Troy Mediterranean Cuisine

There’s a special restaurant in Savannah—Troy Mediterranean Cuisine—that flies under the radar a bit, maybe because it’s off the beaten path, but this is your sign to get out and explore. Set in an unassuming strip mall off of busy Abercorn St., stepping inside, you will find a very hospitable and friendly team, waiting to provide attentive service and flavorful Mediterranean cuisine.

A large mural depicting a welcoming dining area by the ocean adjacent to the wine rack, compliments the restaurant’s ambiance.

The dining room feels classy and open, with large, comfortable booths lining the walls and center aisle. The bustling kitchen is positioned at the main entrance near the hostess, and when you step inside, you can feel the energy of the busy cooks and kitchen staff executing the evening’s orders with precision.

The meal begins with a basket of freshly baked warm bread, brought to the table with a softened, savory butter which cannot be underrated. So few restaurants understand these basic concepts – spreadable butter, with a whipped consistency, served with warm bread promises attention to detail and sets the tone for the remaining meal to come.

My handsome husband Kurt wraps cheese around a warm triangle of pita bread, our favorite app.

You must order the Sizzling Provolone – this is a non-negotiable. What’s not to love about piping hot cheese, served with warm pita triangles in cast iron? We look forward to this dish at every visit. I also recommend the Stuffed Grape Leaves, served with chilled lemon dressing.

The Spring Salad with candied walnuts, Gorgonzola cheese and balsamic dressing.

FYI: The salads on the menu are available as entrees or side salads. The staff is so accommodating; just ask if there is anything you have questions about.

I never typically order chicken as my entree when dining out, because it is the protein I cook the most at home. However, on this evening, the idea of lemon potatoes sounded so good, I had to try it. Oven-roasted quarter leg, lemon potatoes, and fresh vegetables, such as squash, red onion and zucchini. It was Some Kinda Good, and I sopped up the lemon butter sauce with the soft bread leftover from the beginning of the meal.

Kurt ordered the Merlot braised lamb shank, served with potatoes au gratin (my weakness!!), and the fresh vegetables. He ate every drop with no complaints. If I had one critique as a chef, the plating could be a bit more refined. Other popular menu offerings include chicken kabobs, mixed seafood stew and filet mignon. The food is so fresh and bright, and I only wished I worked a little closer to them so I could go for lunch and try the amazing sandwich selection. On my next visit, I plan to order the whole wheat mango wrap.

What is not pictured is the Blueberry Mascarpone Cake we took home for dessert. As the website indicates, this is “a place where food, design, and ambiance come together to create a memorable experience.” Visit for a date night, with a group of friends, or on your own. You’ll be glad you did!
