Excellent neighborhood restaurant featuring great Mediterranean food. We had the perfect friies and a side of Brussels sprouts before our entrees- lamb kebabs and lamb chops- both cooked perfectly with rice and veggies. Lastly share their Turkish delight, Baclava, and Turkish coffee for a perfect finish. Courteous service. Go early and expect a bit of noise from the lively crowd, read more

This hidden gem is now my new favorite restaurant in SF!! Came in at 6:30 pm on Sunday and there were still good amount of seats open for walk-in. Everything we ordered--baked eggplant, french fries, chicken skewers and chocolate baklava-- was so flavorful and delicious! It doesn't look that big from outside but the inside is spacious and beautifully decorated! Highly recommended :D read more

Food was outstanding, we have been looking for vegetarian moussaka and we ordered the vegetarian feast for two which included a mezze plate, salad, vegetables-cauliflower and brussels sprouts, the moussaka and dessert, plus the moussaka. The food was delicious, service was attentive including the owner and full dining experience we were not expecting. Joyce and Chris read more

Nothing but good things to say about Troya!! The food, staff and space are all lovely on Fillmore. Great for friends, family and work groups, order everything and share! So easy as a vegetarian and I want to try the vegetarian feast next time. We all loved our drinks (Mocktail, Turkish tea and wine) and food! Recommend sharing the hummus, tzatziki and muhammara plate, the cauliflower and the eggplant. read more

My My wife recommended this place a few months ago and now we love coming back here. Friendly service and great food is what brings us back. For the myriad of options the City has to offer, we enjoy the simplicity of this restaurant. Will be coming back again soon! Warm hummus w za'atar spiced lamb: Apart from it being your appetizer hummus, served warm; it's topped with spiced lamb that is out of this world! A must try! Braised lamb shoulder- braised lamb shoulder, rice, and a couple of sauces. It was tender and served off the bone, boy did this dish come packed full of flavor. A great dish to share, or to fall asleep after devouring. Good night! "Manti"- yogurt dish with beef dumplings. Very tasty and large portion. For sharing and should be ordered with a side of rice and pine nuts. If you like yogurt based mains, you gotta try this! read more

It's been more than a decade since I last visited Troya although way back when it seemed like a good place to go. On entry this past Sunday, I found the venue to be light, airy, and beautifully appointed. Service was spot on and the restroom was spic and span. On to the food. Lentil soup was thick, tasty and served hot. And the four slices of pita that accompanied the soup were a nice addition. Roasted cauliflower came with scallions, grilled tzatziki & crispy mustard greens. A nice plate of subtly spiced food. For my main course I had baby rib lamb chops served with rosemary, roasted potatoes, and warm hummus. The lamb was lovely and brings me to my sole reservation regarding my meal. The serving apparently consisted of two double chops (two rib bones each chop). But the rib meat at the end of the bond had been cut such that only half the expected meat was present: two bones and the meat of only one. Kind of a sneaky thing it seemed to me. Hence four rather than five stars. read more

Good service. Helpful and personable from start to finish. The food was the star though. We got the vegetarian feast for 2 and ate every bite. We are uncomfortably full but it was so good we will happily suffer. read more

10/10 recommend! I've been to Troya twice (once in 2020 and once more recently) due to a friends recommendation. The food has been incredible both times and the staff are kind, helpful and thoughtful (especially when it comes to dietary needs). The wines are all delicious (took a bottle home) and everything pictured in this review I highly recommend. The manager was very attentive, he came around to make sure we liked our meal and gave us great recommendations! Not pictured: chocolate lava cake that was perfectly curated. If you have not been here, you are missing out! read more

I was looking for something zesty and fresh to eat on a late Saturday morning and Troya delivered. My husband and I shared a shakshuka and assortment of dips with a side of hot tea, all very flavorful and satisfying for a light brunch. A DJ spun exotic jams while we noshed at our tiny table in the light-filled and airy interior. Our server checked in just the right amount, letting us know he was there for us but not overbearing. The whole experience felt like a mini-vacay with Turkish flair. I'd go back again if I was in the area, for sure. read more

pretty good spot for lunch! we came here on a saturday around noon and there was no wait for our party of 6! service was pretty fast and all of our food came out at the same time. the hummus, tzatziki, and muhammara were all so good, but our favorite was the muhammara so we ordered an extra portion of just that. the salads came already tossed which was really nice, but the falafel was a bit dry. We had chicken and lamb skewers which were both really flavorful and tender. the beef, sausage, and eggs were also really good and perfect for lunch! read more

I visited Troya for the first time recently, and thought it was really good! A friend and I ordered the Turkish Breakfast, which serves 2-3 people. The Turkish Breakfast essentially comes with three components - a platter of various breads, a Shakshuka with beef, and a large platter of various cheeses/toppings/spreads to put on top. Since I am a vegetarian, I focused on the bread and toppings portion of the meal and let my friend take the Shakshuka. I had fun trying all of the different spreads (my favorite was the honey and cheese spread) and matching them with the different breads. It was also fun being able to share the meal with someone else, and compare/contrast what we each liked best. We didn't end up finishing everything, so the staff provided some small containers to take home leftovers with. Although we left the restaurant very full (and with leftovers!) I would still recommend that only two people order this meal in order to ensure you get all the things you want. Alternatively, this could be a fun meal to split with more than two people if you are ordering additional sides. read more

Amazing friendly staff and service! Great portions, delicious flavors, and ambiance is a plus :) can't wait to come back!

Perfect spot to stop into on. Thursday evening. Nicely decorated, clean, not too loud, excellent service and delish food. Both chicken and salmon kebabs were nicely prepared and seasoned. The rice that accompanied was delicious. Would return! read more

I love Troya. It's my go to neighborhood spot when I'm looking for healthy Mediterranean cooking that makes me feel good. The staff are warm and welcoming, there is almost always seating available, and the Turkish style desserts on display in the window always grab my attention. It's fairly quiet inside so you can have a conversation unlike many other businesses in the area. Take out is also great and easy through Grubhub. Check it out! read more

Stopped here for the first time to get a take-out dinner. Ordered two dishes from the dinner menu. The lamb/hummus appetizer was literally 4 tablespoons of hummus and a small pieces of lamb. It honestly looked like it was a leftover portion of something (it was so little), and that at $14!!!! The ground meat dumplings was good and again it was a small portion for dinner. Not sure if this is how they serve take-out portions or not. We had to stop at another place to get additional meal for dinner!! Seriously!!! read more

Troya is a lively neighborhood restaurant featuring Turkish-inspired flavors. The Vegetarian Feast for two was a great way to sample a bunch of their offerings, and we were started with a Greek salad (greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, radishes, green olives, and cubes of feta); roasted cauliflower served over tzatziki; and crispy Brussels sprouts with aioli. But my favorite item from the set menu was the Mezze Plate, a colorful platter with muhammara topped with walnuts, creamy tzatziki, hummus topped with fried chickpeas, two crispy falafels, and two dolmas, along with sliced cucumbers, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and pita bread for dipping! All of the flavors of the mezze plate were fresh and vibrant, and the presentation was beautiful too. The final item that came with the set menu was the Vegetable Moussaka, a baked casserole made of layers of sliced eggplant, potatoes, tomato sauce, and bechamel sauce, served with a chewy jasmine rice pilaf topped with almonds. We also ordered the Braised Lamb Shoulder, which came with pieces of shredded lamb mixed with almonds and raisins, surrounding a mound of rice topped with creamy tzatziki and spicy harissa. This dish was nicely balanced in flavor and texture--the fatty meat, the crunchy almonds, the sweet raisins, the creamy tzatziki, the spicy harissa, and the chewy rice pilaf all came together in perfect bites. Overall, this was a great Mediterranean restaurant with friendly service, a nice vibe, and delicious food! read more

It's not amazing but it's good! Our favorite is the lamb skewers with rice. Hummus ratio with the pita bread was weird. The amount of pita is too little with the amount of hummus served. read more

I came in for lunch on a Sunday and sat outside with my friends. It was so cold and raining but they had a little roof, but no heater. My friend and I decided to share and we ordered the Crispy Spiced Brussel Sprouts with aioli and the Shakshuka with rice instead of bread, since my friend can't eat gluten. The brussel sprouts arrived quickly and were cooked perfectly! The aioli was a perfect pairing. The shakshuka took a little longer and I was not too impressed with it. The egg was cooked well and the rice was good, but the sauce wasn't very flavorful and didn't taste fresh. However, maybe we just ordered the wrong thing since the sprouts were so good. Our server was also very kind and didn't forget to check on us, even when it was raining. read more

Great experience at Troya. was surprised to find the renovation after looking at prior photos of the interior, but the environment was very warm, welcoming, and pleasant. Though the Grilled Halloumi was not on the menu, I had asked if the kitchen could still serve some after seeing it in past Yelp reviews and the staff was very accommodating - Thank you! Overall, the food was great and so were the drinks. The food was very flavorful and the portions were fantastic for the price points. A pleasant surprise for San Francisco. Similarly, cocktails and wine were reasonably priced and served with great portions. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only potential improvement I would highlight is that as more individuals filtered in and the restaurant got busier, we did wait a bit to be served and order entrees, but nothing too crazy. We loved our experience and plan on going back soon! Not pictured: Baklava. The baklava was incredible. Found it just rich enough. Not dry, but not too much syrup. For $9 we were served 6 pieces. Great portion size! read more

I was hesitant because I'm not generally a huge Mediterranean food fan, but this place SLAPS. We opted to get several dishes for the table to try a little of everything - I would highly recommend this if you have a group of 4. We got the veggie feast (the cauliflower was INCREDIBLE and the moussaka was surprisingly the tastiest of them all!), chicken skewers, and the fries. It was a lot of food and we got to try so many great things. All of it was good! The staff were very friendly and made this a great experience. I would absolutely come back! read more

Gave this a try after seeing it on one of those IG influencer reviews. The food itself lives up to the viral IG video. The bread assortments they give with the Turkish breakfast are delicious. I would consider the Turkish breakfast dish like a Turkish breakfast tapas. It's really filling for 2, and if you do a brunch for 4, I would recommend getting one Turkish breakfast and maybe 1 or 2 more breakfast plates for a proper feast. There was a live DJ with great Mediterranean house/reggae music which was pretty cool. They were a little understaffed during the rush, but that's understandable considering the restaurant labor shortage in the city. read more

This place has a FANTASTIC Turkish breakfast. It's portioned for two people and comes with a plate of white and whole wheat pita, as well as a cheesy flaky bread and a smattering of middle eastern mezzes including honey yogurt, olives, two types of cheese, roasted tomato spread, and more. This offer also comes with a shakshuka. The shakshuka was fine but the mezze spread was delicious, unique, well plated, and served in generous portions! The outdoor seating ambiance on Fillmore Street is awesome - the seating is organized in booths and the street isn't windy at all. Service is sparse but it's good. read more

Absolutely loved this little place! Great food and service. The hummus appetizer with house made pita bread set a new standard in my book. The pita bread was grilled up to order, coming hot off the grill with just a kiss of char and the hummus had a round sweetness that was hard to put your finger on. After talking to the waitress, sounds like it's made with sauteed garlic, rather than raw. Incredible! The chicken leg dinner was so crispy, it was unreal. My wife's lamb kebabs were cooked perfectly and melted in your mouth. Give this place a shot. Make a reservation though because they get busy! read more

Lovely flavorful brunch We were seated in a cute booth outdoor. It was a sunny day and I'd say the perfect weather made everything better! This is not to say their food is not good, it's just my salad was a lil bland and their menu does not show what's in the blood orange fizz cocktail that I ordered. The skewers were great on the other hand! We would come back again for their food next time read more

Came here a while ago and did the veg platter, which came with so much variety. There were three of us splitting, so they were nice enough to give us an extra baklava as well. The indoors was super nice and was fairly busy on a Friday night. It was great to be able to try so many different things for a super fair price point. The pita was super soft and some of the best I've had. Loved the cheese borek and roasted cauliflower. The standout was the vegetable moussaka though -- would come back again just for this! read more

Came here on a Sat or Sunday morning (I forgot) and grab brunch because it's a really nice day and they have a lovely sunny parklet table.
