Love the menu here; so many things to try! The drink choices are pretty great too. The place is bright and lively with lots of decor and fun music playing. Been here a few times and plan to come back. read more

I eat a decent amount of Greek food, but admittedly eat the dishes widely palatable to American palates like saganki, grilled octopus, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita, and souvlaki. These feel like the chicken tikka masala or general tso's of Greek food and I know there's a universe of dishes I've yet to try. But these dishes are delicious and I will keep ordering them. I visited at around 10pm on a Saturday night to find the place about half full, with fun decor and white lights that felt way too bright for the time of night. The lights made it feel like they were catering more to a family friendly crowd than for a nightlife crowd, which I suppose makes some sense for Park Slope. Despite the place sitting half empty, our server didn't show up to fill our glasses or ask for our orders for quite some time, and I saw the manager talking to the staff about something gone awry. Our food also took quite a bit to arrive. The saganaki and octopus and beans dishes were stand outs and executed with aplomb. The shrimp and swordfish skewers and spinach rice were quite plain and I would have gladly skipped these dishes had I known. I didn't have a good sense of portions and I wish the server would have guided us a bit more, as we definitely over ordered. While I won't be back, it was a perfectly serviceable meal for the area. read more

My friend and I came here on a weekday to take advantage of their amazing $15 lunch special. The interior was super colorful and funky with a Medusa theme. The place was spacious and comfy with booth seating. The Lunch Special came with an entree, side, with dip, and fries. I ordered Moussaka, with pita chips and tzatziki sauce. The Pita Chips were perfectly crispy and well seasoned with herbs on top. Moussaka was absolutely delicious, as well as so hearty and filling. The cheese on top had a slight crunch, while the inside was layered with plenty of ground beef, potato, eggplant, zucchini, and béchamel sauce. This was bursting with bold flavor full of a tantalizing blend of spices. All the ingredients worked beautifully together, and the cheese pull was impressive. Fries were delightfully crispy, topped with garlic oil. I would have liked to have feta on top. We also decided to get a dessert to share. We selected the Galaktoboureko, which consisted of creamy semolina custard in phyllo with lemon honey syrup. This was pretty tasty, but was a bit on the sweet side. I think the Loukoumades (Greek baby donuts) with choice of sauce (I would go with Nutella Pistachio) might have been better. Service was solid. Our waiter was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. My friend and I both enjoyed our lovely, affordable meal here. read more

Going Greek twice in one week? Well, okay. When it comes to restaurants, most people go off of if the food is good. That is their right. However, I look at the whole picture, and in this instance, why I am only giving this a three star review despite the four star quality food. Park Slope is a perfect foodie destination. There is a restaurant for just about any palette. It is also home to one of my favorite Greek restaurants in the city, Simply Greek. Please check out my review for that restaurant if you have not. This restaurant is part of a larger restaurant group in the area, one of which also owns Miti Miti. That is a restaurant I do not endorse. This restaurant carries a similar vibe, but it does have tastier food. I will get right to it. The gyro, the spreads, the loukoumades (Greek donuts), are all exceptional. Everything tastes fresh and delicious. The portions are generous and the food does come out relatively quickly, which is good because Greek food should not take long to prepare. The issue is the customer service. The entire staff did not seem interested in me at all, rather I was treated as an annoyance rather than someone they would want to have return. Greek restaurants pride themselves as making customers feel like family. Servers and staff taking the time to talk to you and get to know who you are. They take an interest in why you chose their restaurant over the thousands of others in this city. Here, it was quite cold and aloof. My server (who also was likely a bartender) Caroline, appeared more interested in her paycheck and colleagues than seeing a more satisfied customer. Sure, I might be some southern Brooklyn local from nowhere notable, looking like someone who might have not much skin in the game, but I take restaurants as a fun way to meet people and express myself. Any and all conversations I had with her were stilted and tight. To make it worse, it is not like I went at a busy time! I can understand if I was there during a dinner rush, but I clearly felt I was a fly on the counter rather than a potential patron. That is a shame because yes, everything I ate here is first rate. The clincher for me was that Caroline did not even notice I was leaving after I had finished everything. It was me who made the "last" move. Not trying to suggest anything, but clearly if a server cannot bother to send you off properly with a simple goodbye, it is telling about the overall vibe of this establishment. Not a friendly one, I can suggest. For Greek in Brooklyn, stick with Simply Greek and Meze. You will still get amazing food, but you will also be treated like family. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I just left the restaurant. When we walked in, they said we could sit anywhere, we sat down and proceeded to wait about 10 minutes. No water & no menu. Unfortunately this is the third time that I have had a bad experience with service here. I frequently go to restaurants and bars all over park slope... this one seems to be the worst with service. read more

This is a 3.5 star review for me, but unfortunately we can't do half stars here. Overall, I was satisfied with my meal here, but the food was nothing that was too outstanding. I ordered the chicken souvlaki and it came with a salad, tzatziki and I chose the spinach rice as my side. I felt that the food could be more flavorful and wasn't the normal seasonings I'm used to at Greek restaurants. We also ordered fries to start and those were the highlight as I could tell they were fresh and not frozen - also had a nice seasoning to them. I ordered one of their drinks and it was very tasty and strong. They have a good happy hour deal which I would come back for since it's buy one get one and runs until 7 PM (not common for the neighborhood). The service was a bit slow and the waiter did mess up my friend's drink order, but they were quick to resolve the issue. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it was a bit warm inside since they had the door open to accommodate the outside seating. Otherwise, the restaurant is well decorated and has a cute vibe to it. read more

Solid choice. I tried Medusa The Greek for takeout lunch yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size for the price. I kept things simple and ordered the American Chicken Gyro with Salad. The gyro came packed with fillings and they did not skimp on the amount of chicken strips. They added fresh onions which were delicious. It could have used a little more tzatziki sauce. The salad came with a sprinkling of feta cheese but no olives. Dressing was provided on the side. Overall, I enjoyed the food. Would probably get the large Greek salad next time. I regret not buying some dessert. The desserts look delicious. I'm still remembering the delicious orange infused one I had at the Taverna By The Gyro Project Elite event. Great food gives lasting memories - at least for me. I love Greek and Mediterranean food. read more

I went to this little Greek restaurant a while back with a group. The place is pretty casual and the service was friendly. In terms of food, I preferred the main dishes a good amount more but overall, the food was good quality. To drink, I had a Greek Old Fashioned for $12 with Metaxa, mastiha, and orange bitters. It was a nice variant with a unique slight anise flavor from the mastiha though perhaps it was a slightly bit too sweet due to the metaxa. Someone eventually had a frappe for 6$ I believe which I tried a bit of and it was good as well. The Dip Sampler/Pikilia for $22 was our larger appetizer. This consisted of all 6 spreads sampler (guacamole, tzatziki, spicy feta, smoked eggplant, beet hummus, and taramosalata) with za'atar pita chips, tortilla chips, and crudité. All the dips were served in mason jars which makes sense for the neighborhood and they were a bit different compared to the usual dips as can be seen with some of the selections. I personally prefer a more normal hummus instead but it was still good with the smoked eggplant was my favorite along with the spiced feta (or tirokafteri.) The tzatziki was standard as well as the slightly salty taramosalata with the guacamole being a fun new addition. The za'atar pita were nicely spiced and my preference of the chips while the crudité were standard. Tasty and also a bit different was the Saganaki for $12 with lightly battered kefalograviera cheese topped with Cretan Greek honey and black sesame seeds. I was happy that it wasn't too sweet from the honey as some spots drizzle a bit too much on there and the sesame seeds added a unique crunch. This was also good. The Greek Mac & Cheese for $12 as well with halloumi, feta, and graviera was pretty good. There was a bit of crust to it and it wasn't too salty even with the latter cheeses. This was a bit small but it was tasty overall. Also fine for the same price were the Lamb Empanaditas with ground lamb flavored with olives, raisins, thyme, cumin, and fried wheat with mint tzatziki. The unique filling reminded me a bit of picadillo though less sweet with a bit more spice. I also liked this to an extent though it was maybe a bit oily. Last was the Shaved Brussel Sprout Salad for $14 with radish, carrots, celery, graviera, walnuts, dried cranberries, and honey cider dressing. The dressing and toppings were nice though I found the salad a tad dry but the portion again was decent. My preference as said was the platters. The Greek Lamb Platter for $28 was my favorite of the bunch. There was plenty of tender very tasty slightly rich lamb which went with our side which was the Gigantes or baked beans in tomato sauce. Said beans were bit less sweet than other spots and they were cooked down nicely otherwise. The Lamb & Beef Meatballs (or Keftedes) for $23 were also good. The meat was tender again and the tomato sauce as per before was well flavored. The bit of cheese added a touch of saltiness to it. Our side choice for that dish were the Lemon Potatoes which were standard. The last was the Octopus Platter for $43 with onions, capers, parsley, lemon oil, and oregano. As per other spots, I didn't eat due to my severe cephalopod allergy but the others enjoyed it finding it tender with there being a mix of pieces. I had a tiny bit of the side of Brussels Sprouts which were the lightest of the sides and as per the salad, they were prepared well. For dessert, we had a couple. They had a very nice version of Galaktoboureko for $8 with creamy semolina custard in filo with lemon honey syrup. It was served slightly cool which was different and the syrup wasn't as cloyingly sweet as some other spots which I preferred. I have otherwise liked the custard more from places such as Poseidon but it was quite nice and definitely better than average. Last were the Loukoumades With Nutella and Pistachio for $10 which were good. They weren't as sweet as expected and the donuts were fluffy. This was also good as per most of the dishes. The food here was tasty. I preferred the main dishes heavily over the appetizers and if the latter was as high quality, I would more. Even so, we had a good meal here and there's a couple excellent dishes. Low 4. read more

Came back for round 2 with a couple of friends for an after work dinner. They have happy hour all day during the week! I kept simple with tequila and seltzer but my friends enjoyed their margaritas. The calamari was tasty, hot and fresh. For entree I got the lamb kebabs and they were so tasty and flavorful. I enjoyed their side salad too but the fries needs salt. Service was a little slow to start but picked up and we had a great time. The place is cute and all decked out for pride month. read more

Good casual spot for Mediterranean in the neighborhood. The service is friendly and they're always prompt with the food. I typically go with the salmon or chicken platter and there's always enough for two meals that way. The rice is flavorful, the meats are juicy, and the salad is a nice addition. read more

Loved this spot! The skirt steak souvlaki was definitely my favorite dish perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The décor was super cool with the graffiti vibe, and the bar had a great selection of drinks. It's conveniently located near the Barclays Center, which makes it a perfect pre- or post-event stop. Our waitress was amazing (wish I remembered her name!) and gave excellent recommendations that really made the experience even better. Delicious Greek food, great atmosphere, and wonderful service. I'll definitely be back. read more

Get the octopus! Fresh and perfecty cooked , with briny capers and fresh lemon. You won't be disappointed. We went in on Valentine's Day around 3pm , the place was empty but we were trying to avoid the Love Day crowds and opted for late lunch .We had our pick of seats and chose to sit by the gigantic painting of Medusa. The bartender/hostess was friendly and we had a good time chatting with her. She recommend the Mykonos Mescal Margarita which has pineapple so we got that- one frozen and mine on the rocks. Well balanced and fresh lime flavor. Hubby had the Greek Bowl with meatballs, they were good too. Halfway through our meal the crowd started trickling in, the place was already lively before that because there was great music The ambiance was already one of relaxed, fun and familiar neighborhood dining. We got two more drinks to go . We'll be back for the octopus and more. read more

Chose Medusa for dinner with a longtime friend that's in town. The ambiance was cute. Its a nice space for a small or large group and good for families with children. They have a Monday Happy Hour special and the drinks were so good. Our server was Pauline and she was a sweetheart. She made our drinks so yummy and beautiful. The frozen gradient of the frozen passion margarita and garnish were chefs kiss. It looks just as good as it tasted! My friend got the chicken shawarma platter with the lemony potatoes. We shared the crispy zucchini and it was seasoned just right. We had a great time at Medusa the Greek and our lovely conversation and interaction with Pauline made it even better. Because of her excellent service and the restaurants tasty food both me and my friend agreed we'd recommend this spot to family and friends. The portion size for the platter was hefty and good for sharing or for yummy leftovers! Check out Medusa the Greek the next time you're in Park Slope. Say hi to Pauline and remember to have fun, enjoy your food and tip your server! The restaurant group that owns Bogota and Miti Miti own this spot as well if that means anything to anyone. read more

If you like a strong theme and great Greek food, Medusa the Greek is a great place to check out. They have a really wide selection of all traditional Greek fare with some really unique options that add fig and other non-traditional flavors to the pretty standard Greek options you would typically find elsewhere. Service was friendly and we got our food, a bunch of small plates (the lamb empanadas were a highlight) very quickly. The theme and decor in the restaurant is really chaotic but in a cohesive way that makes you feel like the owners are displaying their own collection of stuff that they like which is really fun. Overall I would definitely like to come back and try some of their more outlandish offerings read more

My new go-to Greek restaurant! So happy I found this place with amazing food, great vibes, and impeccable service. I brought my grandfather who doesn't speak fluent English for his first taste of Greek food & the staff was welcoming, patient as we navigated what he would enjoy eating, and attentive always checking in on us. The food was flavorful and has had my family asking about when we'll return.

I'm already dreaming of my next visit, I highly recommend! read more

Stopped into Medusa the Greek after flying into NYC and getting to Brooklyn late. We had salads to start and then shared 2 falafel dishes. They were delicious and it was nice to get a real dinner so late rather than fast food. Their menu had so many options. They have a lovely patio for people watching. The service was also very quick. Definitely would stop in if you're looking for something yummy, not too heavy, and open late read more

A favorite lunch spot in Park Slope. This is one of those moments where you need to tell the world that you found a quiet spot with delicious food, not common in New York, and at the same time, don't want to tell because you finally found that perfect lunch spot and don't want it spoiled. I come fairly regularly and have tried all of the lunch specials and the choice of sides all of them are good, but the meatballs and pita chips are exceptional. The build your own bowl is also really good with a range of options of freshly made seasoned with care and flavor. The service team is also very good and hit that sweet spot between not hovering and trying to move you along, but always attentive and waiting. Should you need refills on drinks sides or any other requests. read more

Stopped by this restaurant to catch up with some friends. The restaurant wasn't busy on walk in and we didn't need a reservation. We came for the all day happy hour and the tasty apps. We shared a few items. The spicy feta, the guacamole, the zucchini chips (extra crispy), a meatball platter with fries, and I got a maroulli salad for myself. To drink I got the mezcal marg and a frose topped with sangria. This is my second time coming here and each time I got really good service. The restaurant is pretty causal and the music is really good and the perfect volume to chat among friends. As a lover of Greek food don't miss the spicy feta dip or any of the platters, the portions were pretty good to share so I'm sure they'd be filling as a solo meal. The meatballs were delicious, a combo of beef and lamb, covered in a red sauce topped with some cheese. We also ordered an extra order of the pita chips to finish up the feta, they were so delicious. All in all I'll be back for a third time! read more

Saturday out for dinner, special occasion. Gin drink for me, the Miss Purple (Conniption Gin, green charteuse, lime, honey, club soda, rosemary. will add photo) and also on table, Mythos Greek lager and Prosecco Brut. One piece Swordfish for me (a kabob w/onion, peppers, swordfish all in olive oil) -excellent. Three shared plates were the stars of saturday night. Cheese Saganaki which is Battered Kefalograviera with Cretan Greek honey and black sesame seeds, another plate was the mighty Spanokopita, and the meaty grape leaves (Warm Grape Leaves wrapped around rice, beef, veg.) . Everything was superb. No dessert for me, check the menu, they have them, but that cheese was close enough I think. NYC ambiance as per the neighborhood - 5th Avenue Park Slope, great friendly service. Recommended. read more

Amazing food ! The kebab is amazing and the salmon is fresh.

Medusa was quite the kick off to a week of food tours in Brooklyn. I was thoroughly impressed with the food. The flavors were very much there and each item matched quite well. It's also very colorful in terms of the design and ambiance. Lots of reminder to the Greek heritage but also nice and welcoming. The waiters were great and gave us recommendations about the food and how to get the best bang for our buck. They also have nice mojitos in different flavors. Would be back for sure. read more

Rating solely on the takeout I received. The order process was online and it was a fast pick up. The zucchini chips were so good!!!! You get a big side of tzatziki with it and they complemented each other really well. They are a must get. The lamb gyro was alright, some pieces were shredded and other pieces weren't. I'm glad I got the zucchini chips because I felt like there wasn't enough tzatziki on the gyro so I could add more. The gyro platter was huge (salad and fries were added). The salad came with a delicious vinaigrette. I would like to eat at here some time because the ambiance was very beautiful. read more

I haven't ate at a restaurant in a while where each dish was perfect from start to finish. Big kudos to the chef. First of all, every staff there are super friendly and knowledgable. It's a very casual dining kind place. We ordered grilled octopus, Halumi, scallops and okra for appetizer. Then for main course, we got their special of the day, baked lamb with vegetable, mussels & shrimps with tomato sauce and moussaka which I don't see that often at other Greek restaurant. Each dish was carefully prepared with the right amount of seasoning. Nothing was overpowering each other or overly salted, everything was well balanced. The texture, the amount of sauce, and flavor was just perfect. We love Greek food and easily this is one of the best Greek food we've had. And their moussaka is one of the best around. If I had to say one negative thing, their frozen espresso martini was slightly weak. It was not strong enough for my taste. However, the table next to us seemed to be enjoying it. LOL. I highly recommend this place and will definitely come back here. Bravo! read more
