Troy has the best french fries in town, maybe in the entire East Bay. Get the Greek Fries--crispy on the outside and never greasy. The portion is huge and will disappear minutes after hitting the table. Addictive! Very friendly service. A great spot.

Pretty good beef and lamb skewers with rice and their white sauce, on top of the appetizer we ordered with hummus. One comment though on the food (not sure if it’s the beef or the lamb skewer), is that i don’t think the skewer was as fresh as it could have been, hoping that this is just a one off. Overall, the servers were nice and the they have a nice relaxing atmosphere.

Some vegan options. Had the impossible platter in the past and it was enjoyable.
This trip, liked the lentil soup to start. Then Greek salad with no feta and side of 4 falafel. Falafel were decent size and not small pebbles. Crispy on outside and soft inside without being mushy. Added nice hefty to the salad.
Usually there because of non vegan companion eater, so limited choices.
Friendly service and effective though not very busy at early dinner hour.

We usually get take out. Great food. What keeps me coming back is the home made hot sauce (red).

This has needed an update for years and let's begin. 6/10/2025
Recently I've took my sister here as we're both trying to avoid foods cooked with a lot of oil like Chinese food. She's a chef and has been in the business for over 40 years and spent the last 6 years as a chef and was managing food trucks in North Carolina. A long distance from her Napa gourmet restaurant roots. Tonight she ordered the lamb souvlaki. I ordered a small chicken shawarma wrap and lentil soup. The chicken shawarma was perfect. Just be warned, it is with pita bread so it's a bit messy of a handheld eat. But what the heck. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked as it was quite tender. Nicely caramelized onions inside. Loved the lentil soup. It had a nice helping of lentils, not just a few little bits floating around as you see in some places.
Which now brings me to the lamb souvlaki. Now my doctor insists that I don't eat too much meat and I totally agree. However, I could have eaten this for a week. It was some of the best lamb I have tasted in years, maybe over 20 years. Tasted fresh, it was perfectly tender, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not over salted, thank God which is something a lot of restaurants do with meat, especially grilled meat or meat. kebobs.
My sister was very impressed and pretty much polished off the whole thing.
She noted that there were no salt and pepper shakers which she totally appreciated because it meant that the cook knew exactly what he or she was doing. I did take that last bit of her grilled zucchini, which in itself was quite delicious.

This was the second time I took her.
Last time I had the falafel shawarma wrap and I recommend that as well. I got the large one and it was quite substantial.
Sister may have had the chicken souvlaki I don't remember.
Just noted down below that I did my first review 6 years ago. I have since returned multiple times quite often bringing family because it's not too crowded, the food is really good and the prices are very reasonable. They do a reasonable amount of takeout which is probably why there aren't as many occupied tables as before.

Best Greek chicken lemon soup. Definitely get the french fries. I get them without garlic and they’re fantastic. I don’t think I need the garlic. And you can watch and you can watch sports on the TV as well. Iris is an amazing manager and we like her so much.

The food was amazing! Tasty and juicy. I don't think I've ever had better fried zucchini anywhere. Service was quick, friendly and helpful. Definitely go for the food, not the atmosphere.

Really good Greek food and a nice place for sit down. But I come here much less than other nearby restaurants for takeout because their online and app ordering experience sucks - like I try to put in an order and it fails often and I get frustrated and go elsewhere.

Is this Mediterranean platter worth $20?

it just seems a bit overpriced for what it is, chicken was on the lighter side (not enough chicken)

Nonetheless food tasted fresh and good
