Ikaros - Baltimore

No cakes can describe both how delicious and amazing and warm the service was. I found ikaros online as a place to go to my birthday and thabk got I did. I am from miami, where there are excellent Greek places and I had the pleasure of eating Greek food in Greece itself. I said patricia, our hostess who had the hands down, this mother and pop Greek place in baltimore had the best Greek eating outside Greece itself. that is not hyperbolic or exaggerated. we ordered many different mezes; filled grape leaves (dolmas) with a kind of bear sauce that has appeared above. the taramosalata was exquisite, one must. Our otopus was so delicate that it was practically buttery and full of taste. this plus her auberginensalat, sardinen in olive oil and pasticcio, which I had to go was absolute top chef quality eating. I said patricia, please, to convey to the chief, only our meal was exceptional. if all this was not enough when I arrived at learning to eat on my birthday, patricia surprised me secretly with a mini baklava cape with a candle and she sang together with others “happy birthday ”. This restaurant and his coworkers took me essentially as one of their own for a day, my birthday, and made me and my mother feel like family. I will never forget that this is not her warmth and generousness, and I mentioned the INCREDIBLE life!? I could go on, and I can only if I visit again only for the food and the attention and warmth of patricia, the chef and the staff of ikaros. I can proudly say that this Greek place in baltimore is one of the best places among the many I have been around the world, and ikaros can make his own to any restaurant, Greek and different. Many thanks once again patricia for such a wonderful birthday dinner!

What can they ask for? the nice owner was in the restaurant and made sure we had a great meal. more attentive waiter (careful. wonderful variety of foods, what our group needs, due to different food restrictions. by far the greatest, best prizes and the most delicious crab cake I had in my life. marvellous mousakka. grilled otopus! two large filets with the salmon bowl. excellent Greek white wine. wonderful desserts. and everything at a very reasonable price. we drove from northern virginia, just to go to this restaurant, and it was worth the trip. I can't expect to be back when I'm in this part of the country.

Had a great experience here. The spanakopita was slightly oily but perfectly crispy/flaky with a great fresh filling. The lamb kabobs were juicy, flavorful, with a lemon sauce that wasn’t too heavy over the potatoes, and string beans cooked with tomatoes that were very tasty without being soggy. There was a bit of excess oil on the plate but very forgivable. The server Maria was very kind and friendly, gave great recommendations, and even provided me with complimentary baklava when I found out I had to leave early for a meeting. Will be coming again!

Excellent food in a very good restaurant atmosphere

Not just the best authentic Greek Restaurant in Baltimore, but the best crab cakes in Maryland. It's been our family GO TO restaurant for 50 years. Zinos and Ted make you feel like you're eating on the Plaka.
