Gyro platter with grilled veggies and greek fries
Michele F.

I was looking for someplace new to try for dinner near work and I had a hankering for Greek food, so I decided to stop in. You order and pay at the counter, then they bring you your food. There were so many options to choose from. I decided on the gyro platter, and opted for greek fries and grilled veggies as my sides. Wow, the portion size was huge! The gyro meat was accompanied by pita and tzatziki sauce and diced tomatoes. The grilled veggies were delicious, as were the greek fries. Even though I hadn't eaten lunch, I had difficulty finishing my meal. It's a great place to get good Greek food. Bonus, there is ample parking.

Delicious Greek food, perfect to take for to-go and have for a cozy girls night in! The service was fast and smooth, the eatery was clean and well organized. The veggie pita was delicious and wow, the spanakopita was big and delicious! Can't wait to get food from here again soon!

Menu

I have been coming here for years... when they first opened this location I was hoping for a traditional sit-down clone of the original Samos... but in the end this was obviously both the correct business decision and also the best for all of us customers! If you want more formal (but still relaxed) sit-down traditional Greek food, with the wide array of slow cooked and complicated dishes, you should go to the original Samos in Greektown. If you want the faster fare version, either for a casual sit-down or take-away meal, this is the best place for Greek food anywhere in Baltimore. Everything, and I mean everything, on the menu is amazing. In the Greek spreads I recommend the tzatziki or the tapenade, but they're all good. The salads are robust, and if you add protein they can serve very easily as a full meal. The pita wraps are all very well portioned and reasonably priced. The small plates work well for sharing as an appetizer or a side dish, and I in particular love the spanakopita and fried calamari. The platters are my go to for an after workout lunch or a dinner. The vegetarian moussaka is delicious and absolutely worth trying. All of the side dishes are delicious, and it's really a matter of your preference. Adding a grilled souvlaki skewer is really only beneficial if you feel like you need extra protein. The normal portions on the platters and salads and wraps is more than adequate. The one thing I would not strongly recommend are t desserts... It's just not as good as at the traditional restaurant.

Chicken and shrimp wrap

The wraps are so delicious. Top quality tender meat not like a corner truck! The customer service is also great. They bring your food to you whether it be take out or eat in. They have a nice warm environment with indoor and outdoor seating.

Quickly gets busy but fast and friendly service. The interior was nice and cool, and there is also outdoor seating available. Cute fast dining restaurant. The food itself was pretty good. Not the best Greek food, but still decent and especially for the price. The platter is skewered meat, pita bread, a hefty portion of tzatziki, and 2 sides. There was so much food to each platter that my friend and I each had two plates of food (pictures only show main plate with 1 side).

Grilled lamb sliced pita
Michelle B.

Came here w/ some coworkers after work with their recommendation. I came on a weekday during lunch hour and while it was initially empty, it became very full and there quickly was no tables left by the left we were down eating, definitely a popular place! Fried calamari 4.5/5, would have preferred to be more well done and crunchy but overall very well made and a lovely appetizer Roasted potatoes 3/5 very soft potatoes, again I would have preferred these to be more well done and crunchy but these were soft enough to virtually melt in your mouth which was not at all what I expected Grilled lamb sliced pita - 4.5/5, this was my main order, I was full for HOURS. the lamb is thinly sliced and well seasoned, and the tomatoes and onions were fresh and mixed well with the tahini sauce. Parking is definitely an issue right next to the shop but given its location in a giant outdoor shopping center, what better way to work off some of the huge meal you're about to chow down on then parking a bit further away and walking it off?

Chicken platter with potatoes and side salad
Tiffany D.

Samos is still very much a fan favorite for me. It's on the more expensive side when you think of take out, but it is a solid meal when you need something in a pinch. The hummus and pita is really good, and the chicken skewer platters are lovely. I prefer the rice to the potatoes as a side order, but the Greek salad is really a show stopper for me. The service is smooth and efficient when I'm picking up food. My friends were even able to get a to go order for me on my most recent visit. I might dine in eventually, especially with the tables outside when the weather is nice.

Pork souvlaki platter
Lia M.

I was glad to find Samos Greek Island Grill. We had tried to go to the full service restaurant in Greektown, but I was getting frustrated with parking, so we came here instead, as Canton Crossing has plenty of parking. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the pork souvlaki platter with Greek fries and salad; my friend got the lamb souvlaki platter with Greek fries and grilled vegetables. Everything was delicious. The feta in the salad was so good. The pork and lamb were both well-seasoned. Portions were good though it is only one skewer of meat. We were both happy with our meals. I'd return to this fast casual location anytime, though I hope to try the full service location soon.

Greek Salad with lamb
Phoenicia S.

ABSOLUTELY TRY THIS PLACE!!! Here in Baltimore on business and found this AMAZING SPOT!!! It is near many other options, but you have to give this place a try!!! as you can see from my photos I went here twice

Side salad
Monae S.

My wife loves this place. I mean sneaks and eats there all the time. She doesn't have to sneak anymore. This food is delicious. It's fast too. Food came out faster than a drive thru. My only complaint is I can't stop eating it! I was uncomfortably full. I will be scheduling a walk after the next time I go. It's a strong possibility it will be tomorrow. Not cheap though but they can have all my money. I had the chicken and the steak. Of course I had to add my extra protein. I liked the chicken more than I liked the steak but it was still pretty good. The pilaf was so perfect. The flavors were chefs kiss. The pita was soft. The salad was fresh. I can't say enough good things. I'm officially a fan.

I had the opportunity to eat at Samos Greek while working in my company's Canton location. I was happy when my coworkers told me they liked Greek food! It was about a seven minute walk from the office. I ordered a gyro and tried some fries with feta. I loved the gyro! The ingredients were fresh and the meat was hot. And the tiziki sauce was so good! And the fries, hello yummy goodness! I never had feta on fries. I would eat fries every day if they tasted like these lol! They had a lot of indoor seating plus several tables outside. It was a nice day, so we enjoyed sitting outside. We all loved our lunch and I will most definitely go back when I am in Baltimore again.

Sliced Gyro Wrap, Roasted Vegetables
Thembi S.

This isn't my usual Samos, the one at McHenry Row is more convenient to where I live. However, yesterday I was in Canton for an appointment and decided to grab dinner at this particular Samos. I went with my usual, the gyro pita and mixed veggies (I would have gotten a drink but they didn't have any birch beer on tap, poo!). I'd just sat down when the food was brought out to me, which was great b/c I was STARVING! So, idk what the Canton location is doing differently from McHenry Row, but the gyro AND the veggies were seasoned better in Canton. Not sure if it was the tzatziki sauce or if the tomatoes had a little something extra on them, or if a different seasoning is used on the grilled veggies. Either way, the food was on point and I wish I lived closer to Canton.

Maricia H.

A little overpriced for what you get. Also, the outside of the meat is flavored, but it doesn't get into the meat. Lastly, the inside of the meat was cold while the outside was warm. They need some kind of sauce or spread for the salvaki.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the fresh, flavorful food, generous portions, and quick, friendly service. The environment is clean and comfortable.

Samos sells pork so it is NOT halal?

I believe that's correct. They're a Greek restaurant...so they wouldn't seek to meet that requirement...

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!

Wow this spot 10/10…read more Came in, was seated immediately and our server was hands down what made our experience even better. She was so helpful, gave great recommendations, and was attentive. 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!

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!

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.
