Truva is a gem in the heart of Atlanta! From the moment you step in, the ambiance transports you straight to Turkey with its warm decor and welcoming atmosphere. The food is nothing short of perfection—each dish bursts with authentic flavors. I highly recommend the lamb kebabs and the manti (Turkish dumplings)—absolutely divine! Their baklava is the best I’ve ever had, perfectly flaky and not overly sweet. The staff is attentive and genuinely passionate about sharing Turkish culture and cuisine. Truva has become my go-to spot for an unforgettable dining experience.

I love this place. Great food, service and ambience. It also has many GF options. Certainly beats many other places that are pricier, noisier and less consistent.

I was excited reading the menu because of all the dishes offered. I immediately thought that I wanted to return another time because of all the choices on the menu. However, the food looked better in writing than it tasted. It was just ok.

Amazing food, peaceful ambiance, and great service. The complementary bread and sun dried tomato dip is so simple but so delicious! The mocktails are very good as well.

One of our (better) neighborhood go to’s when we want something more than burgers or tacos. Excellent Mediterranean food - highly recommend the hummus and kabobs. And the fresh bread and tomato/olive oil sauce they serve complementary is worth the trip by itself. Manager is always genuinely appreciative of us being there - servers are friendly and efficient.
