Turkish Cuisine in Side
Real Turkish food on the Manavgat coast — Testi kebab cracked at your table, şiş from the grill, lamb chops, köfte and Ottoman kebab. Eat like a local.
You cannot come to Türkiye and go home without a proper kebab night. But "kebab" is not one dish — it is a whole family of grills, stews and oven pots, and the tourist strips are full of shortcuts.
At Hawaii Restaurant our Turkish section runs fifteen dishes deep: skewers (şiş kebab, chicken & lamb skewers), chops and köfte from the grill, slow casseroles, the showpiece Testi kebab — sealed in a clay pot and cracked open at your table — and house classics like Ottoman kebab and Shepherd's kebab. Start with the guides below and order with confidence.
