Tuesday through Friday, dinner from 4:30 PM on weekdays, and brunch 11 AM–4 PM on weekends before a 5:30 PM dinner seating. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, restroom and seating.
