Creta Restaurant in Thanet

Once again another superb meal at the Creta when we visited on Wednesday night (7pm - We’d 6 Nov) with our local friends Frank & Kathy., who recommended it. This our 2nd meal there was just as good as the first, lovely atmosphere and staff with delicious food and drink. Thanks

I love this restaurant. The staff are always friendly and efficient. The food is lovely and good value for money. Been here many times and never disappointed.

Such a lovely traditional Grecian food - Daisy was so lovely serving us nothing was too much. Great they’ve got lots of options for the kids menu and loads of vegan options. The beef stifado was as delicious here as it would be in Greece itself and the vegetable souvlaki was divine a mix of peppers, courgette, beetroot, aubergine, tomatoes and mushrooms! Highly recommended!

Fantastic food, atmosphere and staff. The extended premises are perfect for family gatherings. A real gem on the High Street serving authentic Cretan food. Para poli orea!!!

We had a really tasty meal at Creta Restaurant. The food and the service were excellent. Shayla looked after us from the moment we arrived. Will go again.

Vasil & Eva provide Greek hospitality as well as lovely food reasonably priced. I went with my friend who is wheelchair bound & they made us most welcome. Although not living in the Kent area will definitely return next time we’re in Broadstairs.

The food was really lovely. It’s not the best decorated inside more like a cafe but the creamed potatoes and the lamb kebab was really good.

I was invited down to Broadstairs by a Greek friend, she told me it worth the 3 hour journey from Cambridge :) and it absolutely did ! The ambience, the friendliness, the authenticity, everything 5 star ! We even had to go back at the end of the evening for even more treated local drinks.. They are now expanding to next door due to high demand .. There is a challenge though. The meat or the fish deal ?:)

Really tasty food - especially the selection of starters. The lunch menu is good value. Service is good and staff friendly. We had a great time and would go again.

Just had our second meal here. Don't often review restaurants but this is so good. Brilliant Greek food -better than eating in Greece. Staff polite and helpful, food delicious and excellent value for money. If we are on holiday in this area again this restaurant will be our first call.

Great food. A place to return to. Friendly staff, prompt service. The dips are a great starter but beware you will feel full at the end of the meal.

My son and I popped in for lunch, the food was delicious, hot and authentic. Brilliant little restaurant. Would highly recommend 👌

Came across this little gem by accident, was walking past and saw the food their customers were eating outside as it was a warm day. It all looked and smelt amazing. We couldn’t resist. The food we had was great, everything was so clean and staff were very pleasant. 5*

There is a difference between Cretan food and just "Greek" food. This place worths a visit even from Scotland, not to say from Greece. 5 star system is certainly not able to embrace the experience:)

If u want a perfect feast in a warm friendly atmosphere then head here!! Wonderful food, wonderful family, wonderful service, absolutely faultless!!

Like being in the Mediterranean. Great food, wonderful service, found out it was our Anniversary and added some personal touches

Greece comes to broadstairs.really authentic tasty food good sized portions reasonably priced good friendly service would thoroughly recomend

You must eat here! The food is so so tasty and the service is amazing, and to top it off, it’s really cheap, which does not affect the quality of food. There was 4 of us eating here today, and we a thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

The food was so nice, great portions and good value for money. Seats could do with a revamp. Cannot wait to go back

The best Greek food outside of Greece we had ever had ! Love this friendly and authentic restaurant! Staff and very modest but helpful and friendly. All our food was delicious and fresh. Could almost feel the Crete sunshine on a wet Dec day !!!

Amazing service and food !!! Will definitely come Back !! Felt like I was in a Greek restaurant on holiday !! Will be back !! 😊

Have just returned after a wonderful authentic Creatin lunch at Creta. The food was perfectly cooked and typically greek. Very tasty and plentiful,atmosphere was warm and friendly was very surprised when it was cold and windy when we walked out the door! Our first visit but won't be our last

My Sister booked us a table tonight at Creta and it was absolutely delicious! I had a pork souvlaki with a little tzatziki and it was just perfect. Marina very much enjoyed her late birthday meal! Special thanks to the lovely girls who served us, amazing food and an amazing atmosphere. Definitely recommend booking before hand as it was quite busy even on a Wednesday night but would 100% recommend.

First time here and it was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious a.d the service were so friendly! Safe to say we will definitely be back again for the family atmosphere and delicious food. Special shout out to Cyianne for looking after us!

Had a fab meal here, ordered the mixed meat meze and there was so much food! Really tasty and full of flavour. Can highly recommend this gem of a restaurant in Broadstairs. I would advise booking though as walk ins were disappointed there was no availability.

Creta restaurant had been recommended to us several times by friends Had lunch there today and was not disappointed very tasty and generous meals and very friendly service Lunch for two with wine came to £35

Me and my Husband came here for our anniversary meal after it came highly recommended by several people. We were very impressed. Our waitress was lovely and well spoken. The food was perfectly cooked and well portioned. The menu has plenty to choose from. The owner came to our table with some shots and free wine to celebrate with us, it was lovely. What topped it off was the bill at the end - for 2 wines, 3 starters and 2 mains it only came to approx £50! Excellent location, service and food. Great atmosphere. We will absolutely be returning again and must recommend Creta to anyone with an appetite for authentic Greek food and excellent service.

When we visit Broadstairs we will always spend an evening at Creta. The meat eaters usually have the meat meze and and veggies now choose a selection of starters hot and cold as the veggie meze was just too much. Great atmosphere and is a highly recommended place to eat. Our family across 3 generations from teens to grandparents just love it.

The service was prompt and personalised with extra options offered. The food was delicious - proper chicken well-cooked and served on a skewer as Souvlaki with a nicely dressed salad. Reasonably priced and a bargain considering the quality.

Dinner at Creta on Wednesday 12th was amazing, busy but great service. Moussaka was amazing just it is in Greece - maybe better! Definitely returning

Fantastic take away. Food perfectly cooked & plentiful. Reasonably priced. Staff very friendly. Couldn’t ask for more.

Lovely Greek food. We enjoyed our meal and the staff were very welcoming. I can recommend this restaurant.

"Grilled bread" is a single slice of ordinary white sliced bread, toasted. It's just toast. One slice. Souvlaki came with no sauces or flatbread. When asked, was offered "ketchup or mayonnaise". Has anyone here actually been to Greece? It says outside "traditional Greek". No.

Had a great Cretan meal here this evening with friendly service. Feta saganaki and meatballs followed by chicken pita gyros and an excellent lamb yiouvetsi! Then baklava with vanilla ice cream and a rakimelo to finish. Excellent throughout. Just back from living in Crete for...

A Fantastic restaurant. They held a birthday meal for me with 25 friends. So accommodating and the food is delicious. One of our favourites in Broadstairs

Amazing!! Best place in thanet to eat in or to be delivered, wonderful thank u we are looking forward to next time, cannot fault anything on the menu

Probably the best Greek takeaway (delivered too!) we’ve ever had ! Restaurant quality food delivered within 40mins. We had beautiful Souvlaki (chicken and lamb) and the Kleftiko was fabulous- as good as I’ve had on holiday in Greece. We will be back, Ya Mas!

Visited with my wife on Valentine’s Day. Excellent waitress and the lamb chops were plentiful and delicious. My favourite restaurant in town.

Lovely service. Grilled squid and dolma to start. Fresh sea bream and Briam, lamb shish for mains. Lamb was bit over cooked for our taste, we'll remember to ask for it bit rarer next time. Other than that food was very good, we'll definitely go...

We dined here on a busy summer evening in August. It was spontaneous and we hadn't booked but the lady at front of house and another waitress were very accomodating and attentive, helping with a high chair for the toddler in our group. Food was...

On recommendation we visited this restaurant for lunch today. It was everything we were told to expect. Family run, good authentic food and excellent service. You won’t be disappointed.

Have been to Creta for a quite few times now. Vasil, the chef and the owner of the restaurant is a very friendly individual. It worth mentioning that’s a family restaurant and I should say they all are very kind people. The food is very...

We visited Broadstairs for my birthday and pre booked this restaurant so wasn’t sure what to expect. Locals said it had an overhaul and was giving rave reviews. Well we were not disappointed. The service was quick and friendly. Abbie was a great and attentive...

Had great hopes from the Greek salad, however the Greek salad was 3/4’s iceberg lettuce and white onion, four smallish bits of feta, minimal peppers and olives. It was £9! The halloumi starter £5.25 was three bits of cheese. I asked for extra bread, it...

Delicious food with a warm and generous service. We came for a family lunch and had the Greek salad, tomato balls, halloumi and chips plus a kids meal. Everything was delicious and the tomato balls were especially tasty. When we’d finished the owner gifted my...

Decided to try this restaurant based on recommendations- absolutely delicious food ! We were two couples and we all loved and finished everything on our plates! Service was great - beautiful food. Such good value too ! Definitely will be back.

We were “walk ins” on a Saturday night and were really pleased that we were able to get a table. Food was amazing. Really friendly staff. Food came out very quick. Delicious tzatziki, yum! Myself and I my other half cleared our plates, it was...

Very friendly service and delicious food. We had the Meze - cold starters, hot starters and choice of main. Wow. So many delicious and varied dishes. Couldn’t possibly have eaten it all. A really lucky find.

Authentic food, and our new favourite for sure - The smell and taste just brings you top restaurant vibes in the comfort of your own home Can’t find one fault. We have ordered twice now through under eats. Everything has flavour and is cooked to...

Fabulous Greek restaurant with proper Greek food, mythos and alfa beer's and very friendly staff the place also is very clean and tidy my girlfriend and I was very impressed :)

Great atmosphere and great variety of food and the best taste! Never disappoints. You won’t walk out hungry ! And offer great delivery service !

Wonderful Cretan food and Cretan wine. We have been there five times in five months. They do great Mezes.

Only a walk away from where we were staying so we came to try it. Had the calamari, lamb stifado, lamb gyros with pitta, seafood pasta and the greek lamb stew. All were delicious and the staff were always attentive. We even got some little...

An unpretentious Greek restaurant with a loyal local following. Good, traditional food, nothing special but perfectly pleasant

We have eaten at Creta five times and always pleased with the quality and size of the meals. The food is competitively priced. The staff at Creta give great service, while not feeling rushed. We recommend the mussels and king prawns for starters, and for...

Creta is a lovely little restaurant around a 15 minute from the seafront. We were a group of 9 and had pre-booked. There were minimal Covid provisions but seeing as this is not enforced anymore it was understandable. The food that we had was amazing,...

Our closest Greek restaurant closed recently so my husband did a search, Creta came up and had good reviews so we thought “let’s give it a go”. So glad we did! Friendly welcome from the start, nice Greek music playing low in the background to...

We had a really fantastic experience at Creta restaurant recently! The food was excellent and the service was very professional and friendly! We had a lovely chat about Greece with our hosts and we highly recommend this fab local restaurant.

We spend about a week in Broadstairs every year and this became one of our go-to places on this year's visit. It's not as close to the seafront as some of our other faves but it was worth the walk! I'm a bit of a...

Spur of the moment. What a great choice too. Amazing Meze. Great value for money. Brilliant, friendly and attentive staff. Will definitely be back.

Been before, and had a great meal, we rushed in just a few minutes before closing fingers crossed that we were in time. No problem at all, we were welcomed as if we were the first customers that evening not the last. Great service. We...

Brought back missed memories Of meals on Greek islands eating Klefitko, Stifado & Moussaka which were well cooked & a full plate

We ate souvlaki, kleftiko and seafood pasta, and highly recommend them all. The starters menu is authentic and very tasty. Can’t recall all of them, I had a bekri meze, there was a roast potatoes dish and a cheese balls dish. The staff were attentive...

Tonight we dined at Creta, this was most definitely one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time - perhaps since we were in Greece. We ordered a selection of dishes from a very good menu and all our meals were excellent, and...

Had a lovely meal in this Greek restaurant. Reasonably priced, no frills just good Greek food. If not very large but just at the top of Broadstairs high street.

Amazing food and fab service. Selection of starters delicious with usual authentic options of mains just as appetising. Highly recommend.

We recently ate at the Creta and were delighted with the quality of food and service. We will return again very soon.

Tasty authentic Greek food, great service and very affordable prices. What isn't there to like? Give it a try the next time you are in Broadstairs.

Weekend away in Broadstairs looking for somewhere to eat .What a find, amazing real home cooked Greek food. Lovely family run restaurant. We loved it that much we took my parents the next day for lunch .

Visited, with 2 friends for lunch. Very flexible booking arrangement. Small, but spotlessly clean and tables socially distanced. Starters, that we had to share were superb with generous portions! A bottle of good quality Pinot Gigiot was £19.50. Not cheap but in comparison to other...

Takeaway. Three mains ( pork, lamb) that we agreed were excellent taverna dinners. Flavoursome as one would find in a Greek tavena. Very generous servings. Pleasant hostess. I enjoy Greek chips like these ones. Only a visitor but look forward to return to Broadstairs and...
