Blu Kouzina Review (Siglap): Yet again, Siglap’s restaurant scene shines because we now have an additional country complement with Greek Food added to our dining experiences on the doorstep. And this is a cracker. It is the ‘sister’ restaurant, Blu Kouzina Dempsey, the original location up amongst some incredible restaurants pers up at Dempsey Hill, such as Burnt Ends Dempsey, Red Sparrow, Siri House and the like. But this ain’t no Dempsey Hill, this is Siglap.
It now joins the Siglap East Coast family of incredible restaurants that we have on offer that are all within walking distance of the Siglap Centre. I think Siglap is more than competing with its neighbours that have their own offerings of Katong Restaurants and of course Joo Chiat restaurants. I think Siglap now has many of the best restaurants on the East Coast, and Blu Kouzina is one of those for sure.

Blu Kouzina Siglap Review
Before…
After…
This is NOT a Blu Kouzina Dempsey review: it's a Blu Kouzina Siglap Review
But first, what a complete change from what it was originally in the form of Blooies Siglap. Remember that was there before, dark and gloomy and all enclosed. It gets a warm welcome to Siglap with its shuttered windows that open the whole place up and make it akin to patio Al Fresco dining that I have done in Greece. They have made a sterling job to make this so light and airy.
The Greek food is just fantastic, and every single thing is so fresh and you can immediately taste that in the food, and see it in the plating. Also being surrounded by fresh herbs, fruit and greenery adds to that fresh ambience. This is clearly bred from the success of their first restaurant up Dempsey.
Let's hear a Blu Kouzina Siglap Review: from themselves (I love this...)
“Blu Kouzina is bringing its signature, wholesome Greek cooking to Siglap. This acclaimed restaurant is born out of the founder’s passion for the food of their native Greece and their love of sharing a hearty, family meal with friends. 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 flavours 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, where platters are shared among family and friends, sometimes amid heated arguments.”

"The closest you'll get to Greece without a passport..."
They really are delivering the best Greek food Singapore. You need to get yourself to any of the three locales and ENJOY!!! We never want to leave the place, we sort of become a fixture. Just sayin’: BEST LAMB MOUSAKA ever at Sentosa branch, it’s off-the-charts good.

Blu Kouzina Siglap Menu: what did we eat this day... (prices updated to 2024 menu)
3-Dip Platter: Choose any 3 dips (Included) Grilled Pita. @ $43.50. WOW, that’s seriously punchy for some dips and a bit of toasted flat bread.
They give these as almost a palate cleanser; Apple Slices dowsed in syrup and dusted ‘w’ Cinnamon
Artichokes: Fried & Topped ‘w’ Balsamic Cream – OMG!!! @ $21.50. Wow, they were $12.80 just after Covid: East Coast is now paying Dempsey prices. But these are so damned good!!!
Cucumber ‘w’ herbs: I just didn’t get this dish, it was basically just some cucumber, with vinegar, sea salt, oregano & EVOO. @ $8.50
Now, what I would recommend (no photo sorry) is the Watermelon Salad ‘w’ Mint & Feta @ $23.50
Dolmades: vine-leaves filled ‘w’ rice & herbs with mint sauce. 4 Pcs @ $19.50, 8 Pcs at $33.50. These are just great beer food, salty, savoury and just so very bl00dy good…
French Fries: tossed ‘w’ organic sea salt & organic Oregano. @ $14.50. Punchy for chips… Are we missing a Michelin Star here?
Greek Kanafeh: Kataifi & Kesari cheese
served hot with house-made syrup. Despite it being cheese, you really need a sweet-tooth for this dish. @ $17.50
Koulouri Regular: Traditional Greek sesame bread ring.
Paidakia: yes, Jude Jude loved this one. 3 grilled lamb chops, vegetables & potatoes. Seriously good lamb folks. But @ $65.50, that is another price hike wow as that is up from $32.80 a couple of years ago. Nearly double. Maybe it’s not ‘that’ good…
Labna Dip: Strained Greek yogurt with seasoning garnished with almond, pomegranate & mint leaves. @ $20.50
Lamb Kebab: Lamb skewers, grilled veg, Harrisa. @ $38.80.I can no longer find this on the current menu.
Lamb meatballs: in-house made meatballs with spicy Harissa dip, lemon & yoghurt dressing. 4 Pcs @ $19.50, 8 Pcs @ $27.50
My personal favourite palate cleanser (well, of course) is this beauty. I believe this is also homemade, Limoncello = WOW!!!
Melitzanosalata Dip: smoked eggplant, feta, herbs. @ $20.50
Feta Saganaki: feta cheese wrap with Phyllo pastry ‘w’ Greek Thyme honey & sprinkled ‘w’ sesame seeds = WOOF!!! @ $23.50
Spanakopita: Phyllo pastry filled with spinach, leek, feta cheese & herbs. 4 Pcs @ $29.50
Tirokafteri; spicy feta with Greek yoghurt, infused ‘w’ herbs, chilli flakes. @ $20.50
And all that is consumed as you sit here in this incredible light and airy dining area of Blu Kouzina at Siglap. I have to say it again. It feels Al Fresco, it feels Mediterranean veranda or patio, you feel transported to a Greek island. I love it!!! (I also believe that might be the joint-owner/Chef opening those shutters… to be confirmed)

Blu Kouzina Siglap Review: Our Conclusions
Seriously fresh and superb dishes were served to us this night ad for the following lunch. We’ll 100% be back, again and again for sure, and our next sampling will absolutely be the Blu Kouzina at Siglap Breakfast because that looks off-the-charts good in 2022
The light and airy design make you feel like you are sitting on a Mediterranean patio with the sun shining, beers flowing and incredible Greek food being consumed. It really is designed for family platter sharing sessions!, and I cannot wait for 5 PAX to be increased to 8 PAX to dine with friends too!!
East Coasters get yourself down here because it is just off-the-charts good. Non-East Coasters get yourself a Grab, no excuses!!!
