Little Kalymnos Taverna

Best Known For

Pork pancetta Greek-style ribs with honey glaze.

Named for the mountainous Greek island, Little Kalymnos Taverna on Homer Street brings a slice of the Aegean to Earlwood. The island was once known for its lucrative sea sponge trade and the taverna’s décor is a nod to this history with sponges strewn in netting across the ceiling and a diver’s helmet on display, along with stunning wall imagery of the homeland. On Friday and Saturday nights, the taverna reverberates with live music and Greek dancing as guests tuck into starters of grilled halloumi cheese, olive oil and lemon, or fish parcels, sesame seed and honey. Tender, succulent char-grilled meat such as lamb, pork and chicken demand attention enjoyed souvlaki-style, or devour slow-roasted lamb with lemon potatoes and wild greens. For a sweet finish, try galaktobouriko and ice cream.
