Troy

This has needed an update for years and let's begin. 6/10/2025 Recently I've took my sister here as we're both trying to avoid foods cooked with a lot of oil like Chinese food. She's a chef and has been in the business for over 40 years and spent the last 6 years as a chef and was managing food trucks in North Carolina. A long distance from her Napa gourmet restaurant roots. Tonight she ordered the lamb souvlaki. I ordered a small chicken shawarma wrap and lentil soup. The chicken shawarma was perfect. Just be warned, it is with pita bread so it's a bit messy of a handheld eat. But what the heck. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked as it was quite tender. Nicely caramelized onions inside. Loved the lentil soup. It had a nice helping of lentils, not just a few little bits floating around as you see in some places. Which now brings me to the lamb souvlaki. Now my doctor insists that I don't eat too much meat and I totally agree. However, I could have eaten this for a week. It was some of the best lamb I have tasted in years, maybe over 20 years. Tasted fresh, it was perfectly tender, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not over salted, thank God which is something a lot of restaurants do with meat, especially grilled meat or meat. kebobs. My sister was very impressed and pretty much polished off the whole thing. She noted that there were no salt and pepper shakers which she totally appreciated because it meant that the cook knew exactly what he or she was doing. I did take that last bit of her grilled zucchini, which in itself was quite delicious. This was the second time I took her. Last time I had the falafel shawarma wrap and I recommend that as well. I got the large one and it was quite substantial. Sister may have had the chicken souvlaki I don't remember. Just noted down below that I did my first review 6 years ago. I have since returned multiple times quite often bringing family because it's not too crowded, the food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. They do a reasonable amount of takeout which is probably why there aren't as many occupied tables as before. 6 yrs ago Nice greek food, but the french fries. OMG.... sorry short on details as this was a month or two ago. Will return.

We love this place. The homemade spicy sauce they serve here is out of this world good. We enjoy the group, Big enough to split, but you won't want to. My hubby tried the plate which was good but our favorite is still the house gyro. Slices of deliciously spiced meat wrapped in a soft warm bread & fresh lettuce tomato & onion inside. Prices are great and so is the service. Always friendly and we love coming here

We only had three items but they were very good. The Gyros Wrap and the Gyros Platter. Both extremely yummy. Great texture in the wrap. Loved it. The harmon fries were spectacular! Really garlicky. And the texture was perfect. Awesome crispness. A little on the pricey side overall but a nice treat.

Best Greek chicken lemon soup. Definitely get the french fries. I get them without garlic and they’re fantastic. I don’t think I need the garlic. And you can watch and you can watch sports on the TV as well. Iris is an amazing manager and we like her so much.

Been coming here every year when I visit the area except during the pandemic. Still delicious and great service. I've had a lot of the dishes, all great tasting. Had the Chicken Shawarma and Spanikopita twice. Loved it. As you might see in the pics, I dug into the food and forgot to take the pics first time I went. The second time was takeout. Was so good 👍. If you're looking for some great tasting food and friendly fast service...Troy is your place

The food was amazing! Tasty and juicy. I don't think I've ever had better fried zucchini anywhere. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. Definitely go for the food, not the atmosphere.

We usually get take out. Great food. What keeps me coming back is the home made hot sauce (red).

Good price for dinner for two on a weekday. The "impossible wrap" was palatable, but the lamb and rice was quite bland. Greek tea is a must try on a cool evening, but other drink options are quite disappointing. I would give kudos to the service at Troy. They are considerate, friendly, and in general very nice people to interact with. The big let-down was the food. I usually love the spanakopita, but this place disappointed me to no end. Maybe I need to choose another day to come visit Troy to see if I have a different experience!

Mary and I met here for lunch today. I know Alan and I had eaten here several times since 2017 but I can't remember when I last ate in since 2020. I've done takeout several times since the start of the pandemic. The décor has changed, The collection of smaller photographs has been replaced by two large ones. I didn't recognize our server, but he was warm and friendly. I left home later than I had planned so I texted Mary that I was running late. I found parking right in front and walked in. Mary was seated against the east wall on the banquette and had already ordered a falafel wrap, as she didn't know how late I would be. She had water to drink. I ordered a small gyro and some of their delicious tea. I had thought about getting a cup of their avgelemono soup but wasn't that hungry. I sat down on the chair opposite Mary, who had received her falafel wrap. We had a good time talking and catching up and soon my gyro and tea were delivered. Mary had torn hers in half, intending to take one half home. We took turns talking so the one listening could eat, which worked out well. My gyro was delicious, as was the tea. As we talked Mary gradually ate the rest of her wrap and soon she had nothing to take home. There was never a question of leftovers for me, as this was my first meal of the day. I finished it all. Our server refilled my tea when he refilled Mary's water. When I needed to go to the bathroom I had trouble getting up because we had been sitting so long. I tried, but couldn't do it. Our server (I wish I had asked his name!) came over and asked if I needed help. I was about to reluctantly say yes when Mary said yes on my behalf and I assented, so he helped me up and my knees unlocked. I walked over to the restroom, leaving my credit card so we could pay. There was lovely tile around the bathroom walls that I don't remember from before, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there, as it's been a while. When I returned our server came over w/ the handheld point of sale device. As I paid Mary engaged him in conversation, asking if he was Iranian, volunteering that she was half Iranian. He said no, but close, that he was Jordanian, and that led to a lovely conversation about her visit w/ her late husband to Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries several decades ago and the differences in Jordan between then and now. What a pleasure to eavesdrop on it!

The food is good. The service is good. But the atmosphere is horrible. The place is really getting run down. It's been at least ten years since this place has seen a new coat of paint. Everything is chipped and run down looking. I love the staff and the food, but it's really depressing to dine there.

Whether Troy Greek Cuisine place is named ironically or after someone named Troy, I do not know. If it is an ironic joke, it makes a bit of sense, because it ain't that Greek. But TGC is not a bad spot for--shall we say?--Hellas-inspired food. Most of the typical fare is here: shwarma, souvlaki and gyros. They do have several lamb dishes (including kapama) and one halloumi appetizer (which I have not tried). I would have liked to have seen some more typical Greek dishes on the menu, like avgolemono, or dips like taramoussalata and skordalia. But that said, the ingredients here are generally very good. The prices are even better, considering the location on an increasingly upmarket Solano Avenue and the last several years of inflation. So, in terms of value for money, I was quite pleased with my meal. Where TGC lost points was in flavor. While good quality and competently prepared, the food was all a bit bland. I was given a couple of house-made sauces to zip up my meal, one rather tasteless and the other a bit spicy. I am not sure what they were; they were definitely not Greek and the waitress agreed that they were not (more to the point, she opted to not tell me their origins!). Even with the spicier of the two, it didn't add much to the taste. So, while I enjoyed my meal, it had very little wow factor. All that said, when I am in the neighborhood again, I will give it another go and bring some friends/family to get their take. As I say, it certainly is worth it.

This is my favorite Troy. It's so nice and cozy. The staff is nice. It feels like a very mellow place where people are genuinely nice. The food was great. We ordered a large wrap and the Mezza platter. The falafels are the best I ever had, even better than the ones from their sister Troy in Martinez. The only issue is that the cheese and olives on the Mezza platter was insanely salty. In the future, I will avoid the Mezza platter for that reason.

Excellent Mediterranean Cuisine in a casual setting. Dominated in part by the large bar counter flanked by the open kitchen area, you'll find several small tables along the right side of the restaurant up front near the windows to enjoy your meal. Friendly service with a gentle caring smile and warm greetings and attention from our host. We were in the mood for just a little light lunch, so we ordered up the Athenian Chicken Salad and a big bowl of Avgolemono Soup and a side of Falafel balls. Service was fast. Within 8 minutes or so, our lunch was presented to us. The Athenian Chicken Salad was huge.. In it you'll find crunchy Romaine lettuce, chicken and feta tossed in a homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing along with apples and a ton of walnuts for added flavor. It also comes with a couple of wedges of pita bread. Definitely worth it (5/5 in my book)! My partner had the Avgolemono Soup (chicken, rice, lemon) which was on point. (4/5) The Falafel balls were yummy too! (4.5/5). Their menu hits all the high notes for everyday Greek/Mediterranean Cuisine with Gyros, Souvlakis, Falafel, various Wraps, Kebabs and more. We definitely want to come back gain for the mains too next time.

Came in on a Saturday with my aunt upon her recommendation. It wasn't too crowded, which was a nice because it enabled the conversation without a lot of noise. Services good,. Although it took a little bit of time for the food to arrive it's clear that it's because they were taking their time to prepare each dish. Had Guro and Greek fries both were very good and walked away full

Updated review: Dropped in on a busy Saturday for dinner and were offered a couple seats at the bar overlooking the kitchen. After a table cleared, we were asked if we'd prefer to move but we liked where we were. It was fascinating to watch, and the food was delicious as usual. I tried the lentil soup for the first time and told my husband to remember that's what I want the next time I'm sick. Delicious comfort in a bowl! As always, the Troy staff are so friendly.

I really like this place. Very good food with generous portions and ok price. I went with my FIL and he loved it. The prices were fair for the quantity of food.

We only had three items but they were very good. The Gyros Wrap and the Gyros Platter. Both extremely yummy. Great texture in the wrap. Loved it. The harmon fries were spectacular! Really garlicky. And the texture was perfect. Awesome crispness. A little on the pricey side overall but a nice treat.

I ordered the Athenian Chicken salad on a hot day, and it really hit the spot! The chicken was nice & juicy and had a lot of flavor. The apples made it really refreshing and the balsamic vinaigrette was perfect. My taste buds were in heaven. My family & I love coming here-- always get the falafel! I'd only recommend adding onion to the salad!

I always wanted to try this place!!! It didn't disappoint! Like wow! The place was a little cold for a cloudy day... they leave the doors propped opened and no heaters inside, so those with elderly or small children may not fair well! The service was great. The staff is nice and friendly. The food... definitely worth the chilly seating for me!!! I love lamb kabobs, but these had a slight distinct flavor!!! Clean restrooms. Street parking,, or walk across the street for garage parking which is FREE!

Been going here for years, they are excellent. Really great customer service, whether ordering over the phone or dining inside. The grilled salmon is awesome, also love the falafel wrap and the mousaka. But, oddly enough, the Greek Fries (French fries with Parmesan)...are the best fries I have ever had. Ever. My god. And I've eaten a LOT of French fries in my lifetime, in various cities. Anyway I love this place. (Their onion rings are awesome too.)

Came here a few months ago. I ordered online and picked up my order. The wrap was delicious and flavorful. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

Came here after our favorite Greek place simply closed in November 2023. Ordered a gyro and a chicken souvlaki wrap. Both were just ok; the meats were a little on the dry side. The wraps come with plenty of filling, on the bright side. Will continue our search for local Greek fare that is 'simply' amazing!

Troy Greek Cuisine isn't much to look at which makes the meal I enjoyed here all the more special. The vibe of the place is such that I'd ask if there even is one. It's simple and looks as though no thought went into it. Thought definitely goes into the food though and which would you rather have? My Mediterranean Plate (about $18), clearly prepared to order, proved so delicious that my desire is to return and order the same thing again. Chicken chunks were cooked with onions and presented along with a uniquely tasty hummus, a bountiful portion of yellow rice, and a cucumber/tomato mix. It was a lot of food but I could barely stop myself from consuming the whole thing. I liked that Troy did nothing to try and hurry me along despite the lunch crowd coming and going while I still sat, enjoying myself. If you don't need much ambiance for a thoroughly delicious plate of food, Troy is a great option.

Lovely lunch with friends here recently. First visit for me. So easy to walk to from different directions. Close to a lot of shopping. Busy Main Street so parking is a challenge at peek times but usually can find a spot after a few drive bys. Chicken Schwartz was fantastic! Just the right flavoring and the chicken juicy. Rice was fresh. Menu offers most things one would want. Great service. Quick food order to table. Staff friendly. Seating inside is good. Loved out front window table.

Okay, this is more like a 3.5 star review, but the price makes it a 3. We ordered this for delivery. Each sandwich we bought, a chicken and a gyro wrap were each $14 for the large. The chicken was overcooked and dry, though the copious sauce load on the sandwich got close to covering it up. The gyro was just a bit weird. Long rectangular slabs of meat. The meat had a grainy texture. Like it was press-formed into its current shape from ground meat. Also, it wasn't really seasoned. The service seemed good, they packed things neatly and the veggies were definitely fresh and the sauces on point. I'd say if you can go in person, and maybe it's cheaper, then this would be a place to go to for Greek food. I don't think I'll order from them for delivery again. TL;DR: Okay food, high prices.

First time trying take-out from here was success! Food is delicious, flavorful, and well priced. The Greek fries were so crispy and seasoned well. We ordered on a Saturday night so they were a bit busy.

Excellent wraps, salads and beers on tap. Enjoy watching the game on single tv and chatting with the staff who are great as is the food. Wonderful local Greek spot !

Troy Greek Cuisine opened in the vacated A.G. Ferrari space decades ago. infrastructure totally repurposed. old influences reasonates. cavernous. offerings: starters, sides, entrees, booze, desserts, wraps, salads. eats: lamb souvlaki platter (18)- -a skewer of charbroiled marinated lamb on an HOT steel skewer (OUCH!) with juicy, moist cubes of lamb. -lamb on top of mildly seasoned rice next to pita bread, grilled tomato & cucumbers. containers of red and white sauce, tzatziki sauce nearby. -quality of lamb is way above those on food trucks. souvlaki is definitely made to order, not premade and reheated per the food truck model. -service steady, low key. -inside lighting subdued, translates to dull looking food pics. -souvlaki is similar to kebobs, shwarma, other middle eastern eats, has minor variants. leftovers; -lots of seating in cavernous, rustic space. -street parking available on side streets. -many traditional Greek eats available. ..

We ordered three mixed plates (take out) to eat while we watched the Golden Globes. Reliably delicious, high-quality ingredients, packed nicely, and extra red and green sauce at no extra charge! We've eaten at Troy for years and it's always satisfying.

I bought take out from Troy Greek Cuisine on Solano Avenue on 8/25/2024. I was very disappointed. I still have the receipt in case this review is flagged suggesting I wasn't there. The dolmas are from a can with tomato sauce. The tzatziki was watery. The spanakopita dry. The gyro meat was like some version of crumbled beef. The baklava was honey flavored phyllo dough. I am vegetarian thus this review is the combination experience from my omnivore husband, our omnivore guests, and myself. I'd be glad to speak with the owners. I did call them about the etiology of the dolmas and was read the ingredients over the phone. I am not one to give a bad review but I am reporting my experience in all honesty.

Troy's has now become my go-to place whenever I'm in the area! As a vegetarian, I'm always looking for what restaurants offer as vegetarian options and is it flavorful. Troy's offers both falafel and impossible meat options, and they're flavored so well, they're a hit. I've gotten the falafel wrap and impossible wrap multiple times now and for the price, they're so filling. The falafel is done well and feels fresh. I'd also recommend the garlic fries! They're loaded with garlic and are a hit whenever I go eat with friends. This is a must-go spot if you haven't been yet.

3 customers in the place. 10 minute wait to bring water, take an order? Very noisy fan vent. Food: Lamb plate - lamb kabob was so tough I couldn't eat it...certainly not a center cut or tender part of lamb...more like a shoulder cut of lamb. It was cold. Rice was cold. I asked for grilled eggplant ...she said they don't have eggplant. What? You have baba ghanoush, right? Yes. But no eggplant. Came with 4 slices of grilled zucchini. Pathetic. I did not eat any flit, if Inwas not with a person on a first date Inwould have sent it back. I'll never go here again. Zaytoon in Albany down the street is fa superior.

Went here today, which was about 5 years since the last time (bc we moved), it's still very good. Really good Greek food. Service was great, the server and the other folks that work there are very nice. A very good meal.

Troy is great Greek place!! The wraps are really good. Everything on the menu is really good. I would recommend this place. Never had any issues with troy's.

***Grubhub Delivery Review*** I'm a huge fan of Troy Greek Cuisine! I used to frequent their old Rockridge location some years back when it was still in business. I was having a craving for Greek food and decided to order for delivery. I've never actually been inside of this location, but I had an excellent experience with the then through Grubhub. Ordered a large chicken shawarma wrap with garlic fries, and this meal was so damn delicious. First off, the prices are extremely reasonable here which I love. Secondly, the portions sizes are massive. For about $10, you can get a shawarma wrap that's the size of a giant burrito. It easily made two meals for me with the garlic fries. Speaking of garlic fries; they truly hooked it UP with all those damn fries! There was plenty of garlic and parmesan to go around. This is definitely a shareable side. The chicken shawarma wrap was absolutely mouthwatering! The chicken pieces were nice and tender and the wrap was so juicy and flavorful. It was stacked for the GAWDS, I tell you. No shortage of meat in this thang at all. None. Had no issues with the delivery through Grubhub at all. Everything arrived within the quoted time frames. I ordered a side of hummus for my wrap, and they didn't forget it. Oh yeah, and their hummus is addictive! It's so fresh and fragrant. Definitely tasted homemade and I have to get it when I get anything from Troy. Even though I haven't dined in yet, this experience has made me anxious to do so. Excited to dine in for dinner soon. Love me some Troy!

How lucky am I to live just one block from Troy's! It's the perfect lunch spot --delicious, reasonably priced, with great service. My go-to is the chicken or lamb souvlaki. It's a large portion, big enough to share but you won't want to. I had a friend visiting from the Midwest last week and of course with out of towners you always feel this pressure because they expect California to have the best multicultural cuisine. I rattled off all the places on Solano Avenue - Thai, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Greek... "Let's go for Greek!" I instantly felt relieved because I knew Troys would not disappoint. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken - excellent salad with generous amount of chicken. My friend ordered the lamb souvlaki. I've had it a million times. It's great. My friend loved it. We ate indoors and it was late afternoon so the restaurant was pretty empty. We had the place to ourselves, never felt rushed, and the server was attentive without being overbearing. When in doubt just go to Troys!

My wife suggested we go to Solano Blvd in Albany/Berkeley and go to a restaurant that neither of us had been too. The challenge was to not check YELP 1st but to base the decision on the menu solely. YELP is always my trusty co-pilot so it was weird for me. We spotted Troy Greek Cuisine. I have have had a craving for Greek food for months. My problem is once inside most places so-called Greek Restaurants, you find its actually Mediterranean cuisine and not specializing in Greek. A mix of Middle-Eastern, and North African in most cases. The location is unassuming in an old building so it is long and narrow with high ceilings. That usually translates to a bit more interior noise than other places with an open kitchen. Clean but basic. Jackpot !!! The entire menu was GREEK dishes. Even serving Retsina Wine a Greek fav. Our server Gonzalo was very accommodating. All our special requests were welcomed. He was very pleasant. We ordered the Gyros Platter, and the Chicken Souvlaki. Being KETO they help the rice for us. The platters arrive with a smile. They were eye appealing and good sized portions. But the payload was the authentic seasoning on the meats and the Tzatziki dressing on the salad. And the roast veggies were perfect. The pita bread was very fresh and though KETO I snuck a couple nibbles. The entire experience was a win. Food and service was great. I would come back. A little noisy. Table tops bare ... no flowers, salt, pepper, napkins.

My Togo food was so delicious I had to write a review before I finished my meal. The staff here is always incredibly nice and accommodating. Also, I have been missing out on their chicken shawarma wrap. Either I was super hungry after my workout or it was incredibly delicious. The grilled veggies had such a yummy umami flavor and were cooked to perfection. I also ordered a chicken platter (don't judge me ) and while there was a bit too much rice for my liking, the combo of veggies, chicken, rice with tzakiki was so satisfying and delectable on this hot summer eve. Thanks Troy team for making my evening.

Great food. Great service. Convenient location. I will definitely be going back here again.

We ordered our meal for a late lunch, early dinner and was wonderfully surprised at just how much we enjoyed every bit of what we ordered. Let's start with the Lentil Soup! It so totally hit the spot and so very flavorful. A great start to an awesome, awesome, meal. The Fries with just the Parmesan cheese and herb were the best and every last one got eaten. We think you have the best Gyro's this side of the planet and will look forward to our next visit or order. Thank you for your very tasteful delicious food. Happy Holidays!!!!

Coming here was a part of our S.A.T. - Solano Ave Tour - prompted by the fact that we live close by, but have only frequented a few restaurants. Thus, I thought it would be an excellent idea to start at the top of Solano Avenue and work our way down to experience everything the avenue has to offer. Our first stop on the SAT was Troy. The atmosphere was friendly, and the food was delicious. The goal of the tour is to try everything and keep the ones we like in our Rolodex of Solano spots. Troy definitely made the list. BB

I'm giving this place 5 stars based on the Greek salad alone. It was the best I've had in years!!!! I would definitely go back but only for the Greek salad, the other food was just ok; not a ton of flavor and the meat was dry. I had the chicken shawarma wrap and fries. So glad I ordered that salad though. If I had known it was going to be that good, I would have just ordered a large salad and that's it.

Currently writing this review while sleepily digesting a chicken shawarma. I ordered a large chicken shawarma, gyros wrap, and falafel wrap for pickup today. The description on the receipt says 9", but with all the stuff sticking out it definitely seemed longer! Didn't measure, but hand for scale. They really hit the spot. Both the chicken and gyros wrap had flavorful meat and plenty of tzaziki, which is honestly one of my favorite things about them! We branched out and tried the falafel wrap as well, but I definitely prefer the meat. The falafel seemed a bit dry, but there was also plenty of sauciness keeping it moist inside. They use pita! Not sure if it's a regional thing, but I've noticed not all gyros have pita bread and sometimes have more of a tortilla-like wrap. Overall pickup was easy and quick, and I hope Troy sticks around for a while! I frequented their college location before it closed and this one is larger on the inside but equally delicious.

I always always always get the seared ahi tuna salad. It's my favorite. My wife and I split the meza platter. The best meal I ever had, like mother's milk.

This spot is offering delivery services during the pandemic. I ordered (via DoorDash) the lamb/beef gyro, spanakopita, and the Greek fries! Let's get into the spanakopita. It was divine. Perfect, golden triangles on the outside with just the right amount of filling. The phyllo/filo dough gracefully falls off with each bite. And, they weren't oily. Now, onto the fries. You can't really go wrong with fries besides burning them or making them to salty. They were crisp and had a fabulous crunch. I liked dipping mine in the green and red sauces that accompanied my meal. FAIR WARNING: The red sauce is slightly spicy so if you can't handle ketchup and are sensitive to spice, I truly don't recommend adding the red sauce to your fries. Now, the main reason I even ordered from here-the gyro. When I tell you that this met every expectation--it met her at the door in a Versace suit with flowers and a card in hand! Absolutely delicious. Great flavors, well cooked meat, and beautiful presentation. Perfect portions too! Nothing was sliding out while I took a bite and I stayed mess free. 10/10 will be eating here again because I'm a sucker for a good gyro.

Best gyros and garlic fries in town. Friendly service from a Greek family. What's not to like?

We love dining at Troy on Solano. So much that we knew exactly who to contact to cater our event (30 peopke). Gyros, Pastitsio, Moussaka, Greek rice...all a were crowd pleasers. Hassam and the team at Troy were helpful, professional & courteous. Thank you for contributing to a joyous celebration.

Really good wraps and a family friendly atmosphere! We took a lunch break at Troy on a busy Saturday and were very happy that we did. The toddler had a blast, we had a relaxed and yummy meal, what else do you need? The waiter was super nice and the open kitchen well organized and clean.

I have always liked and appreciated Troy's, but they are the latest business to go to a "no cash" policy that -- whether intentional or not -- discriminates against those who don't have access to credit cards or electronic payment, such as our already vulnerable homeless community. All citizens have a right to access services such as local restaurants and I have to stand with our poor and homeless brothers and sisters and stop patronizing Troy's until they change their policy back to allowing access to all. Plus, no one's cash has ever bounced or had its numbers used for fraudulent activity. The food at Troy's is good but their payment policy needs to change in order to continue earning my business.

We ordered delivery and we enjoyed it a lot. Solid no-frills meal. Important to us: the pita is soft and delicious. Our former favorite Greek place, Ikaros, gave us crispy toasted pita last time we ordered and it was quite disappointing. Liked and will order again: Gyros platter -- four strips of absolutely delicious lamb/beef meat mixture, nicely spiced Greek fries -- we could live without the heap of parmesan on top, but the fries were great, well seasoned and addictive Tzatziki -- light on the cucumber but great yogurt tang and worth ordering an extra side even though it also came with platters Might order again: Greek salad -- heavy on the olives and we found the tomatoes and cucumbers to be cut too large Beef souvlaki -- we got a side of this and it was tender and quite tasty, but too peppery for my taste Impossible platter -- pleasant disk of Impossible vegan meat with a nice flavor Grilled seasonal vegetables -- zucchini and tomato, fine, nothing special and were also the same as the sides on the platters Saganaki -- thin strips of cheese in a pleasant very lemony sauce, a nice low-carb side but nothing earthshaking Caesar salad -- I didn't want the pita croutons and there wasn't much special about the salad without them Wouldn't order again: Falafel -- dry and uninteresting, tasted too much like cumin Hummus -- horrible pebbly texture and uninteresting taste

As soon as the food came to the table and I took a first bite, I wanted to cry from joy at how amazing and fresh everything was. This is hands down the best Greek/Mediterranean restaurant that I've been to. We ordered a side of fries and they came in a huge portion enough to feed four adults. I had a dish with macaroni and beef and salad on the side that you could tell was incredibly fresh and made to order. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the food and the staff was attentive.

Ordered and picked up dinner from Troy on Solano Avenue in Berkeley the other day. We had the kefta kebab platter, lamb souvlaki, and gyro, and the small horiataki salad. All were spiced well, good portion size, and delicious. Recommended.

I was really looking forward to coming here yet left leaving pretty disappointed. Our meals took some time to arrive to our table and was luke warm. My Wrap had a good amount of Chicken but was somewhat lacking elsewhere, the bread was so small it wasn't a Wrap but more of a Taco and incredibly messy to eat as most of the filling fell out and my Husband's meal seemed as though it was mass produced and just microwaved to order - barely warm in the center and cheese on top was chewy. His Salad that came with the meal was good though, of which I ate 70% of it. Street parking only. 2.5 / 5

The wonderful aromas hit you as you enter this restaurant. I see why there are so many coming for takeout. Prices are reasonable and the food is fresh and clean. Nothing heavy or oily. We got the Chicken & Lamb Souvlaki plates. Chicken was very good, moist & perfectly done, but the Lamb is what I will go back for. Still a little pink inside, exactly how I like it. They were both served on a bed of saffron rice with grilled veggies. We also got hummus and fried Calamari with Marinara sauce. Hummus was too thin & runny and lacked flavor. The Calamari was light and fried in a meal breading that was light and flavorful without being greasy. Need to try the Moussaka & fries next time! The aromas filled the house with that wonderful saffron perfume when I reheated the leftovers! Note for restaurant: please add more of the grilled veggies or make it a side. I can't get enough, and you don't want to make me cry

Great food nice workers and best of all the saganaki and drinks and also clean this deserves a five star in my eyes

Man, this was such a disappointment. The Greek salad had lots of really sad, anemic tomato and was light on olive, feta, and onion. The chicken wrap was really weird - it just sort of tasted like vinegar, the whole thing, made me wonder if some element was off and fermenting in a bad way. The so-called spanokopita was down right offensive - it contained zero cheese, just spinach, was very bland, was underbaked, and came with a water tzatziki. Also got the a avgolemono soup. Traditionally this soup is thickened with egg and rice with a pleasant lemon flavor. This seems To have been made without any egg - lacks the thickness and creaminess - and the lemon is overpowering. So disappointing. I would never order from here again.

Fragrant flavorful fresh, grilled! In other words guilt free, even braggy satisfaction. You know all healthy and stuff....
