Karellas Cafe
426 S Newkirk St, Baltimore, MD
Crema's Take
“Nestled in Baltimore's Greektown, Karellas Cafe is a refreshingly unpretentious spot where a focused menu of pristine Greek ingredients—think grilled octopus and vibrant salads—takes center stage alongside expertly pulled espresso and traditional Greek coffee. The intimate, adorable space has earned devotion from serious food lovers who compare it favorably to legendary Greek restaurants in Queens, and the consistently warm service matches the genuine, lowkey vibe that makes you want to linger.”

Some of the best Greek I’ve ever had! Everything was so fresh.
We love this place! The menu is not extensive but what they serve is the best! Ever so fresh salad! All fresh ingredients! Grilled octopus is to die for! Just so you know I’ve eaten at Greek restaurants in New York, Philadelphia, St. Augustine and Romania! I can compare with knowledge! This is definitely a 5 start visit!
This Restaurant by far the best Greek food we've ever eaten,we'll from ny good old Greek neighborhood from Astoria Queens,which have their share of great Greek restaurants,but I have to say Karella's has it beat,here in baltimore!The cheese balls were nice and gooey cheese goodness.The pork and chicken souvlaki,pilaf rice greek salad perfect!Fabulous, but the grilled octopus was amazing took the lead, We indulged lastly with a very fine cup of Greek coffee,nicely made. Took home an order of cheese balls..had to. And also couldn't leave without having one of karella's desert rice pudding,which is also home made and it was very nice. This will be our go to place!Don't let this place pass you by,highly,highly recommended. And shout out to Nick our very courteous server,And Dad for being a great chef!See you soon. Thank you!One Great experience.👍10
