A new Greek spot has made its debut in the neighborhood. The new arrival to Park Slope, called Medusa Greek Taverna, is located at 133 Fifth Ave.
Opened by the team behind Latin American restaurants Miti Miti and Bogota Latin Bistro, Medusa Greek Taverna serves a full menu of authentic Greek small and large plates. Check out the assortment of spreads and meze (Mediterranean-style tapas), such as the taramosalata (fish roe mousse), htipiti (whipped feta with roasted chili), fried calamari, grilled octopus and soutzoukakia — beef and lamb meatballs served in spiced tomato red wine sauce.
For entrees, Medusa Greek Taverna offers grilled dishes featuring lamb, steak and branzino, as well as an assortment of pasta dishes, including pastitsio, or Greek baked ziti. On the drink list, expect a selection of beers, wines and spirits from Greece, in addition to nearly a dozen specialty cocktails.
With a five-star rating out of 20 reviews on Yelp so far, Medusa Greek Taverna is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Rachel G., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Jan. 3, wrote, "Blown away. The food was Greek perfection! You can taste the attention to detail, and the ingredients are so fresh. Epic dishes: zucchini chips, Branzino, Halloumi cheese and the phyllo pastry dessert."
Yelper Esther J. noted, "Overall, five stars for cleanliness, ambience, service and quality of food."
