Craving Greek Food? Order Crete Island on Deliveroo

Some evenings call for something warm, generous and full of flavour, without the effort of going out. If Greek food is what you are craving, Crete Island Restaurant can bring the taste of the Mediterranean straight to your door through Deliveroo. Whether you are planning a family dinner, a relaxed night in or a get together with friends, a proper Greek meal is only a few taps away. 

A Family Kitchen With Cretan Roots

Crete Island is a family run Greek restaurant inspired by the traditions of Crete. After running a restaurant in Greece, the family moved to the area and transformed an empty site in Wallisdown into a welcoming space, carrying out the work themselves. You can read their full story on the About Us page.

In the kitchen, Eleni and Pandi bring more than 25 years of experience to every dish. They cook with extra virgin olive oil from small farms in Crete, fresh ingredients and simple methods that let the flavours speak for themselves. That honest approach is exactly why the food travels so well.

Why Greek Food Suits Delivery

Greek cooking is built around dishes that hold their warmth and often taste even better after a short rest. Slow cooked bakes, grilled meats and rich sauces stay comforting on the journey, while dips and salads keep their freshness. It is also food made for sharing, which makes it ideal for a table of family or friends.

If you are curious about what sets it apart, our guide to the difference between Greek and Mediterranean food explains how feta, olives, lemon and oregano create its bright, savoury character.

Begin With Meze

A Greek meal traditionally opens with meze, small plates meant to be shared and enjoyed slowly. Tzatziki, made from strained yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and olive oil, is the classic starting point. Pair it with melitzanosalata, a smoky roasted aubergine dip, and warm skordopsomo, Greek garlic bread that is perfect for scooping up every last spoonful.

For something with real Cretan character, try dako, a rustic barley rusk topped with fresh tomato, feta, olive oil and oregano. Golden kolokithokeftedes (courgette fritters) and saganaki, pan seared cheese, are also handmade favourites. Our article on what Greek meze plates are and whether they are worth it is a helpful read before you order.

Hearty Mains to Enjoy at Home

Moussaka is the dish most people associate with Greek comfort food, and Crete Island’s moussaka delivers rich flavour from a traditional recipe. If you prefer something from the grill, Greek classics such as souvlaki, lamb chops and kleftiko are built on simple seasoning and quality ingredients, so check the current Deliveroo menu to see what is available.

The kitchen also serves tender beef slow cooked in tomato sauce with aromatic vegetables and a touch of melted ricotta, along with a creamy rigatoni with chicken, kalamata olives, feta and sun dried tomatoes.

Options for Every Diner

One of the joys of Greek cuisine is how naturally it caters for different tastes. Crete Island’s menu includes options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten free diners, so everyone at the table can find something to enjoy. You can explore the full range on the menu page.

Finish With Something Sweet

No Greek feast feels complete without dessert. Baklava layers paper thin filo with walnuts and pistachios, baked until golden and soaked in a syrup of honey, lemon and cinnamon, while galaktoboureko offers a silkier, creamier finish. Discover more in our guide to the best Greek desserts you must try.
