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

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!

Crest review: Troy Greek delivers a solid dining experience. The flavors are vibrant, and the sauces are an absolute standout—rich, flavorful, and truly memorable. The service is impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel well cared for. While the Greek salad was a bit on the smaller side, the quality of ingredients and overall attention to detail more than make up for it. A great spot for those who appreciate excellent service and bold Mediterranean flavors!

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.

Best fries on Solano. All the servers are really nice. This is an establishment with all male servers, so to all the North Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito women - including all of us older white women - it definitely adds to the ambiance.

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 was positive and the food exceeded our expectations. We're definitely coming back for more, especially the gyros, and are excited to explore the rest of the menu
