Food+Service+hospitality just incredible. we are coming back! Felt at home and very welcome here. Everyone is awesome.

Excellent food. When one knows just by how the knife slices the dish that it's going to be excellent. Earnest & lovely team but obviously understaffed. No worries but a reminder to others to be patient & kind for those who are there doing their best. read more

Unfortunately, the experience was subpar. My local co-op has better halloumi and the keoftedes taste was weird. Service was ok, but we were seated on a small table even though plenty of space was available outside. The yard that we were seated was nice; I was not impressed by the restaurant's ambiance. read more

Had an excellent experience! Our first time doing a tasting menu anywhere, and has probably got us wanting to check these out in restaurants which do them. We were in Baltimore for our daughter's graduation, and she had made a reservation for dinner, for a couple of her other friends' families and us. The appetizers/dips/pita/salad samplers were all excellent; as were the meats (chicken, salmon, lamb)! I wasn't super crazy about the dessert- was chocolate cake, also donut kind of thingies, but the rest of the meal made up for it. Other people In our group seemed to have enjoyed them quite a bit though, so it was likely just me! Wish I had taken a picture of the entire tasting menu for details but forgot to save it! So I have pictures of the food, but no specific names of the dishes! Would definitely recommend if in the area. Is pricey but I think worth it (for special occasions)! The owner was very sweet and nice, came out and chatted with us; there was some confusion and they mistook our entire group as vegetarian, but once we clarified that that was not the case, he came out personally and quickly made amends, sending out meat platters as well! Loved it!! And I lied: I found my picture of our menu: New Tasting Menu #1: $48.00 Minimum 10 ppl Course 1 Served Family Style. Classic Hummus & Wood Baked Pita Bread / Salates Sampler with Pita / Spinach & Cheese Pies / Makaronia Tou Fournou / Falafel Balls Course 2 Served Family Style. Grilled Portabello Mushroom / Grilled Chicken Tenderloins / Grilled Beef Tenderloin Kebab / Grilled Salmon / Served w/sides of Tabouli, Cyprus Fries, Red Quinoa Pilaf & Lemon Potatoes Course 3 Served Family Style.

This was my second time at Cypriana and I brought some friends along to introduce them to this amazing cuisine. We were seated inside and waited on by Mossimo. He was fantastic and kept checking back and taking our continuous orders of shareable plates and cocktails. We thoroughly enjoyed the Hummus and Pita, the Baked Macaronia Tou Fournou, Falafels, Stuffed Grape Leaves, Wood Roasted Olives, Spicy Chickpeas, and Lamb Shank. The owner kept stopping by to chat and even treated us to a lesson on enjoying the bone marrow in the shank. This created some raucous laughter as one of us actually demonstrated (and delightfully succeeded in) sucking the marrow out of the bone with a straw. The chef also greeted us and we were able to tell her how much we loved everything we tried. And, I mean, EVERYTHING. Each dish was flavorful and delicious. My favorite part of the meal was dessert. The Pistachio Sea Salt Baklava is out of this world. Anything with Filo dough is going to be fire, but this hand-rolled pasty with pistachios and sea salt dipped in a sugary syrup is incredible. The Loukoumades (like donuts) are fantastic with the honey syrup glaze. It was nice introducing some new fans to this place and I appreciated the owners making it very special for my group. The friendship, fellowship, amazing food and service, and atmosphere made a night to remember. read more

Love this hidden gem. Really cool, interior vibes and excellent food. Great for takeout as well.

We love Cypriana, and we've always eaten well there. However, on Thursday December 15 we've been disappointed. Three friends ordered the grilled octopus for dinner (it's always been tender and exquisite). But they all said that it was somewhat hard, maybe too done? My grilled salmon was just perfect. The staff and the atmosphere are always excellent there, so we'll return. read more

The restaurant hosted a birthday party for a friend and had a dedicated menu package for all guests and then (without the hosts knowledge) served some of the guests off their regular menu causing an overage on the bill of over two thousand dollars. When I requested to see the manager a lady came out and said she was the head chef (she was actually the owner but didn't disclose that). I explained to her the situation and she simply said well that falls on your waiter and it will come out of his check if you dont pay it. Our waiter was a 20 year old young man and the only black server I saw in the establishment, then she hit his chest and walked away. We could not allow her to do that so we took care of it. We then noticed that she was yelling at him behind the bar in the middle of the restaurant in front of guests so we put a stop to that as well. As the owner she should have taken equal responsibility at a minimum. Also, to share our experience about the restaurant it was terrible. It was family style shared meal and they didnt give each table enough food at all they had little cuts of meat with toothpicks in them and not even one per person I split one with my husband it was crazy! Then we were instructed to park across the street as restaurant parking and almost had our car towed because the parking lot is shared with apartments and no signage for that so we had to pay the tow driver to not tow our car. It was a terrible experience and we were a large party of black people in a Greek establishment and felt the discrimination. I will never go there again! read more

Sam the waiter is as outstanding as the salmon. Exceptional food and service. Grateful it is in neighborhood. Les

Best Greek food in Baltimore! If you go to this place once, and you live in the Baltimore area, you'll go back again and again. The staff is smart and efficient and warm and everything we've tried is superb. read more

Great food and atrocious service! The food was good; the small plates were much more expensive than what you got. Come on, 4 shrimp for $21! It was good and tasty, but that's ridiculous! Octopus for $22, 8 small pieces. The food was really good but overpriced for the amount we got. I was still hungry after sharing 4 small plates with one other person and got the beef tenderloin kabob, which was listed as a middle plate, but there really was only a little kabob meat, and I expected there to be more. I was hoping for two skewers of meat, but just one. Again, the food was really good and not the reason for the 3 stars. Our waiting could have been better. She would be gone for long periods of time, and when she started to take our order, she excused herself to go to the bathroom. I mean, odd, though I wouldn't have wanted to see a puddle on the floor, so I get it, but it was just very strange, and I felt like our server was new and forgetful. We would order something, which got noted, but she forgot and asked us multiple times. It was quite ridiculous. I will return at some point, probably when the weather is nice, and we can sit outside and have a more leisurely dinner and a better server. I do not want this one waiting on me again! read more

6 of us throughly enjoyed Cypriana last night. We stumbled upon it and what a treat. It started in the bar with our two bartenders who were personable and gave us fabulous menu suggestions. The menu looked so good we had to try the spinach Ouzo dip right then and there. It was divine served with a fresh warm pita. We did not have reservations, but the hostess was friendly and accommodating to our group. We only had to wait about 5 minutes even though the restaurant was buzzing. We had the meatballs served with tzatziki (to die for), eggplant, a huge hummus plate, homemade pita with freshly prepared sausage and another spinach Ouzo dip. All of these dishes were small plates and were shared. Lots of vegetarian and many gluten free options. I only wish we lived closer so I could come back to this restaurant regularly and try everything on the menu. How lucky the people in this neighborhood are to have something so great within walking distance. Our service was also fantastic and attentive. read more

Went to Cypriana on a slow Saturday night. We ordered three different meals and a beet salad. The service was great and they seated us by the window in the bar which was a bit different from the main dining area. So let's start with the beet salad which was in my opinion lackluster. The greens were okay but they gave four small slices of beets, a few spicy pecans that burnt my tongue and two tart cherries. This was a poor example of a beet salad from any restaurant that has served us one. Too few beets, dry greens and nasty pecans. Please reimagine this dish. My husband had the lamb chops which looked lovely and he said they were excellent. There were four plump meaty chops on his plate with large lemon potatoes. My son had the portobello platter and he said it was good but I noticed it was a bit wet looking on the plate, too much oil in my opinion. Finally I had the salmon platter. The salmon was fair, lacking the great taste of good grilled fish. It has a strange crust on the top and the fish was not flaky and a bit tough. My potatoes were oily, dark and burnt to a crisp. The lemon potatoes were usually soft puffs of potatoes but these were not. There was a tabouli salad but it was very wet and too vinegary for my taste. I was totally disappointed in my meal. We have been there many times but this time showed some slippage in the preparation of the food. I recommend, less oil, don't overcook and fix that beet salad which was tasteless and overpriced for the serving. read more

Thank you for a wonderful evening!!!!! My husband and I had a long overdue date night. Cypriana was an excellent choice! The owners are very personable and made us feel very special. Thank you! We had a little of everything. Each dish was so delicious!!!! They were so beautifully presented too. We loved all the homemade sauces and could taste all the fresh herbs. Lots of "OMG this is amazing...." We'll be back soon. Mikey was our server. He's excellent. Thank you Mikey. Now we know why so many friends love this place. It is amazing - Highly recommend. read more

The food is amazing you cannot get anything bad The service is top of the line knowledgeable and professional. read more

Cypriana of Roland Park is standard Greek food in the area. It is a neat looking place. The food was fair. Portions were very small, despite the price tag. Hummus with one pita for $17 is very steep. Some of the dishes were good, however. Parking can be difficult to find. read more

OMG!!!! YUM! The homemade hummus and fresh out of the oven pita are so delicious!! I'm craving more! Hands on owners - make you feel like family xo Love this place! read more

Cypriana remains the only place to go to get the most finely cooked octopus and perfect whole bronzini. Chef Maria is a rockstar at her craft. Disregard any reviews less than 5 stars, as they were likely written by entitled brats who don't understand how hard it is for a restaurant to pivot during a pandemic. Cypriana has persevered, conquered, and deserves applause from the entire community. read more

A beautiful dining experience. Compliments to the Chef. Everything we ordered from the menu was deliciously prepared, beautifully presented. The service and attentiveness was professional and friendly. Makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend. read more

I had such a fun time with my mom visiting from the West Coast! We ordered four small plates that the waitress (who was really wonderful) recommended. All were delicious and comforting. There were lots of great gluten-free options on the menu, so we could share everything, too. They made us feel special and part of their community (I have never written a review before, but am moved to). My mom kept saying how clear it was that the food was cooked with love. Thank you! read more

Pretty good food...a little pricey but food was good. We ordered the crab cakes, lamb chops, fish, Appetizers: halloumi cheese, chef's hummus, grape leaves. Portions are a bit small but food was pretty good. Crab cake dish, lamb chop dish, and the Branzino fish --they all came with lemon wedges, cucumber salad, n fries for sides. The chef's hummus was actually a spread out hummus with cooked eggplant in the middle. The pita bread was pretty fresh and herbed. The halloumi cheese -was only 3 little pieces I would of liked a big block of that for my appetizer..not a taster sized pieces posing as an appetizer... oh well, it was still good. Parking was street parking. Ambiance was alright. There was a rack stacked with wine boxes and scattered empty wine bottles. We were seated next to that. Maybe to give some sense of division and privacy from the tables on the other side. read more

It was our first time at Cypriana, and it was fantastic. We got a large Greek salad, a salad sampler and these little meatballs that were fried, it starts with a K. We were kinda full after that, but I want to go back to try the grilled octopus and the kbob and the hummus... basically the whole menu. Today I had a reservation somewhere else and I almost switched it so I could go back; it was that good. Also the martini was good! It was the lavender & tequila 10/10 recommend read more

The food at Cypriana is AMAZING. We love Greek food, but are used to it being much cheaper, so we were a little skeptical. We started with the smaller classic hummus, which came with a huge fresh fluffy pita. The amount was more than enough for an app for 2. The best small plate we got was the moussaka of Cyprus - I've never tasted a creamier béchamel, and the meat was perfectly seasoned. Close second was the falafel (note - it's crispier on the outside than most falafel I've had, most likely because it's finer/creamier on the inside). We liked the flavor of the Mougendra, but there just wasn't that much to it. DO NOT leave without getting the Pistachio Sea Salt Baklava. We were debating whether we wanted dessert and holy moly are we glad that we did. Service is friendly and great. Beer is really expensive (Natty Boh is $7). Cocktails too (nothing under $13). Wine is $7+. Also, parking in the lot across the street is free, and the ticket machine hasn't worked for awhile, so you don't really need it validated. read more

We had our first meal here and it was fantastic! We started with stuffed grape leaves and humus appetizers and they were next level fresh. The next time we go, we will get a bunch of small plates just to sample as many things as possible. The salmon entree was amazing as were the filet beef kabobs. There are plenty of vegan options if that floats your boat.The outside dining area was surprisingly large. The staff there really seems to work as a team . Our waitress, Grace, was exceptional! We will be back for sure. read more

This restaurant was a real find for my husband and me, returning from California for a visit to see friends and family in Baltimore where my husband grew up. Sam, our waiter, was enormously helpful. With his advice, we started with hummus and pita bread, which were delicious and clearly very fresh. For the main course, my husband had grilled jumbo shrimp and I had grilled portobella mushroom. Both were delicious. Save room for dessert and ask Sam for help choosing one. We'll be sure to come back on our next visit "home". Thank you for a memorable meal. read more

We had a dinner here for 23 people the night before my daughter's wedding, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We had their tasting menu #1, and it was terrific. It was served family-style, and the food just kept coming -- everything was fresh and delicious and interesting. The service was just right -- friendly and helpful, not overbearing. It was perfect for us. read more

Great food and service. Get a reservation if you're going on a Friday or weekend dinner. The vibes are giving upscale Greek Olive Garden. You feel like family while eating here. Try the honey feta appetizer. read more

What a fantastic Mediterranean experience. A warm family environment that transports you to the Mediterranean. Highly recommended.

It was such a joy to return to Baltimore and have such a wonderful meal. We came in a large group for a celebration, and the manager and servers were so wonderful and accomodating. The chef even prepared more of the crab dip for our table after the kitchen had run out. Will return next time I'm in Baltimore. read more

Worst experience I have ever had. Food was salty. Staff was overwhelmed. Owner made no effort to accomidate the fact that our dinner came out at 3 different times and there wa sonly 5 of us. They never made a simple effort to appoligize for such a poor experience. read more

After hearing lots of praise about Cypriana, I was excited to dig into their acclaimed dishes. Overall impression? Tasty for sure, but a bit overpriced in my opinion. I ordered the small salad sampler + added falafel and a small classic hummus. For $15 for the sampler (+$2 for one falafel) and $9 for the hummus, I was expecting a bit more portions wise. Let's talk basics first--hummus and pita. The pita was thick with just the right amount of chewy doughy texture. Brushed with olive oil and za'atar, this is pita done right. The hummus was blended to perfection and peppered with black sesame seeds. I will say though, a little heavy handed with the olive oil. I found myself pouring off a good deal so as not to detract from the full hummus flavor. The salads that the sampler came with were what I would characterize as solid bites but nothing that blew me away. I think I'll keep this spot on my list to try some additional dishes but not sure it'll become a go-to with the price/portions ratio. read more

We are fairly new to the area and had heard great things about Cypriana, love greek food so decided to give it a try. The server was wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable; the actual service was very slow, though not her fault. The food, however, was mediocre and disappointing. I ordered the chicken which sounded great on the menu; it was overdone and dry-probably should have sent it back but didn't bother. My husband ordered the octopus-it was done well and very tasty, but a very small portion and not something you should order if you are hungry. We had the hummus-really good, the greek salad was not as good as it could have been. Maybe it was just an off night. We should probably give it another and hope it was just an off night. read more

I could not recommend this restaurant enough - the food is superb, the atmosphere is cozy and the service is out of this world. Highly highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic Greek cuisine and looking for an amazing time please visit Cypriana!!! read more

Great food.... TERRIBLE SERVICE. My boyfriend and I had a Saturday date-night here a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting a review. We both love Mediterranean food and discovered this place last Valentine's Day (2/2019). We loved the food and for the place being so packed at the time, the service was good. So we returned. It was one of the first Saturdays after Christmas and the place wasn't very busy... there were a few large groups seated after us. Our server was friendly enough, but didn't seem polished for this level of restaurant. He brought my boyfriend a bottle of red to the table that was almost empty, proceeded to pour the almost empty bottle into his glass, then stood there and opened a new bottle, MEASURED IT right there at the table, then poured the remainder. I get that you have to keep an eye on your inventory... but this does NOT make a good impression! If you must measure, do it behind the scenes, for God's sake and don't pour from an almost empty bottle. I expect a "measured" glass of wine at a chain like Cheesecake Factory; not at a high-end establishment. We split the Classic Hummus & Wood-Baked Pita Bread which came out promptly, with a beautiful presentation and was unreal! The hummus itself was amazing; the warm pita sent it over the edge. We waited far too long for the server to reappear for a second request for wine. He brought it, but did not clear any of the dishes. Our small table was quickly filling up with appetizer plates, dishes, and empty wine glasses, and he seemed to not even notice.... so I turned around and started stacking the dishes on the window-sill behind me to clear space for our dinner. I couldn't believe it! I had the crab-cakes which were to die for. Hardly any filler and I loved the Mediterranean spin with having a Tzatziki-type sauce on the side. Tim had a steak which was also very good. By the time we finished our meals, our server had all but disappeared and I had become so frustrated and upset with his lack of attentiveness, we decided to skip dessert and just leave. We waited and waited and waited and I finally got out of my seat to find someone who'd help me; found the hostess and asked her to bring our check and a box for leftovers. She did so, but with no apology whatsoever. While we waited for the check to arrive, our server finally showed up and asked us if we wanted dessert to which I told him we were already getting our check. My boyfriend and I dine out quite often. With all the choices of places to eat these days, I just don't understand why a high-end establishment like Cypriana wouldn't train their servers in customer service and basic serving skills. To me, you can have a top-notch chef on board, amazing food, and atmosphere, but if the element of good service is missing... if you mistreat your customers and have servers who IGNORE their patrons and make them have to search down people to provide them service... you will lose business quickly. He also left money on the table as we would have ordered more wine and a dessert had he not treated us so badly. I'm pretty easy to please. Bring me a glass of wine in a timely fashion, serve good food, and do not ignore me. Am I asking too much? I doubt we'll return to Cypriana. It's a shame, too... because the food is outstanding. But I can name 10 other places we'd select over Cypriana to spend our money where the service is up to par with the food. read more

Disappointed. Overspent for food quality. Branzino was warm and dry, tasted like it had been in the freezer then reheated. The lemon potatoes tasted like french fries had been repurposed. Wanted to love this place as reviews were good. Couldn't. read more

This was my second dining experience at Cyprianna of Roland Park. The first evening was outstanding (2021), the second was even better. We had the hummus as an appetizer, delic! The main portion was Lamb Shank, WOW!!! Tender, tasty w/ some wonderful dipping sauces. The portions were very generous and delicious. The wait staff kept our drinks filled and served our food w/ a smile. Our waitress, Campbell or Cam (as she liked to be called) was fun and knew the menu like the back of her hand! Thank you Cyprianna and Cam! Troy read more

Cypriana was exceptional! We went on a rainy Thursday night and it was extremely lively! We ordered the Chefs Hummus, Halloumi Saganaki, and Meatballs as appetizers! The Chefs Hummus was wonderful but we felt that the eggplant made it a little tangy which we didn't expect. Halloumi was to die for! I am a vegetarian so I did not have the meatballs but my boyfriend and friend raved about it. I had the Falafel for dinner and it was the best I've had! The Falafel was moist and soft with the right amount of sauce. It came with a side of french fries that had some kind of lemon seasoning which I was not a big fan of. My dish also came with a tangy lemon sauce that I could have done without. Overall - this is an excellent place for any occasion! The owner, Vaso came to personally greet us and seemed to want to get to know his customers. We will be back! read more
