So awesome!! Only heads ups I would say-its BYOB, no reservations & no credit cards. Cash only. So Sat could be an hr wait. It's worth it tho! EVERYTHING is amazing and must top it off with rice pudding for dessert! Sits in middle of a neighborhood in the middle of Greektown! It's real deal!

My latest trip to Samos was once again nothing less than perfect! I usually go for the same dish but I switched up and tried some seafood and it was fantastic. These guys know how to run a restaurant and you won't be dissapointed with anything on the menu. Just bring your own bottle of wine and get there early... More

Family owned and ran. Walk in and see all food prep, very clean, fanastic Mediterranean food, simple delicious, and great prices.Warning, carry out is limited to when they have smaller crowds. If the phone is ringing busy repeatedly they probably aren't serving carry out so don't waste the gas driving there unless you want to wait for a table. Small... More

Very authentic Greek food and atmosphere! The food is delicious and the place is usually packed with people to talk with. You can't go wrong with anything, but especially not with the avgolemono. Recommended.

This place is not fancy, but the food more than makes up for it. We were there on a Friday for lunch. It was crowded! We were seated, and then began one of the best meals we ever had! My husband had the combination platter and the Greek salad. I had the chicken souvlaki pita and the chick pea and... More

I always go for the chicken souvlaki and the gyro, they are the best in the city. The avgolemono is good too(lemon and chicken soup). Its always busy and crowded but we eat here weekly and the sometimes 10 minute wait for a seat is worth it.

We lucked into this little gem and were rewarded with a fabulous dinner!! The atmosphere is very casual, and we ended up having conversations with the people at nearby tables. The food, which is Greek/Italian, was so delicious it left us talking about it for days. We both had the Souvlaki platter. I can honestly say it was the best... More

The food is fresh and authentic. The expanded restaurant is light and comfortable but you still have to wait to get a table, particularly if there are more than 2 in your party. The food is worth the wait. Everything is terrific.

nice find, easy access off I-95 during a road trip. Long wait but the food was worth it. service was not the best -- waitress didn't bring certain (easy) dishes first as requested and one order was misunderstood. Disconcerting to see people seated 20-30 minutes after us getting their food quite a bit earlier than us (locals maybe? regulars?). we'll... More

Three of us visited Samos for the first time on Saturday at about 4. We had a 5 minute wait for a table. The appetizers came quickly and were just amazing - vegetarian dolmades (stuffed grapeleaves), spinach pie, and the sampler trio of spreads (eggplant, olive, and tzatziki). Then we each tried a gyro - shrimp or lamb. We could... More
