Reviews
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.
Recently I’ve took my sister here as we’re both trying to avoid foods cooked with a lot of oil like Chinese food. She’s a chef and has been in the business for over 40 years and spent the last 6 years as a chef and was managing food trucks in North Carolina. A long distance from her Napa gourmet restaurant roots. Tonight she ordered the lamb souvlaki. I ordered a small chicken shawarma wrap and lentil soup. The chicken shawarma was perfect. Just be warned, it is with pita bread so it’s a bit messy of a handheld eat. But what the heck. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked as it was quite tender. Nicely caramelized onions inside. Loved the lentil soup. It had a nice helping of lentils, not just a few little bits floating around as you see in some places.
Which now brings me to the lamb souvlaki. Now my doctor insists that I don’t eat too much meat and I totally agree. However, I could have eaten this for a week. It was some of the best lamb I have tasted in years, maybe over 20 years. Tasted fresh, it was perfectly tender, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not over salted, thank God which is something a lot of restaurants do with meat, especially grilled meat or meat. kebobs.
My sister was very impressed and pretty much polished off the whole thing.
She noted that there were no salt and pepper shakers which she totally appreciated because it meant that the cook knew exactly what he or she was doing. I did take that last bit of her grilled zucchini, which in itself was quite delicious.
This was the second time I took her.
Last time I had the falafel shawarma wrap and I recommend that as well. I got the large one and it was quite substantial.
Sister may have had the chicken souvlaki I don’t remember.
Just noted down below that I did my first review 6 years ago. I have since returned multiple times quite often bringing family because it’s not too crowded, the food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. They do a reasonable amount of takeout which is probably why there aren’t as many occupied tables as before.

Nice greek food, but the french fries. OMG…. sorry short on details as this was a month or two ago. Will return.
Still delicious and great service. I’ve had a lot of the dishes, all great tasting. Had the Chicken Shawarma and Spanikopita twice. Loved it.
As you might see in the pics, I dug into the food and forgot to take the pics first time I went. The second time was takeout. Was so good .
If you’re looking for some great tasting food and friendly fast service…Troy is your place
I would give kudos to the service at Troy. They are considerate, friendly, and in general very nice people to interact with. The big let-down was the food. I usually love the spanakopita, but this place disappointed me to no end.
Maybe I need to choose another day to come visit Troy to see if I have a different experience!
