The ambience is very homey, on Saturday night we had live Middle Eastern music being played very softly in the main dining room. The food and the wine were excellent, and the menu is extensive for all kinds of tastes. This restaurant is highly recommended!

I came across Ikaros online while searching for a place to celebrate my birthday, and I am so thankful that I did. Coming from Miami, where there are many excellent Greek restaurants, and having eaten Greek food in Greece itself, I can confidently say that this family-owned Greek restaurant in Baltimore has the best Greek food outside of Greece. We tried a variety of mezes, including stuffed grape leaves with a delicious sauce, exquisite Taramosalata, tender octopus with incredible flavor, eggplant salad, sardines in olive oil, and pasticcio that was Top Chef quality. Patricia, our hostess, went above and beyond to make our experience special, surprising me with a mini baklava cake with a candle for my birthday and leading the staff in singing "happy birthday." The staff made us feel like family and I will never forget their warmth and generosity, not to mention the incredible food. I will definitely be returning to Ikaros for more amazing food and the exceptional service provided by Patricia, the chef, and the rest of the staff. I can confidently say that this Greek restaurant in Baltimore is one of the best I have visited worldwide and can compete with any restaurant, Greek or otherwise. Thank you again to Patricia for an unforgettable birthday lunch!

The menu had a wonderful variety of foods, which was perfect for our group with different dietary restrictions. The crab cakes were the biggest, best priced, and most delicious I've ever had. The mousakka and grilled octopus were also fantastic. The salmon dish came with two large filets and the Greek white wine was outstanding. The desserts were wonderful as well. All of this was at a very reasonable price. We traveled from Northern Virginia just to eat at this restaurant and it was definitely worth it. I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in this area.

Menu was incredible with a plethora of options for those that are vegetarian or with special dietaryneeds without having to make guests feel comfortable ordering. We dined with a large group. Menu options were descriptive enoughto move the ordering along. most were accommodated without the usual delay associated with a food type outside their comfortzone. Both my wife and i had the lamb items. They were amazing. Many had fish.. all items were well presented and wonderfullyseasoned without being overwhelming. Kids menu was extensive, and high chairs were available. Highly recommend
