Beef Stroganoff in Side: 200 Grams of Comfort at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

Beef stroganoff at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town is a 200 gr beef plate served with vegetables and potatoes, from our Steaks & Internationals menu. The kitchen has been cooking here since 2000, we're open daily 10:00–02:00, and today's price is always on the live menu.

A Russian classic on a Side dinner table

Few beef dishes have travelled as far as stroganoff. It left nineteenth-century Russia, crossed Europe, and picked up a different accent in every kitchen along the way — which is exactly why it sits in the Steaks & Internationals section of our menu here in Side. Guests from Moscow, Manchester and Munich all walk in knowing the name, and each of them knows a slightly different version from home.

So let us be plain about ours. The menu entry reads: 200 gr. served with vegetables and potatoes. That is the promise, and that is the plate — a proper 200-gram portion of beef with vegetables alongside and potatoes to make it a full, filling dinner rather than a polite taster. We have cooked in Side old town since 2000, we prep with fresh ingredients every day, and we would rather describe a dish exactly as it leaves the kitchen than dress it up with a recipe it never claimed.

Who orders it — and when it hits the spot

Stroganoff is the order for the night you want a knife-and-fork dinner rather than another kebab. Maybe you have eaten Turkish food three evenings in a row and your table wants something familiar. Maybe someone in your group simply wants beef, vegetables and potatoes without decoding a grill menu. This is that plate. It is also a quietly good pick for mixed groups: while half the table debates steak cuts and cooking levels, stroganoff needs no briefing.

It suits early evenings and late ones equally well. We are open every day from 10:00 to 02:00, so it works as a proper dinner after a long beach day or as a late meal once the old town finally cools down. Families are welcome too — younger guests have their own kids menu and alcohol-free kids cocktails, so the adults can order the stroganoff while the small ones negotiate their own deal.

What to drink with 200 grams of beef

A beef plate this size deserves a proper drink beside it. If wine is your habit, our Turkish wine guide is a good place to start reading, and the live menu shows the full drinks list with today's prices — so you can decide at the table, not from an out-of-date page.

On holiday and feeling it? The bar side of Hawaii mixes signature cocktails and frozen cocktails, and the kids get their own alcohol-free cocktails so nobody feels left out of the toast. Time your arrival around our daily Happy Hour from 19:00 to 20:00 and the first round gets friendlier.

Where it sits on our menu

Steaks & Internationals is the section we point to when someone asks whether Hawaii is a Turkish restaurant or an international one — the honest answer is both. The heart of the kitchen is a real wood fire and charcoal grill, which is why the same menu carries the steaks we are known for. If your table is split between a familiar international plate and something straight off the grill, have a look at our guides to schnitzel and the mixed grill before you sit down. If one person wants a steak and another wants stroganoff, nobody has to compromise — that is rather the point of us.

Price, booking and getting here

You will notice there is no price on this page. That is deliberate: prices change, and we would rather you see today's numbers than last season's. The live menu always shows current prices for the stroganoff and everything else.
