I absolutely loved the unique and delicious offerings of this place. I’m always looking for vegetarian/vegan options and they delivered. I ordered their olive-walnut tapenade as a tapa/appetizer to start, then finished with the tofu kabob which was equally delicious. The wait staff was incredibly friendly and courteous. And to top it off, the owner made sure we wee accommodated and even held my friend’s leftovers in the their fridge while we went shopping around the village! This is was so unexpected and absolutely above and beyond the type of customer service I’ve had in a long while. You can tell the owner really cares about serving quality food with quality service. I cannot wait to come back and try some of their beautiful salads!

Amazing food. Great service. Reasonable prices. I am surprised this restaurant is not packed every night.

The food is very tasty especially their sturgeon whenever they have it as a special. It’s a small cozy place and both waiters are very attentive. The only thing is that the food portions are somewhat small. I’ve been going there for a few years and it seems to me that food portions were larger at the beginning when they opened. I still recommend it though.

Good for those who just wanna eat lots of veggies and healthy meals! They have original fresh smoothies, too. We got Miracle Juice, which is mix of lemon juice, beets, carrot, ginger, and more(I forgot.). It tastes good and boosts up my energy.

Just had a quaint lunch here! So yummy! It was a gorgeous day in LA and my gf suggested this place. We sat outside, their patio is so cute. We started off with the hummus and shared the Chicken Kebob plate. Everything was excellent! I only wish they served a little more rice with the Kebob plate. I also enjoyed the green tea :) it was so yummy! Definitely will be back!

Best middle eastern food in the beach. Try the lamb, melts in your mouth. Very good wine selection.

Brought here for a date. Was told about their freshly made humus & Persian ice cream. It’s a small restaurant so worth making reservations for dinner. The restaurant has excellent service & the décor is beautiful! It was cold last night but for warmer days & nights they have wonderful tables for dining outside. The food is soooo fresh & quality amazing! Try the Turquoise Salad!!! The fruit is perfectly paired with greens & very slight dressing that allows juice from the fruit to be the main event. I never had sturgeon & since it was a special we tried it. Again the spices & flavored danced in sync making my mouth & stomach feel wonderful, healthy, & happy! But wait! Our server said they are known for their crème brûlée!!! My favorite– but will have to go back to be the judge of that because we came for the Persian ice cream. Amaze Za Zing!!! Creamy, light, rose water, and a bit gooey with bits of pistachios. I’m a connoisseur of chocolate desserts & crème brus but was won over by this dessert! I am looking for a date to take back again to try the other scrumptious dishes!

Having this wonderful organic restaurant in our neighborhood is an absolute treat. Hameed, the owner, graciously greets customers throughout the day and really gets to know his patrons. After all, a neighborhood restaurant should know their neighbors, right?! The other day I had perfect Eggs Florentine. The Bearnaise sauce had the just the right amount of tangy. But aside from fantastic food I’d like to touch on the character of the owner and employees. About a year ago my wonderful wife was pregnant with our first child. She was having food cravings… as pregnant women do. For a couple of months she was really craving the Salmon Sandwich. One night we were driving back home and it was too late to cook so I asked her what food she was in the mood for. Of course, she said the Salmon Sandwich. I parked the car in front of the restaurant and ran inside to make the order. The gentleman who took the order kindly said, «Sorry, we stopped serving the Salmon Sandwich earlier in the day.» I guess it’s a process with a certain kind of grill, etc. I explained my plight with my wife’s craving… and that a «happy wife = happy life» and asked if an exception could be made. He asked the chef… the chef looked at my sad face and i pointed to my wife in the car with her sad and hungry face… and a Salmon Sandwich was produced! We try to make it a point to go regularly with our 5 month old son, Julian. Great happy hour from 4 – 6, too! Cheers!

Been here only for dinner. I’ve heard better reviews for breakfast or lunch, so I would like to try Turquoise again. This is a quaint place with cute décor, perfect for dinner sitting outside. The dinner menu selection is healthy, high quality and organic but limited in selection. Normally, I don’t like white meat chicken but here it’s moist and flavorful. Other reviewers have stated that the food is bland. I would describe it as lightly seasoned and not salty which is a healthier alternative. A health conscious person would really appreciate this place. Servers are very nice and accommodating too.

I’ve always wanted to check out Turquoise because my friends have been raving about this place for a long time. It lived up to the hype! I loved the ambience and decorations of the restaurant, and the food was my-oh-my. So good! Everything exceeded my expectations. The best part about it was that all of it was organic and super healthy! Turquoise is also dog-friendly! My little chihuahua loved basking in the sun in the outside seating area I will definitely be becoming back to this restaurant. Thumbs up!

Great place for lunch in the Riviera! Organic food that tastes great and you leave full and feeling equally great. Owner is very prideful and visible. He is extremely accommodating.

Back for another lunch! Our server offered a quinoa special which sounded great! I was not disappointed… Great mix of flavors with very light dressing that added just enough acidity to counter the neutrality of the grain. The edge of the plate was garnished with beets, mango, and tomato slices. These flavors added a nice textural and taste component to the dish. My friend had the salmon Panini which she said was«the best salmon sandwich she’d ever had». I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here… Will certainly return! The service is great and the atmosphere is pleasing although today it was a bit on the loud side filled with very talkative diners!

If you don’t pay attention the place looks like its closed. Many times we have passed it by but tonight the lights were on inside and there were people outside so we ventured in and decided to finally try Tourquoise. It was A-OK. Almost everything on the menu is heavly laden in Garlic. Our server was able to accomodate us on two items that didn’t have garlic and we enjoyed dinner very much. I had the lamb kabob which was not marinated in garlic and it was very good. It came with rice. The boyfriend had the Broiled White Fish and again, ate it all up — his digestive system isn’t nearly as sensitive as mine. The wine was nice and the service was good so we would probably return but not sure what else I can eat here since I can’t handle garlic. I was wondering why no falafel on the menu? The desert was nice too. it was a soy rosewater icecream and very different but refreshing taste.

Love this place! Everything is all organic and healthy! I got the vegetable panini and it’s hands down the best panini I’ve ever had. It came with a light salad too. I recommend the Fiji green tea with pineapple its bomb and they offer free refills. I always ask for a free refill to go when I leave. I highly recommend this place but I suggest you make reservations if your party is more than 2 people on a busy night. I can’t believe it took me so long to try this place out. I’ve walked by it a thousand times and finally tried it out last week! Now it’s my favorite restaurant in the Redondo Riviera!

Hmm… I enjoyed this place because it’s fresh, organic, and for your more superficial side, it’s a really cute café. My little bro and I went there for lunch and had a nice meal. We ordered their mint tea, which is really refreshing and delicious. It’s not cheap, but get the tea. You can sweeten it with agave, and it’s really nice. We had a seat by the window, which is great for people watching, and we ordered a couple of sandwiches. They were great! I had a sandwich with pesto and mushrooms, which was really flavorful my brother got a chicken sandwich. Everything was really good and pretty filling. The sandwiches came with a small side salad which was also nice. I would totally come back here for a nice lunch. It’s a little pricey, but you’re in the Riviera, so it’s expected. I especially like that I can sit outside with my pup. I don’t have to tie him up to some stupid gate on the lanai. It’s really nice.

Our Sunday brunch here was good! The little restaurant in the conner of the street is all organic. There’s inside and outside seating. The restaurant itself is nice and clean. There’s no host but we didn’t mind if there’s no waiting. To eat we had two any style eggs with herbs potatoes and a two slices of toast, small salad $ 14 – 15 and two pouch eggs and herbs potatoes on point $ 10. Service was slow ten table with two waitress the girls looked overwhelm. There was a older male who greeted us and since we sat there for 20min I ask him for two coffee but was unresponsive and didn’t make effort to service us. Waitress only check on us twice during our dinning. Coffee took 20min food took 40min.
