We had the most delicious lamb skewers. We also got the Turkish breakfast. We forgot to take a picture of the shakshuka. The different breads, spreads, and cheese were delightful. Don't skip the Turkish breakfast! It was so fun to try all the different foods in that one. We ate outside and it was a beautiful day. The waitress explained all of the food to us which made it more fun to try the new things. read more

Pricey but super delicious Turkish food! The meat was tender, the sauces and sides were wonderfully seasoned. The crispy brussel sprouts and tzatziki made my day. The portions are generous, so split a main course if you're not starving. Also really enjoyed the rose lemonade mimosa. read more

Troya is on available on Doordash for delivery :) We ordered a chicken pita, braised lamb shoulder bowl, and fries! We particularly enjoyed the lamb bowl. Rice and meat were both flavorful, and lamb was very tender as well. I also liked that the salad was packaged on the side (not pictured) to ensure freshness. The chicken pita was great as well, but the pita bread was slightly drier than I would've liked. The chicken was still delicious and I liked the hummus in the pita pocket a lot. Fries are my favorite and so really nothing much to complain :) Crispy and light even after reheating with my air fryer! read more

This place is sooo good!! It has great Turkish dishes and the service was great! We got the cheese borek, lamb shoulder, and Manti Turkish dumplings. The borek was delicious and light.

I'm a huge lamb lover and Troya happened to have lamb chomps. They were pretty good, but not to die for. I asked for them to be cooked medium rare, and they came well/well done. Perhaps they aren't use to people requesting a certain way due to the thinness of the cut. They were overly seasoned as well. The Brussels sprouts were also over seasoned. Not a major spot for me. read more

The food was really amazing it was so good and savory. Also the service was really good me and my family would get free tea refills without even asking it was so good! Vicky helped us out a lot she was very positive and kind. Muzaffer who also served us was positive and he speaked Turkish with us because that is our language, he was very kind and always had a smile like Vicky. The atmosphere was also very good, everything was clean, the music was good, and the place was very nice and decorated. Overall this place was amazing, the food, service, and place. I would give it 10 stars if there was an option like that, I recommend this place %100. read more

Not to My Delightl I am a huge fan of Turkish delight. So when I walked by this place the week of my birthday and saw their selection in the window, I first thought, "Just one," but it's my birthday weekend/month, "TREAT YO SELF," I second thought. I walked into the establishment and to my surprise, what I thought was a grab n' go Turkish eatery was a cute restaurant. A cute restaurant that was practically empty at 3pm on a beautiful sunny summer day in San Francisco. Two young female employees chatted while doing mobile hand exercises at the back of the restaurant, while a waiter with pastel pink hair that reminded me of the rose water Turkish delight in the window, attended to the only occupied table in the restaurant. The waiter made an acknowledging gesture in my direction, to which I nodded, as he handed the table a Square device to pay for their bill. I looked over the brunch, wine and cocktail menu. No Turkish delight menu? No matter. My birthday is tomorrow, "I'm having one of everything," said my inner birthday boy. I glanced back at the staff: the waiter- perched on the edge of the table, micromanaging the check signing of his only table. The rest of the visible staff: in their respective mobile black holes. With a chuckle I walked out. I collected my patiently waiting dog and turned towards the restaurant to see the waiter's head sticking out the store front window with a silent dumbfounded look as I looked at him comically and said, "That took waayy to long," as my dog and I continued our stroll down Fillmore street. Le Méditerranée, a block away, was full of customers and has serviced SF since 1979. read more

Came here with a friend at about 6:45pm on a Sunday. We had a reservation, but probably didn't need one. There are high top tables and regular seating. The service was really nice and attentive. We decided to get two things to share: the Vegetable Moussaka with lentils, eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, and bechamel sauce ($17.50) and a Organic Chickpea Falafel Bowl ($12) with hummus, pita, greens, avocado, feta, and herb yogurt. The Vegetable Moussaka in its appearance, looked like a Shepard's pie, but was amazing. It was savory, filling, and had a nearly perfect balance of flavors. The only thing I would say is that there was a tad too much bechamel sauce on top for me that caused it to be a bit heavy. The Falafel Bowl was a perfect, lighter dish that paired nicely with the heavier Vegetable Moussaka dish. The falafels were well done, not over cooked and the pita was good. I would have liked more tomatoes, as we got about 2 in the salad. I would definitely return...Maybe for lunch to try the wraps that they don't have at dinner or for brunch to try the Shakshuka! read more

This might be a crazy saying....but Troya is, and might be the best Mediterranean food I have had in sf, okay okay maybe the BAY AREA by FARRRR. What's surprising is, I like Mediterranean food, but would never go out of my way because it's just not my favorite. But I will happily go out of my way for Troya. The food, the service is all exceptional. The falafel and the fries, ugh I crave those weekly. I literally never have liked Turkish delights but the ones there, wow. Wow wow wow read more

It's been a very long time since I've been here, and I'm glad Troya is surviving the pandemic. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. And their indoor seating include plexiglass dividers. My friend and I ordered almost the entire small plate menu. The waitress asked if we wanted to do the vegetarian meal for 2 instead, but I'm not a fan of moussaka because I don't like eggplant. But it is the more economical option. So we ordered the Brussels sprouts, roasted cauliflower, hummus combo, fries, and falafels. They were all pretty good! I think the falafels were overdone a bit, but I still enjoyed them. The sprouts had that char that I love, and they were crispy. The roasted cauliflower also had a good char to it. The fries were yummy, too. After awhile it does get a little salty from the seasoning, but again I still enjoyed them. I really loved the hummus combo, which came with tzatziki and muhamara. I really liked the muhamara! I don't know what the ingredients are, but what I can say I enjoyed the bright flavors and the crunch of the walnuts. We also ordered Turkish hot tea, and I liked the hint of bitterness to it and the lemon wedge. The baklava was okay. I've been spoiled because I have neighbors who are chefs from Jordan, and they made fresh baklava for my building's holiday party. They've set the bar pretty high for me. I made reservations through OpenTable where I listed mine and my friend's allergies. I really appreciate the staff making sure we knew which dish had what, and overall accommodating to our allergies. Roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite veggie dishes, and I would come back to Troya for them. Definitely check them out. read more

Dropped in on this Mediterranean bistro after a day of walking the Marina, Cow Hollow, and Pacific Heights neighborhoods for a Turkish-inspired small plate meal. The decor is understated and clean white like a Turkish beach. We shared a luxurious lentil soup flavored with chili oil that warmed our souls on a chilly day. Our "main" small plates were hummus and lamb and roasted cauliflower dishes, both delicious. read more

Went with a group of friends last weekend. My sister ordered a lamb salad and I ordered the lamb dish with extra greens. When the meals came out, they said they had a chicken salad. No one in my group ordered that, but somehow the waiter said that's what my sister got and gave it to her. They came back a minute later with more food, some of it wrong Again. They traded my sister her chicken salad for what perhaps was a lamb salad this time. They took an extra 10 minutes to bring my lamb dish with extra greens, that somehow didn't seem to have the ingredients I expected. Towards the end of the meal, we realized that the dishes my sister and I had were flipped (I was on a special diet so the realization came when I realized what one of the ingredients were and that that same ingredient was missing from her dish!). If you are confused about this story, that's good. It was super confusing for about 25 minutes for all of us at the table. The waiters seemed to be clueless. They gave us each little bites of balaclava in the attempt to make it right. Then I got the bill and just threw my credit card in it. After it came back I realized I should probably have read the bill. Just had a gut feeling... Sure enough, they overcharged us. The salad my sister got was charged for the salad, add lamb, and add chicken. A whooping $27 Salad. That they technically never even gave her or me. This service just isn't acceptable. They didn't apologize when I brought up the error and of course they didn't allow me to adjust the tip at this point. The saddest thing is the food was delicious, but the problems and confusion about what should be very simple was not ok. read more

We had Lamb shank and it was the biggest waste of $60.00 for Lunch, I have ever spent in any Mediterranean restaurant anywhere! The presentation was horrible and worst of all. It was cold, at least a day old if not older. I ate what I could. Eventually I spit it into a paper napkin. I am not one to complain, however this was not something I could just overlook. I would not ever walk into this establishment again. I am certain whoever rated this place highly was paid or worked for this establishment. Don't waste your money! read more

Troya - This is what we both ordered - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

Normally, I love dining at Troya and have been a loyal customer for awhile now. However, I recently placed a takeout order (chicken kebabs) and came back home to find that every piece was completely raw. I ended up having to cook the chicken as it was completely inedible. When I called to let Troya know, the man told me they were too busy to look into it and that I'd have to call back later. Customer service was a bit lacking to say the least. Raw chicken is one thing, but to have the restaurant ignore the issue is unacceptable. read more

Overall this is a very good Turkish-style restaurant. The salads are amazingly good. The skewer kebabs are well done too with accompanying delicious side dishes. read more

This place was super delicious. The eggplant dish was the most surprising as it was so soft and creamy. The hummus spread was just as amazing, as each had its own kick of flavor. Nothing was overwhelming or too spicy at all the perfect trio to snack on. Plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. read more

I had high expectations for Troya. The food was good, but everything felt very rushed. Food came out immediately which was nice, but begged the question... how far in advance were things prepared? The Hummus, Tzatziki & Muhamara appetizer was delicious. The cauliflower appetizer was soggy and just ok. The chicken skewer entree came out room temperature, however, the chicken was very moist and flavorful. The rice was tasty, but rather mushy. We went on a week night, so maybe that made a difference? I would give them another try. read more

Came here for a dinner date. I made a reservation for two at 6:30pm. By the time we got to the restaurant, there was a lot of tables open. I was wondering if I could have walked in but the tables quickly filled up. I ordered roasted cauliflowers and fries. The cauliflowers were good, but not worth the price (12$). The fries were really tasty and I would order it again. I ordered the ground lamb and my boyfriend got the dumplings. The dumplings were cute and small. There was a burst of flavor from each dumplings. The lamb was cooked medium rare. It was very juicy. It comes with a small salad. Out of all the things, I enjoyed the dumplings. Lamb had a strong taste that it's a preference dish. I didn't particularly like it as much as my boyfriend. The customer service was nice. They came to check if we had any questions. It wasn't anything special nor bad. They came around to take the dirty plates and the pacing of the food to come out was good. I do want to try other dishes and I also want to try their brunch menu! read more

Troya - Menu (2/15/2020) - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

The atmosphere: we came here on a Friday for lunch. The restaurant was about half empty, making it not too loud, a great space to catch up with friends. The decor inside is very clean and simple. The food: The lunch menu was pretty limited. It was basically either kebabs or salad. I wish there was more variety on the lunch menu. I had the chicken kebab, and found it to be pretty mediocre. The meat wasn't particularly flavorful, was a bit dry, and I wish they offered something other than a yogurt sauce to go with it. The yogurt sauce they have is very tart and completely overpowers the taste of anything you dip into it. I order chicken kebabs quite a bit at various Mediterranean restaurants, I usually love the yogurt sauce with dill, but this one just didn't do it for me. The rice that comes with the dish is decent, and it has a nice red sauce on it. I wish they would add more of it than barely a teaspoon, would add more flavor to the dish. The price: I paid $22 total for a chicken kebab plate and a sparkling water. A bit expensive for a lunch size portion, and more expensive than many of the surrounding Mediterranean restaurants in the area. The service: you order at the counter at the very front, take a number, and then the food is brought to your table. Not much direct service involved, but the worker who took our order was very pleasant. read more

After taking the free 90-minute walking tour on Broadway/Pacific Heights offered by Haas-Lilienthal House, we were famished and in dire need of some good hearty lunch. We spotted this restaurant on Fillmore and decided this was it right away. We grabbed one last table that was available. Only a couple of nice ladies seemed to be serving so the service was on slower side but it was okay. The food came out fairly quickly and I was so happy to bite into such tender and flavorful lamb cubes. The grilled vegetables and the rice were also delicious. The yogurt sauce was nice and thick. I will definitely go again‼ read more

Troya - Manti Turkish Beef Dumplings - Mediterranean Near Me - San Francisco, California

I rarely dine out. When I do, Troya is my "Old Reliable." The proprietor, Berk, is from Turkey. After he studied Hospitality in college, he noted San Francisco's fine restaurants lacked anything Turkish, except for the stereotypical gyros & kebabs. Vegetarian, I gravitate towards such dishes as red lentil soup and roasted cauliflower. The manti is direct from Turkey, as are the baklava and Turkish delights. The Coca Cola is from Mexico 'cos it has cane sugar instead of fructose. When I want to dine with friends or family - or for a personal celebration - Troya is my Number One go-to. On upper Fillmore, near Browser Books. read more

Not sure what all the hype is about this place. Definitely had better mediterranean food elsewhere for much better prices. I ordered the beef dumplings and was really disappointed, they were pretty much all dough and a couple of flecks of meat in each one. Not satisfied at all but ate it because I didn't wanna waste $19. My boyfriend had the salmon kebabs and he said they were just ok. read more
