Samos is a staple for me--I'm here at least once a week and it never misses. The Greek salad is consistently fresh; extra olives are a must, and adding the grilled shrimp takes it to another level. The Greek gyro is easily the best I've ever had. It's a great, healthy meal with generous portions that usually last me two meals. I order the same exact thing every visit for a reason. read more

Samos Greek Island Grill - Greek Salad with Shrimp - Greek Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Great place for a quick lunch on Whitestone ave that goes to the harbor, near I-95 exit. Simple grilled or gyro options menu. We tried a platter: one skewer of kebab ( you can choose between chicken, pork, lamb, beef or shrimp) that comes with two sides ( choice between roasted potato or veggies, fries, rice , salad). For about $16 it is a full healthy meal ( especially if you choose veggies and salad for the sides). Very friendly and efficient service. Choice of an outdoor sitting. We also tried Greek soup ( chicken soup with lots of orzo, carrots and parsley, and lemon juice) - I would give it a three, too much orzo , only can taste lemon, served lukewarm . Recommend for a lunch stop. ( park at Harris T garage just around the corner) read more

Good luck finding a parking spot out, depending on the day and time. But there is a garage to park in. When I walked in it's pretty quaint and cute. I noticed the sell certain beers which I was not aware off. The atmosphere was calm and quiet and very clean. They were patient as I browsed the menu deciding what I would get. I ordered the chicken skewer w/ roasted potatoes and French fries. I tried to switch to a salad for one of my sides. But my meal was already put together. They were very sweet about it though. The fries were hot and salted. I do wish they were either fried longer or fried twice. They were a little too soft for my liking. I like my fries much much crispier but they were decent overall. The chicken skewer was seasoned and I loved the grilled taste! Paired with the tzatziki sauce, so good!! The pita was soft and good as well. As I was eating I realized I've ate here before because the roasted potato chunks are big but I didn't like them. This time I tried them they were very seasoned, soft and buttery, and flavorful. I definitely liked them much better this time around. I think I'll try them again but I'm in no rush . You should see for yourself how you like the food. read more

WOW this is some good Greek food. The chicken pita wrap is by far the best thing I have eaten in a while. I added feta to it and it was the perfect combo of fresh tasting ingredients. I also LOVE how they wrap it with aluminum foil to make it easier to eat...make sure to keep it on while you eat. The chicken skewer was good but definitely wanted some side dipping sauce for it. As far as service, I walked in to order takeout and they had it ready in about 6 minutes which was impressive. read more

I come here fairly regularly because their food is consistently top notch. I usually go with the chicken or lamb gyro and it is outstanding every single time. Service is always friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable as well. Love this place! read more

Great recipes. Loved the roasted potatoes; tastes like they slow cook them. Liked the island salad; lots of "junk" like diced apples. Enjoyed the tzatziki which is available with cucumber spears if youre GF. read more

I was told in a meeting that Samos is a go to spot. It was pretty bumping inside, filled tables, line, but everything was going by relatively quick including the food. Got 2 gyros, one lamb and one sliced gyro meat with some Greek fries. No complaints really. Just that the lamb was a little chewy, but I find that many restaurants don't fully know how to cook lamb. I would note that when it is busy it's hard to find a table and with that the tables don't really get cleaned up after each time it was used. Honestly it was really filling and kind of reminds me of big greek cafe. Will be back if I'm in the mood for Greek food! read more

This place is still a lunch time go to when I don't have my meal preps handy. The only notable change is the price. A greek salad with chicken, add extra chicken is a little overs $20. That's on the expensive side, but I justify it because I can split it in 2 for a light lunch and dinner. Calling in an order is still very easy and they have a nice informal space to eat if you choose to dine inside. They are super quick, quoting 5-10 minutes for a salad and no more than 20 for a more advanced order--- even during peak lunch times. read more

I ordered food to go from Samos and I have to say I did not really enjoy it. For the octopus, one tentacle was very tough while the other was tender. The Greek fries were OK and the platter was good. The rice had good flavor. The meat was kind of tough. The service was excellent and they have good seating options, including outdoor seating. read more

Samos Greek Island Grill - Lamb gyro - Greek Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

May I kiss the chef?! This is take out done right! I have never had takeout that was just as delectable and fresh as in restaurant dining, but this is not just takeout quality good. This food is fine dining good, for take out prices! I've gone to fine restaurants whose lamb chops could never compete with theirs. I will certainly be adding this to my list of favorites. I got the lamb chops with roasted potatoes and octopus. Normally, roasted potatoes that are thick cut are pretty dry. These had been marinaded and are succulent and robustly flavorful! The octopus is also typically quite difficult to pull off. They did so effortlessly. It was perfectly textured, saporous, mmmmmmm...and then, the Lamb! Flame grilled, perhaps? Perfectly sapid, charred yet still delicately tender. My family got gyros and kebabs! They felt equally as satisfied with everything! This is Greek food done right! And I ordered via Uber eats. The initial order noted it may take 30 minutes. It only took 15! Where in the Greek Gods did I happen upon this lovely restaurant? Do yourself a favor and indulge. read more

While driving through Whetstone, I came across Samos and my salivatory glands just started up. I LOVE Greek food but you can't trust everyone's way of preparing it, right? I decided I'd give Samos a 'go' and saw there was a away to order via the mobile app. Cool. While effective, it could use a little tweaking. Suggestions: 1) Allow a space to add notes (fry hard, extra sauce, no blah blah blah). There's no space / section for that. 2) once the order is placed, it's very efficient showing u all steps to the transaction. What it's lacking is a projected 'ready by' time, so u know when to pick it up. It can sit on the counter waiting for an undetermined amount of time or you can get there and they haven't even started. I would think it's a simple 'add', but I'm no IT guy. On to the choices for this maiden run. Melitzanosalata: Roasted eggplant, garlic, lemon, olive oil. My 'fat boy' genes kicked in and I didn't realize it at the time but I had baba ghanoush in my head. I was ready for those (BG) flavors. This side dish was more on the sweet side than the earthy, garlicky, herbaceous palette I was expecting to be hit with, while experiencing baba ganoush. Ah well. That's my fault. I take full responsibility bc my head wasn't in the right space so I will say, if you are looking for a sweeter side to dip your pita bread and cucumbers, this is prob a good choice for you. Spanakopita: Spinach, feta, herbs, wrapped in filo and baked. This was a very generous serving. It was light, flaky, flavorful. I really enjoyed the spanakopita. SCORE!!! I would return. I will just pay more attention to the menu selections, next times around. read more

I stopped in here the other day for an early meal. This is a small, tastefully decorated restaurant that serves yummy food. I got the grilled chicken wrap and enjoyed how delicious it was. The chicken was perfectly cooked, not dry and tasteless like it can be if overdone. So glad Samos is in my neighborhood. read more

This is my new spot for gyros. It's a few doors down from my gym, I can order online and pickup my food after I leave the gym, AND the food is excellent!!! My first, but definitely not last, visit to this particular Samos, I ordered a gyro and a side of the mixed veggies. The quality of the gyro was expected but those mixed veggies! JAYSUS! So dang delicious! Here's to a start of a relationship with this great, convenient, reasonably priced spot! read more

Ordered delivery from here and the food really hit the spot! Everything was delicious- the pita was so soft and the rice was seasoned to perfection. The grilled pork skewer was tender and juicy- only one came with the Samos platter and I wish I had ordered more! The Greek fries were okay, but I have yet to find Greek fries that blow me away. The fries underneath the top layer were particularly limp and bland, and the ones on top weren't that crisp on the outside either. The portion sizes where huge though! The platter with rice and fries lasted me three meals. My roommates ordered gyros and they all loved their food! The amount of veggies in their orders looked like it was a good balance with the carbs and protein. read more

This was my first time visiting this place but my bestie goes all the time and she was right. That don't disappoint. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken and omg! So delicious. Everything was fresh and prepared quickly. It's unacceptable that it took me this long to try it. The taste of the grilled chicken was unbelievable and I will definitely be trying it again. Good Job, Samos! We need one closer to me, just saying read more

After coming here a decent amount within the last year, I would say Samos is a solid 3. The portions are HUGE for the price and you can easily get 2 meals out of it. I highly recommend the gyro platter because you will get the most meat with this order. The skewer orders are skimpy. Overall, it's decent food, but I wouldn't say it's anything mind blowing or extremely flavorful. If you're looking for flavorful good Mediterranean food nearby, I recommend going to Baba's, but otherwise, this is a fast, cheap, filling, and convenient place to stop by. read more

Samos Greek Island Grill - Gyro platter (enough food for 2!!) - Greek Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is my go-to spot for Greek food in Baltimore....Maybe even all of Maryland. Their gyro wraps are so good. Everything tastes fresh and no ingredient overwhelms any other. I always get my order with a grilled octopus. The texture is so soft and not rubbery like your typical octopus meat, not to mention the capers and pickled onions bring a balanced and harmonious flavor to the dish. I recently tried their Spanakopita, which was just as great. layered with crisp, flaky filo, it had the right about of spinach and cream. I would get it again. Service has always been excellent everytime I ordered. The staff is very friendly and professional. Seating area is clean and well kept. Hands down the best place to satisfy your Mediterranean appetite whenever you're in the city! read more

Love this place. I've gotten food from here all throughout the pandemic, and they've given me delicious food every time at great prices and with excellent customer service. I love the pita wraps with chicken, gyro, or shrimp. All of them are a pretty substantial portion size, and their meat is tender and juicy. You can customize the vegetables and add plenty of options like feta, hummus, etc. I get it every time I come here. The veggie moussaka is delicious as well, one of my friends drives 30min just to get it here. For dessert, the baklava and galaktoboureko are also very tasty. I love the former when I want a sweet nutty flavor, and the later when I'm craving a creamier custard texture. Lastly, customer service!! I once made an error on an online order that made my order unable to be seen here. But, once I arrived, the staff went out of their way to fix everything for me at no cost. This restaurant takes care of their customers, and I look forward to supporting them nonstop throughout these crazy times. read more

Delicious Greek food! Everything we ordered was delicious. Friendly staff, clean restaurant, very fast food order. All the food is made there, even their baklava.

We ordered the gyro pita with everything - red onions, tomatoes, etc. Kabob with roasted vegetables, pita bread, and tzatziki sauce. All delicious. Order of fries sprinkled with feta cheese. Baklava - sweet dessert with crushed pistachios between layers of crispy and sugary, flaky, pastry dough. read more

Have been to Samos a few times, and each visit we've only appreciated their food (and service) more and more, with the most recent visit a few days ago which prompted this review. To start with, the tzatziki, which was creamy and delicious with the fresh cucumber and pita slices. Also as a side their amazing roasted potatoes which were just the best. And as a main, the special cod pita wrap was fresh and just a perfect balance of flavors and textures, along with their grilled shrimp skewer platter, which was cooked and seasoned to perfection. It's such a pleasure returning to a local eatery that serves delicious well prepared and CONSISTENT food, thanks Samos! read more

First impressions are the best! They aren't too far from me and on my way into the city. It reminds me of one of those corner carry outs all around the city but cleaner and worthy of me stepping in. I arrived shortly after the dinner rush so I received my food fast. I chose a simple basic gyro wrap because you can tell a lot from a restaurants take on a traditional dish. So, I could truly indulge without people wondering why this chick is devouring this wrap like she hasn't ate in days - because that's what happened lol, I snuck off to my car in the dark garage and dug in. I snapped some pictures before and that's when I truly realized how good it actually looked. Omg! FRESH FRESH FRESH. The red & white onions, tomatoes, light tzatziki sauce, and juicy hot slices made the perfect gyro. I wanted to try their baklava but it was displayed on the counter and didn't look too appetizing under the cloche. There are dessert shops for baklava though. The food is what matters here. 5 stars for now because I'm looking forward to coming back and try other dishes. read more

We ordered takeout yesterday to celebrate a family birthday. I had heard many good things about Samos - specifically from the Physical Therapy office close to the restaurant. We ordered chicken & shrimp skewers. Both were prepared well. We also had the grape leaf dolomites, grilled veggies, grilled potatoes and for overkill the Greek fries. All of it was good. The Greek fries were loaded with lemon & feta -- nice touch. Definitely will order the skewers again as those were delicious. read more
