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

Always a fantastic meal. Have known Ersin for years, even back when Troy was on City Road. One of my favourite meals in Cardiff

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!

Very good (but...). We had the Mixed Grill. It was cooked to a high standard. The risk with this type of food is dryness and over/undercooking - there was nothing of the sort here. The standout was the lamb, followed by the chicken wings. On any future visit, I'd go for a lamb-only dish. The accompanying rice was moist and the salad was fine - it came with a lemon quarter, which was good to squeeze over the dish. The free bread bowl was a welcome addition, best when it (inconsistently) arrived warm to the table.
The ethnic-Indian girl (I don't have her name) waiting on our table did a great job - friendly, effective and efficient.
For the most part, the smoke from the grill is effectively ventilated out of the restaurant interior but nothing's perfect and some is to be expected. The main problem is that there's an unfortunate setup at the rear of the restaurant, where the main dining area and the hand dryer is separated only by a single door (often open). That means diners on tables towards the rear are subjected to frequent full-volume one-minute blasts of the hand dryer, which is hardly makes for a pleasant dining atmosphere. I don't know what the owners can do to solve this, but it would behove them to try. Paper towels would cost more but for them, I think the cost would be worth the improvement to the dining atmosphere.

Delicious, freshly cooked food cooked over hot charcoals. Really generous portions and was informed by staff it was dog friendly which is a plus!

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.

Been eating from Troys for over 15 years, the kebab wraps never miss the mark. Lamb shish, chicken shish, lamb kofta are my go to's.
Leon Dexter
Absolutely lovely kebab, and a nice place for a date night. I'm not a big fan of the chips myself, but my partner loves them.
The selection of meats are delicious, cooked on a big grill in the middle of the restaurant.
If you eat in, the restaurant is a nice place to eat and the staff are very friendly. You can also get food to take away, which was just as nice.

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 there yesterday for my husbands birthday dinner. Had to change the reservation from 6 to 4 as we had some people drop out but this wasn't a problem for them!
Food was amazing, husband and I had seafood and our friends had the meat and it was all cooked perfectly. Reasonably priced for what we ate too!
Lovely atmosphere, great smell!
No stars missing but the music they had on was obviously a CD and kept skipping what as a bunch of millennials we found amusing!

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.

First time visit and will definitely be returning. Came here for a date night meal with my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed it. We are both avid foodies and eat out regularly. A few friends have recommended we try Troy as we enjoy turkish food and we weren't disappointed. Very prompt and friendly service with a waitress happy to answer questions and make recommendations.
We ordered 3 starters to share which came very quickly. There was a mistake made with my mains order where i ordered a mixed sish but the chef cooked a mixed grill which was bigger but they didnt charge us more.
Happy to recommend Troy as a great place for couples, groups or families

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
