"Troya, like many other tapas restaurants, is great to go to with friends so you can take full advantage of trying many dishes on their menu. Good food, quaint little restaurant."

"Helpful staff, interesting and inventive Turkish Mediterranean cuisine. Asked the waitress for recommendations and her choices were spot on and very enjoyable. Food came very quickly. Each plate was finished to the bottom - would have licked the plates if we were home! Excellent sauces and dips to accompany the dishes. Had the Turkish appetizer meatballs, the appetizer zucchini fritters and for entree the special chicken -- all delicious. Then to top it off had the scrumptious pistachio baklava. Will return again!"

"Menu is quite limited. The service was bizarre. The waitress collected our appetizer plates while we were still eating. The restaurant was a huge disappointment. If you want better Turkish food, check out A La Turca on Geary at Larkin."

"We had a great meal here. The food was delicious. The main dishes were a little small. Next time I would order some more of the small plates to compensate."

"We ordered a sampling of meze dishes and really enjoyed them all. The cauliflower was especially good - I'm going to have to try and recreate that at home since I don't live in San Francisco and can't pop into Troya whenever I get a craving..."

"Loved this place! I lived in Turkey for more than two years and this is the closest food that I have found to the "real thing." I will definitely be back! Their Efes beer was ice cold and all of the food was excellent."

"I've been the the restaurant on Clement many times but this was my first visit to the one on Fillmore. The menu is much smaller but the food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the fact that I could have a conversation without shouting. I will definitely return."

"The babaganoush was quite good. Not too acidic, not too smoky. Everything else was really mediocre from the overcooked yellowfin special, to the oily lentil/bulgar salad. The service was also pretty average. Our waiter was doubling as a bartender and as a result was not the most attentive."

"The food at Troya is much better than your average Middle Eastern restaurant. I'm not really a lamb kabob fan, but Troya's version is juicy and succulent. I also tried the Adana Lamb (ground) Kabob which was perfectly juicy and pleasantly spicy. I will definitely go back."

"This place is overpriced, but the food is good. It's a great place to order a lot of small plates and get anything ranging from a light dinner to something heavier."

"This little gem on Fillmore is a great addition to the neighborhood. I have visited their restaurant on Clement, but rarely thinking about going that way to dinner. The food is very good...lots of interpretation on traditional Turkish dishes. Friendly service and very welcoming."

"Troya is a great find with freshly prepared food and excellent service. The braised artichoke hearts were exceptional and the kebabs were tasty and succulent. We will be back."

"A modern looking restaurant with nice ambiance and service. It's good a good selection of mezes, flatbreads, and larger entrees - all meant for sharing. I especially loved the meatballs with haydari & pickles and the zucchini fritters. The fritters were light and tasty, and best of all, not greasy and burnt like the Kokkari ones."

"Great addition to Fillmore street. The roasted cauliflower mezzo was relish, as were our chicken wraps (we could have split one, they are big!). good value, quality. would eat here over Jane, Delfina, et al."

"I was solo for brunch on a Saturday, and I had special needs for seating. My server was outstanding in accommodating me. I ordered two dishes (which he advised were hefty), the cauliflower, which was very good, and the mousaka which was hot, bubbly and excellent. Both dishes would be ideal for sharing! A pleasurable experience! Recommended!"

"One of the best places I've been in a long time. We went for our 2nd anniversary lunch and were in food heaven :) The food and service were both impeccable and we WILL be going back soon!"

"A disappointing lunch at one of my previously favorite lunch destinations. The salad was stale and sparse, they were out of decaf, we ordered two teas. They brought one pot of cold tea that had been left at the counter too long. The pot was chipped, my cup was chipped and when I asked for a new cup, the waiter argued with me! He was quite indignant! I had to argue to have the tea removed from my bill! I was told their was no manager on site. On previous occasions, I found the wait staff to be superb and the food quite delicious. I hope this was just an off day."

"This was a last minute reservation I made through Open Table. I had no expectations for this place but I was definitely impressed with the whole experience. The wait staff was patient and friendly and suggested great items on the menu. The Turkey Dumplings were phenomenal as were the kabobs. Nice wine list and just a nice place to have dinner, whether its date night, couples dinner, family dinner, etc."

"I would recommend it, but not as highly. The food was good -- delicious dolmas, salad, with simple, clean dishes. The service was the most frustrating part --- getting in and out of a lunch meeting was difficult."

"Troya is a great restaurant for Turkish/Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. My favorite dishes were the lentil soup, feta & arugula flatbread, roasted cauliflower, dolmas and the grilled lamb kebab. For dessert the baklava is one of the very best. The atmosphere is warm and modern and service is pleasant. A wonderful addition to the neighborhood."

"The food was okay, but not as good as the Clement operation. We wanted two glasses of wine to finish up our meal, could not get the waiter's attention and so had to finish our food without a beverage. The restaurant was not crowded and there was plenty of help, not like they were short-handed."
