OWNERS

Owned and operated by Betul and Ismail Uslu, Agora D.C. and Agora Tysons are family-run establishments where attention to detail and warm hospitality are our top priorities. Ismail's dedication to improving every aspect of Agora led him to become the sole owner of Agora D.C. in 2008. Meanwhile, Betul, who left her banking career in 2016, focuses on private events, adding a personal touch to your special occasions. Today, Agora operates three acclaimed locations — Agora DC in Dupont Circle, Agora Tysons in Tysons Corner, and the newly opened Agora Bethesda — each celebrated as a premier Mediterranean dining destination in the DMV region.
