Truva Charcoal Grill - Towcester

I had requested a specific table ahead of time, and the friendly gentleman who welcomed us and seated us apologized for the noisy table next to us and offered to move us to a different table if we preferred. The service was outstanding, and the sirloin steak was the best I've had in a long time. I couldn't fault this restaurant at all!

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.

I had previously requested a quote table and the lovely gentleman who greeted us and showed us to the table, apologised that the people on the table next to us we’re not so quite and offered another table if we wished. The service was excellent. The best sirloin I have had in a long while. Can not fault this restaurant at all!!

Excellent food and service in a nice environment. Good selection on the menu

Truva in Towcester has only been open a couple of weeks and I had high expectations given the excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. Sadly I came away feeling a bit disappointed. The staff were very friendly and attentive and could not fault them; also great is the courtyard location and ambience/decor in the restaurant. However the food was a let down. My wife and I shared hot mezze to start which was uninspiring and small serving for two people. To follow we both had kebabs which were very chewy and dry. Many British people travel to Turkey on holiday and will have experiences real Turkish food; at Truva it just is not very authentic. The same Turkish food at the Olive Garden just away is generally much better. I was genuinely disappointed as I really wanted this new restaurant to be good hopefully they can improve the food as everything else was very good.
