After walking past all of our tried and true spots on Clement (Q, Burma Super Star, etc.), my friend and I happened upon Troya. It had a great energy going already... almost all of the tables were full, even though it was fairly early on a Friday night. Plus, the menu looked good and we were in the mood for Middle Eastern cuisine, so we wandered in. The entire experience was very positive, from start to finish. The humus was the best I've had in the city (very light, and really good quality olive oil on top), my entree (beyti... ground lamb wrapped in lavash) had the most amazing tomato yogurt and butter sauce, and we even discovered an incredible wine (Root:1 cabernet from Chile... try it if you like juicy Zins, but not quite as ""big""/tannic). The food, ambience and service far exceeded expectations, and the price was less than I'd expect for this sort of place. Good date or group place, and I think they're open for lunch too so if you're in the neighborhood and looking for something more casual try it then. Places that do it right like this deserve more business, otherwise I'd be keeping my mouth shut for fear of finding no space when next I wander in ;-) Enjoy!
Pros: Good humus, beyti
Cons: Parking in the neighborhood can be tough
