Blu Kouzina

Topping this list is our favourite spot in Dempsey Hill, Blu Kouzina. A large airy room with high ceilings and characteristic white and blue décor, Blu Kouzina is all about family outings on the weekend. The pass is managed with an iron-hand and each dish speaks of excellence. The lamb meatballs are succulent and we love their roast chicken with meat falling off the bones. The surprise element though is an exceptional vegetarian moussaka with layers of peppers, eggplant and potato.

Successfully operating in 3 continents with recognisable brands, Blu Kouzina is a Mediterranean marvel! Holding Greek-origins, this family-owned establishment serves up just about everything you could want or find in an authentic Greek restaurant. Splurging with high reverence to quality olive oil & Greek ingredients, they unfailingly offer up first-rate Mediterranean meals, which are hearty, home-cooked and scrumptious! 

Blu Kouzina has established itself as one of the finest restaurants serving authentic Greek cuisine in Singapore! Apart from the classic mezze platter and dips, the grilled octopus, lamb chops and moussaka are must-haves. Due to its popularity, it can get quite crowded so be sure you make a reservation in advance to ensure you’re not kept waiting.

There is literally nothing better than a fun dinner at a good Greek restaurant. The Retsina flows, plates are smashed (or the smashing is talked about excitedly) and the food just keeps coming.

Blu Kouzina in Dempsey used to be more fun and has lost its lustre. It's so wildly expensive that a small family dinner - 2 adults and 3 small kids - ran to $250 without alcohol!

The food was massively hit and miss - the Imam Baildi, (S$15) a whole eggplant filled with a Blu Kouzina tomato sauce and feta on the side, was heavenly.

The Hummus, Tzatziki and Taramosalata dips - at S$9 each for about 50g!! - were bizarrely tasteless. That was plus $5 for each piece of a really weird pita bread. I wonder how it's possible to mess this classic up.

The Souvlaki Kotopoulo (S$15) - a chicken skewer wrapped in pita bread, with tzatziki sauce, fresh tomato, red onion, and red paprika was not overly exciting. Again, a classic dish.

The Kalamaki Souvlaki (S$17), a beef skewer served with fresh onion, sliced tomato, in-house bread with a side of tzatziki sauce has one small piece of very tasty beef.

This place really used to be one of the best Greek restaurants this side of the Bosphorus - but it has seriously lost its way. The service was excellent however.

This is seriously one of the best fine dining Greek restaurants I've ever come across, plus in such a lovely area. The authenticity and variety of Greek food, you really think you are in Greece.
