This place has absolutely the best Greek food in Alameda! Since they moved to the new bigger location next door where Pappo used to be they definitely kicked it up a notch. The food is fresh and delicious, the service is great, and they now have a full bar. I gotta give a shout out to Blanca and Hector too! If you want a tasty meal at a reasonable price come check out the all new Troy!
Used to be great in person but appears to be struggling under the weight of ghost kitchen economics, wherein only those orders placed with a delivery service are given priority. Tables were left dirty and un-bussed for over half an hour, one unmasked wait staff coughed into open air repeatedly while walking through the restaurant, and ultimately our food was left unaddressed in a bag long enough to be only lukewarm, including the salad, which was boxed with the hot food. Baklava was soggy and stale. Food was ok but hard to judge since it sat for so long. Extra sad because they recently took over a beautiful historic restaurant space that should really be used by a restaurant focused on in person, high quality dining. Two stars because maybe if you order online you'll have an ok meal/better experience, but for now avoid in-person.
Not great, my moussaka was cold in the middle and the waitress never checked in with us on how our meal was. As someone who has worked back of the house and front of the house, I'm pretty unimpressed. From a food safety view it seem pretty clear there not checking internal temps of the food their serving, which can cause food poisoning. From a service perspective not checking in with customers at least once is just bad form. If she had I would have told them my meal was cold, and to reheat the meal.Also, It was a vary light day that Saturday afternoon, only one big party and three small tables. The male waiter seems to be picking up the slack of the waitress. I've been in that position and it sucks I don't know what the power dynamic is but if it lasts, your going to lose a good employee .
Delicious gyros! But it's been months since we've gone because it broke my heart when we got home and realized they forgot to give us the baclava we paid for :'(They've adopted a bigger placed next door and it's great!! Delicious and nice environment
Food and service are great. Nice customer service. Thanks Christina for the best service!
I had been very keen to have Greek/Mediterranean food for a long time, but hadn't really found any places nearby where I live. I happened to be in Alameda for an appointment and read good things about Troy, and ordered takeout. I was very pleased with the flavor and quantity of the dishes we ordered (lamb kapama, moussaka, dolmas), and am kicking myself for not having asked for some baclava to take home with me. Will definitely try and make my way over to Troy again.
The moussaka was perfect! Loved the grilled vegetables and their pita bread. The spicy sauce is like Mexican salsa, very tasty and spicy! Wasn't too impressed with one of the tzatziki's, it wasn't good anymore, looked brownish and tasted sour. It is a bit disappointing that there wasn't better quality control.
Fresh, delicious and well-made food, the green hot sauce is perfect! The service is always friendly and the kitchen staff is always happy and quick.
Is fast casual, counter service, excellent fresh food. I recommend this place if you are doing paleo or low carb below carb.
Visiting from Annapolis Maryland amd missing my favorite Greek restaurant Chris's Charcoal. Led me to try a local greek place here in Alameda. Found Troy's to be quite authentic, clean, friendly staff. I ordered a lamb platter which came with nice large chuncks of lamb (seasoned perfectly), tazzeki, rice, grilled vegies(deliciousness) and pita bread. Perfect portions no too much nor too little. They provided me with their in house hot sauces which were to die for, something I don't get at Chris's (Annapolis). Highly recommend, fast service, reasonable pricing, small dine IN or out door seating.
