Food is amazing! We got the grilled octopus (absolutely perfect), the souvlaki platter with one chicken and one lamb skewer (the lamb was wonderful), and the Maryland crab cakes. It was a feast! Definitely coming back! Ordered the baklava to go but it is probably going to be amazing too!

Samos truly delivers on authentic flavor! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious — fresh, well-seasoned, and full of traditional taste. The portion sizes were generous, making it a great value as well. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for quality Mediterranean food. I’ll definitely be back!

An exquisite hole in the wall of Greek Town. The food was amazing and customer service as expected. Limited seating and BYOB. Brought Mami here for Mother’s Day Saturday evening and the experience was wonderful. 20 minutes wait wasn’t bad, and I can only imagine Sundays crowd. Ordered the following: Grilled octopus: 10/10 charred beautifully, nice sauce Shrimp and feta pie: 9/10 never tried before but very good Build your own pizza - mushroom bacon olives 8 Kids pita pizza - regular cheese pizza Side Greek salad: 10 most meals come with salad. Bigger portion than expected, dressing is phenomenal. Grilled Branzino: 8.5 well seasoned and delicious. Wish it had no bone, but so worth the price. Combination platter 8/10 a lot of food, very good Add lamb skewer: 10/10 Best lamb I’ve had at a restaurant. Homemade lemonade: 8.5/10 refreshing and not too sweet

Went on a Friday night at 5:00. Parking was a little difficult, because it's all street parking, and at the time there was also construction. The food was amazing! And the price is really good for huge portion sizes! We will definitely be back!

Samos is absolutely fantastic. The fresh, warm pita with creamy tzatziki was the perfect start to the meal. The octopus was easily one of the best I’ve had, tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The gyro was also excellent, generously portioned and delicious in every bite. The salad came in a big portion, fresh and crisp, which made the meal even more satisfying. Between the quality of the food, the hearty portions, and the welcoming service, this place truly stands out. Highly recommended.

PERFECTION! Our server, Tammy, was unbelievable. She helped us try as many things as possible. Everything tasted fantastic. As close to Greece as you can get. Pictured is the grilled octopus, calamari, and cheese pie. Not pictured is the Roasted Chicken Oreganato which was also delicious, and ridiculously affordable. The atmosphere was nice and made even better by the amazing staff. This was my first time here but I will be coming back until I’ve tried everything on the menu.

This is my goto spot for Greek food in Baltimore and how fitting it's in Greek town. There's no reason to ask around as bang for your buck this is best place to go to eat great Greek dishes and not break the bank. You can also bring your own wine and the corking fee is cheap at 250 per person. Not shabby at all. I have also catered from here, and that's always a hit as well. No party size too big or small for Samos!!!!
