Thank you to Ashley and the staff for making the night incredible! Everyone at work today is still talking about the amazing food!!

My wife, our pup, and I have been coming to Turquoise for the last seven years, and it's become…read moremuch more than just our favorite Mediterranean restaurant, it's one of those places that always feels like home. Nestled in Riviera Village just a few blocks from the beach, Turquoise is the kind of neighborhood gem you hope never changes. This isn't your typical Greek takeout spot. Everything is made with premium ingredients, no seed oils, fragrant saffron, and an obvious passion for authentic Mediterranean cooking. We always start with their fresh-brewed green iced tea and hummus with crisp crudité. Their panini-pressed sandwiches are fantastic, and the house-made yogurt and chili sauces are so good you'll end up putting them on everything. And the lamb kebab? Hands down the best I've ever had, perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and something I crave long after we leave. What keeps us coming back, though, is Hameed, the owner. From the moment you walk in, he treats you like family. You can tell how deeply he cares about his guests, his staff, and every detail of the restaurant. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare these days, and it's a big part of what makes Turquoise so special. Whether you're looking for a date night, a relaxed family dinner, lunch after the beach, or a place where your dog is just as welcome as you are, Turquoise delivers every time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the restaurant is always spotless, and the service is consistently exceptional. As someone who loves discovering great food, I can honestly say Turquoise is one of the South Bay's hidden gems. Seven years later, it's still the first place we recommend to friends and the one we find ourselves coming back to again and again. Do yourself a favor and give it a try. I have a feeling you'll become a regular too. Thanks for reading.

You can tell he truly loves his craft. Everything is yummy, but the lamb kabob is the show stopper I get it everytime. I also love the spinach dip, and the chicken and koubideh kebabs. Their family special is also a great deal. Hot tip - the sweet potatoes on the side are unbelievable I always ask for bonus!

I own a business nearby and come here regularly for lunch when I need a quick bite. Service is fast, the food is always fresh, and it's perfect if you're in a rush but still want something filling and good quality. Their chicken kebob and chicken shawarma are both really good, the chicken pita wraps are always solid, and the Greek salad is fresh and well balanced. You can tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the customer service. Overall, great local Mediterranean spot in the South Bay and definitely worth checking out.

I order falafel and it comes with a delicious side salad. All the vegetables on the salad and in the wrap are really fresh and crispy. I love that they split up the wraps into two so you can take the other one home if you can't eat it on one day. I love that the falafel is not dry and the sauces and salad dressing are delicious, but still let the ingredients speak for themselves. They have lots of clean, comfortable seating inside or outside. There is free parking in the back. My next mission is to go in and try something new. Hopefully I will see you there!

Meats that have been sitting in steam table trays for hours should come with disclaimers. I don't hold it against them. You can place an order, go shopping and generally, your order be done at the conclusion of shopping. So, I have a new rating system......I will be write what I feel honestly about an establishment. The only ratings I will give are 5 stars, which is enjoyable, or 3 stars which is "needs work."

Our go to meal is MMP 1 which includes: 1 Whole smoked chicken 1 Large basmati rice 1 Medium salad shirazi (cucumber, tomato, onion salad) The chicken, we will request it to be cut in 8 pieces and to provide bbq sauce and salad dressing on the shirazi. We've also enjoyed the tri tip, sausage, ribs, salmon, white fish, and kabob. They will run out so try to go before the lunch or dinner rush.

I wanted to follow up my very short review that I wrote about this restaurant over a decade ago as I have continued to frequent this restaurant and I have always enjoyed their food. What they offer here is a really nice selection of Mediterranean-based cuisine. They always use the best ingredients, and the food always arrives with a great presentation. Mostly, the food here tastes very-very good. And, isn't that the right reason you actually go to a restaurant in the first place? This is a family-owned and operated business. From this, you can really tell that everybody who works here really cares about the restaurant and the customers. Thus, it's always a great dining experience. Their menu offers a really nice selection of everything from gyro's to kebabs onto salads and the like. There's a really nice choice of both entrées and side dishes for you to choose from. The one thing I will say about this establishment, and this is certainly not a criticism, but whenever you eat here, they always keep the food coming. Whether it is the pita chips, the pita bread, the whatever, when you leave here you are going to be very-very full. This restaurant is located just off of Hawthorne Boulevard and a block from PCH. Thus, it's very easy to find. In terms of parking they have a parking lot over to one side of the building. You could always find a spot there. They also have a number of spots on the street, in front of the restaurant. This is where I always prefer to park. Easy in, easy out. Overall, if you're looking for some great Mediterranean-based food, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

It is a smallish window with covered patio seating. No indoor seating. Good for takeout or small groups. Plenty of parking. I've never really heard of Mexican Mediterranean fusion, but it kind of works. We ordered the family combo for lunch in hopes of feeding 5 dudes and 2 kids. Boy was there a lot of food and then some! Huge box of rice, another full of falafel, one for salad, one for sauces, and a random box of quesadillas. The meat was split between chicken and gyro, plus pita. Everything tasted great. The gyro was not classically shaved meat but more like cut burger patties but that wasn't exactly bad. There was plenty of food to take home for another meal or two. Will definitely be back, but next time will be more adventurous and try their fusion burritos or nachos

Had to get the hand of Fatima which were heavily reviewed but was a little disappointed in this dish. The servings of dips were scarce but the bread was very good, we ordered more bread just to eat with the other dishes. I would recommend just order bread to go with some of their other mains which are more sauce heavy. My favorite dishes were the lamb meatballs and beef cheek cous cous. The lamb was incredibly tasty and the beef cheek was tender. They have an extensive wine menu and many you can purchase by glass which is great. The service was great and the restaurant was bustling in a Friday night. I saw a lot of people ordering their fries which I'll have to try next time!
