    Delicious Greek food, perfect to take for to-go and have for a cozy girls night in! The service was fast and smooth, the eatery was clean and well organized. The veggie pita was delicious and wow, the spanakopita was big and delicious! Can't wait to get food from here again soon!

    Cashier was nice Such fresh food Good flavor Perfect for takeout because it is small inside but there are outdoor seats!

    The wraps are so delicious. Top quality tender meat not like a corner truck! The customer service is also great. They bring your food to you whether it be take out or eat in. They have a nice warm environment with indoor and outdoor seating.

    I have been coming here for years... when they first opened this location I was hoping for a traditional sit-down clone of the original Samos... but in the end this was obviously both the correct business decision and also the best for all of us customers! If you want more formal (but still relaxed) sit-down traditional Greek food, with the wide array of slow cooked and complicated dishes, you should go to the original Samos in Greektown. If you want the faster fare version, either for a casual sit-down or take-away meal, this is the best place for Greek food anywhere in Baltimore. Everything, and I mean everything, on the menu is amazing. In the Greek spreads I recommend the tzatziki or the tapenade, but they're all good. The salads are robust, and if you add protein they can serve very easily as a full meal. The pita wraps are all very well portioned and reasonably priced. The small plates work well for sharing as an appetizer or a side dish, and I in particular love the spanakopita and fried calamari. The platters are my go to for an after workout lunch or a dinner. The vegetarian moussaka is delicious and absolutely worth trying. All of the side dishes are delicious, and it's really a matter of your preference. Adding a grilled souvlaki skewer is really only beneficial if you feel like you need extra protein. The normal portions on the platters and salads and wraps is more than adequate. The one thing I would not strongly recommend are t desserts... It's just not as good as at the traditional restaurant.

    Quickly gets busy but fast and friendly service. The interior was nice and cool, and there is also outdoor seating available. Cute fast dining restaurant. The food itself was pretty good. Not the best Greek food, but still decent and especially for the price. The platter is skewered meat, pita bread, a hefty portion of tzatziki, and 2 sides. There was so much food to each platter that my friend and I each had two plates of food (pictures only show main plate with 1 side).

    Came here w/ some coworkers after work with their recommendation. I came on a weekday during lunch hour and while it was initially empty, it became very full and there quickly was no tables left by the left we were down eating, definitely a popular place! Fried calamari 4.5/5, would have preferred to be more well done and crunchy but overall very well made and a lovely appetizer Roasted potatoes 3/5 very soft potatoes, again I would have preferred these to be more well done and crunchy but these were soft enough to virtually melt in your mouth which was not at all what I expected Grilled lamb sliced pita - 4.5/5, this was my main order, I was full for HOURS. the lamb is thinly sliced and well seasoned, and the tomatoes and onions were fresh and mixed well with the tahini sauce. Parking is definitely an issue right next to the shop but given its location in a giant outdoor shopping center, what better way to work off some of the huge meal you're about to chow down on then parking a bit further away and walking it off?

    Samos is still very much a fan favorite for me. It's on the more expensive side when you think of take out, but it is a solid meal when you need something in a pinch. The hummus and pita is really good, and the chicken skewer platters are lovely. I prefer the rice to the potatoes as a side order, but the Greek salad is really a show stopper for me. The service is smooth and efficient when I'm picking up food. My friends were even able to get a to go order for me on my most recent visit. I might dine in eventually, especially with the tables outside when the weather is nice.

    ABSOLUTELY TRY THIS PLACE!!! Here in Baltimore on business and found this AMAZING SPOT!!! It is near many other options, but you have to give this place a try!!! as you can see from my photos I went here twice

    Pork souvlaki platter
    Lia M.

    I was glad to find Samos Greek Island Grill. We had tried to go to the full service restaurant in Greektown, but I was getting frustrated with parking, so we came here instead, as Canton Crossing has plenty of parking. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the pork souvlaki platter with Greek fries and salad; my friend got the lamb souvlaki platter with Greek fries and grilled vegetables. Everything was delicious. The feta in the salad was so good. The pork and lamb were both well-seasoned. Portions were good though it is only one skewer of meat. We were both happy with our meals. I'd return to this fast casual location anytime, though I hope to try the full service location soon.

    My wife loves this place. I mean sneaks and eats there all the time. She doesn't have to sneak anymore. This food is delicious. It's fast too. Food came out faster than a drive thru. My only complaint is I can't stop eating it! I was uncomfortably full. I will be scheduling a walk after the next time I go. It's a strong possibility it will be tomorrow. Not cheap though but they can have all my money. I had the chicken and the steak. Of course I had to add my extra protein. I liked the chicken more than I liked the steak but it was still pretty good. The pilaf was so perfect. The flavors were chefs kiss. The pita was soft. The salad was fresh. I can't say enough good things. I'm officially a fan.

    I had the opportunity to eat at Samos Greek while working in my company's Canton location. I was happy when my coworkers told me they liked Greek food! It was about a seven minute walk from the office. I ordered a gyro and tried some fries with feta. I loved the gyro! The ingredients were fresh and the meat was hot. And the tiziki sauce was so good! And the fries, hello yummy goodness! I never had feta on fries. I would eat fries every day if they tasted like these lol! They had a lot of indoor seating plus several tables outside. It was a nice day, so we enjoyed sitting outside. We all loved our lunch and I will most definitely go back when I am in Baltimore again.

    Sliced Gyro Wrap, Roasted Vegetables
    Thembi S.

    This isn't my usual Samos, the one at McHenry Row is more convenient to where I live. However, yesterday I was in Canton for an appointment and decided to grab dinner at this particular Samos. I went with my usual, the gyro pita and mixed veggies (I would have gotten a drink but they didn't have any birch beer on tap, poo!). I'd just sat down when the food was brought out to me, which was great b/c I was STARVING! So, idk what the Canton location is doing differently from McHenry Row, but the gyro AND the veggies were seasoned better in Canton. Not sure if it was the tzatziki sauce or if the tomatoes had a little something extra on them, or if a different seasoning is used on the grilled veggies. Either way, the food was on point and I wish I lived closer to Canton.

    Maricia H.

    A little overpriced for what you get. Also, the outside of the meat is flavored, but it doesn't get into the meat. Lastly, the inside of the meat was cold while the outside was warm. They need some kind of sauce or spread for the salvaki.

    Samos sells pork so it is NOT halal?

    I believe that's correct. They're a Greek restaurant...so they wouldn't seek to meet that requirement...

The calamari was perfectly breaded and crispy. The hummus had a great blend of garlic, parsley, a bit of cayenne and red chili flakes with lemon and paprika. All these ingredients make a plain hummus extra tasty. Our two main entrees consisted of the broiled Atlantic salmon with asparagus and Greek potatoes and the Yero plate containing rotisserie beef and lamb slices serviced over pita, with tzatziki, and salad. The salmon was impressively at the perfect temperature. I thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal. The Yero plate had the best slices of beef and lamb. They were soft and absolutely well prepared. Our dinner was accompanied with two musicians who played lovely traditional Greek songs. The music was not too loud and we were able to have a nice conversation at our table. Service was a tad slow towards the end of our meal. We were seated in the basement and there was a time when not a single server was on the floor. Water service was lacking and odd -- we waited quite some time for a refill and when someone did come, only one of us got the refill when we both needed water! Still, I loved the food and atmosphere. Parking: Plenty in the back of the restaurant.

    Overall, we were disappointed with our experience…read more Pros: The restaurant jtself is nice--the location is convenient, the open air dining was lovely, and there was ample parking. Cons: The service was not great. They have lots of staff--someone to light the candles, someone to bring the water, someone to take our order, someone to bring out the appetizer, someone to bring out drinks, someone to bring out entrees, etc. But there was very little follow up along the way. Our waters never got filled again. Our server took our drink order right away, but took a long time to come back to take our food order. Despite that, we still got our drinks well after the appetizer came out. The next time we saw the server was when we were done eating. The food should have been better for the price as well. We shared the grilled halloumi cheese appetizer. The cheese was cold by the time it got to us, and the plate came with two small olives--just two. At that point, don't bother. I had the bronzini, which had a good flavor, but was mostly skin. There was very little fish attached to two filets. My wife had the scallops. The entree came with five or six (can't remember exactly) medium-sized scallops. My wife described them as "forgettable," with very little thought to presentation (some of the scallops were laying on their side on the plate. The asparagus was overcooked. Unfortunately we both left still kind of hungry, and definitely put off.

The service was very good, waiter was very attentive, replenished waters often and made good suggestions. Although we liked the restaurant, we felt that as a Greek restaurant there should be more Greek styled pork, chicken dishes. We also felt that some items were overpriced, specialty dish was $75, rib eye was $68, lamb shank was $55, roasted chicken was $39, etc. We will not return for another dinner, but might consider going for lunch to get gyros and Saganaki.
