Mediterranean Meets South Bay Cool at Turquoise Restaurant

Tucked away just steps from the Pacific Ocean, Turquoise Restaurant in Redondo Beach is a cozy, colorful spot that brings global flavors to the South Bay. Known for its inviting atmosphere and an eclectic Mediterranean-inspired menu, Turquoise has quietly become a local favorite — and for good reason.

Turquoise specializes in Mediterranean fusion cuisine, blending influences from Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, and beyond. It’s the kind of menu where you’ll want to order several small plates to share — and luckily, that’s exactly how they recommend you dine.

They serve a variety of flavorful appetizers like creamy hummus with roasted peppers and pomegranate, smoky baba ghanoush, and a rich spinach yogurt dip. Guests can choose from kabobs made with all-natural chicken or grass-fed lamb, fresh salmon plates, and satisfying vegetarian options like roasted vegetable platters.

Turquoise Restaurant stands out not just for its food, but for the genuine hospitality that defines the experience. There’s a laid-back charm that instantly puts you at ease, whether you’re coming in from a beach day or planning a casual date night.

The owner and staff take pride in creating a space that feels personal and welcoming. Regulars are greeted by name, and first-timers are treated like old friends.
