After 24 visits to Troy over the last three years we now realise the only reason we go back is for the food, particularly the Chicken Wings which are superb. If we went because we appreciate good service we would probably never go back again. Troy has always employed a succession of untrained and unmotivated waiting staff who are experts in loosing their employer re-order income. Once the meal arrives, that will be the last time you will see a waitress. Forget it if you want more drinks or a desert. In my 24 visits, I was only ever offered a second drink 4 times and deserts once And usually when they are clearing the plates. Be sure before you go that you can handle appalling service. By

First time visiting Troy Meze Bar and we will be back. Service, menu and food quality were all excellent. The owner was keen to ensure we were having a great experience after a very slight delay in being seated. Couldn't fault it.

Attended Troy's tonight for a family meal to celebrate a 50th birthday. Amazing staff, friendly and very helpful. Food was excellent, even though there were 25 of us they served all our meals together. Thank you for everything, we all had a great time.

We don’t come often but we really enjoy our visits here. Service was attentive and helpful. Loved the food. Everything tasted so fresh. We had the mixed grills which were a lot of meat. The price is so reasonable for the quality you get. Buzzy atmosphere and busy when we were here so book.

Visited twice, both bad. First visit, was one of the only tables there at lunchtime as who we think is the owner/manager screamed down the phone to some sort of electric or phone company about bills. This went on for a while and he didn't seem bothered by us. Our second visit was part of a larger group. This time sat and watched as the person on grill (which is right in the middle of the restaurant) sat and cooked our food, the whole time staring at his phone as it looked like he was betting on football! Seeming to get annoyed by orders coming in . The food we were served was a lot smaller than our previous visit a few months ago, perhaps half the size. Although quiet food was so slow. It took so long to get our lamb cooking and we watched it cook for far longer than needed. They have cocktail menus for their new bar upstairs on the tables, we asked the staff how to get to the bar as there didn't seem to be any stairs upstairs. Rather than answering they went and checked with the manager if it was open, he said yes and to take us up. We followed the waiter through the toilets which was odd and out a fire exit, at first thinking it would be perhaps a secret bar. But no, they took us through a dirty kitchen, the stairs had beer boxes and rubbish on and we had to walk passed another staff member sitting on these stairs in the dark! The waiter ran up ahead and turned the lights on. We followed to a closed and dark bar, we said we'd not bother but they told us someone would be with us soon so we sat alone in silence. We waited 10mins and another member of staff ran up, asked us to wait as he got the bar ready. We waited longer in silence and finally ordered some cocktails, hoping to enjoy their advertised happy hour. We were then told they stopped doing cocktails, as me and my partner held a full cocktail menus! He said he could serve us spirits and beer but not cocktails despite the bar being covered in cocktail equipment and even more cocktail menus. Cocktails advertised on a screen, menus on every table and a poster outside. We left for Cosy Lounge. We won't return.

Never let me down. Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent staff. Love it. I always sit at the counter. No pretension. No need for it. Just quality. (Note please it is a Meze Bar. If you didn’t want to see meat cooking on the grill you should have read the sign.)

Very disappointed. Went out for my husbands birthday, portions were tapas sizes and very over priced. Also, we struggled to get past a large group of people that were just left looking clueless in the doorway. Also, was very plain. Not much flavour. Do not recommend at all and we will not be returning.

This has got to be the best Mediterranean restaurant in Cardiff. To be honest, I compare Mediterranean restraints wherever I go in the world to it. The food is all cooked in front of you on a charcoal barber. Their meat marinades are legendary. You must try their signature chicken wings with rice, salad and toasted Turkish bread with the most amazing red pepper and mild chilli sauce. I’ve asked , Ersan the owner, for the receipt but has says he would have kill me before I leave. Make no mistake, Nothing else compares in all of Wales, I know because I’ve tried them all. Enjoy.

Food freshly cooked to order. Lovely atmosphere. The mixed grill and salad was delicious accompanied by a lovely red wine. We would definitely go again. Highly reccomend this place.

Really enjoyed our visit to Troy, we were not sure what to expect when sitting upstairs in the new bar but the food and drinks we fantastic. Some reviews suggested to order sides as main don't come with anything, but all mains came with plenty of rice, salad and dips. We shared 3 meze platters and 2 mixed grills between 4 of us with some extra fries and we were shocked with how much food there was, they gave complimentary dips and bread with main meals and even though we technically ordered 2 mains between 4 they still brought full portions of bread. We got there just in time for happy hour before 7pm and ordered cocktails each. We were again pleasantly surprised with the waiter came over at 7 and asked if we wanted to get more cocktails before the offer ended. He could have easily waited and we may have ordered at full price. They were very busy downstairs as they are most weekends, the bar was a nice quieter setting for us. We went expecting it being a quick and casual kebab/grill house dining setting but were really surprised at the level of service and quality of the cocktail/bar menu

Went to Troy for Father’s Day with my wife and son, booked a table for 2pm turned up on time no table ready we were told to wait outside, 15 minutes later nobody had come to speak to us so my wife went back in and asked what was going on, we were then taken to a table upstairs in a area that wasn’t open. We sat on the terrace which was ok actually, starters were cheap but I think the calamari was frozen ( 99% sure ) I had 4 tiny falafal … I then ordered a mixed grill £14.50 when it arrived it was tiny, fries had to be ordered separate at a cost. Mixed grill was missing some items so I brought this to the waiters attention he then turned up with some chicken shish pieces, was ok but compared to other grill houses In cardiff this is the worse experience I’ve had. Bill came to £70 we were all still hungry when we left, customer service is non existent here !!!

Sadly disappointed, Have eaten here several times with my family and the last 2 occasions the portions of chicken have become so small and was still Hungary after the meal. Satay on City rd Jane much larger portions also free apple tea and a piece of baklava. There are other restaurants also in the area which give complimentary tea And baklava and larger portions. Sorry, we are paying good money for little in return . I have many friends who feel the same and won’t be returning.

Wellfield Road is a trendy/eclectic area with lots of bars, coffee shops and independent businesses; it's the sort of area where I would spend a lot of my leisure time if I lived locally. We had a meal out following a sales meeting; we'd reserved the upstairs dining area as there were about 15 - 20 of us in total. The plan was that we were having a buffet but when we got to the restaurant, they hadn't factored this in and we all had to order off the menu instead. The food was OK, it certainly wasn't great but neither was it terrible; I suppose I'd say it was unremarkable overall. I am fine with spicy food, but one of the dips that came with my (shared) starter gave me terrible heartburn and acid all night, although the dip itself wasn't particularly spicy/hot

I used to be a regular at Troy - tasty food, good portions and great atmosphere. My last visit was a group of 6 of us, we asked for mixed meze to start and a shared mixed grill for main course. We were each charged £20 per main course, even though we could have gotten the standard mixed grill on the menu for £16.50. The food was as nice as always, however the portions are now significantly smaller, we left the restaurant hungry. We were also seated in the new upstairs earlier, which lacked atmosphere. I don’t think the classical music helped. Will not be returning - far better options on City Road that are just as good, far cheaper, with bigger portions.

Ordered a meal and asked for a small amount of yoghurt dip (cacik) instead of the standard mayo and chilli pots. The owner refused saying cacik is a side dish and that's how he makes his money, then said oh ok but I mustn't tell anyone. Handed over £10 and waited. When the meal was ready, the owner spoke to a staff member and it seemed to me that he called me curse word in Turkish. I've spent two decades around Turkish speakers. I very politely asked the owner if he had just referred to me in insulting terms. He exploded, saying he is Kurdish not Turkish, then screamed the same insult at me, this time in English, told me he would call the police and 'threatened' to bar me from the restaurant. The other staff present said nothing. I tried to hand over the food and asked for my money back. He refused, continuing to abuse me. I left and gave the food to the first Street person I came across who wanted to eat.

Ocho de nosotros visitamos para celebrar 2 cumpleaños el domingo a la hora del almuerzo y, una vez más, tuvimos un gran servicio, una comida encantadora. El servicio es realmente amable y servicial y nuestros entrantes llegaron rápidamente (además de aceitunas y pan gratis). Los platos principales también se sirvieron rápidamente y todos estaban muy calientes y perfectamente cocinados. Hemos estado aquí al menos 4 veces y mi pareja siempre tiene la lubina ya que está perfectamente preparada. Los tavuk shish (brochetas de pollo) son suculentos y tiernos, así que son los favoritos de mi hija. Soy vegetariano y hay muchas opciones en el meze frío y caliente: me encanta todo lo que he pedido, aunque la muska boregi (como pequeñas samosas rellenas de queso feta y perejil derretidos) son probablemente las mejores que he probado en mi vida. Gran lugar para comer y esperamos la próxima vez.

Ordered takeaway for my sons birthday but when arrived home the rice was missing, bread cold and prawn dish given was starter and not main. Called to complain and were able to collect remainder of order but in the meantime rest of meal was cold. The person I spoke to about it was quite rude and I don’t think it was particularly good value for money or very nice. Shame. Went there because of previous good reviews but won’t go back.

We went on a week day, still was very busy but they still managed to fit us in. We ordered a couple of starters, they were very tasty. For main courses we had a troy special and a chicken shish, which was amazing. The value of money is also great. The staff work very hard, but are very polite and welcoming. We will definitely come back.☺️

Yo, mi esposo y mi hijo de 2 años decidimos probar este lugar. Una vez que llegamos, nos quedamos alrededor de 5 minutos y cuando un miembro del personal vino al bar, le preguntamos si la comida era Halal y ella respondió: "¿Qué significa halal? ". Una vez que finalmente descubrimos el taco de comida halal, alguien tardó otros 5 minutos en sentarnos. Mi hijo estaba en su silla de paseo y esto parecía ser un problema. La porción de comida era muy pequeña, habíamos pedido una parrillada mixta y el personal parecía muy irritable como si no fuéramos bienvenidos allí. No volveremos y no es apto para niños / niños pequeños.

Reasonable price. Service is not the best, staff energy level very low. Chargrilled food is good. Salad was great. Turkish pizza was not available which was disappointing. This place could be amazing but currently just ok.

It used to be one of our favourite place to eat when it was in city road. After it moved to Wellfield road it’s not the same .. ordered the Troy special and a sheesh kebab was very dry. Both were a bit salty and portion size reduced and the place...it’s just not the same vibe. The place was crowded and looked busy so it could just be ‘we went on a bad day’ but I could only rate what’s on my plate and how it tasted.

Went here on a Saturday night with a group of 6. Table booked for 8.30pm, we were seated immediately despite the resteraunt being full. The food was very tasty and reasonable portions. Our waitress was very polite and worked hard (reflected in the tip we left). All in all very good.

We were looking forward to coming to this restaurant and quite frankly it was a big disappointment. We booked a table for 5 and came on time but had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. We then ordered sharing platters and were told it’s £17 per head for a platter which is ridiculous given that La Shish, Lilo and Saray on city road do amazing sharing platters and don’t charge per head for it (and they’re much nicer too!) We ended up with a bill of £90 in the end which was a rip off for the amount of food we had. The main guy who runs the place has a short temper on him and got annoyed with my relative for complaining about a drink they had. Service was slow. Not coming again - you are better off going to a real Turkish restaurant which is Saray on city road!

I had heard a lot about this place and visited on a Sunday evening when we though5 we would easily get a table but it was packed. We were lucky and a table became free soon after we arrived.

Will not be going back! After being a happy customer of the city road restaurant, I have visited the new Wellfield Rd restaurant a few time and also obtained take away I live very near by. Unfortunately, I have been disappointed every time and the place seems to have lost the City Rd charm it once had. The food is still tasty but the portions are now much smaller. The biggest disappointment is the service, the staff appear irritated that you are there. My friend and I were completely ignored for about 5 minutes when we first walked in and were left stood at the bar like spare parts. Even just a nod of the head would have sufficed. Then the staff couldn’t find that table that I had booked for 6.45pm (they had written my name down wrong). Then the man very rudely told my friend and I off for being late, which we weren’t. I used to always recommend this place as one of the best in Cardiff but after this hostile interaction, I shalln’t be going back. We went to Chai St instead (bit further down) and had a lovely thali and incredible service.

A table of 7 of us went on a Sunday night and the owner cooked as all a mixed meal with some extra quails. The bread is so tasty. A waitress has a fabulously unique sense of humour which we got. A definite winner on wellfield road and close to the cameo club which is also great for a pre / post drink.

Excellent wine and food pairing with great service. This small restaurant has a coffee shop attached. Their food is always based on fresh local ingredients and is prepared and served in a fresh contemporary style. The black pudding fried meatballs were fantastic and the scallops were large and well sauced

Second visit to Laguna Kitchen and bar. First visit we found service to be slow, but the restaurant was full and very busy. This time we went earlier as it was a pre theatre meal. The restaurant only had 5 tables full, but yet again the service particularly the drinks service was painfully slow. 20 mins before we had our first drinks and this was only after I had to ask where our drinks were, I also had to get the waiter's attention later on for more drinks. Starters had Scallops, Pate`,Goats cheese and beetroot. A good portion of Pate` with chutney but why scrimp on the toast? There was only enough for half the Pate` Main courses we had Pork belly, and the Steak. Both good but there was no crackling with the pork belly. Dessert Chocolate Fondant was delicious but why have caramel ice cream? This was too sweet, a vanilla or clotted cream ice cream would cut through the richness of the Fondant so much better.

Love this deli for absolutely delicious food and drinks. There is always something tasty to try. The staff there are so helpful and knowledgeable. They also have a lovely café upstairs with products from the shop. Highly recommended for a visit.
