Taverna Agora is located in a free-standing building on Glenwood Avenue in north Raleigh across from the Pleasant Valley shopping center.
The New Yorker – Great Greek meal. Very fresh. Great spinach pie. Salad was excellent. Fresh traditional Greek salad without lettuce. Salad included fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, feta etc. Warm bread with great lemon/olive oil dip. Lamb shank was ridiculous– so tender, fell right off the bone. The restaurant was not as I expected. I thought it was going to be more like what I’m used too. Such as Gyro / Gyro on top of greek salad with yogurt sauce. All in all, I was pleasantly suprised.
The Raleigh-ite – Great atmosphere, especially outside. They have a wonderful porch with white lights, lots of flowers and a fountain (you can kind of see Glenwood Ave from the porch, but I tried to block it out) . The salad and spinach pie appetizer were great, but I didn’t love the chicken with orzo. It had lots of tomatoes, and lots of orzo, a small amount of chicken and it tasted too much like spaghetti for me to enjoy it. The lemon/olive oil bread dip was phenomenal. I will definitely be back though for the lovely porch and terrific salad.
