Food was great. Had the Turkish Gyro. Each one is custom made. It arrived in a reasonable time even though several people preceded me. I did want water to drink. The drink cooler did not have any in it. I was told there were some "in the back" but the counter person did not offer to get one for me. She did bring some out to put into the cooler but I was nearly done eating at that point. read more

AMAZING food, so flavorful and fresh! The owner is so kind, he gave us some chicken for our dog. 100% recommend giving this spot a visit!

Had a great first experience but today felt off. Busy rush but people were getting their orders made in different orders of being served. Took about 30 minutes to get meal after ordering at counter. Asked to pay before picking the custom add ons. And even though we were dining in they wrapped it so I couldn't do my food photography outside as I enjoy. The sandwich itself was solid but by the time we got it we were kind of bummed and behind schedule. read more

Troy Grille - Chicken shawarma rice bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Kent, Ohio

Overall happy Could offer forks....deep plastic spoon was hard to eat with Drinks too expensive and was expecting bread to taste more homemade than mass produced Favorite was lamb kabob....very nice flavor and texture read more

Like kabobs but toppongs are not that tasty for me. Maybe next time try to take some toppings off will do better. read more

The food was amazing and the staff was very nice and accommodating. The lamb may have been the best lamb I've ever had in my life.

The pita bread and hummus were rly good.. Butttt.. maybe could use a menu guide to suggest what toppings go good with what meats and stuff. I know it's a popular menu item, but to me the Istanbul chicken kinda tasted like chef boyardi sauce. To each their own. read more

Food was good, bathroom was clean, staff was friendly. Quiet atmosphere. Will be back with wife.

I really wanted to like this place. unfortunately it was not that great. The tables were sticky the floors were sticky in general the entire place was dirty. The food was average. The hummus was probably the worst hummus I've ever had in my life. Completely flavorless and tasted water down even though what appeared to be the owner and cookk said he just made a fresh batch and was taking it out of the mixer. I don't think there was any garlic or seasoning in it at all. This is not a sit down type of restaurant. This is more like a fast food restaurant. You order your food and then you take it and sit down yourself. I asked for a glass of water and was told that they don't give water. But that I must buy a bottled water that was almost $2. dollars. Eventually they did give me a glass of water. That's ridiculous a restaurant where you can't get a glass of tapwater. They have fresh lemonades that they make so we bought one of those. When we sat down to drink it, it was a block of ice. It was completely frozen. We were not offered a different one that wasn't completely frozen. This is definitely a typical college town,hole in the wall, small type of local restaurant. I won't be going back. read more

Such a cute little gem we found. This restaurant has so much charm when you first walk in with their creative menu board that made ordering so much easier. Casual sitting area inside but we opted for the outside sidewalk tables they had. Burgers were amazing, you can taste the high quality of the beef. Definitely come here if you're in the area. read more

Delicious and super filling. The vibe is nice here, ordering can be a bit awkward especially when it's your first time here, but it's a great place! read more

Always fresh - special orders expected and they knock it out! Small place but on a nice day? Great to people watch outside

When you order, it's kind of chipotle style where you pick the toppings you want. If you haven't tried kofte before, I highly recommend it. It's a meatball that was a beef/lamb mixture. The kofte pita and Troy is really tasty. The falafel pita was good too, but I there were only about 3 pieces of falafel. I feel like similar restaurants in the area give you pita chips or rice as a side with your pita/wrap, and they don't do that here. It's more a la carte I suppose, which can get pricey. I had the pita and a side of falafel with no drink and it was about $12. One thing I love is that when you walk in, they have a picture of every meal there, which is great for someone who has never tried this type of food. I'm still partial to those other similar Greek/Mediterranean/Turkish restaurants, but I still enjoy Troy. Realistically at a 3.5 probably. read more

Troy is a favorite place for my wife & I to visit after a long bike ride (we enjoy being able to sit outdoors & eat our meal). We absolutely LOVE the fact that we can pick the "extras" to go on our selection. I am of middle-eastern descent (Lebanese); my dad was an excellent cook, especially the way he could prepare lamb. Most restaurants cannot come close to preparing lamb the way I remember my father doing it. So many times I have ordered a lamb dish, only to be disappointed by the quality of the cut and/or preparation. Troy, however, prepares their lamb in a way very reminiscent of the way my father did. So much so that Troy is now the only restaurant where I will order lamb. Once a week (except winter) I bike with friends I worked with (we are all retired for several years now). When in Kent for lunch, they often like to pick different places to eat. Many times I "bike over" to Troy, get my meal, then "bike back over" to where my friends are eating (not the best etiquette to bring in another restaurant's food, but no one has yet to take exception to me doing so). For me, there is only one restaurant in Kent to visit, and that is Troy. read more

Delicious! Love their falafel pitas and brownies! Owner is an incredibly nice. read more

I love this place! The food is absolutely delicious and actually nutritious. Surprisingly, one of my favorite menu items is the mousaka burger and the golden burger! The chicken Istanbul is another favorite if you want something different that you've likely never tried before. Definitely my go-to place if I don't feel like making dinner or want a casual lunch/dinner with my friends or family! read more

Do you like chicken with ketchup? Try the chicken Istanbul. It's a best seller, but probably only because it's labeled as such and people are suckers for anything loaded with cheese. Hummus, pretty decent. Smooth, mild flavor. Tzatziki sauce, decent. Good ratio of herbs and cucumbers to yogurt. Halloumi cheese was tasty, served with green apples as a nice compliment. Rice was slightly more plump than it should have been. BUT, as much as I was excited to get something different and enjoy some middle eastern food.... this wasn't a spot to which I will ever return. You simply cannot make up a dish like "chicken Istanbul" and still be proud of your cooking. Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it was like bad sloppy joes with chicken. read more

We tried this place because of the positive reviews and it did not disappoint! Super friendly service and a nice, authentic, casual atmosphere. Great prices for the amount and quality of food. The Chicken Istanbul is amazing! We had it as a wrap and it was delicious! The veggie plate is a must if you like hummus and you want to try all the side dishes! I ordered the Chicken Kabob and the Chicken was cooked to perfection and super flavorful! I live in Phoenix and I'm sad that I won't be able to come back to this place for another year! read more

Food was amazing, very fresh and full of taste. They were very friendly and helpful as well as accommodating due to allergy. My wife has the Troy chicken and I had the Turkish steak gyro. Highly recommended it if your in Kent. read more

So, I stumbled upon this place a few months ago while walking downtown in Kent looking for something different to eat. Needless to say, I've been back several times since. I have only tried one thing called Chicken Instabul. Its chicken cooked in a red sauce and cheese. I get it in a bowl with brown rice, lettuce, corn and mozzarella cheese. This time I added feta cheese to it as well. Its a nice small spot and its in a great location. You will have a little wait if its packed because all the food is made fresh when you order and I believe the owner is the only cook. But it's worth the wait. I always carry my food to go but if I were to eat there, I believe they have music and a tv. The decor is nice and the menu is written in chalk which is pretty impressive. I would definitely recommend this place ro everyone. read more

Troy Grille is a quaint spot run by the owner and one or two other people. We arrived right when they opened, and the owner hadn't even arrived to open the doors yet. We waited outside, and he was quick to tend us when we got in. The food was good (my friends and I got different variations of the Istanbul chicken and the chicken shawarma) but the service was a little confusing. The format of the place is that you order at the counter, then go sit to wait, and then when you notice your order is ready you go up to pick your toppings and sides. However, I don't know if it was because it was right when they opened, but we had to wait close about 20 minutes for our food. Then when we went up, they were not the clearest at explaining the process of what options we got. For a regular, this would be fine, but as most of my friends and I had never even, it was a little off putting. If you are going for the first time, I would make sure to ask lots of questions to make sure you're getting what you want. However, they were all really nice and the food was delicious, so still giving 4 stars! read more

My husband and I stop here all the time for the Eggplant and Halloumi burger. It is amazing! Today, my husband bought their Turkish coffee brownie as well. And that brownie... they're not F***ing around. I said... THEY ARE NOT F***ING AROUND! Buy one and tell me I am wrong! read more

Best falafel I've had outside Israel. Strongly recommend anything with fresh pita or baba ganoush as well.

Just had the chicken Istanbul and it was OUTSTANDING! Highly recommend it. Service was good. Owner and staff were friendly.

I have been coming here since the first day they opened their doors. They were already exceptional with everything they offer, now they have even become better in terms of quality and taste of their dishes. I have always been treated nicely with a smiling face by the staff and the chef has always been kind and attentive. My kudos go to their chicken Istanbul that has a mouth watering special sauce to die for. Definitely this is a must go place, you won't be disappointed. They for sure are the quintessential Kent restaurant. read more

Troy Grille - Chicken kebab with veggies! - Mediterranean Near Me - Kent, Ohio

I love this place. The falafel is fantastic. It's reasonably priced and just got the food.

Currently visiting from out of state and was looking for something good to eat. This is a real gem here in Kent. I got the chicken shawarma with rice and a whole bunch of vegetables. Absolutely delicious. I will say that the food takes time to come out so make sure you are not in a rush to eat. But otherwise they are super friendly and helpful here. I hope to come back again sometime soon. read more

I think this is the best middle eastern food in town. I have had many of the different kinds of wraps. The falafel is really well done. Locally owned and operated. A go to place for lunch. read more

I found everything here (taste, location, servers, ect.) just mediocre. Nothing to really complain about, but also nothing to really rave over. Even now, as I am trying to come up with a review, nothing is coming to mind. I had a falafel bowl, and was with friends who ordered the chicken Istanbul bowl. The friend was absolutely loving the chicken, but I did not try it since I don't eat chicken. As for the falafel, it was good but not memorable... One thing I do specifically remember is that the sauces were extremely unimpressive. Especially the tzatziki-but-not (since they are Turkish based) sauce. So watery tasting. read more
