    I ordered the beef and lamb plate and dined in. The salad was fresh and the meat is cut into small bite-sized pieces. I was given a complimentary cup of tea as well. My plate came with a small amount of yogurt sauce, which tasted fresh. Food flavor was alright, but can use a little more seasoning. I would like the meat to be a little softer. Service was quick and the food came out quickly. This is a small restaurant with limited seating inside.

    Casual spot in Berkeley for some delicious Mediterranean food. My friend and I came by Saturday evening for dinner, and it wasn't too crowded at 7 pm. You can either try to find paid metered parking nearby, or there's free residential street parking if you're willing to walk a couple blocks. There's a Trader Joe's across the street, but not sure if they offer parking. It's a small space with 6-7 tables. The menu is straightforward with two pages of options. They have all the standard fare such as rice plates and wraps. I got one of the house specials - Alexander's Favorite - for $18.95. It comes with thinly sliced lamb and beef gyro with bread cubes in fresh tomato sauce. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was really delicious. I really liked the crunchy bread cube bites mixed in with the gyro and rice, and the tomato sauce was super tasty. Portions were big too, I couldn't finish the dish and took the leftovers home. My friend got the chicken shish kabob with rice and salad for $17.95. I tried a bite and we both agreed it was solid. We ended the meal on a sweet note with some baklava for $5.95. We're both huge fans of baklava, and this was some of the best we've had in a long time. Would recommend getting it here!

    For flavor and juiciness of the meats I give 3.5 stars. However, +0.5 star for complimentary tea and the basket of pita bread. I ordered at the counter and table seating is limited but no one was there near closing time. The staff is friendly and I didn't feel rushed. Quick hits: + Combo platter is truly a little bit of everything which I am glad I did so I can tell you what's good here (5 stars) + Adana kebab plate has ground lamb and is the most juicy of all items (4.5 stars) + Lamb gyro is tender slices of meat that goes really well with the white tzatziki sauce (4 stars) + Beef or lamb kebab (?) is good but not tender enough (3.5 stars) + Chicken kebab is on the lean side so it's healthy but not juicy for my liking (3 stars) + Chicken gyro meat is also dry but a great source of healthy protein (3 stars) - I think a bit more sauce or side of hummus with the combo platter to help with the dryness would of made this a 5 star meal I have a high standard for Mediterranean style food. I love Greek, Persian and Turkish foods. I hope I'm not too harsh since this is a casual dining establishment.

    This small restaurant near campus serves some of the best Mediterranean food I've had! I recommend the hummus and babaganoush, which both taste great with the pita bread. The wraps are fantastic here, and the plates are just as good. We like the lamb and beef gyro wrap, the Adena kebab wrap, and the chicken gyros wrap. But you also have to try the lamb and beef gyro plate, the chicken gyro plate, the chicken shish kebab plate, and the Alexander's Favorite plate, which is a special. You can top it all off with one of their stellar desserts: the baklava, kunefe, or rice pudding. In my opinion, you should keep coming back until you've tried them all! I don't think you'll regret it! The service here is fantastic. The staff are so friendly that you can tell how much pride they take in sharing their delicious recipes with the community in Berkeley. The dining area is small but very pretty. With large windows that they sometimes cover and some very nice artwork, it's an appetizing and peaceful place to eat. It's yummy, affordable, and a great place to bring friends and family for a satisfying and fun meal!

    Came here after a hike for lunch and we were disappointed with the quality of meat. I didn't really enjoy the food. It was just OK. Service was fast and servers were nice though. Place was clean and organized.

    10/10. Came to the area for a food tour and this was our first stop. 3 of us shared a plate and side of hummus...we left full and very happy! From service to meal, everything was excellent. Authentic Mediterranean flavors, fresh and colorful, with perfectly grilled and juicy chicken kebabs. Their hummus was equally amazing, had a bright yellow color and lighter texture than what I'm used to but now it's my new fav hummus. It's small and quaint inside with enough seating for small groups. Will come back for sure!

    Chicken Gyro Plate - 9/10 rating

    We unexpectedly based our plans to be in Berkeley for most of the afternoon/evening. We wanted some good Mediterranean food and Berkeley is one of the best cities to eat Mediterranean food. Therefore, we came across Rojbas Grill. I am genuinely so happy we did! I would go back for sure. *Overview: Food: 8/10 rating Service: 10/10 rating Ambiance: 7/10 rating *What we ordered: Dolma (4pcs) Chicken Gyro Plate Adana Kebab Plate FOOD: 8/10 rating The food was so flavorful. The proteins were juicy, seasoned well, and tender. I love how they served a platter of piping hot soft pita bread. It paired so well with our food. I was shocked by the complimentary hot tea served post-meal. It was not an average brewed Lipton tea. The tea was a yummy subtle herbal tea and perfect for digestion since we were so full. SERVICE: 10/10 rating The waiter was SO attentive. He was not overdoing it as well. He was very chill, kind, and attentive without us asking. He refilled our napkins and water without us asking. It bothers me when people say "It's their job and also they're just being nice for more tips". But, you can always tell when it's genuine! Ambiance: 7/10 rating I love how "homey" the ambiance is. Rojbas Grill has a lot of intricate details on their curtains, artifacts, etc. My favorite pieces were the Mandala art hung up on the walls. Parking can be decent. There is a lot of meter-based parking. However, on a busy weekend, it can be hard to find parking.

    Excellent restaurant! Stopped in for lunch on Sunday and the service was super friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered the combo plate, the lamb kebabs and the baklava for dessert. Yum! Located across the street from Trader Joe's. I can see this quickly becoming my go to lunch spot every time I'm headed to pick up groceries.

There's a corner liquor store next door so if you want to try your luck and buy a scratcher while dining or picking up food to go, here's a perfect location to kill two birds with one stone. First time visiting this joint and I was impressed! The protein (chicken) was not overcooked and had the right amount of flavor. They wrap their delicious chicken shawarma's tighter than a burrito! Next to the cashier on the left is a little window of Turkish delight (sweets). I ordered the red-velvet + orange + lemon flavored treats. Looked appealing, but after I took a bit of the red velvet, everything stuck to my teeth and had to do extra work with the dental scalpel. It's like layers of hardened fruit roll up with molasses of the flavor. The cahier did warn me that this was sweet with a small side eye that I shoulda caught right away bc I did go in for quite the surprise. Ambience and customer service was on point. They offered for us to sit in the outdoor dining, but we ended up taking our order to go. Stop by this joint when you're in town, you won't be disappointed!

We tried their stuff falafel plate that comes with rice, hummus, salad and one pita. We never had a stuffed falafel before so this was pretty good. Lots of flavor from the onions inside and super crunchy. Reminded me of fried chicken. The rice was very fluffy but a little bland. The hummus was good and not too salty. What I like about this place is that none of the food is too salty which tends to be the case in a lot of places with Mediterranean food like Troy and Zaytoon where I frequent. It is very unusual that the food is low sodium. The salad was the worst part because it was limp and tasted cheap. I really enjoyed their pita here because it was chewy and crunchy at the same time. Maybe the pita was whole wheat because it was darker than most. We did toast it before we ate it. You can add a dollar and get extra rice or hummus and we added both extra rice and hummus. The portion size is relatively generous although you only get three falafels. I added some olives to make the rice less bland. That's the nice thing about taking food home to eat because you can doctor it. Overall, we enjoyed the food. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back but will definitely visit when in the area. This is a busy area and can be difficult to find parking.

I got an assortment of Turkish delight and some pistachio baklava ($2.99). The Turkish delight is sold by weight across all the varieties and goes for $16.99/lb. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and offered us a sample of one of the flavors to try which I thought was a nice gesture. Everything looked so good, so we picked a couple different pieces of Turkish delight to try. To my surprise, my favorite ended up being the saffron, though rose petal with pomegranate and sour cherry with pastachio were close seconds. I didn't like the coconut or the chocolate one that much, so reminder to myself to skip those next time. After picking up the dessert, I did a quick circle around the store to see what they had.

The market itself is a treasure trove: shelves filled with Middle Eastern dry goods, nuts, dried fruits, spices, blends, and condiments you can't find anywhere else. Kofta, shish kebab, falafel, sumac, garam masala -- it's all here. They also carry pita, lavash, labna, and other breads and yogurts that make cooking from scratch feel like heaven. Bonus points for the large assortments of delicious house made baklavas! Even without a full kitchen, the prepared foods are excellent. I ordered falafel, eggplant dip, hummus, and cucumber salad from the to‑go counter -- a mini feast for $26 that didn't disappoint. **Verdict:** Courteous service, respectful staff, and a fantastic selection. Whether you're cooking at home or grabbing a bite, this place is a gem. Highly recommended.

Not sure if they were having a bad day, and we came on the wrong night, but that should not be any excuse. I use to frequent their old location, and have yet to go back since they moved. First attempt at the new location, I tried to come with 2 girl friends for an early lunch on a Monday at 11am. Their hours say they open at 10:30am, but it was 11:20am, and their doors were locked and the people inside said they were closed. Second attempt was on a Sunday evening at 6pm. We were 2 families totaling 8 people. We told the hostess/server our party size, and almost immediately, she did not seem too happy about it. That is when the attitude began. We looked around, and noticed that there were about 2 or 3 other tables of 2-3 people dining, so it was not like they were busy. We were really taken back by her reaction and tone, which made us worry about the service the rest of the night. We got seated, looked at the menu, and let her know we were ready to order. We were curious and had a few quick questions, such as which is popular and which type of meat comes in the plate (because it did not specify), but her responses were very rude. She even tried to give an attitude saying we could not change what comes on the plate, when in fact we were just adding to the order. She was just so quick to try to find a problem to speak on that she did not realize it was an addition. I started to get upset. I truly tried to keep my calm, but it was really hard with the way she was speaking. Food took pretty long to come out even though they were not busy. Good thing we were not in a rush. We noticed that the people next to us ordered before us, but our food came out first, so we felt bad. Then when their food did come out, I believe something was wrong, so they had to wait a little more. Although the food was decent, the service ruined the entire experience. For that reason, I would not go back.

    My wife's 70th birthday happened at the end of January, 2026…read more We have eaten at Troy many times and always enjoyed the entire experience, so she decided to investigate Troy's catering options so there would be meat and vegetables options to suit all our guests' preferences, with the obvious bonus that all the choices would be equally appealing because Mediterranean food is awesome! Husam was our main contact and assisted us with making our choices, and Iris was very helpful in ensuring that our pickup time was adjusted to fit the busy schedule that we had on the morning of the party. She also confirmed our request for extra Red Chili and Jalapeno Garlic sauce. For those curious, the Red Chili sauce is the milder of the two, but both are savory and great on almost anything! Here is what we ordered, which was anticipated to feed 40 guests: 1 Full Tray of Moussaka 1 Full Tray of Pastitsio 2 Combo Appetizer Trays 1 Chicken Souvlaki 1 Beef Souvlaki 1 Lamb Souvlaki It was an immense amount of food, and it was all DELICIOUS. The souvlaki disappeared first, and both full trays of the Moussaka and Pastitsio received significant dents! The appetizer trays had large falafel balls that were thankfully cut in half, dolmas, a mountain of pita bread, and multiple pint containers, two each of hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, and the Red Chili and Jalapeno Garlic sauce. The pickup from Troy was a breeze, and we absolutely lucked out by getting a parking spot directly in front of the restaurant on Solano, which anyone who lives locally will tell you is no small feat on a Saturday morning! Husam kindly helped me carry everything out to our car. My one suggestion to anyone who is ordering catering, especially if you get a half or full tray of either the Moussaka and/or Pastitsio, bring a baking sheet to support each tray. While the trays are made from thick aluminum, the weight will make the bottom sag a little, and it will likely be too hot to support with your bare hands. All our guests raved about all the food, and we are still happily enjoying leftovers of everything for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a week and after! Husam, thank you and Iris SO much for all your help! We are deeply grateful, and we look forward to seeing both of you again! "Zoi mas!"
