The Agora in Leeds

First time we’ve been and it definitely will not be the last time! The service of all staff is outstanding and everyone is very friendly. We were pleased with the vegetarian options and they were delicious! We tried the Mücver and Dolmades for starters, the Spanakopita and Chickpea & Spinach Delight for mains and the Baklava and Tiramisu for dessert with some Turkish Tea and everything was stunning! We can’t wait to come back and try some more dishes! Thank you!

Absolutely Fabulous. Brilliant food, fantastic staff, magnificent quality of food and beverages. Nothing is too much trouble for the team that run this wonderful establishment. I continue to be amazed, every time I’ve been it has always been a pleasure turning an evening meal into a special event.

Great place, super food. Highly recommend it.

Great welcome, all staff were very friendly and engaging. The food was really good and there is a car park at the rear. All in all. The meal there was far better than we've previously experienced at other restaurants.

Food, service, atmosphere. 10/10. It's a very classy restaurant and a pleasure to be able to talk without having to shout

We love this place! This time we went for my father in laws birthday celebration meal. The service and food were exceptional! We had the meat mezze and literally all of it was absolutely delicious. We will most definitely be going back very soon!

We dined early so it was quiet. The Agora had been recommended & it was all lovely.

To say I visited mid week I was surprised and happy that the place was quite busy. Food great and set price for 2 courses

Wonderful all round, my daughter and 2 of her friends booked here for my birthday present, food was amazing hot and very tasty (been to Greece over 30 times), great wine and the staff were absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for the free birthday dessert and the lovely rendition of the song lol, had a wonderful night, will definately return 😁😁

It would have been 5* all-round if it hadn't said in the menu "Ask for your favourite cocktail - we’ll see what we can do!" for them then to have said they can only do 4 very basic cocktails - we were looking forward to a nice White Russian. Food was great, service was very good, atmosphere was fine. But we were disappointed by the menu not doing what it said on the tin.

Amazing restaurant! Delicious food!

The food is so good at Agora we went out to celebrate our anniversary and they couldn’t do anymore to make us feel welcome. Back to the food all round fantastic and tasty the lamb was so tender and flavour you can actually taste the lamb beyond the sauce that it’s marinated and cooked in. The mussels and king prawns was so tasty and plentiful with bread. The atmosphere was great and very much ambient with the environment.

Fantastic food and especially seafood dishes. Great value with their early bird menu. Portions were great and the wine was also good value for money. Lovely staff, would highly recommend.

Fabulous food, friendly service. My first, but not last visit. Highly recommend

Booked for a wedding anniversary celebration for four people on a Sunday evening. Had a fantastic meal with attentive and friendly staff at hand. The sharing plates (mini-mezes) were just right to leave room for the mains - Stifado, Kleftiko and Vegetarian Moussakas, all served beautifully and accompanied by the Agiorgitiko wine (superb) and the Valdobbiadene Prosecco. We managed to squeeze in some lovely homemade Tiramisu afterwards and capped it off with Limoncello and Sambuca. For friendly staff and great food, this is the place to go. 10/10

I love Greek food and this is one of the best Greek meals I have had. Great menu, lots of choice. Friendly attentive service Parking available at the rear. Highly recommend as an alternative to Leeds city centre now it’s a nightmare for drivers.

I’ve dined at The Agora a few times now and it is the first place I recommend to anyone - the staff are some of the best I’ve met, they make a point to remember you, have a chat and make you feel so welcome. It’s a bit more of a sophisticated sit down dinner experience, so I wouldn’t bring children under 12 at the least. The food is divine, it feels so authentic (my father says their lamb is the closest you’ll get to proper Greek lamb) and I reckon no matter what dish you order, you won’t feel like you’ve missed out on something better. I’m gluten free and the menu does not leave anything lacking. I always order a bottle of their Palacio De Otoño Rioja (crianza 2019), or they’ve got a lovely Cab Sav - highly recommend both but the former is my favourite. My last meal for 2 was £85 in total - a three course meal with a bottle of wine but we always leave a well deserved tip

Always a warm welcome here. Food and service just great. Between us we enjoyed spicy sausages, garlic mushrooms in a wonderful sauce followed by spicy liver and salmon with prawns. Nice glass of Primitivo and a Raki complimented an excellent dinner followed by a strong Turkish coffee. Of course we will be back!

A lovely restaurant, with attentive friendly staff and a diverse choice on the menu. Haven't had a single disappointing dish over a few visits.

Came in very late near closing. A quick meal but an amazing meal. Well presented and great tasting. Nice atmosphere and staff also!

We visited as 2 people on a Sunday evening. Parking behind the Agora available with immediate access to the restaurant and outside dining area. We were treated immediately by very friendly staff and were brought to our table. It was not very busy so we could really enjoy the atmosphere. The food was absolutely great and was served not too long after we ordered. There was pretty much nothing to criticise and if you look for high quality Greek/Turkish food then this is certainly the place to go to in Leeds area. We had starters and a main course not knowing that this combination even reduces the price and all in all the prices are really moderate and definitely worth it.

Fantastic service at Agora by manager and staff. Very good food.

We booked The Agora as surprise meal for my Mums 80th with friends and family arriving before us. From the moment we arrived my Mum was looked after, made to feel special and spoilt by all the staff. We opted for shared Meze platter starters which were delicious, plentiful, varied and allowed us try different dishes. We all had different dishes for mains, as a vegetarian I chose spanakopita which was delicious and served with beautifully cooked rice. Everyone else loved theirs too and my 7 year old niece particularly enjoyed her child size portion of meat balls and cleared her plate! The food is lovely but we overwhelmed with the level of service from all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble including taking photos of our little party and bringing out my Mums birthday cake and singing her Happy Birthday. It meant a great deal to us and made for a very special evening. Thank you!

Top stars all round. Very friendly atmosphere. Great selection including some great vegetarian options. Great quality.

Delicious food in a beautiful restaurant served by lovely people. Thank you once again for a superb dining experience.

Great staff, lovely food. 2 courses for £22 all day Sunday

If I could give 6 stars for service I would

A local favourite. The food is always very good and excellent service with a smile Spicy liver is one of my favourite starters and this time I had a chicken kebab from the grill, but I’ve never been disappointed with any of the food here. Even had chance to fit in a portion of tiramisu this time Will always remain a firm favourite locally

A lovely place, excellent food and service. It really is well worth a visit.

30th Birthday meal,very warm welcome all staff very friendly and helpful.Food was fantastic.Parking on the street outside and around the back of restaurant.

Good atmosphere and service, souvlaki portions small, overall a bit pricey

Fabulous staff firstly, really fantastic, welcoming and funny. Food brilliant.

Great food, excellent service and very reasonably priced. Definitely be going back.

Really decent food , nice atmosphere and friendly owners that make you feel welcomed and sad to leave! Will definitely be back!

Great food, really friendly staff and service was really good.

Not necessarily Greek - mint does not belong in tzatziki, the moussaka tasted more Turkish (cumin etc) than cinnamon, had melted cheese on top too like lasagne. Flavours still very nice and staff great. Just not authentic Greek.

What an incredible resturant! The food was amazing, homemade and felt authentic. Large portions of the menu were gluten free and I felt safe eating there with my dietary needs. The staff were so friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. We will be back!

Great food and service highly recommended :)

I've been here a couple times now. Once for my daughter's birthday and again for dinner with a couple friends. The owner is a lovely man from Rhodes. The food was very good, wholesome and authentic and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be returning soon.

Genuinely one of the best dining experiences I've had. The food was incredible, you get a lot for your money and every bite was to die for. The service was exceptional- the staff were lovely and always made sure our glasses were full and that everything was OK. I also highly reccomend the dessert special- the orange and chocolate cake is both the prettiest and yummiest I've had in a long time. Can't wait to go again with my partner 🥰🥰

Had a wonderful family meal and the staff was so helpful at catering for such a large group, food was got and tasty and the desserts finished off our lovely meal

Great night out. Classy decor, interesting menu, friendly service meant we all enjoyed our evening

I visited this place with family and found the food and atmosphere very agreeable. The waiters were friendly, funny and efficient, the food very good and prices reasonable. I started with whitebait, because I don't get to eat them often enough and went on to enjoy a tomato-based stew of chicken and smoked sausage whose name escapes me now. Around the table, we more or less covered the entire menu. It went pretty quiet for a while, so I'd say folk were happy. I'd describe the food as homey rather than refined, but refinement is not my first priority. The portions were generous, the flavours good. What else do you expect? Personally, I'd have bunged a few black olives in the stew, but that may well be tantamount to treason in Anatolia. What do I know? For extra details, there is parking at the rear, two of our party are vegetarian and felt well served, but I would phone ahead before arriving with a wheelchair because it was pretty packed when we were there. All in all, a good place to enjoy a cheerful meal with friends and still have change for the ride home.

Food and service is amazing. I would highly recommend it to anyone. The restaurant was really busy but the service was still very good, we did not have to wait long to be served. The staff is super friendly too!

All round great restaurant with lovely food and brilliant service. Reasonably priced fir the quality too.

Lovely meal and great service - this place never disappoints. Something on the menu for everyone and the portions are generous. Can’t wait to return again soon (thank you for the mints 😁)

All staff very warming and friendly service very gd ,plus our favourite head waiter back to doing his job he does best hospitality second to none 😊😁

Fabulous Family meal and was made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious and very well cooked. The staff were attentive and very friendly. We would definitely return great value, warm, friendly and a really nice afternoon thank you x

Excellent service and delicious food. Not been for a while but won't leave it as long before next visit.

£120 bill for glorified kebab shop food in what felt like a house lounge.

This is a lovely restaurant which offers a consistently high standard of food along with great service. We have been here many times and never been disappointed - from the warm & friendly welcome to the excellent choice of high quality food. It offers great value for money. Well worth a visit and highly recommended.

This is a warm, welcoming and friendly restaurant. It offers real consistency in terms of high quality service and food. There is a god choice of starter and main courses; always delivered to a high standard. We have been here many times and never been disappointed. It offers value for money, when many restaurants are becoming unaffordable. We highly recommend this local restaurant.

When there with hubby and friend, we loved the food, so good. And the service was as amazing too. Forgot to take the picture of my hubby and friend’s food. Definitely recommend it.

Went for a birthday celebration with the family. Lovely venue, friendly and helpful staff and excellent food. Portions were a little small but the quality was very good. We will definitely return!

After previous visit to this restaurant we were looking forward to dining again for a special birthday meal What a dissapointing evening OK it was busy but has been before with no problems Waited 20 mins before even asked for a drinks order then even longer to take our order 30 mins for starters to arrive Then unbelievable 1.30 hours after for mains to arrive absolute disaster When food arrived looked like it just been thrown onto plates and very tasteless Apologies given chef on holiday new girl getting orders wrong till not working properly Absolute rubbish people who came in well after us being served Unfortunately after nice meals here would really have to think about going back 2hrs waiting for food ridiculous

The food is delicious. We had the meze for two including starters and mains, you just can't go wrong with the assortment . The flavours are just perfect. The service was amazing. The waiters were attentive, friendly and very accommodating.The restaurant is clean and modern with an inviting atmosphere.

I would recommend it to anyone great place

Lovely food, lovely staff, good prices. We will be back.

Would highly recommend this restaurant. Every time I have been there. There has never been anything wrong with the food. The staff are polite and the food is great value.

Called early evening with partner. The restaurant had approximately 8 other guests. The server was helpful and explained the deals and offers available as well as answering questions. Food was excellent and beyond our expectations.

Lamb moussaka was next level...as was the tiramisu!

Enjoyed the starter of spicy liver and main course of moussaka very much. No atmosphere away from our table of diners, but it was lunchtime and no-one else was in apart from us. Shame, as it's a good venue for a lunchtime meal.

As is usual for this time of year – time for our annual visit to the Agora on Christmas Eve to enjoy the wonderful fayre this restaurant has to offer. Warmly welcomed on a cold blustery evening and arriving somewhat windswept, we were shown through to our table which was very nicely positioned in the window next to a lovely warm radiator! As is the norm, we ordered a bottle of Cankaya to be followed by starters of Prawn cocktail and Lamb Keftedes. Mains of choice on this occasion were the seabass feta and Adana. Starters suitably delivered they were well presented and nice and hot. My keftedes were smothered in rich tomato sauce were very tasty. Sue’s prawn cocktail was also very good, lots of plump prawns with flavoursome Marie Rose sauce. The bread that was supplied separately was used to good effect to mop up the excess sauce with all dishes left spotless before being returned to the kitchen. A short while later the mains were delivered. The seabass was very good, two fillets stuffed with feta accompanied with potatoes and vegetables. My Adana was also lovely, nice flavoursome kebab on a bed of rice and small side salad. As always both dishes were enjoyed very much with plates left devoid of all that went before. Another very nice meal at The Agora, really lovely friendly hosts with whom we enjoyed chatting very much supported by tasty well presented food that provides a real taste of the Mediterranean.

Great Food, Friendly Staff, Love This Place 🫶

Great food! As good as anything I've had in Greece!

We had a delicious takeaway Middle Eastern feast for five a couple of weeks - the full range of fresh-flavoured and vibrant hot and cold mezze dishes, enjoyed by toddlers, parent and grandparents alike! Just enough left for a fine set of lunchtime nibbles the next day….. Really friendly place, easy to order, full range of dishes on offer (all our favourites, and Middle Eastern food is probably our absolute favourite cuisine), and food all available promptly to collect. We’ll definitely come back here again - perhaps a bit messy still to eat in with the littlest one, but more takeaways for sure. Thank you, guys, and see you again!

Great place to eat. A fantastic choice of starters, spicy liver is a winner 😁. The main dishes are excellent and the staff are very attentive and polite. Good choice of beers, very reasonably priced. Well worth a visit 👍

Not only I was disappointed, but I also got stomach issues when I got home, practically I spent the night and the following day in the bathroom. I had babaganush, which was very tasty, but the portion was very small and served with ordinary bread instead of pitta. The main was terrible: six cubes of grilled chicken on top of boiled rice. I think the culprit was the chicken, as it wasn't properly cooked. The prices are very high compared to the amount of food you get. This restaurant won't see me again!

Lovely food, Amazing prices as well as a really good deal Drinks were great Service was fun warm and friendly

Long wait for food. Can of pop over priced. Female members of staff just stood around tables watching made us a bit uneasy

Relaxed and homely with delicious food... We will be back... Soon

Our go to restaurant for all occasions, we couldn’t recommend the Agora more highly! Incredible food, lovely staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

We tried the Agora on a recommendation from friends - and what a superb choice it turned out to be! From the friendly welcome on arrival to the service throughout our meal to the warm farewells, everything was first rate! And then there was the food - oh, the food! Beautifully cooked, presented and served, it really was beyond delicious: I hope they always keep the Fruity Lamb on the menu! Our excellent bottle of Montepulciano also complemented all our meals delightfully. Sadly, two generous courses had left us with no room for desserts, but those I saw being prepared looked mouthwatering. As a finishing touch, my Turkish coffee was served beautifully in delicate silverware: a feast for all the senses! I cannot recommend this restaurant too highly.

Saw some excellent reviews for here so gave it a try for my birthday meal out Great choice lovely modern place Fairly busy for a Monday Drinks sorted then two calamari and a haloumi for starters very tasty Onto mains two chicken souvlaki and a kleftiko for mains all very good but the kleftiko was amazing After a short rest we went fir dessert two tirramisu which were I am assured were superb and a vanilla cheesecake also excellent Service was good and no rush which we liked All in all a great birthday meal out excellent value as well and will give it another try soon

Really nice food. Very attentive staff. Very reasonably priced too 😁

Brilliant night, the food was fantastic and so welcoming from the minute we got there to when we left perfect night will go again

There is a well deserved pride in the food produced here. So delicious and right for those special occasions and special people

Super friendly staff and AMAZING food! Haven’t been to a restaurant this great in a long time, had the mixed mezze to start and the filo pastry for mains. Recommend both but especially the mezze! Great value for money and you get a mixture of starters, all delicious. We will 100% be back! Thank you

Nice looking food but lacked seasoning. No salt or pepper on our table.

We went as a party of eight. Had the special offer 2 courses £18.95. My food was great. Spicy sausage starter and asana for mains. My dishes and everyone else's were very well plated up and looked not only delicious but smelled delicious as well. Pleasant and efficient service with some lovely Greek music playing in the background. A nice atmosphere,busy, but not overly so. A lucky find due to complicated circumstances. Glad we discovered the place and will definitely be back. If only for the cleftico the a couple of the others had,which looked superb.

We have been here a lot of times over the years and I thought it about time to review it. The food here is consistently good and of a high quality. The service is always good. Staff are warm & welcoming. It is good value for money. We do repeat visit because everything is reliable here.

Great food. Lovely atmosphere too.

Food is very delicious, the restaurant is very clean and elegant and oustanding service.

A group of us had a meal here. We all had different meals, and we all enjoyed them. Service was good. Staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was pleasant, background music, you can talk over and be heard.

Service and food all excellent really enjoys everything.

Good local restaurant, always enjoyable place, service excellent and efficient. Food good . All the lamb dishes particularly good.

What a.lovely dinner , food hot and good service ! So hard to find these days !

This place is amazing service was fantastic atmosphere was great food was delicious I’m looking forward to going again 100% went with family 14 of us in the evening after my mum funeral so we could spend more time with the family who came far and wide ☺️ thank u agora done yourself proud 👏

Really nice staff, nice food. Outdoor seating for when it's hot inside. A pleasant experience to be recommended.

The best Turkish restaurant inHorsphorth

Always fabulous food and service

Always excellent food and service

We came for our daughters 18th, and mum & dads wedding anniversary. Family of 11. Extremely warm welcome, service was great and very accommodating. The food was from the 2 courses for £19, all beautiful as always. Food and service is consistent, lovely way to celebrate our day, thank you. Highly recommended

Last minute decision to book a Bank Holiday Monday dinner out, very please we got a table as was busy. Chilled relaxed atmosphere, cool and comfy. Attentive staff, with friendly approach. Great wide menu, which was 2 courses for £18.95, even though a bank Holiday. Delicious food, starters grilled halloumi and whitebait which we shared. Sea bream with feta and spinach, with potatoes and rice - really tasty and a large portion. Hubby had lamb stew with rice, also enjoyed it. Enjoyable evening, will be back!

A absolute stupendous confectionery x

Romantic night with my wife - loved every minute of it! Excellent food; we had the meze and it was more than we could eat, but delicious throughout!

Love this place, the food, the welcoming staff, the drinks - beer for him Cankaya wine for me, mmmmmm. The atmosphere here is always happy, whether 2 in or 20 and the prices charged are just right. We just wish it was closer th home ❤️

We discovered this gorgeous restaurant a few months ago, and what an amazing find it turned out to be! Firstly we were welcomed by the most loveliest owners, this restaurant is so warm and welcoming. We have now been 3 times and the food just gets better and better. The service is spot on too. Cannot praise this lovely restaurant enough. 5 star all the way! Just booked our 4th visit for hubby's birthday. If you want authentic owners and amazing food then i would highly recommend.

My wife and I went here tonight and all I can say is the food was lovely. We often drive past this place and wondered when we’d get the chance to pop in, it’s on a busy road but does have its own car park at the rear. We went at 5.30 and were the first guests in I believe. It’s was naturally quiet due to the time but soon started getting more people coming in. My wife and I had the specials £18.99 for 2 courses, you can pay an extra £3 supplement for certain dishes as we did but I can safely say is definitely worth it. We had the Halloumi and Mücver for starters and for mains the Moussaka and Salmon with King Prawns Will definitely be back here again. Great food, service was good and atmosphere perfect for a quiet dinner. Thanks folks

An excellent meal , very friendly people , will not hesitate to return.
