Wow. Second time here, really impressed with the quality of food, every single item was made perfectly, and friendly and fast service. Their sides are outstanding- rice is fluffy and warm and well seasoned, the salad is a great balance, hummus is wonderful, Turkish bread is warm, soft right out of the oven we had the special combination grill that's $28.95 first time, was too shy to get such a high price item, but it's really good for two or three. Includes the lemon beef kebab, chicken kebab, Lulu skewer, chicken and lamb gyro. Lamb shank. I did cooked off the bone tender. The tendon was soft on the bone and the tomato juices were simmered in a great gravy. Came with hummus and rice. $27.95 Like before, the olives (marinated to perfection) and feta were really good. It came in a rich red olive oil marinade. $7.99 Greek salad with the Kalamata olives, feta cheese was very nice. $10.99 Added salmon $11.99 salmon is nicely cooked, moist and tender but probably not worth $12 extra price. read more

The reviews live up to the hype of this fast casual Turkish spot, that doesn't skimp on portions or freshness. The owner is there at the register and he's also a delight! i didn't order ahead of time and while everything was prepared freshly, it came out quickly. The fresh bread with the garlicy butter is incredible. I ate the pitas in my car, because they were piping hot and I couldn't help myself. I just wanted to eat one, but then I ate both, like the carb monster that I am. We went with a gyro plate and a falafel wrap and both were fantastic and for the price, well portioned. I have found at a many medit spot, the meat tends to be oversalted, this is for freshness purposes, it keeps the meat fresher... but the sodium bloats me, makes me thirsty and also, just not a fan. Truva... I didn't get sodium effects. The meat was fresh. Overall, this was a fantastic find... thanks Yelp! I would 100% come again when in the 'hood for a family friendly meal that is both reasonably priced and somewhat healthful. read more

Such a great experience at Truva Mediterranean! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The staff was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Perfect place for a relaxed meal with amazing Mediterranean dishes. I got dolma , chicken plate, and gyro ! Literally can't go wrong with any of it. read more

It wasn't too crowded when we got here at 6pm on a Saturday night, but about 30 minutes later, there was a line almost out the door. I ordered a chicken Adana wrap and the fries which was a huge meal. read more

We are here with family for dinner last night. Food is ordered at the counter, and everything came out fast. We started with orders of the dolmas, which were good, and spanakopita, which were fantastic. Three of us had the gyro platters, and the fourth had the gyro wrap. Gyro meat was different than any other gyro we've had before. It was somewhat thin and kind of shredded. To me, it tasted more like beef than lamb, and could've used more seasoning. Everything was good, and maybe I'd get it again, but I would do so not expecting a typical gyro dish. I'm not sure my daughter was impressed with her gyro wrap. More lettuce than meat, and I think she had a similar view on the taste. Hummus, pita, and everything else were fine. read more

A wonderful local find! We had such a lovely experience here! The owners are incredibly family-friendly and made us feel welcome the moment we walked in.

Super solid Mediterranean food! The portions are super generous and everything was delicious! I got the Truva Special Mix and it came with a lamb kebab, lamb and beef gyro, chicken gyro, chicken kebab, and a lamb shish kebab. The plate was absolutely loaded with meat and it came with a side of bread that was super soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The sauces were excellent and paired very well with each item on the plate. The chicken had an excellent grill flavor to it and the gyro was amazing. The seasoning on all the meats including the grilled veggies which included peppers and tomatoes were solid! All in all, great choice for Mediterranean/Turkish food! read more

I met a friend for lunch at Truva Mediterranean Grill around 12:30 on a weekday. The place was almost full with only 2 tables left. There are about a dozen tables inside and no outside seating. The place is located in a shopping center and there was parking available. We choose the place because my friend is vegetarian and there were a few vegetarian options. You have to walk in, order at the counter, pay, take a number and pick a table. They also have take out. I choose the combo wrap while my friend choose the falafel wrap. The prices are not cheap. It was $14.99 for my wrap, which was a good size but still a bit of a sticker shock. The combo included pork, beef and chicken along with vegetables and tahini sauce. I asked for my sauce on the side. They have plates, wraps, salads, skewers and appetizers. They also have a variety of Mediterranean desserts and self serve water. The waiter who bought us our order was rushed because it was busy and when I asked for the hot sauce, he just pointed to a bottle at the table and kept walking. The food was tasty but so greasy, beyond normal greasy, the wrap is cut into 2 pieces and I had one piece for lunch and by the time I was done, the oil was streaming down my palm and hand. The food was good but much to greasy for me. read more

Lovely fresh food and fast service. The healthiest meal I've eaten since leaving the UK.

I can't believe I've never been here before! I see Truva on Yelp all the time, but didn't realize how close it was to my work. Truva is located next to the Chick-fil-A on Hopyard Rd. There's plenty of parking in the lot. I ordered the chicken gyros plate (comes with pita bread) and the baba ganoush. Everything was fresh and delicious! It was a bit pricey, but I had leftovers for the next day so it wasn't too bad. The baba ganoush was nice and smokey and it was perfect with the pita bread! I'll definitely be back to try the other dishes. read more

What a pleasant surprise. It was late night, looking for a place to eat, and Truva looked interesting on the Google map. It didn't disappoint. I ordered a chicken shish wrap. Never had it before, and I loved it. Delicious. Better than a shawarma. And hit the spot! read more

A friend took me here for lunch today. My first time and I loved the foods here. The garlic white sauce is so yummy! The meat is fresh. The bread is also so good!

Had a nice half day up here and decided to try his local spot. It was busy so definitely had high hopes coming in. The vibe inside the restaurant seemed like a old school diner. After we order our food, we are given a number which the server will locate and hand us the food a the table. The drinks are self served there with the water fountain. The first thing we tried was the falafel. The seasoning of the falafel was definitely one of my top among the falafel I tried. The only complaint was it it was a bit dry and could have been fried a bit less. It was hot and steamy which was nice! We also go the fries and it was nice and crispy. We got a lot more than we anticipated. I got the alexander for my entree. I definitely underestimated the dish as I thought it was a nice and light portion. The plate and stacked high with a mix of lamb and beef slices and had an abundance of sauce over it. I really like how the tomato acidity balanced with the meat and the yogurt sauce on the side was a nice dip for the pita bread. In the end, I couldn't finish and we had to togo some of the food. Would go again and try other foods! read more

Combination gyro plate with toasted bread very very delicious Ihve tired Adana plate also but it was not all that, meat was little hard but overall very good place and nice people read more

My wife and I enjoyed the chicken and falafel wraps ordered from this restaurant. The menu options have plenty of options at a reasonable price. The skewers ordered on the side were good and value for money. The service is fast and staff very friendly. The ambiance is good with plenty of seating area. I will definitely try plate options next time I am there read more

First time trying this restaurant since we were in the area. The space is so nice, clean, and homey inside. The servers were nice & fast.

Really good! Found this place on Yelp while traveling, and we'd definitely come again if back in the area. Our salmon and lamb kebabs were perfectly prepared and tender, rice was fluffy (though more plain, not like pilaf), salad was fresh and tasty, hummus was especially creamy and wonderful, and the bread...! They bring a whole basket, and you think you won't eat it all, but it's hard to resist, especially with all that flavorful hummus begging to be dipped up. A rare plus for dining in - real plates and flatware. The place isn't large, but there's also a little outdoor seating, and our dog was welcome there. I see others complaining about customer service, but that wasn't our experience. The staff person chatted pleasantly for a minute when he brought out our order, expressed his hope we had enjoyed the meal afterward, and wished us a pleasant trip. I suspect some of the disconnect may be cultural differences since staff accents suggest origins elsewhere. It takes a while to adapt to American expectations, but they're obviously trying. Worth a stop. read more

So good! Been here twice. The chicken and rice with the fresh salad is my favorite! They have great side dishes too.

Top notch from the beginning to end. I ordered the Mixed Special. The chicken and lamb were amazing, great flavors on the entire plate. Don't hesitate to try the chili sauce great flavor and the right amount of heat. I topped it off with some baklava which was delicious. Everyone was very helpful the food was great. I'll be back next time I'm town. read more

I came here for lunch with a friend and forgot that they mix lamb with the beef. I usually avoid lamb because I find it too gamey, but since I was already here, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the combo with chicken and beef/lamb skewers. Personally, I didn't notice much of that typical lamb flavor, but my friend, who's more sensitive to it, did pick up on the gaminess. The texture of the skewers reminded me of frozen patties. The beef/lamb skewer was a bit dry with some seasoning, while the chicken was tender but had that processed meat taste. read more

It was fine. The hummus was as expected. Skewers of chicken were moist. Kebabs of mixed meat were better than chicken. .

So good! Couldn't decide what to get so got a couple variety. Everything was fresh, very flavorful and yummy! The chicken kabob and babaganoush were my favorite. read more

Very good food. I've had every variation of chicken plate, each has its own charms. Service is usually very friendly. The place is nice, but honestly a little less cozy than it was. I'm not sure exactly what they changed but it's not for the better IMO. Maybe more capacity? In any event, a very solid choice run by nice folks. read more

I stopped by at the restaurant and made a togo order! It was amazingly fresh and delicious! Want to go back and enjoy at the restaurant when I am back in the area. It was so clean and had a nice atmosphere. read more

Been having Mediterranean food lately from another spot closer to home. Wanted it again but work is opposite from that way, so Yelp led me to Truva with the good ratings. Had the Combo Kebab Plate with chicken and lamb that comes with salad, pita bread and hummus, which is my go-to at the other spot. The pita bread is thicker and denser than I anticipated, although edible it wasn't what I particularly enjoyed. Hummus was okay. Rice was soft. Chicken was tender, but lacked enough seasoning. Lamb was rough and gamey. Couldn't enjoy that as well. Salad was okay, dressing didn't help. Overall, not my cup of Mediterranean tea. read more

I really like the food here: flavorful yet not too overpowering. The hummus dip was really good, especially with the bread they give you. Very freshly made. The Veggie Moussaka was really good. Could not tell it was veggie only. The Beef Plates was tasty too: not too overpowering. The side salad and the hummus was a plus and a great add on. Friendly staff too: the guy talked to us and asked us how were were doing and how was the food, was it our first time. Will definitely come back. read more

We absolutely love this family-owned Mediterranean gem. It's run by a young couple who bring so much energy and warmth to the place--you can really feel the passion they have for what they do. The food is consistently delicious and very reasonably priced. Everything tastes incredibly authentic, and honestly, it's better than many of the fine-dining Mediterranean spots in Pleasanton. You can tell the dishes are made with real care and dedication. We come here at least once a week, and it has become a favorite for our whole family. My kids love it too, which says a lot! We've tried almost every item on the menu and haven't found a single thing we didn't like--you really can't go wrong with anything you order. The owners are always very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food made with heart, this place is a must-try. read more

Truva is among the few local restaurants where the cuisine and service combined has been able to produce an exceedingly pleasant experience. Their lamb shank is (guaranteed) fall-off-the-bone tender, the spanakopita is just perfection, and the hummus paired with their house salad and rice will always hit so hard. Pelin is a gem! She doesn't cash you out like you're just another customer; she makes you feel like a guest in her own home. Her recommendations have so far been spot-on, and she takes the time to explain the dishes in a way that makes you even more inclined to give them a shot. She has a great and friendly demeanor that instantly elevates the whole experience way before you could even get to the eating part. If you want quality Mediterranean food with service that feels personal and heartfelt, Truva seems to be the place to deliver just that. read more

We stopped by this place to try something new The place was crowded and frankly it was a surprise for us. We ordered lamb kebab and Chaplin platter. Fries for the kid. The quantity of the rice and salad is good but protein felt less. But we did like the taste of everything. 4.5/5. Fries are 3/5. The food is pricier for the portion served. But will definitely be back for more read more

Great service, authentic food, ambience and clean. The owners are very kind and hospitable.

The. shawarma was more like a burrito. I was expecting a pita type bread that is thicker. I wanted the tzatziki dressing , but they used Italian. In addition I would offer a couscous or rice pilaf as a side versus white rice. My partner had the falafel plate with all the traditional sides. She enjoyed it. The food came on quickly. The area was not overly loud. read more

Food was delicious and service was fast. Whenever we pass through town we always stop by and are never disappointed. The chicken gyro was moist and flavorful and is my go to dish. My wife got the grilled veggies and they were very well seasoned. We also both loved the salad which was refreshing. The owner is friendly and remembers us from past visits. Definitely a must try, if you haven't already.. read more

Don't skip the lentil soup either; it's hearty, flavorful, and hits the spot whether you're starting your meal or just in need of something comforting.
