Troya in Southend-on-Sea

Two out of the three meals we ordered were incorrect. My husband has dairy allergy so instead of mash asked for chips, but still got mash, I asked for chicken with salad but got lamb with rice!!!

Great service quick and friendly. I had one of the best steaks there.

During a recent business trip to Leigh-On-Sea, I had the pleasure of dining at a Turkish restaurant that truly exceeded my expectations. I opted for the Sea Bass, and it was nothing short of perfection—cooked to absolute tenderness with a remarkable balance of flavors. Accompanied by a fresh, crisp salad and perfectly seasoned potatoes, every element of the meal was simply outstanding. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend Troya for an unforgettable dining experience. In addition, the staff are on point and welcoming and friendly.

Good friendly Turkish restaurant with very reasonable prices and large portions. Good service and nice atmosphere. Gets very busy so always book in advance

A small and really nice place, I always make sure to use independent eating places, if you dont use it, you lose it

Great little Turkish restaurant, nothing to fancy but well cooked food and that was really tasty. My boys loved their mixed grill. Went for the wine from Turkey , young and fresh and a nice little drink. Best Turkish restaurant I've been to in the Southend area over the last few years. Only downside was the panacotta just a bit to firm. Would highly recommend.

My partner and I visited on Sunday evening for the 2nd time. We were greeted with smiles by Katie and sat down at our new favourite table. Katie & Hekim were very attentive all evening, whilst we enjoyed a beautiful 3 course meal and cocktails. Can’t fault the food. I’ve had the mixed meat grill the first time & a mixed seafood grill the second time. I can’t wait to visit again in a few weeks to try the casserole! We have been very well looked after by all the staff, particularly Ismail, the owner. Would highly recommend, but would advise you book in advance as space is limited & gets busy quick!

We ordered Lamb shank and mix grill and both were absolutely delicious! it is halal and portions are good, also good value for money! I recommend it!

This place is the best authentic Turkish restaurant I’ve been to in the southend area. The food was cooked perfectly, the flavours were amazing leaving your mouth watering. This place didn’t disappoint. I was very impressive with everything. I would recommend this place to everyone. I will be there tonight again for a beautiful meal.

Great food, scallops starter was a highlight

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AMAZING, FOOD IS TANTALISING! HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE, ILL NEVER BE THE SAME. THE WAITRESS WAS SO SWEET, WE WENT FOR A CELEBRATION AND GOT A FREE BABY GUINESS SHOT.

One of the best restaurants in Leigh. The owner Ismail and the team are super accommodating. The food is fantastic, never had a bad meal there. They do everything they can to accommodate us every time. As a regular you are made to feel like part of the family. Thank you so much. Jez and Vick x

Went here for some dinner, had the mixed grill, food was amazing, full of flavour and meat was cooked to perfection! Service was 10/10 Food 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Lovely little place to go and eat some Turkish food

Halal restaurant and staff was very welcome and helpful with orders and bookings. Ambiance was family oriented and even though the restaurant is itself small it is a bit pricey. Food options include the grills and platters which can be shared.

I had very pleasant experience. Staff is really helpful and food is extraordinary delicious

Fantastic food and service. They accommodated seven adults and two children with no fuss, provide a great service and every dish was genuinely delicious

Stunning stunning food. So tasty and the staff are on it and friendly. Will defo be back. Did I mention the food is amazing!!! lol.

Enjoyed a fantastic early evening meal here with my 3 teenage children last week. The service was welcoming and courteous and the food was absolutely top notch. Very nice décor, too. Not even the mean old hag sitting on another table across from us clicking her fingers at the waitresses and speaking to them like dirt could dampen what was a great evening all round. Thank you, Troya. Will be returning for sure!

First time of visiting this restaurant. Great food fast service and very helpful. Can't do enough for you . ( Only criticism is much too much chocolate sauce on profita rolls ).

We had a party of 6, the food was delicious and a good price. The staff were all lovely and very attentive.We Will definitely go back.

Had my surprise 70 birthday party with all my children and grandchildren and wife, from start to finish everything was excellent, food always good and the service well thank you all so professional all my children couldn't get over the timing and care you gave us you made it a complete great day thank you again.

Lovely food, great service, reasonable prices and they do Chi.

Me and my husband went here for lunch and we really loved everything. This is the best place so far. I highly recommend to everyone especially who wants to try Turkish food.

Fabulous lunch. Great value. Loads of choice + also a Set Menu most days. Staff are very friendly. Food is consistently excellent. The lightly spiced Chicken Livers starter is outstanding! Worth visiting for that alone. Do try.

Visited for the first time tonight and I could t recommend this restaurant enough food was amazing plenty of flavours meat was succulent and cooked to perfection. Staff were not very and friendly excellent service. Decent price for the amount of food you get definitely worth a visit we will be back here next month for our anniversary.

Delicious freshly prepared food. Lovely friendly staff. Arrived tonight.... being a Monday was surprised it was really busy. Everything was absolutely perfect. I chose the scallop starter.... cooked to perfection, followed by monkfish and lamb shish mains with a side of the most wonderful griddled asparagus. All served piping hot and perfectly seasoned. The chef was clearly really busy but didn't seem at all flustered. We cannot fault anything.....its nice to see the food being prepared through the glass fronted kitchen. Cannot wait to return and definitely my new favourite eatery in leigh.... where most other places other than Alchemy are either average or below par. A huge thumbs up 👍

Very good. Great food, great service. Will definitely go again xx

Since it’s opening it has never disappointed us, consistently at the top, tried the Falafel this time, not big on falafel due to the fact I only ever had bland dry mass produced ones, BUT these are totally the opposite, homemade and very nice, never had falafel like it, well recommended, mains as usual fantastic, such juicy Kofta, rice , salad and bread, perfect, everything fresh. Service always faultless too, 10% charge added, which is acceptable for good food and service.

We had a lovely dinner at Troya and the food and service was impeccable! Tony took great care of us and make cocktails off menu to suit the groups taste. It was my mother-in-laws birthday and having called and spoken to Tony in the day, he arranged a birthday dessert and got everyone singing. Was a wonderful evening (and packed on Monday!) and we'll certainly be back.

Best moussaka I’ve had in years

Excellent food. Charming service. Very good value for money . Will certainly go again.

Passed by at lunchtime intending on going home. Was roped in due to the amazing £12 offer for 2 large courses. Tony was a phenomenal waiter who was super friendly and sharp with the service. Banging!

The food was really good and the service from Tony was great, would recommend

Came for the lunchtime offer, great food and great service from our waiter Tony!

We regularly order take away from Troy’s. The food is consistently delicious - always freshly cooked, generous portions and authentically Turkish.

Another excellent meal at Troya. Great customer service. Will definitely be back soon

Tony delivered amazing service, spot on food and a great atmosphere.

Lovely food. Well presented. Polite, attentive staff. Very clean, relaxed and colourful atmosphere. Would definitely recommend. Will will visiting again.

Amazing food and service!We been meet at the doors by faboulous guy Tony.He did our lunch special.Meat was cooked perfect at open kitchen,so succulent.Highly recommend.Thank you to all staff of Troya

Excellent whenever we have eaten there

Very good food, great service from Tony who served us, will definitely go back. Lamb ribs are amazing 👏

A very nice little resturant with good food and very friendly staff. Would come again

Ordered asparagus only. Arrived beautifully presented with sautéed mushrooms and cherry tomatoes au jus. A totally healthy delicious moreish dish. I'm having it again. And again.

Love this restaurant, the service is great, lovely atmosphere and the food is always delicious. One of my faves in Leigh!

Second visit to here.Really good food and service ( mixed grill ) , Alex The lady who looked after our table was very polite and professional.Reasonable price, Overall 5 Star ⭐..will visit again..

Last minute decision to go as a walk in and try it as like Turkish food. Food was good, given free bread and dips before our meal, service was quick but not pushy, varied menu, friendly staff, would come again.

Very good as always, but very very expensive.

Such good value and good food. Generous portions.

Food was amazing alongside the service. First time here and we will definitely be back. Food was fresh and nothing was dry. Definitely recommended

Amazing place, great food, the best staff, 👌

Absolutely delicious food! I came for the lunch deal, £12.99 for two courses- starter and main. Delicious food and lovely service, highly recommend 🤗 great menu choices too! They cater to vegetarians too

Love the food there. Bit smaller place but everything else was really mouth watering. And the kebabs were all Halal

Had another enjoyable evening at Troya, always brilliant food and service! We come here multiple times a month and never disappoints, such lovely staff.

I invited my whole family for a leaving meal before I left for Australia and the food & service was impeccable! Everything was delicious and the cocktails were perfect. 10/10 thank you!

Had a wonderful meal for my birthday yesterday. The food was exceptional, the atmosphere & service were great & when he clocked it was my birthday, out server got everyone (!) to sing & put a candle in my dessert ! It was reasonably priced, too. Will definitely go there again.

Celebrated my wife Laura's birthday @ Troya and would recommend as the food, service and atmosphere were excellent. Had a 10 minute wait as full house but were given complentry drinks whilst waiting. Laura had Scallops for starter followed by Monkfish and I had the Steak, both excellent. They served a free birthday cheesecake for Laura and free shots along with a very generous discount for the earlier wait. Thank you Troya for a great evening !

Great food and wonderful staff! Jeffrey and Alex were outstanding.

Went for my mum’s birthday dinner - good food, great service and the mocktails were amazing!

Very friendly staff and good food. A place once discovered it has to be visited again.

Food is great. Alex is the best waitress ever a real asset to the business

I had such a lovely meal at Troya this evening for my birthday with my family. We were a big table of 10 and they were so accommodating. The service was the best service I have had in a long time. All the staff were fantastic, attentive, kind and super friendly, especially to my two little girls. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. Thank yoi

Amazing and Well worth the experience, was really tasty

Yesterday my wife and i went to Troya for their lunch menu. It was my first visit , my wife had been in the evening before and loved it so we tried their lunch. The experience was perfect from start to finish. We were greeted warmly and given our choice of where to sit. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. I had the whitebait and my wife had calamarie to start. Both were really good but we agreed the calamarie was probably the best we've ever had, it was superb. For mains i had the seabass and my wife the chicken shish, they were well presented and both were delicious. It was a hot day and we had a bottle of white wine which was well chilled and well priced. The lunch menu was real quality and value for money. As i say the whole experience was perfect, we will be back !

Very good service and food, had very pleasant everning.

Truly excellent experience, food, staff, ambience all great I actually wasn't hungry but had to wait for something for a couple of hours and saw Troya right in the next street with very high review score, so I decided to check it. It is truly outstanding. Staff were excellent, polite, courteous and attentive. Very clean including small but very nice bathroom and food was delicious. Many thanks

Great food and atmosphere, highly recommended

Great place. Fun atmosphere with good food

Very pleasant atmosphere. A wonderful menu. High level of service.

Great lunch menu and lamb ribs for the eve menu, service always excellent!

Very nice food 😋. The owner and staff are very friendly.

Good food served by friendly staff at reasonable prices

Absolutely delicious! One of the best turkish restaurants in Southend especially for occasions. Went there on the weekend to celebrate my sisters birthday & it did not dissapoint. The service is also amazing & lovely atmoshphere. We ordered Calamari, falafels, Chicken beyti, mixed grill, Steak and adana kofte. Every single item was beyond delicious except the falafels which were a bit overcooked. Overall it was too good, can't wait to visit again. The staff was very attentive and polite including the manager.

Really enjoy going to Troya food and service always great !

Such wonderful food will definitely be back

Order from this place of Uber Eats and its a gamble if they cancel the order or not, foods really nice but it's so frustrating that they cancelled 8/10 times. Great food though and I understand why they could but that's why I gave only 4 stars

The food was absolutely delicious. 1stly I was afraid of Halal food then the young lady ensured me that they do everything Halal. Great food and environment in Leigh. Will go soon!

Went for my Wife's 50th birthday this evening. Starters were absolutely spot on. 10/10. Mains were fantastic and we were at this point too full to try any sweets although the ones we saw come out looked amazing. Great food, great service, Great value. Will definitely be returning.

We had a lovely time and the food was nice, the young lady that served us was very nice and attentive, had the service charge not been added on already then we would have left a tip but because you did add the charge then I can't tip twice. Very reasonably priced for our entire meal and the only reason we didn't give it a 5 star all the way through was because of the service charge and the presentation could have been slightly better especially with the salads. Overall very good.

Lovely food, friendly staff, will definitely be our go to Turkish restaurant from now on. Just be aware of the table by the open grill in the kitchen! Wow it’s hot sitting there. We had to move, as did another couple.

Had an amazing night out with my family for a special occasion, the only thing I can say is wow! We all shared the starters but the calamari stuck out for me! Staff were amazing and everything else was spot on. Highly recommend

Amazing food definitely will go back the lamb shish with yogurt was perfection and calimari was the best I've had

Food was top tier, service was very smooth and attentive, and the price was definitely reasonable for what we got. Overall we had a fantastic time and will definitely be returning soon!

Ate troya ganoush and vegetarian mousakka and was delicious

Can't fault, lovely food , friendly professional service 5🌟

Food was really lovely, very kid friendly very nice place to eat at.

Had my 30th birthday meal here. From booking to the meal everything was seamless. The lady taking my booking was polite and friendly. Then the day came and they were all ready for us. The waitress took our drinks orders as we were all arriving. Then took our food order as soon as everyone was ready. the starters came out quickly and were delicious and the bread for the table was out of this world. Then the mains arrived. Oh my god it was delicious. I got a mixed grill. There was so much and it tasted amazing. Everyone in our party agreed that they would definitely come back. Then when it came to paying we were very presently surprised how cheap it all was. We will be back very soon!

Me and my husband went out for our anniversary meal, we love a turkish takeaway but decided to go for a meal. The food was amazing and we would recommend to anyone, staff were amazing.

Food was great and restaurant itself was very family friendly which is important as I have a crazy toddler! Accommodated to dietary needs. Will return

Excellent food and great service. Definitely reccomend for a good meal out!

Had a takeaway from these guys and cannot fault it from start to finish. Easy to order from, Food was quality (especially the Mousaka) Delivery service was spot on, earlier than expected and great customer service. Highly recommend and will be returning once again!

I went here on a work lunch and the food was incredible as well as the service being so good i couldn’t fault it anywhere.

Came here after hearing good reviews and it literally did not disappoint! Food was so nice full of flavour but aside from the food the customer service was great! The waiter we had made sure we was taken care of everything we needed he got it straight away 10/10!! Super friendly, really good price considering some of the Turkish restaurant prices around. I have seen a few comments about it being small, the size of the restaurant doesn’t affect the dining in a negative way at all, if anything it provides a more personal experience as there are less people to attend to. Would definitely recommend others to try it out here and will be returning! Thank you!

We got a choice of where we wanted to sit, great selection of foods on the menu, one waitress called Alex went above and beyond and made the whole experience more enjoyable and memorable. We will definitely be going back soon.

First time in, and will definitely be there again. Helpful staff. Amazing food. And very accommodating when I asked if the menu could be changed to suit. Can't recommend enough. Thanks very much.

Great meal with great service. I had the the chicken kebab which was cooked perfectly and my friend had lamb chops which were excellent as well

Gorgeous food, amazing staff, lovely atmosphere!! The staff go above and beyond 😀
