Ikaros Restaurant

We had a birthday dinner here for my mother's 75th. Everything was perfect! The food was delicious and atmosphere is so beautiful. The staff took such great care of us. We called ahead and pre ordered with a large party. Things came out exactly as ordered, even a few special surprises. Ikaros Staff - Thank you for making this a wonderful and memorable evening. - Amy

Everyone i know in the area + their mom raves about it. I wanted to like it, but i think a combination of extremely slow service + my table ordering dishes with flavor profiles not to my own taste resulted in me feeling conflicted about the establishment. The dishes are clearly authentic and those who like the things we ordered (spanikopita, warm grape leaves, that flaming cheese!) enjoyed them. These dishes are not ones i personally enjoy so I can't fairly critique them. The lamb kebobs i got were fine. The side of potatoes (recommended!) Were tasty and buttery, and the string beans in red sauce were also a yummy addition. Oh, the free dessert was a lovely and (semi-) unexpected surprise! Definitely save a lil room as it seems like they do this more often than not. My largest "fair" complaint: The single waitress working the ~10% capacity dining room on the September Wednesday we went seemed like she was overwhelmed from the four or so tables she had. Disappeared for long stretches at a time, seemed flustered every time we communicated with her, and had to actually chase her down for the check. To be fair with the dining room so empty it probably doesn't make sense for the business to hire an additional server for these slow nights, but as a former waiter, it makes zero sense to me that someone would find four tables unmanageable. It seems like it is not a new issue either as before we went i was told by others to prepare to wait. To be clear: i "like" this place and would absolutely not discourage others from going - but be prepared for slow service 😊

I have been coming to this restaurant for 60 years. It is my absolute favorite when visiting friends and relatives in Baltimore. Came in for lunch on Saturday and had an excellent meal and excellent service, as always. We all enjoyed our various meals and starters we are so thankful for the experience. Lamb, salads, baked cheese, all excellent. This is the first time we were not served a small plate of complimentary desserts (I wonder if they have stopped this treat), but that does not take from the wonderful experience of eating delicious Greek food. Please try Ikaros. I think you will start making it one of your favorites.

They are closed all July, but they didn't update their hours on Google, so my wife and I drove out to Greektown for nothing. UPDATE: it's been a year and a month since our last attempted visit, and they were open this time. Their portions are generous, and their Greek food is spot on. We had the stuffed peppers and the chicken kabob and needed containers for the leftovers. Also, they gave us a little complimentary dessert, which we appreciated. The ambiance was nice with classical Greek background music.

Wow! What else can you ask for? The kind owner was in the restaurant, making sure we had a great meal. Attentive waiter (George.) Wonderful variety of foods, which is what our group needed, due to various dietary restrictions. By far the biggest, best priced, and most delicious crab cakes I've had in my life. Tremendous mousakka. Grilled octopus! Two large filets with the salmon dish. Outstanding Greek white wine. Wonderful desserts. And all at a very very reasonable price. We drove from Northern Virginia, just to go to this restaurant, and it was well worth the trip. Can't wait to be back, the next time I'm in this part of the country.
