Cafe and grill serving homemade Turkish food

TRUVA Cafe & Grill

Very disappointed. I paid $21 for a tiny portion — just a few small pieces of chicken over rice — and not even a side dish included. On top of that, the lentil soup was $12 for a small, tiny cup. The prices are extremely high for the low quality and small portions.

I hadn’t ordered from this place in 4 years and decided to give it another chance, but nothing has improved. I highly do NOT recommend this place
Update:
I’m honestly surprised by the way the owner is responding to customers. Instead of acknowledging the mistake, you’re insisting that items were included when they clearly were not. The lentil soup normally comes with bread, so there’s no need to act like it was something extra.

A professional business should take responsibility, not talk down to customers. If this is how you handle feedback, it explains why the quality and experience have gone down.

It’s much better to fix the issue and improve the service rather than replying to people in a rude, defensive way. A respectful attitude goes a long way in running a successful restaurant

HORRIBLE! I HAVE BEEN IN NEW YORK MY ENTIRE LIFE AND THIS IS A CRAZY RIP OFF! if you want real and delicious Turkish food, there are so many better places that offer BETTER quantities, BETTER QUALITY, and simply BETTER FOOD! I paid $17 for 5 pieces of tiny shrimp and when we were asking why the price was high, the owner said “Well you don’t know what you’re eating!” Look, as a fellow New Yorker, I try to be as honest as I can for my community. I am sorry but you can get better quality and quantity in many other locations.

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.

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.

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.
