I tried the gyros wrap. It was very good, not as good as I have had in Los Angeles. Service was fine.

This is a nice quiet place to grab dinner on upper Solano Avenue if you like Greek food. The service is friendly, they offer a few local craft beers on tap, in addition to bottled Greek beer and you can catch the game on TV while you dine. I prefer their gyro meat to the chicken when I order a plate, but whatever you get don't forget to add their fries. They are seasoned before frying so you can eat these without ketchup. Their house-made red and green hot sauces are a nice addition to whatever you order as well.

Whether Troy Greek Cuisine place is named ironically or after someone named Troy, I do not know. If it is an ironic joke, it makes a bit of sense, because it ain't that Greek. But TGC is not a bad spot for--shall we say?--Hellas-inspired food. Most of the typical fare is here: shwarma, souvlaki and gyros. They do have several lamb dishes (including kapama) and one halloumi appetizer (which I have not tried). I would have liked to have seen some more typical Greek dishes on the menu, like avgolemono, or dips like taramoussalata and skordalia. But that said, the ingredients here are generally very good. The prices are even better, considering the location on an increasingly upmarket Solano Avenue and the last several years of inflation. So, in terms of value for money, I was quite pleased with my meal. Where TGC lost points was in flavor. While good quality and competently prepared, the food was all a bit bland. I was given a couple of house-made sauces to zip up my meal, one rather tasteless and the other a bit spicy. I am not sure what they were; they were definitely not Greek and the waitress agreed that they were not (more to the point, she opted to not tell me their origins!). Even with the spicier of the two, it didn't add much to the taste. So, while I enjoyed my meal, it had very little wow factor. All that said, when I am in the neighborhood again, I will give it another go and bring some friends/family to get their take. As I say, it certainly is worth it.

Mary and I met here for lunch today. I know Alan and I had eaten here several times since 2017 but I can't remember when I last ate in since 2020. I've done takeout several times since the start of the pandemic. The décor has changed, The collection of smaller photographs has been replaced by two large ones. I didn't recognize our server, but he was warm and friendly. I left home later than I had planned so I texted Mary that I was running late. I found parking right in front and walked in. Mary was seated against the east wall on the banquette and had already ordered a falafel wrap, as she didn't know how late I would be. She had water to drink. I ordered a small gyro and some of their delicious tea. I had thought about getting a cup of their avgelemono soup but wasn't that hungry. I sat down on the chair opposite Mary, who had received her falafel wrap. We had a good time talking and catching up and soon my gyro and tea were delivered. Mary had torn hers in half, intending to take one half home. We took turns talking so the one listening could eat, which worked out well. My gyro was delicious, as was the tea. As we talked Mary gradually ate the rest of her wrap and soon she had nothing to take home. There was never a question of leftovers for me, as this was my first meal of the day. I finished it all. Our server refilled my tea when he refilled Mary's water. When I needed to go to the bathroom I had trouble getting up because we had been sitting so long. I tried, but couldn't do it. Our server (I wish I had asked his name!) came over and asked if I needed help. I was about to reluctantly say yes when Mary said yes on my behalf and I assented, so he helped me up and my knees unlocked. I walked over to the restroom, leaving my credit card so we could pay. There was lovely tile around the bathroom walls that I don't remember from before, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there, as it's been a while. When I returned our server came over w/ the handheld point of sale device. As I paid Mary engaged him in conversation, asking if he was Iranian, volunteering that she was half Iranian. He said no, but close, that he was Jordanian, and that led to a lovely conversation about her visit w/ her late husband to Jordan and other Middle Eastern countries several decades ago and the differences in Jordan between then and now. What a pleasure to eavesdrop on it!

This is my favorite Troy. It's so nice and cozy. The staff is nice. It feels like a very mellow place where people are genuinely nice. The food was great. We ordered a large wrap and the Mezza platter. The falafels are the best I ever had, even better than the ones from their sister Troy in Martinez. The only issue is that the cheese and olives on the Mezza platter was insanely salty. In the future, I will avoid the Mezza platter for that reason.

Updated review: Dropped in on a busy Saturday for dinner and were offered a couple seats at the bar overlooking the kitchen. After a table cleared, we were asked if we'd prefer to move but we liked where we were. It was fascinating to watch, and the food was delicious as usual. I tried the lentil soup for the first time and told my husband to remember that's what I want the next time I'm sick. Delicious comfort in a bowl! As always, the Troy staff are so friendly.

Excellent Mediterranean Cuisine in a casual setting. Dominated in part by the large bar counter flanked by the open kitchen area, you'll find several small tables along the right side of the restaurant up front near the windows to enjoy your meal. Friendly service with a gentle caring smile and warm greetings and attention from our host. We were in the mood for just a little light lunch, so we ordered up the Athenian Chicken Salad and a big bowl of Avgolemono Soup and a side of Falafel balls. Service was fast. Within 8 minutes or so, our lunch was presented to us. The Athenian Chicken Salad was huge.. In it you'll find crunchy Romaine lettuce, chicken and feta tossed in a homemade balsamic vinaigrette dressing along with apples and a ton of walnuts for added flavor. It also comes with a couple of wedges of pita bread. Definitely worth it (5/5 in my book)! My partner had the Avgolemono Soup (chicken, rice, lemon) which was on point. (4/5) The Falafel balls were yummy too! (4.5/5). Their menu hits all the high notes for everyday Greek/Mediterranean Cuisine with Gyros, Souvlakis, Falafel, various Wraps, Kebabs and more. We definitely want to come back gain for the mains too next time.

Came in on a Saturday with my aunt upon her recommendation. It wasn't too crowded, which was a nice because it enabled the conversation without a lot of noise. Services good,. Although it took a little bit of time for the food to arrive it's clear that it's because they were taking their time to prepare each dish. Had Guro and Greek fries both were very good and walked away full
