Small House Küçük Ev Restaurant

We had the loveliest meal on the balcony, we were extremely lucky to book on the day and use to a cancellation we had the best table in the house! Food very traditional and plentiful. Good selection of wine. Professional friendly service that leaves you coming back for more. Have booked a return visit already! Thank you!

From all the options that we have in this region, I believe this small restaurant to be the most home-cooked like. All others, despite having good reviews, looked like they were big serve-it-all restaurants. We had a very tasty lunch: Mediterranean salad, chicken skewers and hommus (that comes with bread that you can repeat)

Lovely little restaurant tucked up a side street in Kalkan. We had the Mediterranean salad, courgette and walnut dip, and a seabass to share.

Popped in initially after reading all the rave reviews. Got to the top of the stairs to be confronted by a small dining area (full!) to my left, and what was clearly the kitchen to my right. A couple who were just paying, offered their view of the place. "Best place in Kalkan by far. If there's just two of you, book the balcony" Managed to get the ear of the waiter (son of owner, as it turned out) and enquired as to when it would be available. Watched apprehensively as he turned the pages, finally finding a free spot on our final evening! Convinced it was meant to be, booked it for 7:00pm and descended the stairs to break the good news to my partner Janet, who was still being badgered by the owner of the restaurant opposite. We suddenly realised that the Small House is probably the only restaurant in the Old Town that doesn't have someone outside trying to drag tourists in, and clearly relies on reputation and word of mouth. Our final evening came all too quickly. We turned up about fifteen minutes early and were welcomed by the owner who ushered us through to be seated at the table on the small balcony. Let's just say two people ideal, four would be a squeeze. Let's also state that the food was brilliant, the service faultless, with the son at one point introducing the cook (his proud mum) to us. Having already had a starter and main, we managed to make room for a complementary dessert. Seemed the only way to finish was to order a Raki each. Check out my photo for the way it was served. Probably a good thing that we hadn't known just what a brilliant aperitif this is, otherwise we'd have spent a small fortune on it during our two weeks in this magical resort. However long your stay here, make the Small House an absolute must visit.

One of our favourite meals on our holiday. Great to see a smaller menu with authentic food. Family business, relaxing atmosphere and fantastic food. We’ll be returning.

Incredible service from a wonderful family run restaurant. We booked way in advance and were not disappointed. Beautiful food (veggie meze for two plus halloumi, prawns and breads), wine and great setting on the balcony table. Thank you so much and hope to visit again.

We’ve gotten the table on their balcony and it was amazing (9pm~11pm) 🫶🏼 we liked our sea breams, and starters were great too. Just please create an online reservation)

Straight on my top 3 restaurants (and I've been to a fair few ;) ). The food was amazing, best grilled halloumi I've ever had, fish fresh and perfectly cooked. Staff was so nice and friendly. Also it's a really small place indeed so only a few tables, we were lucky to go early season so no problem to have a table if you're going later in the summer make sure you book in advance :)

Small house - amazing, delicious, one of a kind place. Home cooked food from the heart. To this day we still talk about small house. (9/2014) Make a reservation, the place is booked two months in. ~ Trip Advisor has over 1000 review for this gem.

Definitely a must when in Kalkan, great honest home cooked food with the friendliest couple you will ever come across! Booking essential as it is a very small restaurant. The aubergine kofte is not to be missed.
