Samos has been in Greektown since 1977 serving up the most delicious Greek specialties. If you have…read morenever been here for lunch or dinner, you are missing something special and something quintessential Baltimore. We popped in for an early dinner on a Saturday night, arriving a little around 4:00 PM. Our friends had already arrived. Tammy, our server, had a table for us in just a few minutes. Tammy and Joyce have been with Samos for as long as I have been coming here. They both have great personalities and are very attentive to all of their customer's needs. Samos is a BYOB with a corkage fee, which was fine for us. We started with a cup of chicken noodle soup and a bowl of avgolemono soup (their classic Greek egg-lemon-chicken soup). Both soups were prepared fresh, delicious and filling. For the main course, each couple shared the Souvlaki Platter with two skewers of steak accompanied by roasted vegetables, tzatziki, and a Greek salad with their famous house dressing, along with grilled pita wedges. One platter had potatoes and one had rice. The steaks were cooked medium and seasoned perfectly. The platters were huge and more than enough for two people. Our friends decided to share a rice pudding for dessert that was sweet and creamy. Tammy suggested that we try a Galaktoboureko that she would make for us. Oh, my goodness, we were completely blown away with this dessert. It was a delectable semolina cream custard wrapped in filo, baked, and topped with honey syrup. We are definitely going to order this again. Don't let the long name intimate you - order this dessert - your taste buds will thank you. Thank you for a wonderful dinner with great service as usual!

Our meals were delicious and fulfilling. You can tell the food is well crafted. The lamb souvlaki was super tender and the gyro was one of the best that I've had in the area. The space feels like you're taking a small step into Greece. Will definitely return!

Definitely on the expensive side, but one of the better restaurants I've been to in terms of the food. Would definitely come back.

It's a kid friendly place too given that you have a well-behaved one :) Food-wise, this place REALLY impressed me. Everything tasted SUPER FRESH and well made, and I actually love that the dishes are pretty no-frills and let the ingredients speak for themselves. If you appreciate good ingredients and simple, well-executed food, this is definitely the spot for you. If you're looking for dishes loaded with sauce, MSG, or a ton of extras, this probably isn't your place. Everything here feels more focused on letting the ingredients speak for themselves. I usually can't eat feta cheese, but theirs honestly changed my mind. It was probably the best feta I've ever had. It's on the pricier side, but this is easily one of the best meals I've had in the DMV lately. Already know I'll be coming back!

I ordered the pastichio and spanakopita and omgggg it's so good. The pastichio came with pita and side salad. I am obsessed; it hits every single time. I love the crisp edges on the top of the pastichio and the way the pasta and bechamel melt into the meat - it's very satisfying. I ordered my food directly on their site for pickup. It was ready when it said it would be and everyone was kind in handing it off and letting me know where the utensil and napkins are if needed. The restaurant is cute. My friend and I have sat outside to eat once to enjoy our food and it was relatively calm and quiet. I love this place so much and maybe someday I'll stray from my usual but ehhh it's ok.

The nice crust on the pork, fries, and fresh chopped veggies separate this gyro for me. Definitely worth a stop next time you're not sure what to eat. The menu is very complete, something for everyone. The service is always prompt and friendly. The gyros, calamari, and other items are cooked to order, so you can call ahead if you don't want to wait. The sitting area is not very big, but I believe they have arranged the space to make it comfortable without being too crowded. Very cute Greek decorated with a beautiful picture of Greece for a complete Greek experience. 100/10 recommend

I chose the falafel pita, and elected to make it a platter. Even with huge portions, the price was still a bargain. The Greek side salad was crisp and tasty. They brought out a bottle of house-made dressing. There were so many chunks of Falafel in the pita, and the mound of rice with it was huge (you can have fries instead). I enjoyed a beer with it and the frosty mug that came out with it actually had little icicles on the rim. My server was Billy, who was very friendly and attentive. I will have to get back there soon & take my husband next time.

I would say this is more of a 3.5, rather than a 4 star review, continue reading ... The restaurant is beautifully decorated inside and out, with blue lights throughout. We loved that! We sat outside and were happy that the patio area wasn't very hot and that the nice large umbrellas protected us from the sun and were lit up when it got dark. We started with Saganaki, which included pita. It was flambed table side and delicious, we all loved it. We also had Calamari, I don't eat it but husband and daughter really enjoyed it. For entrees, husband had the special (filet mignon w/crab cake and shrimp on top), that came with mash potatoes and veggies. The steak was good but undercooked, the crab cake was good. Daughter had the pasta, she didn't really love it. I had the lamb shank with orzo. I don't usually like lamb but it was very tender and didn't have the aftertaste that usually comes with lamb. The service was very good, waiter was very attentive, replenished waters often and made good suggestions. Although we liked the restaurant, we felt that as a Greek restaurant there should be more Greek styled pork, chicken dishes. We also felt that some items were overpriced, specialty dish was $75, rib eye was $68, lamb shank was $55, roasted chicken was $39, etc. We will not return for another dinner, but might consider going for lunch to get gyros and Saganaki.

And regarding the Greek salad, what can I say it was a Greek salad. That too was also a big serving and it was good. I only ate half of it because I was so full from the Mousaka.
