Compared to the other kebab shops I’ve visited on my quest, Troy is unique. Firstly, there’s a huge open fire pit dominating the restaurant. Watching the chef cooking kebabs and coordinating service from his seat at the barbecue adds a bit of drama to your meal. It’s a bit like watching dad doing the annual barbecue except this bloke knows what he’s doing. Secondly, because of Troy’s Turkish roots, the menu is different. Starters of borek and lahmacun, meats including lamb’s liver & grilled quails, and a huge selection of yoghurt based kebabs add to Troy’s broad repetoire. Whilst I pored over the menu, I necked a bottle of Efes pilsner (£2.80) and munched on a bowl of complimentary pimento stuffed olives. To start I ordered a plate of tarama (£3.20). Familiarly pink, smooth and delicately fishy , I mopped the huge portion up with a bowl of warm bread. Shortly after, the kebab followed... The kebab – Karisik kebab (£10.95) Meat – A fine selection of adana kofte (lamb kofte), cop sis (la
Lovely little place serving great food. Nice relaxed atmosphere, very clean and well laid out. You can actually see the food being cooked on the charcoal grill, we were sat right by it!
4 big lads we all enjoyed the Troy special mixed grill in the photo. It wasn't as big as it read on the menu, but that was a good thing as we were all stuffed from it! Turkish beer was good too.
Would recommend this place to anyone.
Great food. Very friendly service. Completely reasonable price.
Best chicken I have ever had and the baklava was delicious
As we like to eat out quite a bit we decided to give troy meze a sample , and was not disappointed. Staff are so friendly and helpful. We managed to sit directly across from the grill where they were cooking all different meats over the charcoals. We were presented with breads and dips for free to start 😋 for main course I went for the mixed shish with rice and salad . Was delicious. Safe to say we will definitely be back 👌
Visited here in June on recommendation from a friend.
Staff were very welcoming on arrival and we were seated upstairs/outside on a lovely evening.
For food we ordered the Hot meze for two as a starter - Highly recommend
For mains we both had the Tavuk Shish - again highly recommend.
For desert then you can’t go wrong with there Baklava.
Food was excellent and tasted extremely fresh.
Can’t wait to go back
Many thanks
SOOO so tasty!!! really recommend it here, really good food, homely warm and comforting food. Really friendly staff and great atmosphere.
Recommend the aubergine dip!
Always a fantastic meal. Have known Ersin for years, even back when Troy was on City Road. One of my favourite meals in Cardiff
What a great place. Exceptional value for money. Really lovely staff. Food is simple but yummy
The staff was so friendly and welcoming, nothing was to much trouble . The food was incredible! We had the cold mezze platter to start , everything was so fresh and flavoursome. For mains between us we choose chicken shish and mixed grill , the meat was cooked beautifully so tender and full of flavour and the salad was the best I've ever tasted. Such good value for money. Looking forward to dining at this lovely independent restaurant in the future.
The best place around. Owner is a character and so nice. Wonderful time on each visit. Great quality food and not stingy. Very accommodating. How a customer experience should be, although I did prefer the old premises. Still great nonetheless.
Delicious, freshly cooked food cooked over hot charcoals. Really generous portions and was informed by staff it was dog friendly which is a plus!
Great place to catch up with friends, and the food was lovely.
Really nice food and friendly guy who served our food. Will definitely go again.
Amazing food . Very tasty plenty of options great service .
The Troy special is my favourite but I recommend it all

I have been going to Troy since they first opened in their old premises around 15 years ago both as a takeaway and an eat in customer. I used to visit frequently but I no longer live in Cardiff. I make sure that I visit every time I come back, maybe every 3 months.
The food is stunning, Troy offers an authentic Turkish menu and a variety of drinks. My go to is the lamb shish but I have had the Mantar kebab the last couple of times adding mushroom to the kebab and also have an additional kofta.
As said the food is stunning, it is selected and cooked right in front of your eyes on the charcoal grill, there is nothing hidden about the experience at Troy.
The service is always fantastic, the owner Ersin is a very friendly and engaging person and likes to build a rapport with his customers. Troy isn't a faceless place with no personality, I feel like I am visiting an old friend when I go there and Ersin always recognises me even when I haven't been there for months and comes straight over to say hello.
My father visited for the first time tonight and he commented that the atmosphere made him feel like he was visiting somewhere on holiday.
If you are in Cardiff make sure you visit, enjoy the stunning food and soak up the atmosphere of this fantastic venue.
Went in this great little Mediterranean restaurant to find a spotless dining area and the wonderful smell of cooking food. Salivating before I even took my seat.
The menu was full of fantastic food, so ordered a couple of small plates for a starter, then a mix of meats for a main. Crikey the portions were big. And the food was beautifully cooked. Tasted fantastic! Watching the food being prepared was an event too.
Service was second to none. Had a warm welcome. Felt looked after. Not rushed.
Will be heading there again soon!
Had a lovely meal today at Troy’s the food was outstanding!! A Very friendly and welcoming restaurant. All the staff where very polite and the service was brilliant. Very well organised for safety during the pandemic. Highly recommend to try, will most definitely be coming back here this week.
