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.

Must try for lunch.

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!

One of the best Greek American style gyros I’ve had in the bay. Not a mislabeled shawarma like most. Good bouncy texture to the meat, right amount of salt, good crisp. Great fries and tzatziki.

The service is awful the guys that work here don't greet you or seat you. I was ignored for 10mins no one came to say anything. The food is great. I had visit before with my sister and both enjoyed the meals and atmosphere but this second time os probably the worst.

This is the 2nd time I've visited Troy. I stumbled upon it during a drill weekend and this round my family and I were headed to the Monster Jam monster truck show at the Colluseum. (It was crap). Anyway, the whole family devoured the plates we ordered, that's a 3 year old, an 8 year old and us parents. Greek cuisine was my favorite to find during deployment and this is definitely a great representation. We'll be back!
Food was great, service was lacking a bit. Just had to ask for everything. Salt, extra napkins, an extra plate for sharing, got my own to go box.

Troy in Alameda has the tastiest Moussaka we've eaten.Simply mouth-watering delicious! The rice was very tasty as well.
Parking: There's a parking lot nearby but often full due to the theater and a large number of restaurants nearby

Simply delicious. Troy is conveniently located right across the Alameda Theater. I had the lamb kebab plate. The lamb was perfectly tender, juicy and flavorful. The same for the chicken kebab platter as well. The hummus appetizer was creamy and the bread was soft on the inside with a perfect crunch on the outside. Their green hot sauce—wooo!I was tempted to take it home. I kept dropping some on my rice which was fluffy, moist and with a nice saffron aroma.Last, but not least, the customer service was just superb.

Elegant wood dining area, mostly 2-tops, with a full bar against a back wall. It makes for an intimate yet casual atmosphere for enjoying a decent menu of Greek entrees.Have only gone once so far, but the gyro platter and the pastitsio did not disappoint. Good portion size to cost ratios so I was happy.I'm not a drinker but the full bar looked well stocked, including cocktails and some eclectic drinks are on offer.On the list of places to try again for sure, as it satisfied our Greek cravings for Alameda.
