Absolutely loved this old-school family-style Greek Restaurant. Food was well-prepared and the portions were generous. This was our first time, but the Moussaka, Avgolemono Soup, Greek salads and Tour of Samos were all wonderful

We just visited Samos for the first time. The food was absolutely delicious and for such a fair price. The portions were large and tasted authentic. For awareness, we ordered a gyro platter and a Greek salad. And the icing on the cake is the amazing service they provided to us. We were treated like family, and you can tell they really take pride in their work. Will definitely be coming back!

A down home, family type restaurant with amazing food and flavors. We had the grilled octopus. AMAZING!! Tasted like we were back in Greece. The portions are amazing. Large greek salad with Lamb and Shrimp Souvlaki platter. See the pics! Tasted AMAZING. Highly recommended.

Edit: came back again and the food was just as good. VERY consistently magnificent food.

Delicious food at reasonable price. Hidden gem at Baltimore. One of my favorite places to go. Parking is limited,must plan earlier. Reservations can’t be made online.
Now this right here was a great place to stop for dinner! The portions were very generous and everything was absolutely flavorful!

Our meals are great!!! Customers seem like an old timer here, everyone knows each other, which I really love. Our server had a little accident and everyone came over to check on her. This is the place you want to go if you want a welcoming ambiance.

Came here with The Missus (Bless 'er) and The Kid recently. Charming little establishment: spotlessly clean, with tables and chairs well-matched to suit this type of restaurant.
There are only ten tables (that I counted) in the main part of the restaurant, but they were full the whole time we dined. Everybody was lively and this seemed to be a very popular spot with the locals. BYOB and every table did.
The grilled octopus salad was one of the best I've ever had- and I always order it if it is available. The octopus being tender and flavorful, with just a hint of char from the grill.
The Missus (Bless 'er) ordered the Taramosalata, and it was excellent.
For main courses, the whole grilled Bronzino (which I de-boned) for The Missus (Bless 'er) and the grilled lamb chops (med rare) for The Kid. Both were cooked perfectly. I had the 'Greek Pizza.' Bit of a misstep here: the pizza was piled high with toppings, but was sadly undercooked. I ate a piece and took the rest home, heating it at 500 for ten minutes, and it came out perfect and perfectly delicious.
For dessert, the baklava and the galaktoboureko, which was new to me. The Kid and I gobbled both up in almost record time (despite being quite full from the generous portions).
Side salads were served before the main courses, and they were waaay above the norm, with lots of fresh feta and crispy veg, the salads are almost a single reason to return.
We are hankering to return and try more items from this small place with big flavors.
