From beginning to end, my wife and I were wowed! We came on a mini trip from Florida and started looking up places on TikTok. That’s where I found Ela. It looked amazing, so we thought, “Why not?” Nick was our server, and he was absolutely AMAZING. As first-timers, we trusted his recommendations, and he did not steer us wrong at all! From the Moroccan Hot Chicken to the cauliflower falafel and mussels, ending the night with the black pepper lamb, and topping it off with the GREEK FRO-YO—it was a night filled with incredible flavors and vibes. Those who live nearby are so lucky! This visit made us excited to return to Atlanta and bring our family and friends to Ela. Another huge shoutout to Nick—he knows everything there is to know and answered all our questions. The FOH staff overall was fantastic!

First time and it was great! Our server was very attentive and did a great job of explaining the menu and answering any questions we had. Was it pushy and gave us just the right amount of time between entrées. Fun, lively atmosphere.

I love everything about Agora - the food is creative and makes me want to travel. The drinks are a play on the classics and new inventions. The service is always attentive and doesn’t turn up their nose when guests express their allergies and ask for advice on dishes. It’s such a warm vibe with eclectic guests from around the world and around the city. I only wish they were open til midnight but I understand good cooks and servers deserve a break if they’re going to keep up their energy and deliver delightful experiences. Thanks Agora team!
