Truva Turkish Kitchen’s new location in Deerfield Towne Center blends elevated presentation and atmosphere with classic Turkish comfort foods. While there’s nothing wrong with sticking to your favorites, the flavors here invite guests to explore.

The Chef’s Mixed Grill (Doner kebab, Adana kebab, shish kebab, chicken kebab, chicken Adana kebab, low carb vegetables, and bulgur pilaf) puts the menu’s highlights on a single plate. It’s served “family style” for two or four diners, and although several of the dishes share a sauce or seasoning, each has something different to offer.

The doner kebab (blended beef and lamb grilled on a vertical spit) is rich without being heavy and a great introduction to lamb for someone who’s never tried it. The shish kebab (marinated, cubed lamb) showcases more of lamb’s subtle tang under the savory spices, and the chicken kebab best highlights Truva’s special sauce. The mellow white meat gives the marinade the spotlight.

Both Adana kebabs are heavily seasoned minced meats (chicken or lamb) with novel textures and refreshing notes of red bell peppers. Finally, the pilaf plays its supporting role well with vibrant color and robust, aromatic flavor.

 

Be sure to stay for dessert. The baklava is a flaky dream of phyllo dough and savory walnuts: crumbly, sweet, and gone too soon. Pair it with Turkish coffee or tea for a warm end to your evening.
