Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Incredible little place. The food portions were perfect and the service was spot on - not too much or too little, they could really read each table to determine how much attention diners needed. We had starters and mains and not a single negative comment...could be found, the food was tasty, not overly seasoned (which is good), it was brought out by a happy member of the serving team at a temperature where you could tell it was fresh from the kitchen and not from being sat under a hot plate. The wine list was great too. All in brilliant - cannot wait to go back.More

An absolutely great Greek restaurant. Brilliant food and attentive/friendly service pitched just right to make it an even better meal than the food alone would have made it. Really decent prices with loads of variety on the menu. Well decorated inside and out. Spotlessly clean...inside. This place really does put some effort in to give you the best eating experience that they could manage.More

The restaurants atmosphere was amazing and the owners daughter Berfin was ever so welcoming and such a great host. The service was impeccable, the food came so quick and very fresh. The food was delicious. As a fellow turkish person i enjoyed it so much...as i believe its hard to come across good turkish food in UK! Overall 10/10 service, to top it off during a conversation i briefly mentioned that we were in the restaurant celebrating my birthday and they went above and beyond by bringing out a surprise slice of cake for me. Thank you againMore

A wonderful restaurant with great service, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. I love it that you can watch your food being cooked in a traditional manner by just one cook who is incredibly skilled at what he does. The food was delicious and plentiful...and great value for money. The service was superb and I was made to feel very welcome. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent food at a good price in a great setting.More

Every time I pass by Agora, the place is jam-packed, and no wonder: The food is lush. I went there for my birthday, and it was one of the best meals I had all year. It's colourful and warm inside, and staff are inviting and...amiable - just a lovely dining experience.More
