Owner, Lou Moshakos, is a native of Lykovrisi, a small village in Greece outside of Sparta. His love for connecting over good food inspired him to create this homely, family-centered restaurant that reflected its name.
This open-air Mediterranean Oasis overlooks Hillsborough St and is a tastefully designed, tree-shaded space with lush green vines wrapped around trellises, classic Greek Statues, and olive trees.
We love starting with the Greek Spreads Trio: a sample of Taverna Agora’s best dips: tzatziki, spicy feta, and eggplant. Served with pita or vegetables for the gluten free version.
The dinner and lunch menus vary slightly, and we have not experienced dinner at Taverna Agora yet. My lunch favorite is the grilled octopus and moussaka. Craig loves the lamb burger, and the chicken kabobs are the most popular dish on the menu.
Craig loved his Gyros Benedict, and my lamb sweet potato was one to remember. Also the Baked Eggs and Pita (shakshuka style) is good.
