Cuisine: 7 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 7 With all the delicious options for food in Astoria, I am glad to see Duzan still succeeding after all these years. The food has always been freshly prepared, in large portions, and cooked quite well. I'm thankful that has not changed much. On my most recent visit, we got a Mix Grilled and Vegetarian Plate to share between four people. There was so much food that we did not have dessert next door as originally planned. Prices are higher nowadays, but you are receiving great value for what you pay. Both chicken shawarma and the beef kufta from the Mix Grilled tasted great, especially with the provided zesty white sauce. I also added hot sauce to mine, which made it more satisfying. The chicken kebab was not bad, it had a nice char, but slightly dry. All of the accompanying humus (a bit salty), salad, rice, and garlic pita were excellent too. For the Vegetarian Plate, though good, I would like the falafels to be fluffier. The best things I enjoyed on the plate was the fried eggplants and baba ghanosh. It also comes with cous cous, which was good. Fresh middle eastern cuisine, made with quality ingredients and care, this restaurant may not be my first choice in Astoria because it's not as sexy as some of the other offerings, but I'm glad that they are still around when I just want a quality meal at a reasonable price.

I called on 7/15/2026 and was able to place an order for pick up through the phone, fantastic. I…read morecalled again today 7/20/2026 and was told AGAIN, that pick up orders must be placed online. I was angry, actually very HANGRY (hungry + angry), I went and asked why and they said "customers place orders for pick up and don't show up, they even place orders for delivery to fake addresses". I didn't think much and went to wait in my car, when I ran back in they saved my phone number so now I can place orders via the phone. I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! This amazing restaurant supports Palestine and condemns Israel, which is an amazing stance. Turns out dirty Zionists have been harassing this business for more than a decade! To the point where they couldn't take orders for pick up or delivery. Can you imagine being harassed like that? Please support this restaurant and its wonderful owners, this place has the best decor, that alone is worth the trip. FREE PALESTINE!

Customer service: Top-notch!…read more Ambiance: Quite homey and welcoming. The seating is arranged in one long, straight row, so the space feels a little less spacious, but the cozy atmosphere makes up for it. Plus, the bathroom was really clean! Calamari Salad -- Fresh seafood and veggies, paired with fresh bread. A lovely way to start the meal! Chicken Kebab with Rice -- The chicken was savory, but what really stood out to me was the rice! It was perfectly cooked, with a natural, wholesome taste that I absolutely loved. My Favorite is Phyllo Scroll with Feta Cheese and Parsley i forgot the name but you can say phyllo scroll with feta haha -- Oh, my goodness! So, so good! The phyllo pastry with feta cheese and parsley was my personal highlight. I could happily order this again! Overall, the food was savory, the service was excellent, and the ambiance felt like home. And my verdict...Please pay Truva a visit! I can honestly say it's worth it. A taste worth coming for.
