Truva Astoria

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.

I’m disappointed. Born and raised in the very same culture, I unfortunately say that the food was the worst I’ve ever had. Service guys had no smile on their faces and they literally look like they want to finish their shift asap. The lahmacun had miligrams of meat on it, we just chewed dough. Döner was so dry, İskender was just meat with tomato paste. Nothing was similar to what we ate back home and we couldn’t finish none of our dishes. I don’t think of coming back and recommending to friends.

Never Again. Got two chicken Adana large platters for $52 to go, and guess what? Food was ready literally in 10 mins. Amazing right? Without thinking twice, i picked up my food and got home in 15 mins. Opened the food and first thing i realized that food was cold, meaning it was not grilled fresh at all. On top of that, chicken smelled weird. I was so hungry and without any hasitation, started eating. Withing 30 mins, i got food poisoning. If owner is reading this, have some modesty, respect and dignity. We, customers, are paying for your living. Do not serve us left over, frozen and cold food. How did you even magically grill Adana kebabs in few mins!!!!
