Vibrant Turkish-Mediterranean spot with standout veggie starters and reliable skewers, but value and portion complaints surface; best for flavorful shareables and brunch if you accept SF pricing.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Troya delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by exceptional vegetable starters and genuinely friendly service, but inconsistent execution on proteins and delivery orders prevents a higher grade. The attractive Fillmore Street location and warm atmosphere appeal to casual diners seeking Turkish-Mediterranean shareables, though pricing concerns and occasional service gaps during busy periods temper the overall experience.
Restaurant Summary
On Fillmore Street, Troya feels warm and relaxed with a steady brunch and dinner hum. Diners talk about friendly, unrushed service and plates that invite sharing. One guest summed it up: "The veggie starters were the kind you keep reaching back for." The cooking leans classic Turkish-Mediterranean with elevated traditional touches rather than flashy fusion: roasted cauliflower with cool tzatziki, crisp brussels sprouts, silky lentil soup, and well-spiced skewers. It suits diners who love vibrant, herb-and-spice driven flavors, mezze to share, and a neighborhood-bistro feel more than a white-tablecloth scene. Families do fine here: fries, skewers, rice, and toasts are approachable, though spicing can be bold. Brunch options like shakshuka and omelettes appeal broadly, but there is no specific kids menu, and value sensitivity is wise for larger groups.
