Back in the day, folks in search of some souvlaki had to look hard to find tiny Santorini Greek Kitchen, tucked into a nook at Fountain Square. The only thing tiny about Santorini these days is the space between tables (which are now white-clothed, thank you very much). Indianapolis fell in love with Taki and Jeanette Sawi's authentic Greek and Mediterranean menu and came in droves, necessitating the move to a larger space. The newer, open restaurant offers diners a view of the kitchen, where Taki reigns supreme, putting to good use his 15 years of kitchen experience in Greece, Cyprus and Crete. The fire in the kitchen comes right out into the dining room when saganaki, a flaming goat cheese appetizer, arrives at your table. Opa! The tomato balls, another "hot" starter, are a Santorini exclusive. A mixture of tomatoes, vegetables, breadcrumbs and herbs are formed into balls and fried in olive oil. Can you say Opa too many times in one night? The Sawis manage to bring the Mediterranean to landlocked Indy with lots of fresh seafood selections; try the fish souvlaki (otherwise known as a kabob), loaded with big chunks of fresh fish and grilled vegetables. Since you're on virtual vacation, treat yourself to a rich dessert such as galaktoboureko, which is phyllo dough stuffed with custard and baked in a clear syrup. One more time? Opa! Reservations not accepted. Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner Mon–Sat. Closed Sun. Voted Best Greek/Mediterranean Restaurant in the 2009 Nuvo readers poll and 2008 Indianapolis Monthly readers poll, and a Best Restaurants 2008 in the critics poll.
