Chicken Bombay in Side — Cheese & Salami Chicken Roll at Hawaii Restaurant

Chicken Bombay at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town is a chicken roll from our Chicken Specialities menu, wrapped around a filling of cheese and salami. It's a hearty, comforting plate — served daily from 10:00 to 02:00, with free hotel pickup from selected hotels.

What Chicken Bombay is at Hawaii

Let's be straight about what lands on your table, because "Bombay" means different things at different restaurants. At Hawaii, Chicken Bombay isn't a curry. Our take is a chicken roll: chicken shaped around a filling of cheese and salami, so every slice gives you the savoury bite of cured salami and that soft, melting cheese tucked inside the meat. It sits on our Chicken Specialities list alongside the other chicken plates we build fresh through the day.

If you came expecting the Indian-style dish, this is a friendly heads-up rather than a disappointment — it's a rich, filling roll made for people who want something warm and generous rather than fiery. We use fresh ingredients prepped daily, the same standard that runs across our whole kitchen.

How we serve it

The chicken is filled with cheese and salami and rolled, so the pleasure is in the layers: tender chicken on the outside, a melted, savoury centre. It's the kind of plate that eats well without any fuss — no need to know cuts or grades, just a satisfying chicken dish that does what it promises. Ask your server how it comes plated on the day; sides and accompaniments are shown on our live menu, which is always the accurate, current version.

Who it's for and when to order it

Chicken Bombay is a good pick if you love chicken but want a bit more going on than a plain grilled fillet — the cheese and salami make it feel indulgent without being heavy-handed. It suits a relaxed dinner in Side old town, a family meal where someone at the table isn't in the mood for seafood or steak, or a comforting plate after a long beach day. Because we're open from 10:00 right through to 02:00, it works just as well for a late lunch as for late-night food in Side. If you're weighing up your chicken options, our chicken dishes guide for Side lays out the whole Chicken Specialities section so you can compare before you commit.

What to drink with it

A rich, cheesy chicken roll wants a drink that cuts through and refreshes. A cold Efes or a Corona is the easy, crowd-pleasing match, and if you time it right our daily Happy Hour runs 19:00–20:00. Prefer wine? A glass of Kavaklıdere Yakut stands up nicely to the salami's savoury edge, while Çankaya keeps things lighter and crisper. If you're in a holiday mood, a Blue Hawaii or one of our frozen daiquiris brings a bit of fun to the table, and there are alcohol-free kids' cocktails so younger guests aren't left out. For something local and warming, a measure of rakı never goes amiss over a long, chatty dinner.

How it fits the wider menu

Chicken Bombay is one thread in a much bigger menu. We're an international restaurant in Side with a real wood fire and charcoal grill, thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizzas, and plenty beyond chicken. If you're building a shared table, pair it with something from our starters and meze to open, and maybe a wood-fired pizza for the group to split. Fancy a proper meaty centrepiece another night? Our grill runs from kebabs to steaks — the wood fire and charcoal grill is the heart of the kitchen. And for the group who can never agree, having chicken, pizza, grill and seafood on one menu keeps everyone happy.
