Medusa The Greek

Mil Gustos Hospitality Group welcomed their fourth restaurant, Medusa Greek Taverna in January 2019 with the goal of bring elevated Greek fusion food to their beloved Park Slope neighborhood. “With the opening of Medusa, Constantinou’s heritage, as well as Ali’s, are almost directly reflected in the restaurants they own. Constantinou was born to Costa Rican and Greek immigrants. He grew up eating a unique mix of dishes at home, something he credits for his strong palate. “My dad was a tailor [and] my mom was a housecleaner. My mom worked for a lot of rich families in Long Island, and she learned how to cook, obviously, she grew up and knew how to cook Latin [food], then she knew how to cook American food, then she learned Greek food from my dad. Any day of the week we’d have moussaka, or my mom would make gallo pinto, which was a Costa Rican dish, or we’d have like, chicken pot pie. My friends were, like, ‘What the heck is this?’. I was exposed to all these different foods,” Constantinou said. With a menu featuring traditional Greek dishes like Pastitsio, spanakopita, gyros and more we are dedicated to elevating the status and awareness of Greek cuisine.
