Located in the part of Baltimore affectionately called “Greektown”, Ikaros Restaurant has served exceptional Greek fare from the same location and under the same management and head chef since 1969 Ikaros is a family-run restaurant serving hearty portions of classic Greek cuisine in an atmosphere that is family-oriented, relaxing and down-to-earth. We have been going to Ikaros for years, and the kitchen consistently turns out tasty meals.
On a recent visit, we started off with Taramasalad (a mixture of mashed potatoes, fish roe and olive oil) and the traditional spinach and feta pie. Both were perfect renditions of the classic dishes. For an entrée, I picked the Hellenic Surf-and-Turf. This dish really should be called Surf-and-Surf-and-Turf because it included a generous portion of tender fried squid, a crab cake full of large lumps of crabmeat, and 2 perfectly cooked small lamb chops. This delicious dish was an amazing value.
When you go to Ikaros, be sure to look at the pictures and paintings. Most of them were done by the multi-talented Xanos Kohilas, one of the owners of Ikaros. The restaurant is located at 805 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21224. They are open from 11:00 am until 10:00 pm daily, but closed on Tuesdays.
Ikaros exemplifies what the locals like best about Baltimore restaurants – nothing flashy, just great food at reasonable prices.
