Best fries on Solano. All the servers are really nice. This is an establishment with all male servers, so to all the North Berkeley, Albany and El Cerrito women - including all of us older white women - it definitely adds to the ambiance.
Wow!!! One of the best greek spots I've ever tried! I definitely reccomend trying their kefta kabob platter! It was worth it and so flavorful!!! After passing by here many years I finally got to try this! :) See you next time!

We had to ask for everything plates, forks, water, salt and pepper?? from our waitress Marita! Even though the place was completely empty. Overall bad service. The food was cold and had absolutely no flavor. I would not recommend or return.

All around good Greek comfort food with Greek standards filling the menu. The meats tend to be a bit overcooked and tough but the flavors are there. I enjoy the salads and the meze platter. The service has always been friendly and professional. It's a great place to stop for lunch or casual dinner.

The chicken shawarma wrap was soggy and was not fresh. The garlic fries were barely decent. It’s hard to mess up fries. I was really disappointed because I was so hungry but the food was not appetizing and I usually like Greek wraps. This was just not good at all. Waste of money!

I was in the bay area and was craving some Greek food so I looked around and found this place. They have a few locations, but I picked the one in Alameda since it was closer. As far as parking there is a parking lot close by and also Street parking. There is seating inside and they also have seating outside. There was just two people eating outside and the inside was empty. I found that kind of odd for a Sunday afternoon. I was expecting a bit more of decoration inside for it being a Greek restaurant as far as ambience. The only sound inside was coming from a TV showing a baseball game. I ordered the Gyros platter, Chicken Souvlaki Platter, and Greek fries. I was disappointed in the rice and the Gyros platter. Their lamb and beef tasted like it had been sitting for a while, and it did not have much of a good taste. What was really delicious was their grilled chicken. It had a very nice charbroiled taste. I was just disappointed in the fact that they give you only one kabab for the price that they’re charging. The Greek fries were good. The fries were very crunchy and yummy. It just needed more garlic and Parmesan. I did try both of their hot sauce, a red one and also a green one the green one had a cilantro taste it was a mix of flavor but delicious. The other red sauce was spicy, but had a good taste. The server was super attentive and she did amazing hats off to her.
If I could give 0 out of 5 stars I would. They forgot the hot sauce and somehow optimized the placement of fries in the bag to create the biggest mess

Crest review: Troy Greek delivers a solid dining experience. The flavors are vibrant, and the sauces are an absolute standout—rich, flavorful, and truly memorable. The service is impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who make you feel well cared for. While the Greek salad was a bit on the smaller side, the quality of ingredients and overall attention to detail more than make up for it. A great spot for those who appreciate excellent service and bold Mediterranean flavors!

Stopped by on Saturday night to have dinner before a movie. This place was maybe half full, but the waiter ignored our table completely. Rather than acknowledge our table, he cleared plates off the adjacent table then walked away. After maybe 10 minutes we left. Very weird experience, maybe this place doesn’t want customers? We walked out and went to Burma Superstar which was great. We had two courses and excellent service, then went to the theater.

Fantastic and authentic Greek eats! The lamb was cooked to perfection, the gyro had the perfect amount of tzatziki sauce, and the in house hot sauces were delicious!!! Unusually, the green was hotter than the red, but both had delicious and unique flavors making it impossible for me to pick a favorite (what a wonderful problem to have). Highly recommend!

I have been to Troy's in Alameda many times over the years. They have expanded and created a really nice restaurant. Unfortunately for me the quality of the food has suffered. It has lost flavor and substance. Perhaps that is what happens when you expand? The Meza platter was just meh 🫤. The Lamb platter that I got had way too much rice which was flavorless, the lamb kabobs were tough, the grilled tomato was under grilled and again tasteless as was the grilled zucchini. Over all the meal was a disappointment. While I am not big on salt, a few sprinkles while cooking would have made a really, really big difference in the flavors of the food. I miss the small intimate Troy's and the wonderfully flavored food that they once cooked. This new, improved Troy's didn't hit the mark for me. It's clear that they didn't bring their old chef to the new, improved restaurant. Finally, hire a professional bartender. The servers cannot make drinks. Nick the Greek's food in San Leandro has better tasting food.
