Customer Reviews
My fiancé and I dropped by around 7 PM on a Friday. Surprisingly, the place was quiet with plenty of space to choose from. Opting for an indoor table by the window, we quickly dove into their extensive Greek menu. I went for the garlic fries and a large gyro wrap, while my fiancé chose the hummus and chicken souvlaki. The souvlaki was flavorful but a tad too lemony for our taste. The hummus was solid – exactly what you'd expect. The highlight? The garlic fries. A generous portion that was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served with an incredibly spicy green hot sauce and a milder red sauce. We hit a small snag when my gyro was mistakenly delivered to another table, but the staff quickly fixed the issue and kindly removed it from our bill. Overall, our experience
Simply delicious. Troy is conveniently located right across the Alameda Theater. I had the lamb kebab plate. The lamb was perfectly tender, juicy and flavorful. The same for the chicken kebab platter as well. The hummus appetizer was creamy and the bread was soft on the inside with a perfect crunch on the outside. Their green hot sauce—wooo! I was tempted to take it home. I kept dropping some on my rice which was fluffy, moist and with a nice saffron aroma. Last, but not least, the customer service was just superb.
I was in the bay area and was craving some Greek food so I looked around and found this place. They have a few locations, but I picked the one in Alameda since it was closer. As far as parking there is a parking lot close by and also Street parking. There is seating inside and they also have seating outside. There was just two people eating outside and the inside was empty. I found that kind of odd for a Sunday afternoon. I was expecting a bit more of decoration inside for it being a Greek restaurant as far as ambience. The only sound inside was coming from a TV showing a baseball game. I ordered the Gyros platter, Chicken Souvlaki Platter, and Greek fries. I was disappointed in the rice and the Gyros platter. Their lamb and beef tasted like it had been sitting for a while, and it did not
Fantastic and authentic Greek eats! The lamb was cooked to perfection, the gyro had the perfect amount of tzatziki sauce, and the in house hot sauces were delicious!!! Unusually, the green was hotter than the red, but both had delicious and unique flavors making it impossible for me to pick a favorite (what a wonderful problem to have). Highly recommend!
My daughter was house sitting and said "dad, I found this cool place downtown called Troy. It's greek." Hecknya! Let's check it out. Servers were nice and attentive, food was amazing and the vibe was super chill. Loved it. I only managed one Pic of the feta cheese appetizer because I inhaled the schwarma wrap. Great little place
