We visited this Turkish restaurant for the first time because we were craving that type of food, and it did the job. The place has a simple, unpretentious atmosphere, and the food was decent—it satisfied our craving and left us full. What stood out the most was the service, which was genuinely good from start to finish. Overall, it’s a solid option if you’re looking for Turkish food without expecting anything too fancy.
Truva is absolutely fantastic and I can't recommend it highly enough! We had the pleasure of having a larger dinner party here, and the menu and service were both truly outstanding. We sat on their covered patio and had ample space. Service was detail-oriented, and the food, my gosh - perfection. Everything from the appetizers to dinner courses and desert were just delicious. Everyone left completely stuffed LOL. What a wonderful night thanks to the Truva staff for their beautiful atmosphere and incredible dishes.
Excellent. Excellent. A little pricey but worth it. Very tasty food. Fresh. Juicy. Tender chicken kebab. Great atmosphere. Welcoming and attentive staffs with prompt responses when requested despite how busy the place is.
First time visiting. We were a group of 4. Service was excellent. The food was delicious. From the lentil soup to the mix grill platter with different meats, the hummus and the french fries. They serve you bread as an appetizer which is tasty. They make a homemade lemonade which is very good. I would definitely come back to this place.
I can safely say I have finally found good lahmacun in Queens, maybe even the best I’ve had in New York. It’s a super casual place, nothing fancy, but perfect if you’re just looking for a quick and tasty bite. The food definitely hit the spot. One thing I found a bit surprising was that the waitstaff didn’t speak any Turkish, which you don’t really expect at a Turkish spot.
