Review of The Agora Restaurant in Leeds

The Agora Restaurant in Leeds

There is something very special about going for a meal at The Agora restaurant in Leeds. The food is outstanding and is in fact some of the most authentic Greek and Turkish food available in Leeds. Culinary delicacies aside, it is also the warm, convivial atmosphere and friendly staff that make a visit to The Agora such a wonderful experience. Head chef and owner Ali, understands the importance of great food and a welcoming environment, and he gets the balance just right. The interior is simple, elegant and provides a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.

Only the freshest ingredients are used and Ali prides himself on offering customers a fantastic choice of dishes. In fact diners will be spoilt for choice as the menu lists a huge range of culinary delights. As you would expect there are many traditional starters such as Greek salad, dolmades, taramosalata and hummus. The mains are also extensive and include fish, chicken, beef, lamb and vegetarian options. Like many Greek restaurants in Leeds The Agora offers familiar dishes such as lamb souvlaki, beef stifado and spanakopita. There is also more unusual fayre like the chargrilled swordfish marinated in herbs and olive oil or the Agora speciality aubergine lamb, which is an aubergine ring stuffed with minced lamb, spiced and then chargrilled. Side dishes are also available and they do not disappoint. Perfect for sharing; homemade flat bread, black eye bean salad or briam are just a few of the dishes you can choose from to add a little something extra to your main meal.

Lunch deals are also available with a choice of limited items from the main a la carte menu. Every dish is bursting with the robust flavours of the Mediterranean and the complexity and depth of the spicing will leave your mouth tingling for more. Although not in Leeds city centre, The Agora is only a short drive away so if you are on the look out for outstanding restaurants in Leeds make sure you give it a try! A great children’s menu, offering a choice of 4 kid friendly meals complete with ice cream and soft drink, make The Agora a fun family oriented place.
