Avis sur Turquoise Redondo Beach
Delicious, healthy, creative Iranian food made with love! The owner takes time to say hello to everyone and tell you about his homemade yogurt, and other delicious ingredients.
On our vacation to see our daughter we stopped in at Turquoise for lunch. We are so glad we did!! Wonderful alfresco dining along with perfect service and excellent food. Definitely order the homemade hummus and spinach dip! A must stop for lunch or dinner when you are in Redondo Beach!
We had an amazing meal outside on the patio. Everything was SO fresh! Hummus appetizer was fantastic- made in house from fresh and soaked chic peas - delicious!! Greek salad - so good and perfect to share - fresh lemon juice and olive oil - wonderful! I had lentil soup - excellent and hearty. My husband had the Ahi tuna sandwich- also excellent, as was the balsamic rice. Everything was perfect as well as the owner. Thanks for everything, your passion for your restaurant is appreciated!!
All the ingredients are incredibly fresh and the meat is locally sourced! The owner came out and spoke to us and he puts so much love and care into his food. You can tell he’s highly attentive to details and cares so much about the quality of the food. Awesome experience and I highly recommend it here :)
Turquoise is our favorite restaurant in the South Bay. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. Our favorites are the chicken and lamb kabob, as well as the kale salad. The rice is also incredible! It was my son’s birthday and they brought delicious ice cream for dessert. Five stars all around!
Had the most delicious lunch here. The food was organic and fresh.I can't wait to go back and try other things from the menu. The waitress was so friendly. Service was quick and I didn't find it expensive.
I was at this restaurant for an afternoon gathering with friends. Unforgettable experience: the home-made food, the service, the setting. We finished with a walk towards the ocean admiring the sunset. Perfect for any event.
Friendly restaurant with amazing food. Babaganosh was large and came with delicious hot peppers along side. Plenty of pita for the dip. Sea Bass, a special was simply gorgeous - and tasted every bit as good as it looked. Creme Brulee was balanced and creamy - not too sweet - making it and coffee the perfect end to a Friday and a celebratory meal. Greeted by owner, wait staff perfect. While the meal is your star, you are clearly theirs.
Turquoise is by far our favorite restaurant! My husband and I have lived all over the country and travel frequently, and there is not another restaurant we've been to that has food as healthy and delicious as Turquoise! Hameed the owner is one of the kindest people you will meet - the service is incredible. He makes everyone at his restaurant feel like family, and the servers are so polite and welcoming! I once told Hameed that I would buy his cookbook if he ever authored one, and he said that the secret ingredient to all of their dishes is love. :) You will NOT be sorry making the choice to eat here for all of your special occasions!
This is the perfect place for a nice dinner alone or with guests. There are so many great things on the menu to choose from - my favorites are the lentil soup, Greek salad, 3 dips with veggies, koubideh kabob, and the wild salmon entree. Super tasty veggies on the side, also. Healthy food and a great patio. The staff is super friendly. I highly recommend you try it!!
Really great food and service. The restaurant is near Torrance Beach so the atmosphere is hard to beat. The owner even checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal. He was nice enough to send us home with some extra hummus after I told him how good it is. It's a little different than your traditional Mediterranean joint, but I highly recommend it.
This is hands down the best Mediterranean restaurant in LA. Certainly one of my personal favorite restaurants. The owner is always there talking to the patrons, it is clear he cares a lot about the quality of ingredients.
I had Lamb wrap. The lamb was top quality and melted in my mouth. My friend had the koubideh kabob and again the quality of the meat was second to none. Hameed was very attentive and gave us a lovely sample of cauliflower soup and he’s very passionate about the food served. Farhad was our server and he was an absolute joy! You can tell when someone enjoys their work. Fantastic food and wonderful service. Oh and no forgetting I had the chocolate tart for dessert….it was heavenly! Yum yum yum
Walking into Turquoise Restaurant, one is immediately embraced by the warm, inviting atmosphere, a promise of the culinary journey that awaits. This establishment has proven itself as a beacon for those in search of the finest kabobs and Mediterranean delights in the city. From the first bite, it's evident that Turquoise is not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of rich, authentic flavors masterfully prepared. The chicken kabob, a standout dish, is marinated to perfection, ensuring every piece is succulent and brimming with spices that dance on the palate. The charred exterior gives way to tender meat that speaks volumes of the chef's dedication to quality and tradition. Equally impressive is the salmon fish, a testament to Turquoise's versatility and commitment to offering something special for everyone. The salmon is cooked to a flaky perfection, its natural richness complemented by a delicate blend of herbs and spices. It's a dish that not only satisfies the hunger but also the soul, leaving a memorable imprint with its sublime taste. For those who favor handheld delights, the wraps at Turquoise are a must-try. Encased in soft, freshly baked bread, each wrap is a carefully curated mix of flavors and textures. Whether it's the succulent meats or the vibrant array of vegetables, every wrap is a hearty, fulfilling meal that showcases the restaurant's knack for blending traditional and contemporary tastes. The service at Turquoise matches the high quality of its food. Attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience.

It's more than just a meal; it's a culinary adventure that promises to be both unforgettable and utterly delicious.
My cousin recommended Turquoise while we were visiting for a few days. Food was amazing, especially the hummus. If you’re in the Redondo area I highly recommend stopping by for a bite.
We recently dined at Turquoise Restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely phenomenal. The Salmon dish was the most delicious I've ever had in a restaurant – perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. We also tried the kebab and chicken kebab, and they were both cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great dining experience. If you're looking for a place with exceptional food and a welcoming atmosphere, Turquoise Restaurant is a must-visit. We can't wait to return and try more of their amazing dishes!
What a fabulous restaurant! To out everything into context, we went as a party of 4 (including two vegetarians). We were greeted by a very friendly owner and given menus where everything looked delicious. We started with an appetizer of olive tapenade. It included pomegranate, a little garlic and olive oil. It was served with pieces of flatbread. Excellent flavor combination, and the very healthy portion was devoured quickly. Next, two of us ordered soup. One was a lentil soup, the other was a roasted cauliflower soup. I first tried the cauliflower, it was rich and thick and oh, so flavorful. I thought I had found a new favorite soup. Then I tried the lentil soup. I’m generally not a big fan of lentils, but this was outstanding, better even than the cauliflower. Each of the four of us raved over the soup. Our main courses were all kabob wraps or paninis. Each was a great meal. All of us had generous portions with the freshest ingredients. The wraps were accompanied by a homemade mint yogurt that added just the right counterpoint to the wrap. We finished with the crème brûlée and an ice cream birthday desert. Both of these were excellent! Throughout all of this the owner would stop by and give anecdotes about the restaurant or his childhood. He was a very friendly owner and gracious host. It is quite clear his passion for the food he serves and the chef takes meticulous care to have just the right touches. Do yourself a favor and go. It is a great dining experience.
Fantastic service, great food! We had the spinach dip, (amazing) and I had the chicken kabob added to a salad. I haven't EVER had better chicken in any form! Delicious & flavorful, not dry at all. Wonderful!
The waitress could have been more attentive, but no points off because we really enjoyed everything else. We sat outside on the "patio" with wind-blocking panels. The owner came by and explained what went into their hummus and chicken kabobs and left us very impressed. Food was great!
Really enjoyed the food. Started the meal with Baba ghanoush. They make lovely pitta which is warmed up. The pita has soft pieces and crunchy pieces. It was a very nice surprise and a play on texture. Baba ghanoush came along with some spicy oily peppers that gave the right boost to the dish. If you love smokey flavor and eggplants make sure to try this one! The chicken kabob panini did not disappoint. Chicken was flavourful, not dried, just right! Must love olives! I also tried their hibiscus ice tea which was perfect. I pointed out they missed my drink on the bill and they didn't add it back which was a nice gesture. Be patient and come with an expectation of a slower service as you are likely to face it. The beach is only a few mins from the restaurant. A great place to go for a walk after your meal.
The food is exceptional here. What elevates this restaurant besides the delectable food is the excellent service and warmth provided by the owner. He took his time to speak to us and was quite attentive. We ordered the baba ghanoush, wild salmon, and chicken kabob. All were delicious! The owner offered us to try their hummus since we haven't had it before, and it honestly exceeded all expectations! I loved the bits of pomegranate garnishing the hummus since it added depth to the flavor profile with a tang of sweetness.
Amazing restaurant! Everything was soooo delicious. The owner came to our table and in true hospitality told us about the ingredients. No seed oils, no food coloring, farmfresh food and you can taste that in every bite. 10/10 recommend! Also great to sit outside!
Charming restaurant on the corner of Catalina and Vista Del Mar in the heart of the Riv. They offer Persian inspired food with some of the classics and some fresh takes that are unique and delicious. For instance their baba app is served hot in a cute little skillet... and it was amazing. Both the beef and chicken kabobs were very flavorful and moist. Our server was very nice and knew the menu and flavors well. An oddball standout was their fruit infused green ice tea... honestly on a hot summer day this tea was so good I would come in just for that! The also offer plenty of seafood, lamb, wraps, salads and soup. The interior is very nice with a great vibe and they have 2 patio seating options.. the Catalina side being more shaded and busy traffic with the Vista side being sunny and more peaceful. Great food in a stunning location just a short stroll to the beach.
Had the pleasure of enjoying a nice lunch here. Ordered the kale salad which was vibrant and decadent and the taste lived up to the visual. Ordered the chicken kabob and koobideh and must say it was one of the most juicy and flavorful chicken dishes I have the pleasure to taste. The koobideh also was seasoned well and cooked to the right temperature. I definitely recommend in here if you are in the area to enjoy a healthy clean meal with excellent ingredients
Absolutely Amazing – A True Mediterranean Delight! Turquoise Restaurant was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a relaxing coastal vibe that makes you feel instantly at ease. The staff were kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. I had the lamb kebab, and it was hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The seasoning was just right, and it paired beautifully with the sides. I also tried one of their soups, which was rich, comforting, and clearly made from scratch. To top it all off, I had their house-made ice cream, and it was the perfect sweet ending—light, creamy, and bursting with flavor. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. Turquoise combines quality ingredients with authentic Mediterranean flavors in a way that’s both healthy and satisfying. If you're in the Redondo Beach or LA area, this spot is a must-visit. I’m already looking forward to going back!
Turquoise is my favorite Redondo Beach restaurant. I always feel so welcomed, I always eat very well and I always come out of there happy. The restaurant owner and his staff always do such a great job!!! I also love eating in the beautiful outside patio. Thank you Turquoise !
Excellent little Greek/Persian fusion restaurant in the heart of Redondo Beach. Very clean and very friendly staff. The owner is very proud of his food and it shows. The baba ganoush is a must have. If I lived closer I would eat here all the time.
Party of 7. We sat outside. Great little patio. Got the combo appetizer,, delicious. They delivered carrots and cucumber slices for our gluten intolerant friends in addition to the lovely thin pita chips. I had the lamb wrap...fabulous 😋. Others got the chicken kabobs, the lamb kabob,, the salmon wrap and the vegetarian platter with tofu. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend!
⸻ Absolutely loved our experience! Best Mediterranean and Middle Eastern From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine hospitality. The atmosphere was cozy, inviting, and beautifully designed — the perfect setting a memorable meal. Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. You can really tell the team here takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience — we’ll definitely be back!
Turquoise – A Gem in Redondo Beach Turquoise is a centrally located gem in Redondo Beach, offering a delightful dining experience with reasonable prices and exceptional service. The atmosphere is inviting, with both indoor and patio seating providing a cozy and charming setting. One of the highlights of our meal was the beef kobideh, which was incredibly flavorful—one of the best I’ve had in years. The Greek salad was fresh and well-balanced, complementing the meal beautifully. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, service was impressively fast, professional, and attentive. We also explored their wine selection, trying both the organic wine and the Australian Malbec, which was not only delicious but also affordably priced at just $9—a fantastic value. Compared to similar restaurants, Turquoise stands out for its eclectic ambiance and excellent pricing. Even though we dined indoors, the patio seating looked equally inviting, adding to the restaurant’s charm. Overall, we had a fantastic time, especially enjoying this experience with my mom. We’ll definitely return soon to explore more of their menu. Highly recommended!
Delicious and authentic Persian dishes served with care! Must try for all! We ordered Koubideh (beef) Kabob and Lamb Kabob with Basmati rice, Olive and Walnuts, and lentil soup and enjoyed to the last piece/grain! Will return here every time we visit SoCal!
Middle Eastern food on the Riviera… The baba ghanoush is served warm and has a lovely smoky taste. The lamb was perfect. The koubideh was delicious. The hummus was a little weak, a bit runny and bland for my taste. You must try the ice cream with rose… it was divine. We sat outside, which is my favorite place to dine and watch the bustling crowds. Owner came out to say hello and that was a nice touch.
This restaurant is a gem ! The staff is welcoming and warm. The owner is 1000% hands on. He greets each and every guest with an amazing smile. The food is delicious and the saffron aroma of the food has been etched on our brain. We visit this restaurant frequently and enjoy tasty food. I highly recommend this restaurant and it’s a must try experience.
This is my second time the first time was in the restaurant, which was a wonderful experience. Tonight is DoorDash. I ordered their lentil soup, which I can’t even begin to describe how fabulous it is -also ordered Hummus and lavash and the chicken kebab plate. It’s ridiculously good!

The food was excellent, the owner came out to explain his dish. Love the organic and non GMO options. Very simple but packed with flavor and the potions were more than enough
We had a wonderful experience at Turquoise restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made our visit even more special. You can really feel the care and passion behind this small business. Highly recommend! We will definitely come back.
The owner made our visit truly special with his warmth and hospitality toward our toddler. My daughter loved eating here, which alone would bring us back, but the food stands on its own merits. Everything is organic and the quality is exceptional. You can taste the difference in every dish. The ingredients are clearly thoughtfully sourced and prepared with care. The menu has serious range. From fresh homemade yogurt and hummus to kebabs, everything we tried was excellent. This is the kind of neighborhood restaurant that works for any occasion. Highly recommend.
Amazing lunch at Turquoise today. Per usual, everything was amazing. We sat outside today. Beautiful view of Catalina Ave. Food was a 10/10. The beef and chicken kabob were so juicy. Service was incredible. Can’t wait to come back.

What a sweet spot in Redondo Beach! Fresh, fresh, delicious lamb kebab and baba ganoush! Excellent service too. Our guy knew his stuff and patiently described the specials and recommended the right thing for us. A local favorite we were told, and we can see why.
Dinner for two was about $68. Food was ok. We would return for the chicken kabob; not the beef kabob. The outdoor patio is inviting and a good place for people watching on Catalina Ave. Disclaimer: Reviewer gives Five Star rating to small businesses initially; to support them and their livelihood.

I had a fantastic lunch at Turquoise Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in the Redondo Beach area, I highly recommend stopping by for lunch. Great spot, great vibes, and even better food!
The food was quite tasty. We got the chicken kabob, Greek salad and a side of the koubideh kabob (which was less to our liking). The salad and the chicken dish were delicious! The service is friendly, and the ambiance is really chill. We came on a Saturday afternoon and it was calm and quiet on the outdoor patio. Very nice setting for a light meal. Overall I would recommend this spot, but it’s nothing super-special.

Today we visited Turquoise Restaurant in Redondo Beach with out-of-state guests visiting California, expecting a professional and hospitable dining experience. Unfortunately, the visit was disappointing from the moment we arrived. As has occurred on prior visits, a male server as usual at the entrance immediately asked whether we had a reservation and stated that the restaurant was “busy,” despite place being largely empty. After I requested walk-in seating we were directed to outdoor seating, which we accepted without issue. After being seated, the same server came to our table to take our order. When one of our guests attempted to order a main course after we had ordered appetizers, the server responded in a condescending and dismissive manner, stating, “I’m confused are we ordering appetizers or main?” The tone was inappropriate, unprofessional, and unnecessary. To avoid an uncomfortable situation for our guests, I chose not to address the behavior at the table. The food itself was underwhelming. The chicken wrap did not meet reasonable expectations for quality or preparation and I had two hard avocado stem caps almost damaging my teeth. Although unsatisfactory, no complaint was made during the meal to keep our experience enjoyable. At the end of the dining experience, we ordered Persian tea. Two teapots were delivered without sugar or any traditional accompaniments, such as sugar cubes or baklava or any alternatives. Upon inquiry, I was curtly informed that sugar cubes were “not available”!! and I was handed stevia instead, which is not customary for Persian tea service. Only after returning to counter I was able to order the baklava, which was ultimately provided. However, the same server clearly implied that the items were being ordered and therefore not complimentary, which was never my intention. The most concerning aspect of this visit was not a single error, but a consistent pattern of dismissive behavior, poor communication, and lack of basic hospitality by the same staff member throughout the experience. The interactions demonstrated a clear absence of customer-service standards, emotional awareness, and respect toward guests. This behavior has been repeated across multiple visits. I am personally familiar with the owner and regard him as a respectable individual with a long-standing family background in the restaurant business. It is therefore especially disappointing that front-of-house conduct reflects so poorly on the establishment. It is unfortunate to leave a negative review; however, after repeated attempts to support this local business, this experience represents the final deciding factor in my decision to discontinue dining at this location.
The skimpiest portions and the highest prices! In addition their service (particularly lady with the dyed blonde hair) is awful! Zankoo chicken is way better than this hole
