The restaurant had an off night on this visit. Baba ghanoush was watery and flavorless. Took over 20 minutes to get two drinks. Prior visits had been excellent. Hopefully this was a one off.

Truva is a great find in the middle of a busy area. It provides a great and inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and quality service for a reasonable price. It has an ample but not over the top menu with a large selection of appetizers as well as Main Plates which become the stars of the show. Their Lamb dishes and Branzino were delicious and worth the try.

While the overall experience was okay, the food was not great for me. And I became ill - likely from the falafel which had chickpea patties inside. For lunch, I had the falafel, Truva salad, red lentil soup, and garlic cilantro fries. Initially the waitress brought out plain fries which wasn’t correct but she did quickly bring out the right ones. She was nice but needed a couple of reminders about things we’d asked for. While the salad was fine, the rest of the food fell short on taste.

It was very busy - Sat. Evening - when we were there which might have been a factor in service (drink mixup, asked for bill multiple times). Inside was extremely noisy, so asked to be outside where no one was seated due to an earlier rain storm. It was pleasant outside. Food was tasty and excellent, portions ample; wait staff courteous and pleasant despite the busy-ness. Will return, maybe not in a weekend.

I am actually amazed about all the good reviews. I eat Mediterranean food frequently. I make a killer hummus. It’s easy. Very easy. This was not good. I don’t think the chef is Mediterranean. It had no flavor. None. There were 4 of us and our bill before tip was $250. So we tried many things. All were boring. No flavor. Everyone at table agreed. Boy do I miss Nicolas.
