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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

For years, this was the top rated restaurant in Baltimore on Yelp.com. Number 5 now (for the entire city!) which is no small feat. Really worth waiting two hours for a table, trust me! Read more

Have some pizza or grab a $5.50 pita wrap. Start off with some hummus, tzatziki or some tapenade. Delicious Greek food, that has won local awards. Read more

Must bring a bottle (or two) of vino and order the Spinach Pie as an appetizer. The Greek Salad with Gyro meat is awesome as well as the grouper.
