Troy Food Cart

Although this truck serves NY gyro style food but it’s different. It has a unique way by using yogurt instead of the regular white sauce which is more Mediterranean approach.
Don’t miss their combo beef and chicken over rice platter, its fantastic.

For some reason, it took me a whole year of living at 39^th and Locust to go to Troy. I am sad I missed out for that whole year!
The first time I went to Troy, I had the lahmacun (pronouced lahmajun). This is a common Turkish food, which many people call «Turkish Pizza.» It is a flat bread covered with ground meat, spices, lettuce, and tomato. It is only $ 3 at Troy. I had a ton of lahmacun while I was in Turkey for four months, and they were always very large. So I was expecting this one to be large too and I was thinking that I would be getting a great deal. But it turned out to be incredibly small. It was very delicious though! While it is not large enough to be a whole meal, it makes a great appetizer or snack!
The next time I went to Troy, I had the chicken wrap. Oh man, it was amazing! The meat was SO flavorful. So, now I just always stick with the chicken wrap.
Definitely a great place to go for anyone in the area. The man who owns it is from Istanbul and is very friendly.

This is place is quite the bargain. Not only do they offer good Mediterranean options on the go, but they make them well. One of the better options as far as food trucks go close to campus

If you are debating on getting the new York gyro or troy, go for Troy.
The pita is nice and soft but it isn’t so thick that you just get full off of the bread. The falafels were not as dry as the other food trucks around and were more enjoyable. Also the line actually goes quicker that other middle Easter trucks which was surprising because it is smaller and has a longer line that hanan across the street.
The one plus about this place is that they have a mild hot sauce which is pretty good and also they have siracha if you want that too.
The portions are good and you get a free drink which is needed because the food here is sort of salty depending on what you get.
Overall this is a pretty solid food middle eastern food truck on campus

This food cart gets busy during the lunch rush so be prepared to wait a few minutes before you order. The food is very reasonably priced, and the free drink is an extra incentive to wait out the crowd. The beef kabob wrap is also pretty big for its price. Overall this food cart is a good call for any lunch situation.

If you are standing within 100 yards of 38^th & Spruce during the day, you will likely find yourself starting to get hungry. Then you’ll ask yourself, why did I just get so hungry? And you’ll realize that it’s the penetrating, wafting smell of grilling meat that’s whet your appetite.
After following your nose, Toucan Sam style, you will find the Troy food cart. There will likely be a few people in line ahead of you. At this point, you have a decision: 1) Wait and get some delicious grilled chicken, or 2) go to the NY Gyro cart right next to them. I generally evaluate this based on how much time I have. The Troy line moves pretty slowly, I guess because they have to grilled the meat. If there is no more than a person or two in front of me and I have time, I will go here. Otherwise, I might go elsewhere.
In terms of food, I usually get the grilled chicken over rice. The chicken is nicely grilled and charred, and comes on a nice bed of rice with a little side salad. They will offer you white sauce (yogurt), red sauce (light spiciness), and sriracha is an option. I usually get everything on it. It’s a nice, tasty, relatively healthy lunch, and you won’t feel too weighed down after eating it (like you would, say, if you opted for the giant-​burrito truck).
The cart’s operators are very friendly, and for $ 5 for your food plus a drink, it’s a good deal too. Definitely recommend (if the line isn’t too long).

After being deterred by its long line the first time, I finally made it to Troy.
They serve the standard gyros and chicken over rice with a white sauce and a hot sauce (as well as an option of sriracha if you wish).
I got the chicken over rice, and thought it was nothing spectacular. The rice lacked flavor, and the «white sauce» was essentially just sour cream. The chicken itself was ok, but not juicy or tender enough.
With so many gyro trucks along Spruce, Troy has got to step up its game.

They have some of the best most tender, succulent, flavorful beef in University City, not just among food trucks but among restaurants!
I always get their beef platter! Comes with rice, veggies and a grape leaf wrap!
Deilicous!

This place is one of my favorite food carts to go to. The lamb gyro is fantastic — much better than most other carts and even better than most brick-​and-​mortar stores I’ve been to around here. The owner is a super nice guy who’s always very friendly. Service is prompt — but not suspiciously quick, as they prepare everything to order. Overall, great food and great service.

I decided to give Troy a try after getting a message on Unilocal.The reviews seemed decent and I found out a couple of my co-​workers were big fans.
I was recommended to get the beef. This was probably not the best idea. The beef was a little tougher than I like, although tasty.
I tend to like white sauce at these type of places. Usually, it doesn’t taste like full on yogurt sauce. Troy’s did however. Not my thing. The hot sauce was okay.
I really liked the rice they used. It was definitely the highlight of me meal. I might go back and try the chicken, but I am not certain. I might just decide to stick with the places I know I like, since they are more my thing.
