Troia is a Turkish restaurant in the County Hall building on Belvedere Road, a short walk from the London Eye and the South Bank. It is a small, intimate room, dimly lit, with coloured-glass lamps that give it an Anatolian feel and large mirrors that make it seem bigger.
The menu covers a long meze list, charcoal-grilled kebabs, casseroles and seafood, plus some pasta and salads for less adventurous eaters. Turkish dishes include yaprak sarma, imam bayıldı, humus kavurma, Adana and İskender kebabs and çoban kavurma, with baklava and güllaç among the desserts.
It suits a meal before or after the London Eye, the Southbank Centre or a show nearby, and it works for families too.

Atmosphere and good to know
The kebabs are made with halal-certified meat, according to the South Bank’s own guide. The drinks list has included Efes beer and rakı alongside soft drinks and ayran. There is a children’s menu and a decent vegetarian section.
Because it is so close to the big South Bank attractions, it can fill up at weekends and in the school holidays, so book if you are set on a particular time.
