This is my kind of place. A hole in the wall in a small strip mall with limited parking. Décor is minimal but their focus is on the food. Their menu is simple. Choose: Wrap, salad, or plate Choose: Kofte Kabab, Beef Doner, Chicken Tantuni, Grill Chicken, Beef Iskender, Beef meatballs, Seasoned Beef, Diced Breast You are done. I chose the Iskender plate. It comes with seasoned rice, diced toasted pita covered in Beef doner slices, topped with a tomato sauce and finished at the table with a drizzle of melted butter. There was a huge dollop of yogurt on the side. The plate also comes with free Turkish tea and to end the meal, a Turkish dessert pudding (Tavukgogsu). You order at the counter than find a seat. They have a large communal table in the center with 2 or 4 person tables to the side. Yes, that empty space in the corner is for live music. There were two ladies in the kitchen cooking like there was no tomorrow. Two gentlemen manned the front section. Both of these men were smiling constantly, genuine smiles. The Turkish tea is brought to your table and the waiting begins. Since all the food is cooked after you order it, it does take a while to prepare. It took about twenty minutes and my plate was ready. First bite is the rice, perfectly seasoned. I know it is only butter and salt but bland rice is not worth eating. Next fork is a combo of a piece of pita, beef and tomato sauce. Wonderful flavors. The slight crunch of the pita, a beautiful char on the doner, and the tomato sauce added to the doner taste. I finished my entire plate. We were served another cup of tea while we waited for dessert. After waiting for 10 minutes, we decide to leave. That is when we were sent back to our seats for the desserts. They delivered what looked like a white flan. A spoon full told me this was a milk pudding. Almost a rice pudding without the rice. Not too sweet nor fatty. The price per person was about $10.00 each. The reason for only 4 stars is the inconsistency. I believe my plate was to come with a salad. It didn't. The delay after we finished to get our dessert. It wasn't crowded but there was constant running back to the kitchen because they forgot something read more

The food is really good. Service impeccable. It is by a gas station so don´t expect super ambiance. But I have been there 5 times and every time I would give it 5 stars. read 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! read more

On a quest for authentic flavor - Troy is something distinct for sure. Right at the entrance, their humbling presence is just a start! I tried their İskender kebap and and let me tell you, it is a mix of flavors worth trying over and over. The Buklava is also a must, especially for those with a sweet tooth - simple and delicious. And let's not forget, the humus, . Lastly, I had the chance to try Ayran, which is a yogurt based beverage, which has taste of something like a yogurt beer. While my taste buds may not completely understand the Ayran flavor just yet, I definitely appreciate the experience and will have to try it again to mature the buds haha. read more

It was a busy day, it was staring to rain and we needed food. We looked for restaurants nearby and took a chance here. Turkey has one of the best cuisines I have tasted. Apart from Turkey's history and culture, the food is something alone you could travel there for. I never thought I would taste that again but here at this restaurant was authentic Turkish food in Austin!!! I would definitely recommend coming here. read more

Troy ATX - Turkish Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

Decided to give this a try for takeout since I was in the neighborhood. Ordered online and contactless pickup was seamless. People who run it are lovely and everyone was wearing masks and gloves, everything felt super safe. With the sole exception of the Kofta.The food was disappointing, I'm sad to say. Got the Beef Iksander based on the recs here and it basically tasted of mushy meatloaf. The dips didn't taste like anything, and the chicken and rice were both very underseasoned. I wanted to love it, but I'll stick with Abo Youssef, Phoenicia, Mediterranean Chef when Mezze cravings hit again. read more

Very cute Mediterranean spot. Very different meats to choose from and vegetarian options as well. Everything was made fresh to order. I ad the falafels which were quite tasty. Not overly greasy. My friend had the meatballs and they were super juicy and my other friend had the chicken which was incredibly flavorful and tender. Not dry at all. Every dish came with a side of rice and salad and the rice was the STAR of the entire meal. So perfect. Would def recommend. read more

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! read more

amazing experience - even better food, will recommend to anyone craving turkish food, so happy to have met Khan during my visit, the mezze platter is all homemade and the lab chops were so tender and delicious. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Excellent Mediterranean food. I've been consistently disappointed at many spots throughout Austin. This however is simple, authentic and delicious. Well rounded and well worth it. I had the lamb and my partner had the beef (forgetting the names) and we split the Mezze platter. I particularly enjoyed their baba ghanouj and the pitas were fresh and tasty. Highly recommend going to even if out of the way. It'll be worth it. read more

Why this place has a 4 1/2 star rating is beyond me. The owners are incredible, the food is amazing. I have not had a bad meal here at all. It's truly authentic Turkish food I'm updating the review because they updated their menu. Ordered the salmon and it was amazing, I wish I could add stars, the food is outstanding, the service is great, I love this place. read more

You must try the chicken tantuni! It is flavorful, white pieces of chicken cut up and cooked with some veggies. The dish also comes with a salad and rice, which makes the dish come together perfectly. read more

I was there to taste their food after many positive feedbacks from my friends. And they were right. Their meat selection is decent, and very tasty. It is all unique Turkish style kebab, all I can say. Also I drink best Ayran in town there, period. If you want Turkish kebab, this is the place in town to go. read more

The flavors are profiles are correct but the portions are too small. We were in Turkey at the beginning of year and I think we recognize what Turkish food is. I have always respected Turkish cuisine and the deep history but I wish the portions were bigger. How much does it cost to make decent portions for the given price? read more

Beautiful and artistic place! Had the pleasure to have dinner here today and everything was delicious

One of my favorite go to place in Austin. Food is always great. Service is always friendly. Love it.

Ate at Troy ATX today and had an amazing meal. Turkish coffee, Turkish delights, traditional dishes, baklava that was light and flaky. Keep up the great work! read more

At the corner of Spicewood Springs and Mesa, this local eatery offers TOP QUALITY food and ingredients! Home cooked Mediterranean dishes and lunch classics such as grilled chicken salad are all perfectly seasoned and cooked to order by Chef Joseph. The Turkish coffee and teas add an authentic touch to the meal. Although Troy has been in business for two years, it's a hidden gem that always has something fresh and special! read more

Excellent service , authentic food and absolutely amazing Turkish coffee and dessert.

Really good food. Everything fresh, well made and with great flavor. The service is friendly and welcoming, although they can get overwhelmed at times. The decor is pretty bare bones, but there are some Turkish touches to give you a little sense of place. It might not be my choice for a big night out, but for a good meal of authentic Turkish food, it definitely would. read more

Great food and friendly service. Can't ask for more! They had Turkish music on which gave the whole experience a very authentic middle eastern feel. I ordered the falafel plate - it came with falafel, rice and salad. Saksuka was served with light and fluffy pita bread. I would definitely visit again. read more

Will definitely be coming back. read more

I've dined here a number of times and I can't believe I haven't drop a review on Troy. I'll admit that I don't know jack about Turkish food ( I do love Turkish coffee aka rocket fuel) but I do like ethnic fare especially when it's spiced perfectly. This is a family run intimate venue so take a seat at a picnic table rub elbows with your fellow diners and just enjoy their wonderful food. Everything is homemade and with their open kitchen you can watch your lunch being prepared and plated. Their kebabs, gyros, and Combo plates are all fabulous. I'm in love with the subtle Turkish spices and if you are a heat seeker their sauces will satisfy. I believe I've been here 4-5 times and I have never been disappointed. Let's talk service. It's great! If you are not sure what to order ask. Want to add something to your plate just ask, no problems. Having the owner come by and sincerely ask if you enjoyed your lunch is a great touch. Be aware parking can be a hassle as this strip mall has kind of a weird setup. 5 Stars for Troy!! read more

Such good vibes and food here. Relaxing decor. The lady that took care if us reminded me of my immigrant mom. Super sweet. Food was quality and didn't leave me feel sick and full but was delish all the same! Will be back! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Food is amazing and absolutely delicious!! It's not only tasty but also very healthy and comfort food. We had Meze Plate, Gyro, Garides Saganaki(Sauteed prawns). I loved everything!! Prawns are on point! I love their atmosphere. This place is very clean and Staffs are very welcoming. MUST TRY!!!! read more

Ordered an $8 gyro wrap on Grubhub for pickup as it was on my way to work. It was pretty good, not life changing, but it was better than going for fast food that's for sure. Definitely didn't get the full Troy experience so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and give them 4*. Not sure I'll ever sit down here for a meal since it's not near me, but you never know. read more

Super disappointed and confused. I ordered lamb and what I received was some sloppy cafeteria mixture of lamb with gross taste and bland. Came with rice, not at all what the pictures dictated which was a kabob and highly recommended. Even the eggplant was gross tasting and the quantity of food was minimal for the cost. I chose this place bc of the good reviews and bc I've had amazing Turkish food before.. This was a serious let down. I don't know if it's bc it was a takeout order or if they changed ownership or what ? but see pics attached, 100% not worth the money. Just so disappointed. read more

Troy is an authentic Turkish restaurant tucked away behind a gas station. Hard to find, but worth the find! Appetizer: The hummus, saksuka (eggplant dip, not same as the Israeli shakshuka), and falafels all make delightful appetizers. I could have eaten just saksuka for my lunch- it was so well rounded in taste. Mains: I've tried the falafel plate, lamb kavurma, and kofte kabab plates. Falafels are nice & crispy, six to a plate. The lamb kavurma is stewed lamb meat and wonderfully seasoned. The Kofte Kababs are mildly spicy (made infinitely better - imo - by their spicy sauce) and shaped like small beef patties. All plates come with salad and rice, with a few options for substitutions. Dessert: The baklava is delicious and really well made. Two pieces to an order. Definitely get these. Coffee: Finally, my favorite part, Turkish Coffee! If you haven't had Turkish coffee before, prepare for some bitterness, and plenty of grounds at the bottom. It feels like a coffee ceremony, served on traditional platters with Turkish delites and chilled water. (see pics!) In all, a delicious and reasonably priced lunch venue. Drink service can be slow if they only have one person on waitstaff, but is much better when there are two. read more

Experiencing a meal at Troy ATX is so cozy! This family restaurant serves amazing Mediterranean food and I can't get enough!! Everything that I had, both from my plate and others', was spectacular. My mouth felt like it was in heaven when I had the Mezze platter. Please come here if you want good food and atmosphere!! My only complaint is that their restrooms are not gender-inclusive, but I will gladly hold my bladder for this delicious food. If they made their bathrooms more inclusive, I would come here with all of my non-cisgender friends! read more

5 stars for the Iskender alone. You really have to try Iskender if you haven't before. I don't think there's anywhere else in the Austin area serving this either, since Turquoise Grill closed. Everything is just prepared really well and it tastes very authentic. My friend disagreed with me but he's Persian so he probably doesn't know what he's talking about. My only gripe is that there is no feta in the side greek salad. Just put a little feta, please! read more

The food was fresh and from what we were told it is all made from scratch. The owner served us and cooked the food. He was so sweet and made us feel very welcomed. Even the kofte kebabs are hand rolled and seasoned in the morning. I ordered the chicken plate, that came with salad and rice. This was a good choice for a fresh hot lunch on the go. The hot tea and baklava was a nice finish. About $10 price point for a lunch plate that is filling. Oh and I did try their version of the carrot dip, sorry forgot the name of it but that was delicious if you like yogurt type dips! It came with hot fresh pita bread and had a hint of garlic in it. Very casual place, good service and authentic Turkish food whats not to like? read more

I popped in right before close at lunch. This spot is Randomly off the side of a gas station. The owner was there making food in this adorable clearly self decorated space. It had a cozy feel that made you feel at home. I ordered the combination platter which was recommended. The food was incredible! Chicken and gyro were extremely fresh, well seasoned and light. The best item I tried were the meatballs! I honestly paused after trying these just to savor them. I wasn't expecting them to be so good. These are probably the best meatballs in town! Such Genuine service, I can't wait to go back! I've added to place to my must visit list for friends and family when they come to town. read more

Great place with a local feel. Authentic Mediterranean food and friendly, attentive service.

Checked this place out for lunch because I'm a fan of Turkish food and have been on a quest for patlijan since eating it in Istanbul (disclaimer: this place doesn't have any). We got the havuc tarama, the beef doner salad, and the beef doner wrap. The havuc tarama was good, kinda like a hummus dip, but with carrots, sour cream, walnuts, and lots of garlic. The bread they served it with wasn't pita though they called it that, more of a chewy fluffy naan (it was good, just wouldn't call it pita bread). My salad was simple and tasty, but the beef doner meat was kinda questionable (processed and not really well-spiced). The wrap didn't come with much, just bread with the same meat and no side or anything. The place itself is pretty cute, but could be improved with (1) Turkish music, (2) fries with the wrap, and (3) PATLIJANNNN. read more

My brother and I needed a quick spot for lunch, while we were attending a conference in Austin. We stumbled upon Troy, because I wanted a place with healthy options. It was fantastic!! We ended up going back for 3 out of 5 lunches.... we missed one day because they were closed on Monday and the other because we didn't discover Troy until our 2nd day. My brother got the Gyro wrap every day. He loved it. I got the Gyro plate, the Kofte Kebab plate, and the Lamb Kavurma plate. They were all great, but I think the Gyro plate and Kavurma were my favorite. The family are very kind, patient and always smiling. The ambiance is small, but fun. It can get a bit loud if a big group comes in, which does happen from time to time. It is just excellent food, quick service, and great options for almost any dietary needs. They do have veggie options, but I am all carnivore. read more
