Blu Kouzina is bringing its signature, wholesome Greek cooking to the Sunshine State after gracing for the past five years Singapore’s culinary scene. The acclaimed restaurant, born out of the founders’ passion for the food of their native Greece and their love of sharing a hearty, family meal with friends, has set up a second home in Sarasota.

Fresh and quality ingredients, mostly grown organically, and sourced from well established, local producers are used in dishes that are both traditional and creatively contemporary. What remains uniquely Greek and genuine are the flavors and the scents of extra virgin olive oil, fresh fish or succulent lamb that will take you on a journey from a beach-side taverna to a rural mezze shop.

    Outrageously delicious. They have come back with a vengeance from 2 hurricane’s Somehow service has gone to a whole new level. Food is the most authentic Greek food we have tasted since we were in Greece. The service team is outstanding. Do yourself a favor and make a reservation and eat here even if you are in the area for only one night, this must be on your list.

    I booked an outside table but when I checked in for my reservation I was told they could only seat us inside; we'd have to wait quite awhile for outdoor seating. Very frustrated by this as the noise level inside makes it difficult to talk without leaning in over the food. The food is excellent and the servers friendly but the hostess really screwed up. Never had this happen before.

    I love the food and the staff, but the new table arrangement on the porch crams us in like cattle and it's way too loud. I'll be back off season.

    The food was delicious. The help was very pleasant and we’re very good with us. The only thing is the restaurant is very loud if you can handle the sound the food is fabulous.

    Oh my! From start to finish our experience at Blu Kouzina was fabulous! I thought my husband would die from enjoyment of the house lamb and he is picky foodie. My Greek-style branzino was cooked to perfection. I can’t say enough about the orange cake. It is dense and sweet and so lovely. Don’t miss out! My only suggestion would be to improve the eggplant dip seasoning. We added salt and herbs, provided by request of the waiter in the cutest little bowls with tiny spoons. What a nice add. I must also mention that the service was very professional and attentive. Although they were very busy and hustling we never felt rushed. A couple locals recommended Blu Kouzina and we can understand why. We will definitely be sure to return should we visit Sarasota again!

    Dined at a busy time. Servers stretched a little thin. Excellent food. High energy vibe.
