Beef Steak in Side — 200g Charcoal-Grilled at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

The beef steak at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a 200g cut cooked over our real wood fire and charcoal grill, served with vegetables and potatoes. It's a straightforward, well-grilled steak from our Steaks & Internationals menu — no fuss, just fresh ingredients and open flame in the heart of Side old town.

What the beef steak is at Hawaii

This is our classic beef steak: a 200g cut brought to the grill and cooked to order over wood fire and charcoal. It comes plated with vegetables and potatoes, so you get a complete, balanced meal on one plate rather than a lone piece of meat with sides to chase down separately.

We keep it honest. There's no elaborate sauce theatre or tableside flambé here — this is the steak you order when you want good beef, cooked properly over real charcoal, without a long ingredient list getting in the way. If you're after something dressed up with a cream or pepper reduction, that's a different plate; this one lets the grill and the beef do the talking.

How Hawaii serves it

Everything starts at the fire. Hawaii Restaurant & Bar has been grilling over a genuine wood fire and charcoal grill in Side since 2000, and the beef steak is a product of exactly that. The charcoal gives the outside its char and that unmistakable smoky edge, while the 200g portion is sized to cook evenly and stay tender through the middle.

It arrives with vegetables and potatoes on the plate — the kind of grounded, satisfying pairing that suits a real grilled steak. Because it's cooked to order, tell your server how you'd like it done; if you're unsure where you sit between rare and well done, our steak cooking levels explained guide walks through what each stage actually tastes and feels like.

Who it's for and when to order it

This is the steak for the person who wants meat done right without overthinking it. It's a great pick after a long beach day in Side, on a night when you're properly hungry, or when someone at the table just wants "a good steak" while others explore pizza or Turkish plates. The 200g portion is generous but not overwhelming, which makes it an easy main for a relaxed dinner rather than a marathon.

It also plays nicely in a mixed group. One person can have the beef steak while others order from across our steakhouse in Side range or the wider menu, so nobody's compromising. Families, couples and hungry travellers all find a home for it — and since we're open daily from 10:00 to 02:00, it works just as well for an early dinner as it does for a late-night meal in Side.

What to drink with it

A charcoal-grilled steak wants something with a bit of backbone next to it. From our bar, a glass of Kavaklıdere Yakut — a Turkish red — is a natural match for grilled beef, and if you'd like to explore what else is on the list, our Turkish wine guide points you in the right direction. Prefer white? Çankaya is the crisp counterpart.

If beer is more your thing, a cold Efes or a Corona cuts through the char beautifully. Feeling like something with more of a holiday flourish? Our signature Blue Hawaii or a frozen daiquiri from the bar turns dinner into an occasion — and if you're dining with kids, they've got their own alcohol-free cocktails so everyone gets a proper drink. Time it with our daily happy hour from 19:00 to 20:00 and the whole table wins.

How it fits the wider menu

The beef steak is one line in a broad Steaks & Internationals section, so it's easy to build a full evening around it. Start with something from our starters and meze, and if the table can't agree on one steak, our best steak in Side rundown helps everyone find their cut. Prefer to go bigger? The mixed grill brings several grilled favourites together on one platter.

And of course, the grill is only half of Hawaii — the same kitchen turns out thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizzas and international dishes daily, so a steak lover and a pizza fan can happily share a table. Everything comes off the same commitment to fresh ingredients and that wood fire and charcoal grill.
