"Truva, located in Towcester, has only been open for a few weeks and I had high expectations after reading the positive reviews on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately, I left feeling a bit let down. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I couldn't fault them. The courtyard location and the ambience and decor inside the restaurant were also great. However, I found the food to be disappointing. My wife and I started with the hot mezze which was uninspiring and a small portion for two people. The kebabs we ordered were very chewy and dry. Many British tourists have experienced authentic Turkish cuisine while on holiday in Turkey, but the food at Truva did not feel very authentic. The Turkish food at the nearby Olive Garden, just 500m away, is generally much better. I was genuinely disappointed as I was hoping for this new restaurant to be good. Hopefully, they can improve the food as everything else about the restaurant was very good."

"First, the positives: the restaurant has a stylish and inviting atmosphere, although some adjustments to the table layout and new artwork could enhance it further. The service was excellent—attentive and professional. The poppadoms and naans were tasty. However, the rest of the dishes did not meet the same standard. Most of our food was coated in a bright red sauce, including the mixed starter platter, which resulted in minimal variation between the items and a lack of subtlety in flavors and textures. There was also a strong smell of incense throughout the restaurant. Despite these issues, we had a pleasant evening, and the staff deserves special praise. Nevertheless, I am uncertain if we would return."

"honestly I don 't know whether to be particularly angry, or to pretend nothing is happening and be happy; I say this because the place is really very nice, the Tiger beer that I always drink is really very good, and the food is equally good, all the staff are logically kind and courteous, but unfortunately all this great wonder is lost in HUGE errors that could be resolved with extreme simplicity and with a minimum of professional criteria. First of all I would like to know how they can, after the customers have ordered at the counter, tell to them: don 't leave, wait for the drinks, being the only pub within a few kilometers, and having a good influx of customers and work, it’s easy to hire the little staff needed to serve at the tables, (having many tables available . Secondly, it is really shocking to have a good steak on the menu that is accompanied with good pepper sauce, and not even have a piece of bread to accompany it, I had to go to the off-licence opposite to buy a piece of bread to eat with the meat!!! ABSURD!!! Then again, how is it possible to accompany dishes with different products, (such as peas, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc. and not even add half gram of salt to complete the dish, the basic job of a chef is precisely that of knowing how to balance all the flavors of the ingredients that makes a dish!!! At the end there is the small detail that people have to eat on tables that being outside night and day are logically not clean to come into contact with plates and cutlery as well, SCANDALOUS!!!"

"Had Sunday lunch here a few weeks back (2 adults, 2 children under 8 . We were the first booking in there, as the children like to eat relatively early. Despite this, the food took around an hour and a half to arrive. The children were understandably restless and got down from their chairs at one point, only to be barked at directly by the passing chef (who is possibly also the owner? . The bar waiting staff were very friendly. I think they were trying to make up for the owner. When the food did arrive, in fairness, it was very nice. An excellent roast dinner. We made the mistake of ordering dessert for the children, which also took an age to arrive. Our table was booked at around 12:30 and we weren't able to leave until after 4pm. This echoes recent reviews so it looks like it wasn't a one off both the speed of service and the unwelcoming personality of a certain person. If you have a slow afternoon, then you may well enjoy your time here. But if you have somewhere to be, or if you or your children are hungry, perhaps give it a miss. It's a shame, because the decor is lovely, and there's a good range of food and drink. I think it would do a roaring trade if it could speed up its service, and if the owner could be a little more welcoming."
