Troy ATX

One of my new favorites. Immediately fell in love. The food was amazing: Turkish hummus is divine, and make sure you get the Iskender Kebab! The owner's son was helping out with the family business that day and was kind and generous and refused to let us have a bad experience (it wasn't hard given how good the food is!)

Orhan and his father have a hidden gem right in the middle of Austin. It was my first time having Turkish food and I highly recommend its. The hospitality was off the charts. The food was absolutely amazing and the origin stories of the dishes were fascinating. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

Finally, Turkish (Mediterranean) foods done traditionally; nothing over seasoned & everything fresh. The cook allows the food to speak for itself. Sincerely, we could have eaten at a dozen different places around Austin, but Han makes you feel appreciated and welcomed - like family. Nothing is rushed - it's such an enjoyable place to eat for those who appreciate dining. We'll continue to make this our spot for years to come!

If possible, I would give this place a 14 star rating. From the time you walk into this lovely restaurant until the time you leave, and the best waiter in the world; Orhan gives you Turkish candy on your way out, one is delighted with not only incredible food but a true cultural experience. Turkish food, real Turkish food is hard to come by in this central Texas region and they are making some of the best examples of this cuisine with focus and love. I HIGHLY recommend the mezze plate and the kebap skewers, but I’ve never had anything I’ve even remotely didn’t like from this restaurant. Typically, I focus on the food taste of a restaurant in my reviews, but I would be remiss if I didn’t again give a shout out to the staff, who truly make you feel welcomed and valued as a diner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

orhan was very hospitable when i brought my mom for lunch here. this is my favorite restaurant in austin and they never ever disappoint. it’s a family owned restaurant sitting next to a gas station that you just have to stop by when in the area. you can’t go wrong with excellent food and great vibes.

I’d highly recommend the Iskander Kebab and their Chicken Tuntuni. Worth every dollar. The service is superb and the waiter is always so kind and I love their atmosphere. Troy ATX is an Austin gem. This place is a must try.

I went here for lunch with my friend, and the service was 10/10 while the food was delicious! We got the chicken kebab, douma, and the mixed meat plate. Everything was cooked really well and the seasoning was amazing. I especially like their douma the most. We also get to tried their tea. The waiter today was awesome and very considerate. We don’t know his name, but he truly did an amazing job and we appreciate it!

Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The hummus and lamb kebabs were especially delicious — you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. It’s hard to find Mediterranean food this good in Austin. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Wow! Some of the best Gyro and Falafel I have ever had. Meats were all very good with great flavor. Friendly service. Really impressed. Baclava was perfect. Ambience was nice and quiet, great music choices. Just overall a very pleasant late afternoon dining experience. We'll be back for sure. #YUM PS Water tastes clean and good. Always a good sign.

Already looking forward to returning! This little spot may be overlooked as it's a part of a strip behind the Chevron gas station, but don't be fooled. Worth getting to know this authentic Turkish taste of the Mediterranean. Yes, it's small. It's family-owned. Therefore, this might mean longer waits (so don't show up hangry). But because it's small and family-owned, you'll truly feel like you've come to the home of the owners, and once things start to slow down after the rush, you'll feel like you've been welcomed by the family as you get to know them. It's truly a family effort, and it's admirable to see how even a small service can work together to accommodate the needs of all their guests (15 tables). An eclectic ambiance, sharing vibrancy. Orhan, one of the sons, makes it a priority to provide the best service possible and cares to share the culture of his family; learning your names, opening doors, sharing details relevant to what you're eating/drinking (if you care to know). In the kitchen, Okan and Cam, make sure it's a collaborative effort and not simply a separation of front of house and back of house. We truly felt like we came to their home and were welcomed as family. Do yourselves a favor and order the Iskender. Not only is it tasty, but there's a presentation of the meal that you may not get elsewhere. Of course, it may come out quicker than you expect, so feel free to slow play it by starting with the Mezze Sampler. We decided against it and started with the lentil soup (perfectly pureed with a unique taste of olive oil with seasoning) and the Acuka. Perfect amount of pita, so you don't fill up before your meal. Of course, plan accordingly. You're not going to want to miss out on Turkish coffee. Beautiful presentation, with a unique experience. We look forward to returning to try the Baklava and Turkish Ice cream, along with some tea. Thank you to the family at Troy ATX for bringing a piece of your home to Austin.

Very good food. The chicken is super soft, very well marinated and yummy! They even accommodated wrap for our kids and kids enjoyed it a lot. The Acuka was super yumm too!

I forgot how amazing this family restaurant is. Stopped on my way home & Orhun greeted me like I was home. He's covering the restaurant while his parents are on Vacation in Turkey. The lentel soup was plentiful enough to be dinner, especially with the wine, but I wanted to try the lamb chops and I'm glad I did

This is my second time in this "gem". It is a small restaurant located next to a gas a station, you'll never know the food could be so great. Very authentic and savory dishes. I had the Troy Salad with Lamb - let me tell you the explosion of flavors packed up in this creation. Starting with the "tahini" sauce as the dressing, the pickled cabbage, or just the pure combination of all the ingredients it is a must have! Closing with some good Turkish Coffee. It is definitely a a place to go in by yourself or share with a large group. Supporting our local business is always a pleasure

We needed this place! The food and the people were over the top heavenly. We came hungry and we left like a stuffed family member! The Greek wine, the salad and the MEATBALLS were simply delicious. The friendly atmosphere made us feel welcome. We will be regulars!!!

Troy ATX is amazing. The service and ambiance is unmatched. I went for my birthday this weekend and had some of the best food I've ever had in my life. The portions are so large, I'm still eating my leftovers two days later. They lit a candle for me and my husband and turned on a little campfire on the tv screen. Our server was so so kind! I couldn't finish my plate and he asked if I was dissatisfied and offered to replace it. I made sure to let him know it was perfect and that I was perfectly happy! I would recommend this place to everyone I know.

Falafal? YES!! Shakshuka? YES!! Plates to share? YES!! Welcoming vibes? YES!! Will I go back? YES!! That's 5 stars without even mentioning the baklava. YES!! YES!! It quick, it's covenant. They do take out. I like to eat there and listen to the music.

Amazing rice, lamb chops, fries, carrot hummus and Turkish red wine. The service is unrivaled - thank you Ginger!!

Great ambience, service, wine (we had tetramythos Greek organic Cabernet Sauvignon), ordered and shared Mix plate and Meatballs- both came with small salads. Was good quality portions, all cooked full of flavor, rice served with both. Baklava with pistachios for dessert. Highly recommend

Had the Greek gyro and it was delicious. The meat was really savory, seasoned well and I liked the crunch of the lettuce and onions. The tzatziki added a nice creamy element to balance out the other textures. Had the food delivered so can't speak to the service or ambiance. Would definitely try their other options because the menu has a good amount of variety.

We're huge fans of medi, so we are always on the lookout for a solid spot. Troy happened to be nearby our friends' place that we were staying at, so we grabbed takeout one night and are very glad we did. I had the turkish beef meatballs, and my boyfriend had the gyro. He was very excited because being gluten intolerant, he can almost never have gyro, but it's one of his favorite things. He said it was good, but wished that it was more than just white rice with gyro. The "side salad" that came with our plates was fairly forgettable. I felt the same way about my dish. I loved the meatballs a lot, but wish the rice had a big more flavor to it. We are used to turmeric and cumin spiced rice when we get Mediterranean food, so the white rice was a smidge of a letdown. Also, we just expected more food to come with each dish. I will say though that Troy had some of my favorite baklava I've ever tasted!

Everything here was amazing! From the service to the food to the ambiance. Such a cute little spot to come get great Turkish food. Ginger, one of the owners, was so sweet and made our dining experience so great! Will definitely be back again.

A small, family-owned business, offering authentic Turkish dishes. Attentive and friendly staff make sure you feel welcome and well attended in this intimate and homey restaurant. The smoky babaganoush and dolmas are a great way to start a meal, or enjoy as a snack with Turkish wine. Kebabs, falafel, lamb, all were well seasoned and prepared. My only complaint was the pita, which was thin, dry, and served in very moderate portions. But that is a minor concern, considering the rest of the dining experience.

Authentic and delicious Turkish fare. This family business deserves your patronage and you won't be sorry once you experience their hospitality

I just realized my last review of Troy was 2015 so definitely time for an update. I really like this restaurant. The food is excellent. It has a nice, casual feel. The prices are good, not cheap but the quality of food is very good. The service is still pretty leisurely so you may have to flag down the waiter if you've been waiting awhile. On our last visit, I tried the Iskender Kebab. Delicious! It's basically just gyro meat on top of pita bread covered with a tomato-based sauce. But it's really good. You have to let them pour the melted butter on top. It's my new favorite dish at Troy. My wife got the gyro plate, which was excellent, as always. We also had the very good baklava for dessert. I was also there for lunch recently and got the gyro wrap. It's not as huge as some places but very good. Definitely a big fan of this small restaurant in NW Hills. We'll be back!

I've had plenty of mediterranean places before with the traditional gyro and rice place meat offerings, but not traditional authentic Turkish food. My turkish friend (doesn't live in Austin) looked at the menu and confirmed the menu and food is traditional Turkish dishes. I was torn between the Iskender Kebab or the meatballs, the serve recommended the iskender kebab as that was his favorite Turkish dish. I was not disappointed, definitely a unique combination of tomato sauce on gyro meat with chopped pita bread at the bottom. The yogurt complimented the meat and sauce very well. They added melted butter on top which was a very nice touch to bring out the flavors. I also ordered the pistaschio baklava, love the pistachio flavor but the baklava itself its just a tad bit too sweet for my taste. Service was great and they are super friendly. Would return to try other dishes!

Every time I come I'm greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and even better food. Today was no exception. Service, food, and everything in between was divine. I recommend the iskender kebab, lamb chops, babaganoush, and dolmades.

Had such a lovely experience at Troy ATX. Service was so friendly and warm, and the restaurant is very cozy and quaint. This place has a great variety of vegetarian dishes, and we especially loved the baba ganoush, lentil soup, and fassolia (I think that's what it's called- the bean dish). Will definitely be back!

My wife loves anything Mediterranean/Greek/Turkish/Lebanese/etc so I am always on the hunt for new places. I had Troy on my list for a while and finally went. Halfway through the Mezze, it was our favorite Meditteranean spot in town. The Food was terrific, and the staff was super nice. Definitely get the Mezze as all the dips are amazing. I had the Iskender and my wife had a salad and they were both super flavorful. Will definitely be back.

We ordered for my father-in-law's birthday through Uber eats. I called the restaurant to make sure my notes showed up and the person who answered the phone was so courteous and friendly and confirmed that they had read all of our notes and would do the best they could to make it a special meal. This restaurant is far from my house and the Uber driver took quite a while to deliver, yet the food was piping hot when it arrived. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend anyone wanting to do take out to order from Troy. The Iskender kabob is a must. It's one of the best I've had (including in Turkey!). I would also recommend the mezze platter. It's such a delicious mix of dips and very filling. The integrity of the food was as good as fresh at the restaurant. 5 stars for Troy!

I've had food from Troy ATX twice, once at a large catered event and once take out. Both times I was impressed by the freshness of the food. We were in Greece last April and I've been searching for the Greek salad that is closest to the food I had in Greece. Troy is close but needs much more cheese. All the appetizer dips were wonderful and the pita fresh and warm. Next time we will eat there. I liked the cozy atmosphere.

Excellent food, fresh and super tasty. Even the rice was flavorful. Good portion size, a little on the higher price but still great.

It's been a year since I've been here. I always liked the food but found the portions a little light. Finally went back... wow! Lamb chops are delicious, best chicken kebabs I've ever had. The ingredients are really high quality, also enjoyed the falafel appetizer and Turkish coffee for dessert. Charming vibe inside, friendly service, family owned. I am now a big fan and will come back regularly!

Hey this place used to be nice but I guess they don't want our business anymore. Because with the increase in their prices,......their service quality has gone down the drain. I don't expect much but When you pay this much for the food, your expect half decent service. Young fella who was serving was lip syncing to background music while taking order. I understand, may be that's his thing. Long as he doesn't mess up my order. But no. Messed up the order and kept lip syncing. If the service is so casual then why charge so much for the meal.

Unique location/building in a strip center but once we walked in, got a warm greeting from the hostess/waitress/server. It's a limited menu but seems very authentic Greek food. We enjoyed a hummus appetizer that was some of the best I've had. The pita bread was sliced very thinly and limited in portion but I actually liked that. It's too easy to fill up on bread and this helped us focus on hummus with less bread. My companions ordered the gyro plate the twice and I took portions of their food. With the hummus that was plenty for three people. Again, a very small pita service but it was accompanied by rice and a crisp salad with pickled cabbage - yum. The gyro meat was thinly sliced and delicious, maybe a bit oily. Still and authentic tasting meal presented with a smile and really all very good. Not your typical overstuffed gyro with a load of fries. This was more home cooked feeling. I wish they gave a little more tzatziki but I guess we could have asked. If I have to criticize anything it would be my hot tea. I was expecting something aromatic like a cardamom or something like that but it was a basic black tea with no special flavors. Overall a good meal with very warm service and atmosphere.

We were nearby and looking for a Greek food place and ran across Troy. Our waiter explained that they have Turkish food which is similar to Greek. The people here are friendly and helpful and atmosphere is quaint and charming. The food was excellent! We will definitely be returning here to try some of the other dishes.

Great farm to table food that is aleays wonderful and very consistent. Highly recommended!

First of all we didn't like the service and the treatment with the customer. We went there for the first time and as new customers we expected a nice welcome, for everything we asked they said "they only serve in lunch menu" but we told them that we will pay the extra amount if they make it for us, they accepted and it turns out that all they are interested in is money, not satisfying the customer. I mean, for the money they accepted to prepare the lunch meal but they could do it without the extra payment to satisfy the customer and make him their permanent customer. Anyways! Then they brought the cutlery which was a failure! The fork was dirty. And they didn't even apologize for that. And the "iskender" food was also a disappointment, the bread under the meat was old and the sauce was not from fresh tomato but from tomato paste (which makes worse the particular taste of the food). And the "tantuni" (wrap) tasted like nothing. It had nothing to do with the original tantuni. Also "ayran" (yogurt drink) tasted sour (which means it is old, not fresh) and was awful. Anyway, they lost at least their new customers. A total disappointment.

I've passed this place a million times but never thought to try it because it is so inconspicuous from the outside, but a friend suggested it and it was a very pleasant surprise. The mezze sampler was great, as was the shrimp skewer + Greek salad, and my friend said his Turkish chicken meatballs were really good, too. We ended with pistachio baklava that were not too syrupy sweet and Turkish coffee, which was served in a beautiful little silver dish. The restaurant was really charming inside, too. I'll be back to try more!

Very tasty, authentic Turkish food. Family established original menu then recently sold the restaurant to return to Turkey. Sold to insider who has kept all the same except the prices. Regardless, I'm glad Troy is still thriving - food, service and ambiance is truly authentic. If you crave Turkish coffee, this is THE place for you!

Ordered several plates and mezze to go. Food was very tasty but not a price performer for the portion size. People who dine in may have a different experience.

Met friends out for dinner and enjoyed the restaurant and food. We all had the meatballs plate which came with hummus, a small salad & pita bread. Very delicious and really liked the meatballs, nice and tasty. We also had some hummus & pita bread to start with, which was delicious. We brought our own craft beer to sample with each other and was a little disappointed that we were each (couple) charged the $15 cork fee but we can rarely find good choices of craft beer at many specialty restaurants, so there's that. The restaurant was very clean, staff very attentive and menu was nice and varied; although their website did show a different (lunch) menu, which wasn't labeled as such, and we were surprised to see a different menu.

Absolutely the best in Austin. Beware.... If you come here once you'll get addicted. Great family atmosphere!!! The food is, what can I say,indescribable... you just have to have everything on the menu. God knows I've done that!!!

The ethos at TroyATX is a secret of sorts. Driving by for the last 5 years, one would wonder... surrounded by a sandwich shop and a drive-through of gas station patrons, tucked away in the corner is the closest thing to a main street, quaint, and auspicious collection of deliciously simple and traditional meals offered. It was extremely clean, the staff were attentive, and the food, Baba Ghanoush, Grilled Lamb Chops, and authentic Pistashcio Baklava was promptly carouseled from the chef to fork, generating pursed lips of delight, and rememberance to come visit again.

Quaint place with good food and environment. Mediterranean Turkish food skewers appetizers wine and vegetables

I had the best lunch today! Troy is always spot on for Turkish food. Starting with a medley of babaganush, shakshuka and hummus...yum!!

This place is a real hidden gem. Unassuming exterior, fantastic ambiance and food. Everything we've tried has been good. To top it all off the staff is over the top friendly and helpful. I've screwed up an online order before and they rush fixed it for me when I showed up and realized my mistake. These are quality people making quality food, full stop.

This hidden gym does everything right. Delicious food, great service, some Turkish wines underpriced for their quality I mean, really. We enjoyed a bottle of Kav Angora for $27. It was easily worth $80 or more. The food was perfect and filling. I had an order of Turkish dolmades followed by a Iskender Kebab, a lamb dish that was delicious. The photo submitted with this teview is of the mixed meatball dinner, which was generous for two people. I'm glad you guys don't know about this family-run place, because I'd like to keep it a secret, but honestly it's too good. Gotta share.

We ate like kings!! The food was delicious and portioned just right. The service was spot on, you could tell they took pride in their work. It felt cozy, casual and fun but the food screams upscale! This is our new go-to place for Austin

An unsuspecting treasure in North Austin, Troy blew it out of the water for dinner. I believe it is family-owned and I can tell they really care about the quality of service and the quality of their food. Everything was absolutely delicious. The falafel appetizer was small but mighty. None of that fake, over-fried green balls you sometimes find in town. The hummus it came with was fresh as well. I ordered something I've never heard of before, the Iskender kebab which was "Prepared from thinly sliced gyro topped with warm tomato based Iskender sauce over pieces of pita bread and top on grilled tomato, green pepper, generously pouted browned melted butter. Served with yogurt on the side" It was light, warm, and the meat was so good. My partner got a combination of meats, rice, and salad. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word! This place deserves it.

I had another errand on Mesa today, so looked for a place nearby from which to pick up lunch. Troy's reviews were great, so I placed an order. First the ordering experience was really great. I was able to order directly on Troy's website, there were good descriptions for all food items, and most had pictures. Super great bonus was that I was able to complete and pay for the order with Apple Pay. When I arrived at the restaurant a few minutes before my promised food readiness time, I was super impressed with the cozy vibe of the place. Post-pandemic this is definitely a place that I would like to come to eat at in person. I also noticed right away that there was a table full of bags ready to go for take-out. In my mind this was a good sign that they had a lot of other orders. Even though I was early, my order was just being bagged up as I arrived, and was handed to me with an offer of plasticware and a smile. When I got home I was incredibly impressed with the food. I had the lamb kavurma. This dish was bite size pieces of lamb in a flavorful sauce served with rice, a salad and half a pita. The salad blew me away with the quality and variety of leafy greens. Most places don't put that much effort into their side salad. The quality of these greens was like that at a high end farm-to-table establishment. The rice was yummy and dare I say "buttery." The lamb was tender and while I thought the portion was generous enough to have leftovers, I found that I had finished it all! Now that I've found Troy, I'm eager to add it to my regular meal rotation.

One of our favorite neighborhood restaurants! Friendly, fast, and delicious. I love that there are so many vegetarian options and they are all so good. And of course, baklava!

Fantastic Turkish food! I ordered the lamb chops and they were amazing. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked. Super flavorful and juicy. My wife had the meatballs which were also 10 out of 10. Our server Orhun was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We're definitely coming back!

Troy Restaurant is a Yelp discovery and a lucky charm. Service was so friendly and personable. I love when people try to connect. This made our first dining experience one to remember. Our selections were flavors we hadn't tried yet. There was enough food for four people. My daughter and I tried our best to eat for the other two invisible people. We had a pleasant feast. Of our order, the Saksuka fried eggplant and potatoes was nice and different. For my meal, I had the Iskender plate: beef gyro topped with spicy tomato sauce. I needed more spice. Then I tried my daughter's Garides Saganaki: sauteed prawns with tomatoes red onions fresh garlic marash pepper fresh dill with feta cheese. This was a winner! They have a casual dining atmosphere. The interior has traditional decor and a warm feel. Their serving platters are beautiful!

was very surprised with the food at this spot. It is off to the side of a gas station, but don't let that scare you away. The food is VERY fresh and flavorful. The salad had delicious veggies. The meat was well seasoned. They have wonderful baklava. The workers are very friendly. The pricing is also right. Definitely a go to if you are craving some good Mediterranean.

This is a nice place. It is nice to see a Turkish restaurant when you are so far away from Turkey. The service was very nice, I don't think Americans recognize good Turkish service. My server was very friendly. Good guy. The pirzola is good, but the iskender is ok. I think the only problem with the iskender is the tomato sauce, but I am no chef. Only thing keeping me from making a five star review is that they don't have raki

We do not live in Austin, found Troy ATX online and decided to give it a try. I was thrown off when I pulled into the parking lot that the restaurant shares with a Circle K! But I'm glad we parked and went inside. Very laid back atmosphere. Not a lot of seating. Service was good. Food was incredible! I suggest the Iskender Kabob. Even if you are unsure...try it anyway. The homemade hummus as an appetizer was also great. I will go back when I have a chance!

We ordered food from this restaurant before and we enjoyed it even though the amount of the food wasn't that much. So we ordered three meals for two people last night from Troy and they definitely gave us less food then the first time. We paid $82.55(included the driver fee) for three meals. That wasn't enough at all! We only got half pita bread for three meals. There was a bit meat in Iskender kebab . They all taste good but so pricey for such a little meal. I don't think I am going to order from Troy again unless they change their amount of the food!

Excellent and friendly service and the food was AMAZING! deff will be returning with a big appetite
