Cafe Agora

This eatery brings real Mediterranean flavors to Buckhead with its Greek and Turkish dishes like the tender lamb or chicken Adana kebab.

If the lines out the door are anything to go by, Café Agora is undoubtedly one of Atlanta's more popular restaurants. The ocean-inspired decor features white walls decorated with Mediterranean frescoes and famous landmarks, cozy sofas upholstered in cerulean blue, and a vibrant outdoor patio. Share plates of dolma, which are delicate vine leaves stuffed with rice, pine nuts, parsley and mint, and fragrant plates of tabouli. For something more substantial, the kofte kebab and chicken gyro are excellent options. Save room for dessert as this is one of the few places you'll find Lady Fingers or the traditional Turkish rice pudding in the area.
