For a city like Mumbai, that almost always manages to put a kibosh on our larger-than-life, spatially-challenged dreams, OPA Kipos makes a mark with its gargantuan footprint. Housed in the same, super high-ceilinged ground floor location in Worli  that once contained the Pan Asian restaurant Shiro, this 180-seater modern Greek and Mediterranean cuisine restaurant makes the most of its three-levelled interiors. Intimate private dining spaces and nooks nestled in alcoves and balconies in the semi-open higher two levels give the restaurant some serious Aegean island vibes. With a giant plaster of Paris head of the Greek God Hercules dominating one corner of the main level, juxtaposed with faux pink bougainvillea vines creeping along the rough-hewn white walls and vertiginous, wooden, blue louvered windows, one is instantly teleported to Santorini.

The restaurant’s theme and menu itself is one that is transported by its flagship Dubai outpost to others like Bahrain and St Tropez and now Mumbai. Still, chef Rohan D’Souza manages to infuse a bit of his food philosophy. One that meanders from the Greek islands to the Levant, picking up influences en route.
