The Turquoise Table

At Turquoise Table, we believe that food is meant to be shared. Rooted in the rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean coast, our menu is a celebration of fresh, vibrant ingredients and time-honored recipes.

Located in the artistic heart of Venice, California, we aim to provide an atmosphere that reflects the warmth of our heritage. The third eye in our spirit represents inner vision and awareness — seeing beyond the surface to the soul of every dish.

Whether you are stopping by for our signature beef shawarma, a hearty bowl of red lentil soup, or treating yourself to a fresh Werbat topped with pistachios and raspberries, you are always welcome here. Afiyet olsun! (Enjoy your meal!)

Where Culinary Worlds Collide & Unite

The same dish, lovingly prepared across borders

Our dishes trace lineages across the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and beyond. Take the humble stuffed grape leaf — known by different names and embraced by many cultures:

  • Armenia — Tolma (Eastern) & Sarma (Western)
  • Greece — Dolmadakia Avgolemono
  • Türkiye — Dolma
  • Egypt — Mahshi / Waraq Enar
  • Syria & Palestine — Waraq Dawali
  • Iran — Dolmeh Barg-e Mo

At the Turquoise Table, these traditions converge. Our kitchen honors every origin while creating something uniquely ours.

Turquoise Table - Where Culinary Worlds Collide

Temptation

Life is too short for restraint. Our bold flavors, rich spices, and decadent desserts celebrate the art of indulgence. Every bite is an invitation to surrender.

Redemption

The purest ingredients, the simplest preparations. Our wholesome dishes honor the ancient wisdom of Mediterranean kitchens where food nourishes both body and spirit.
