Discover the Magic of Soutzoukakia – A Taste of Greek Tradition at Karma Restaurant
Cooking Class + Recipe with a Santorini Twist
Have you ever tasted a dish that feels like a warm embrace? That’s exactly what Soutzoukakia offers — a comforting, flavorful Greek dish with a rich story behind it.
The Story Behind Soutzoukakia
Soutzoukakia (σουτζουκάκια) are juicy, oblong meatballs cooked in a fragrant tomato and red wine sauce. The dish traces its roots back to Smyrna (modern-day Izmir), brought to Greece by refugees in the early 20th century. With spices like cumin, cinnamon, and garlic, this dish blends the flavors of East and West, creating something truly unforgettable.
Over the years, Soutzoukakia has become a beloved staple in Greek homes — and a favorite on the Karma Restaurant menu.
Our Signature Twist: Santorini Red Wine
What makes our Soutzoukakia extra special? We prepare it with Santorini’s own bold and earthy red wine, giving the sauce depth and a unique island character.

Shaping: Traditional oblong shapes — just like Yiayia (grandma) used to make.
Searing: A quick fry to seal in the juices.
Simmering in Sauce: Slowly cooked in a rich tomato and Santorini wine sauce.
Serving: Best with rice or mashed potatoes, and a glass of the same red wine.
