STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good food in a casual-nice ambiance. We decided to pop in for a quick drink and nosh based on some friends' recommendation. The place had a roomy open interior and appealing dark wood throughout. We sat ourselves at the bar and ordered the Spanakopita and Hummus with regular and gluten free pita. They had housemade hot sauces (red and green) that were were excellent. With friendly service as well, it's a winner! read more

I ordered a chicken plate for takeout. For a single plate, the total was $23. It took a while to get my food when I entered. It had been prepared before I arrived, so the fact that it had been sitting may have impacted the taste. However, the plate itself was almost entirely rice, with a bit of chicken and zucchini. The zucchini was wet and flavorless, and the few pieces of chicken were hard and dry. For what it's worth, the rice was good, but I didn't finish it all. I thought it was too expensive for the quality and quantity of food I ended up receiving. read more

4+ stars $21 Gyro Platter: it might be the homemade green hot sauce talking, but this was truly excellent. I walked in uncertain if wanted Greek; I left finding a good restaurant. $7 Mythos Beer: lager. Its refreshing! I quite like this style. read more

We got three falafel wraps, a small Greek salad, and the fries, as lunch takeout for about $65. The wraps were nice sized, actually all the portions were very good. The bread tasted very fresh and the overall flavor mix in the wraps was well distributed (unlike another very hyped local falafel option). The fries were also very fresh and crispy. I think we'll be back! read more

Excellent staff here, friendly and attentive. Cool space on Solano Ave. Food was similar to other location of Troy Greek location in Martinez. Relaxed atmosphere. My advice, sit at the bar and watch tv with an adult beverage. read more

Some vegan options. Had the impossible platter in the past and it was enjoyable. This trip, liked the lentil soup to start. Then Greek salad with no feta and side of 4 falafel. Falafel were decent size and not small pebbles. Crispy on outside and soft inside without being mushy. Added nice hefty to the salad. Usually there because of non vegan companion eater, so limited choices. Friendly service and effective though not very busy at early dinner hour. read more

Disappointed after being a consistent customer. The service was abysmal. Service stumbled out with my two soups in hand as if he were carrying a dog bowl. His fingers were on the lips of the bowl with the suit washing up and touching his fingertips. He stopped by to see How things were going after we've finished. My drink was empty for almost 20 minutes before anyone said a word, and it was another server. The french fries were quite tasty, but the beefs of lucky was a sloppy wet mess. Not sure what's happened here, but things have definitely taken a turn for the worse. Might be my last visit to this restaurant after dining here many times. read more

While in Alameda on business I decided to try Troy Greek Cuisine via Uber Eats. I was hoping for some juicy chicken souvlaki after a long day, but what I got was subpar. When my order arrived, I quickly tried the chicken and it was quite dry- the sauce was my only savior. The chicken platter was served with pita, tomato/zucchini, yellow rice and their tzatziki. The star of the show was their falafel balls! They were packed with moisture and were flavorful! I won't be rushing back. read more

Troy Greek Cuisine - Chicken Souvlaki and Falafel - Greek Near Me - Berkeley, California

I used to recommend this restaurant to all of my friends as the ONE Greek restaurant serving truly authentic Greek cuisine. I have personal experience so my friends believed me & like me gave it excellent reviews. BUT one month ago they changed their menu; unfortunately, my meal tonite was one of the worst & most expensive I have ever had. I mistakenly ordered a Lamb Souvlaki gyro thinking it was my long time fav. What I was served was a large pita filled with tzatziki sauce & tons of lettuce. After opening up the wrap, I had to search to find the 4 tiny thin shreds of lamb ... hardly even a TBSP + 2 slices of tomatoes. If there were onions as listed on the description, I couldn't locate them. I also ordered the garlic fries; what I got was pale undercooked thick recently frozen fries with a very thin topping of a bit of melted cheese & no garlic even tho they were called garlic fries. I had to drown them in ketchup. For a total of $22.00 ( $14.00 for gyro + $8.00 for the fries) I left hungry since I didn't want to fill up on the pita or eat the undercooked fries. Sorry Troy; I realize times are hard & profits almost nil but I don't want to eat pita stuffed with lettuce which I can make at home with store bought items that taste the same for far less! My husband's dinner platter looked better for $24.00 & the lemon soup, a staple, fortunately remain unchanged, but regretfully, I can no longer recommend Troy as I no longer have confidence in the quality of the new menu items OR the cooks.

I love to come here for their gyro combo platter as well as the gyro ceasar salad. (requested to have the meat crispy). The ambiance is fine, a little more noisy as you go further in tho. Since my family and are are somewhat regulars, we tend to order the same food and have the same server who remembers our orders. Pretty easy going place with reasonable price. read more

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. read more

I walked in at 8:29 on a Saturday night and the host said "I hope you don't want to eat here." As he was carrying a bag out. I asked if he closed at 9 and he said yes, but the kitchen is already closed so I can sit there, but that's it. Not even 8:30 pm. People were still dining Saturday January 24, 2026. read more

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. read more

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,.

Ambiance nice, clean, kitchen is open you can walk over and see them cook your food, & causal dress. We ordered chicken shwarma wrap and a gyro mixed meat and lamb. Very flavorful,nice fresh vegetables and the red and green sauces homemade were delicious, especially the milder red one. Wait was worth the wraps. Only set back was paying for meter parking. read more

This is a nice quiet place to grab dinner on upper Solano Avenue if you like Greek food. The service is friendly, they offer a few local craft beers on tap, in addition to bottled Greek beer and you can catch the game on TV while you dine. I prefer their gyro meat to the chicken when I order a plate, but whatever you get don't forget to add their fries. They are seasoned before frying so you can eat these without ketchup. Their house-made red and green hot sauces are a nice addition to whatever you order as well. read more

Troy Greek Cuisine - Mediterranean plate including Chicken Souvlaki, Small Horiatiki Salad, Hummus, rice, and pita - Greek Near Me - Berkeley, California

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. read more

Best chicken wrap in the Bay Area. Consistent, reliable, fresh. Works perfectly with my Mediterranean diet. Love this place! read more

Food was plentiful and nice. The acoustics were deafening and it was cold though. Might have been fine if I didn't want to talk to anyone. There was a party of 10 about 20 feet away and no other customers at that time. Should not have been that untenable noisewise read more

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. read more

My wife's 70th birthday happened at the end of January, 2026. 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!" read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I came here with my son for a late lunch. We were a little skeptical because there was only 1 table occupied. We figured that it just might be the time of day. Good thing we decided to take a chance. I had a falafel wrap and my son had a chicken shawarma wrap. We were both delighted with our meal. The falafel was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It was perfect. The pita was soft and chewy. My son loved his dish as well. The service was great too. Glad we decided to come in. read more

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.

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.

All of their items are very savory and fresh. They also have fast and friendly service.

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. read more

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. read more

***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! read more

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.

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! read more

I tried the gyros wrap. It was very good, not as good as I have had in Los Angeles. Service was fine.

This is a nice family restaurant to take your children, the staff are very friendly. The problem is, for the type of food and casual experience you get, it has become very overpriced. It is very basic food and yet it is comparable in pricing to places that have skilled chefs. They also claim that their Lipton tea is Greek tea which is false advertising. They almost never give you enough pita, and their food is often bland. It doesn't take a lot of effort or skill just to make sure that your rice and veggies are seasoned properly / have a little bit of oil and salt in it. Lamb souvlaki often overcooked. The pastitio and avgolemono soup are yummy. read more
