Mediterranean small plates, infectious laughter, and a vibrant patio
"Agora is one of those places that everyone has been to. If you haven't, put it on your list, because the Mediterranean food here is fantastic and it’s a fun place to be. The laughter and good times are infectious, and it’s a spot best enjoyed in a group, especially since it’s all small plates. Come for lunch or dinner, which is a calmer experience than the haphazard all-inclusive brunch. Expect it to be packed all the time, both inside and on the patio. The htipiti, a red pepper spread, is a star across all menus." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed, allison robicelli
"Agora is one of those places that everyone has been to, and if not, it’s on their list. That’s because the Mediterranean food (all halal) is consistently delicious making it one of those restaurants you keep returning to because you know it's gonna be good. The laughter and good times are infectious at the Dupont Circle spot, and it’s best enjoyed in a group, since it’s all small plates. Agora’s menu is full of showstoppers that you want to keep eating, like the htipiti, a red pepper spread so fresh and bright that it’ll bring a smile to your face before you take a bite." - omnia saed
"Agora should be one of the first restaurants that pops into your head when you’re thinking about group dinners in DC. From the second you arrive at the outdoor host stand, you’ll be surrounded by groups of people laughing and talking loudly on the patio. Friends young and old, families getting together—there’s a little bit of everyone enjoying the Mediterranean food at the Dupont Circle spot. You’ll be glad you chose to come with your college friend group instead of eating solo, especially when you can’t decide between the grilled chicken covered in za’atar and sumac and the sucuklu, a spicy Turkish sausage flatbread, because now you can share. Be forewarned: the patio is huge and packed year-round, so plan in advance. But given how long it usually takes for there to be a free date on everyone’s calendar, you should be alright." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed

"Agora’s D.C. location will reward mothers with a free cocktail, garnished with an orchid she can wear in her hair. “The District Bloom” is a mix of gin, cherry blossom, lavender, and Cocchi Americano liquor." - Tierney Plumb
