This old-school Greek restaurant only takes cash at its original location on Oldham Street in the heart of Greektown; specialties include gyros , garlic shrimp , and spanakopita . Read more

Staff friendly and helpful. Had spanakopita , saganaki , grilled chicken pita , lemon chicken oreganato and baklava which was all delicious. Will go back if in the area.

Some of my favorite Greek food , make sure I have it every time I'm near Bmore. Incredible souvlaki and spanakopita . Also highly recommend trying the galaktoboureko for dessert .

Jina Shin

Bring a bottle of wine , get the Samos Special Salad with Lamb & the Lamb Souvlaki . Always packed and busy pretty much every day of the week, so be ready to wait! WARNING: You will crave it like crack.

Baltimore Photographer Marty Katz

This is the best Baltimore Greek restaurant . Cash only . Don't go between 11:45 AM and 12:55 PM because of the lunch-hour rush. If you go Friday or Saturday night, go before 6. Tip well - hard workers!

Andrew Mack

Is this your first time here? Try the "Tour of Samos". It is a sampler platter of their most popular dishes. Make sure u try the Greeksalad with their homemade dressing . BYOB and cash only .

Mary

This place is always worth the wait. Great for a group date. Also BYOB . Get the Tour of Samos and you don't need to order anything else!

Jenn

Samos serves "Baltimore's Best" Greek food , according to many local awards. Pita wraps start at $5.50, and they also have pizza , platters and pasta . There's usually a wait on the weekends.

Tim Gioutlos

Ok so this is the best Greek restaurant in Greektown. Don't be afraid to try something new like octopus . Just sayin.

Delicious Greek food . Perfect stop between NYC and DC. Pick up a bottle of their dressing to go!

Avoglemono, lamb pita wrap and baklava are all superb!
