Was Josh at Troy a mag?
The term hidden gem is grossly overused in online reviews, but this establishment fully deserves the title. I used to get lunch here at least once weekly; its portion-size-to-value-to-deliciousness ratio unbeatable by a country mile for the area. I finally visited for a Jam evening and was blown away by the talent of the musicians. A fantastic place to spend an evening. Pro-tip: order the combo. View all feedback.

This restaurant truly offers the most affordable and delicious Caribbean cuisine, especially with their lunch combo specials. I always come here for the jerk chicken and grilled fish, which are absolutely fantastic. The meals even come with plantains and salads at no additional cost.

This restaurant is a wonderful spot to enjoy some high-quality live music performed by the house band. If you are a fan of live music, be sure to check it out. The only downside is that the bouncers can be impolite and disrespectful at times. Keep in mind that this venue only accepts cash payments.

Amazing venue with a unique style and very focused on music. The musicians who play at Troy bar are elite. I'm a regular at Troy bar on Thursdays reggae, definitely the best live reggae bar in London and probably the only one. I've seen some amazing musicians there including Junior Marvin, former the weillers guitar player. Definitely one of a kind bar in London. The jerk chicken is a must if you ever visit this bar.

Another strange thing about the restaurant is that they only accept cash for entrance fees and food, but they do accept card payments for drinks. It's puzzling that they have the capability to accept card payments but choose not to. Additionally, they do not accept Scottish banknotes, which is against the law. I would recommend finding another place to go, as there are better options nearby. I did not try the food, but I observed the kitchen and noticed poor hygiene practices.

Another odd thing about the place, besides the rude management, is that they only accept cash for the entrance fee and food, but you can pay for drinks with a card. It's curious that they have the capability to accept all payments by card but choose not to. Additionally, they do not accept banknotes issued by Scottish banks, even though refusing them is against the law!

I am not a big Jazz fan, but I came to this place with a few friends for a drink on a Friday night after dinner and the atmosphere was really nice.You have to pay a cover to get in, but there is a really nice live music and it was not crowded so it was okay. We got a table quite easily and the music was not too loud so we could chat. Drinks were not very expensive and I also found my favourite amaretto di Saronno and was really happy about. Good place to hang out with friends .

This is a little unpretentious place with some good live performances. If you want to enjoy a private meal, there's place away from the performers too. The food is good and it's a simple affair. A nice, comfortable place to enjoy a dinner with family.

Do not eat here trust me. found foreign objects in the food and received bad customer service! Said it's not their problem! never will I eat here again. Also food bit pricey for what you get, was disappointed with the grill fish, not in taste but the flimsy small portion which is not really the type of fish you will expect from a Caribbean menu. The rice came with no gravy so food tasted dry. When asked for some gravy or sauce, it was like I was cursing with the attitude I received. Apart from that good vibes and stage presence. Customer service let this place down big time, ruined my night.

Used to love this venue but brought my friends here last night only to be rejected because we were ‘stumbling’ and ‘not the vibe’ even though we had one glass of wine each at dinner and were just having a laugh. So rude made us feel really unwelcome and like we were children

The best homecooked jerk lunch in Shoreditch. Been coming here for over a decade. Anything else is a disappointment.

I have tried to place an order. I think the owner of the place answered the phone. First thing i get is what do you want to order. as a business saying good afternoon is not to hard. When i said i would like to order curry goat. Which that’s what it says on they menu. He said we dont do curry goat we do curry lamb something else. And he was very rude I can’t believe people like this running a business. Don’t waste your time like i did. So much to say but just know this it will be enough.

The bouncer is very ill mannered, unfriendly and intrusive. The whole bar should be bigger. Good atmosphere usually. The people who come to this place...

Worst place ever Security was arguing with a woman like he’s a girl Security with a tight jeans was not professional and the manager was not professional. This place is a disgrace. They start charging £8 to get in and you can’t even pay with a card you have to pay cash. I wonder why nobody should go to this place because the manager Security don’t know what they’re doing. they are ripping people off. It is a disgrace to call yourself a Security and a manager and you don’t know what you’re doing. This place is a shame. Please do not go there Because they are all rude and useless. All they care about is the money and they are ripping people off.

Small and cozy, super casual atmosphere, hippie kinda vibe. Enjoyed the live music. The food was decent, nothing to rave on about. Facilities are outdated. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 2

Terrible terrible experience. The staff are unwelcoming, unpleasant and very very mean. Will definitely not be returning. Free open mic for artists all over London with places like Tracks On Tap, Ldnrbs, Run it London and more. Don’t be fooled by this place that will extort artists Service: 1
