We were just looking for a warm place to hide from a typical overcast Sunday in the city and Troya was open in the odd hours between 3 and 5 pm. Everything we ordered was delicious--I had soup with cheese pastries called borek, Mr. had manti-the spicy beef dumplings. Too spicy for my taste, but he LOVED it, even though not typically a lover of spicy things. Everything was very tasty, the service prompt and friendly. Our mimosa weren't terribly original--I had a pomegranate and a peach one, and Mr. had rose lemonade that he did not like. But all and all, we had a lovely time--the space is really beautiful and welcoming. read more

SO GOOD. We ordered the hummus app, chicken skewer, and lamb. Everything was so tasty and service was quick.

Had dinner here this past week with some coworkers who had never been to Troya before and were excited to eat Turkish/Mediterranean food. I was surprised to see the place so packed on a Tuesday night, which means they must be doing just fine...props to them! I'm sure it was because they were slammed but, the service was exceptionally slow and we had to get menus for ourselves and flag down the server to get attention. No matter because the kabobs were all delicious and the trio of apps were also a nice touch. I wasn't a huge fan of the brussel sprouts but, everything else was yummy. I think they realized how slow things were going because they brought out a complimentary dessert at the end of the meal which is always a classy move. Great spot for some casual kabobs and a great option for take away. read more

Mundane would describe the food well. The nice decor and overall cleanliness keep this out of 2 star territory. The steak was good but then again it's steak, just add salt and don't fk it up. Nothing stood out here or on any other table, except maybe the actual bar counter and wood backsplash on the wall. Not sure why we were asked if we wanted the bread before or at the same time as the meal...it was literally olive oil and bread... Salmon kebab was supposed to be popular, tried a bit... this was also unspectacular. Tldr; very boring place to spend $40-50 a head at read more

I ordered the eggplant toast (which was decent) and kaymak with honey but what came out/was served was yogurt with honey instead. I notified the server and they said they ran out of kaymak so substituted with yogurt and that the server didn't know and was apologetic. I'm just shocked at how can a restaurant do that?! Charge me for kaymak and give me yogurt thinking I will not realize if I'm new to the cusine??! They didn't even offer to compensate in any way so overall very poor experience. Not returning. Not sure if that was the intention but came across as poor ethics if you're trying to fool customers like this and don't even care to make up for it. The servers though we're apologetic and good. read more

Had lunch during covid-19 and was completely disappointed. I had been previously at Troya and it was one of my favorite places in San Francisco but this time around the quality of the food had been dropped drastically read more

Just had the chicken kebab to go, got home and the chicken is SO dry! No way this was cooked today! Just heated up! It's unbelievable, you give these so called struggling restaurants your business and they serve up this garbage! $19 for pieces of dry chicken on a stick, first and last time. They don't deserve your business, and it's total arrogance in these tough times to think they can get away with serving this up! Hope they go under! read more

Came for here for dinner on a Saturday night with a reservation which is always nice in San Francisco. The ambience of the restaurant is cute and has a good selection of Turkish food for vegetarians. The Turkish fries, Brussels sprouts were good but the ran out of Aoili! The vegetable moussaka was the highlight dish. We also tried the vegetable kebabs which I was underwhelmed with - give it a miss. Overall it's worth a try read more

Absolutely love this place! Food quality is great, service is amazing - good ambiance for a first date, bringing people who are visiting the city, or just chill place to dine during the week. Parking isn't bad and I don't have to worry about waiting too long to be seated. I highly recommend dining here if you haven't already! read more

I have only been to Troya for lunch and it's one of my favorite places to go on Fillmore! They have an awesome lunch menu with many healthy option. Everything is in the $10-17 range for large portions of food. You can get kebab plates with rice as well as lamb shoulder and chicken plates that come with salad, rice, and pita. I got the lamb shoulder plate and it was delicious. The lamb was perfectly-cooked, shredded and very very tender. Not to mention they put some kind of creamy, spicy sauce on the rice that blew my mind! If you're in Pac Heights or Marina for lunch and craving Greek food, consider this your new go-to. read more

Yum! Came here with two friends yesterday. We got the red pepper dip and the hummus for appetizers. While the hummus was good, the red pepper dip was amazing -- would definitely recommend! I asked the server for a vegan recommendation and unfortunately none of the "large plate" entrees are vegan! That was surprising to me, because Turkish cuisine really lends itself to vegan dishes. The options for me were: Large plate menu: * veggie kabobs no cheese Small plate menu: * roasted brussels * roasted cauliflower * lentil soup The vegetable tagine sounds perfectly vegan but is cooked in butter. Thank you, waitress, for pointing this out! I ended up getting the roasted cauliflower and the lentil soup and it was a filling meal, especially on top of the appetizer dips. My friends both got the vegetarian moussaka (they are vegetarians). Would go here again but would love more vegan friendly entrees :-) read more

I love Tryoa! I've been about 4 times now for brunch and dinner. Everything on the menu is delicious. I love the Brussel sprouts, falafel and the halloumi salad. They also have low abv cocktails that are refreshing and not too sweet! The staff is so friendly and I love the outdoor dining set up. read more

The meet dumplings are a must ! I really loved this place and the waiter was insanely entertaining!

My spouse and I had lunch here today and except for the lentil soup, the food was horrible. My spouse ordered the vegetable kabobs and asked if it could be made vegan (sans cheese). They said no because the skewers were already made up. Really. How hard can it be to cut up or re-skewer some veggies. There was only 1 other diner in the whole place so they were not busy. And it made no sense on their part money-wise because cheese is more expensive than peppers. For $17, we expected those veggies to be beautifully seasoned and grilled. They weren't. The eggplant was raw and rubbery. Any Middle Eastern restaurant that cannot cook eggplant should immediately close its doors in great shame. Said kabobs were supposed to be served with rice. They arrived with a tasteless glob of quinoa. When my spouse asked about it, the waitress said the veggie kabobs were served with quinoa. Funny, we both heard her saying it came with rice when she took our order and the menu also said it came with rice. I ordered a falafel wrap but got a bowl. It was hard to understand how they screwed up both our orders. They corrected it but the falafel was cold and they put a shit-load of hot sauce in there without asking me for my preference. When the waitress came to clear the table, she noticed that I left 90% of my falafel. She asked if everything was OK but did not wait for my answer before asking if I wanted to take my leftovers home. I said no, thank you. She asked again if I wanted to take my leftovers. I again said no thank you. You'd think that would trigger a why. The apparent manager also noted my uneaten falafel and also didn't ask if it was satisfactory. I wouldn't go back to this place they offered me free lunch for a month. read more

Very Tasty: Marinated Olives; Summer Bean Salad; Roasted Brussel Sprouts Tasty: Lamb Meatballs although a tad bit dry; Pinot Gris wine Not-so-tasty: Hummus. Hummus should be a slam dunk but the other evening it was not a slam dunk at Troya Fillmore. read more

Great restaurant with consistent delicious dishes. I've been here a couple times and was a little bummed the most recent time that there wasn't moussaka on the menu but everything else we had was still great. Most recently had the roasted cauliflower, dip trio and dumplings. The cauliflower was roasted perfectly and had the most amazing sauce. For dessert we tried the Turkish pot de creme. Slightly thicker than I was expecting but good flavor, next time I definitely want to try the other desserts. read more

I ordered takeout and they gave me the wrong item. Ordered lamb skewers. Based on the positive reviews and they gave me chicken. The restaurant didn't appear particularly busy and my order was the only one waiting at the time so not sure how they could have screwed that up. A bit disappointing because the dish itself wasn't that bad but it wasn't what I ordered and I noticed they substituted a cheaper menu item than what I paid for. Seems other reviewers have similar issues with not getting what they ordered. Suggest the restaurant to take greater care in quality control and orderly processing of orders. Luckily GrubHub refunded the money. read more

I was a regular customer (2nd visit in 3 days) but not after tonight. Very disappointed. GF and I walked out tonight due to bad service. After we sat down, a large party(10) arrived. We had been waiting for an extended period of time for our waitress to take our order. She decided to take the larger group order first instead of ours. I asked her why she wasn't taking our order first and she said would get to us after taking their order and we should just wait. We decided to walk out. As we were leaving, She also told me she didn't care if we didn't want to come back. Well I will not be coming back. This is my first review on yelp because I feel I needed to share my experience. read more

The "manti" is on the 7x7 Big Eats list for 2013. For those that don't know (and that included me), a "manti" is a Turkish dumpling. This is listed under the Larger Plates section of the menu. $16. Delicious. These were tiny beef balls, that tasted a bit like lamb actually, and they were wrapped in a firm "al dente" dough wrap. They were sitting in a delicious sauce of yogurt with spices and paprika butter. I loved everything about this. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/troya-fillmore-san-francisco?select=N1w4Th8kXy3RcW_mvdDlXw#IbGoYimiJUdvZlgsqergGw The flatbreads are also delicious. I tried the "feta & arugula", and the "lahmacun with minced beef". The dough had a decent amount of thickness to them, so they weren't quite cracker-thin like I expected, and they did have some softness to them. There was a nice portion of feta cheese in the former. And in the latter, the beef was very finely minced and it had a light taste to it. I've enjoyed the other food as well: the feta cheese cigars, calamari, grilled turkish meatballs, etc. I've gone here twice for dinner (on a weekday, and on a Friday night), and there never has been a wait. The restaurant wasn't even quite full, but then again, I've only gone before 7pm. (What can I say.... I'm geriatric.) Last word of advice... watch out for the bill! Prices will sneak up on you especially after a little wine. read more

I was eager to try Troya because of all the veggie options their menu had. I love the neighborhood it's in, but was disappointed by the restaurant itself. I started with the spiced brussels sprouts ($9), as that's what brought me to the restaurant to begin with. They were way too fried and almost completely tasteless. I found myself salting them, and you know when you're salting restaurant food you have a problem. I also ordered the roasted cauliflower ($14) as well, which was phenomenal. The portion size was huge and I loved the flavors. I wish I had skipped the brussels and ordered something else instead! read more

I have been to Troya a few times now for lunch and dinner. I have tried the lamb kebabs, the eggplant flat bread, and a grilled haloumi cheese appetizer. The kebabs were incredible. The lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned. The egg plant flat bread was just ok, it was very small and wasn't really enough for a meal. The grilled haloumi cheese appetizer was the standout. I had never had haloumi before this dish, and it made me a fan. The cheese was warm but not oozing everywhere, which is what I would think would happen to cheese when it was grilled, but it stayed solid. It was really good with the bread that was served with it. I would recommend getting a reservation before attempting to come here, the hostesses seems to get annoyed when you do not have one... read more

Literally one of my top 5 fave places in all of SF...the salmon skewers are heavenly (the spicy harissa is amazing), the chicken skewers are amazing (my sis who comes up from LA insists on getting them each time she's here) and the cauliflower is one of the tastiest things I've had the pleasure of eating. I prefer this place for takeout (even pre-covid), though it's cute inside. too. read more

Tia is dope. Really good service.

I really loved this place. The décor is cute and the food is great. We got the halloumi starter and it was so great! It's so hard to find halloumi in restaurants in San Francisco and it is my favorite cheese. I also had one of the flatbreads and it was really good. I was going meatless on the day I went due to Lent, and there were plenty of options. Halfway through the meal, the waiter asked if we could move over one table because a reservation for 4 people was arriving and they need to push two tables together. We gladly scooted over 3 feet, and they were SO apologetic even though it was no big deal. Next thing we knew, we had two free drinks coming our way and a free dessert! No necessary at all, but appreciated! read more

Had our Xmas dinner here and it was really good. The trio dip to share was everyone's favorites, followed by the sKewers. They let you mix and match so I got the chicken and salmon. Both really good. Amazing service as well. read more

3.5 stars for the value but cute place and I hope they do well during the covid phased reopening!

We had the lamb kebab and the chicken kebab, both were pretty good! Quite flavorful, served with rice and reasonable portion sizes. I really loved the ambiance of the restaurant. My husband and I went here for date night and I really liked this restaurant for such an occasion. Casual and trendy, I would say. I do have to say that the service was mediocre, the waitress wasn't in a very good mood. Also the bathroom was a mess and the toilet was broken. read more

Loved this place, one of the best meals I've had in a LONGGGG time! The owner (?) was so accommodating and kind (guy with the manbun) Deff go here the kebabs were out of this world! The chicken one was stupidly good. Thanks guys! read more

We live just a few blocks away and the BF and I walked down Filmore one night to try the new place on the street. Net - we like this place and will be back :-) The space is intimate and cozy - the staff, very welcoming and helpful. It's the place to be with friends, enjoy a meal and stay awhile. We started off with the steamed mussels and split a lentil soup. Yum! The moussaka was decent but I've enjoyed tastier in the city. I liked that they had tourkish wines on the menu to try along with the food. Next time, I am looking forward to trying their kababs, flatbreads and the milk pudding! read more

Moussaka, truly a delight to eat. My Turkish coworker informed me that an eggplant casserole is mainly what moussaka is. Yummy braised beef, potatoes, tomatoes, bechamel and eggplant. Mouth watering in my opinion, and such a huge portion too. I was thinking about moussaka, and I knew I had to go to Troya to get my moussaka fix. Other suggested foods to eat there is the kabobs, all are definitely tender and delicious. I had sampled all of the kabobs the first time I went to Troya with my coworkers. All in all Troya has great Mediterranean food. Next dish to try the Manti. read more

Umm! Deliciousness in every bite! Came here for some small plates and was caught off guard by the quality and attention to detail by the kitchen Crispy Brussels we're perfectly crisp and spiced to perfection. The lamb and hummus appetizer was savory and lamb was super succulent. The Muhammara is a must. Great wine list, prices aren't ridiculous. Definitely coming back read more

Troya is one of our favorite restaurants in the city. My boyfriend and I lived a few blocks from this local spot for about a year and had to restrain ourselves from coming in every night! Eventually, we got to know the staff and owners, who are extremely kind and welcoming. They helped us celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, accomplishments, and even our recent move away from the city. We were so sad to leave this place that we saved it for our last dinner! That night they surprised us with a gift of a few of our favorite recipes and handwritten notes. It was magical. Tips: - Get the brussel sprouts. Trust me. They're some of the best I've had. - Ask for extra harissa sauce with whatever you get. They make it in-house and no other harissa I've had even compares. - The Greek red wine blend is lovely - The cinnamon braised lamb is probably one of my boyfriend's top 5 dishes of all time. It's tender and flavorful, but not too game-y or rich - The red pepper muhamara (I know I butchered the spelling...) is the best appetizer dip by far. - The chicken sqwers are always tenderly cooked and juicy read more

SO. GOOD. I came in a group of 4 and we ordered a bunch of different appetizers and desserts to share. Favorites were the Turkish dips, cabbage stuffed with lamb (it was a special), and watermelon salad. Everything was seriously amazing. Each item I tried was fresh and delicious, plus our server was awesome. I will come back here every time I'm in San Francisco. read more

I had been to Troya for dinner a couple times and loved the food, so when we saw they started offering a bottomless brunch, it was a no brainer to try it. Unfortunately, it completely misses expectations. Food was fine, but service was awful. They didn't even have champagne and went to go buy it and were being stingy with the refills. They ran out of champagne again in the middle and left for half hour to buy more - once they got it, they only served us one more glass each because the "time was up". Moral: don't come here if you want to do true bottomless brunch read more

Very friendly & attentive staff for dinner. Very good chicken kabab & fried brussel sprouts. Loved the Harissa, spicy & flavorful. Lots of other items I would like to try in the future. Good solid Mediterranean food here. Nice setting. Definitely worth a visit. read more

My party of 8 had meant to go to Noosh and found out it was closed, luckily we walked up the street and found Troya. Even though we didn't have a reservation, the waitress was able to accomodate our large group on a weeknight without any problems. Additionally, she even noticed I was pregnant without me saying anything and instead of seating us at the high table, combined two regular tables for us which I really appreciated. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Great service! In fact, we had such a great experience that I took another group of 9 to the restaurant the following week. Will definitely be back here with friends and work colleagues, highly recommend! read more
