Chicken Nachos in Side — Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

Chicken Nachos at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town is our Mexican-style sharing plate — a hot, loaded nacho dish built around chicken and made to order from fresh ingredients each day. It's one of the easiest, most social starters on our menu, perfect for the table while you decide on mains.

What Chicken Nachos are at Hawaii

Nachos are the plate everyone reaches for at once — the one that hits the table and starts the meal properly. At Hawaii Restaurant & Bar, our Chicken Nachos sit in the Mexican corner of the menu, and they're built for sharing. Think a warm, loaded plate topped with chicken, the kind of thing a group demolishes before the mains even arrive.

We keep it honest: this is a straightforward, generous Mexican starter, not a fussy reinvention. We've been cooking in Side old town since 2000, and part of that longevity is doing simple crowd-pleasers well with fresh ingredients prepped daily. If you want the full spread, Chicken Nachos are the natural opener to a wider Mexican meal in Side.

How we serve them

Our Chicken Nachos come out to share — a single loaded plate meant for the middle of the table, not a plated single portion. The idea is grab-and-go around the group: reach in, load up, pass the plate. It's the sort of starter that keeps everyone talking while the grill fires up your mains.

Because we can't second-guess your table, the honest move is this: if you have a specific question about how a dish comes plated on the night, just ask your server or message us on WhatsApp at +90 533 930 12 83 before you arrive. For today's exact make-up and pricing, the live menu at /menu/ is always current.

Who they're for and when to order them

Chicken Nachos are a group dish, plain and simple. They're the right call when you've walked in with friends or family and want something to land fast while you scan the menu. Order them:

• As a shared starter — one plate for two to four people to pick at before mains.
• For the table with drinks — they pair naturally with a round at the bar, especially during Happy Hour, daily 19:00–20:00.
• On a big-group night — nachos scale beautifully across a long table. If you're a crowd, see our notes on eating well as a big group in Side.
• Late — the kitchen runs into the small hours, so nachos work as easy late-night food too. We're open until 02:00.

They're also an easy win for families — a shareable plate the kids will happily raid, in a restaurant that keeps a kids' menu and alcohol-free kids' cocktails on hand.

What to drink with them

Nachos and a cold beer are a classic for a reason. A cold Efes or a Corona is the obvious, easy pairing — crisp, refreshing, cuts right through a loaded plate. If you're leaning into the fun of it, our signature Blue Hawaii or a frozen daiquiri turns the table into a proper night out.

Prefer wine? A glass of Kavaklıdere Yakut (red) or Çankaya (white) works alongside the sharing plates. For something quintessentially Turkish, there's always rakı. Kids get their own alcohol-free cocktails, so no one's left out. Browse the full bar on our cocktail bar guide, and there's more on the fun stuff over at our Blue Hawaii signature.

How Chicken Nachos fit the wider menu

Nachos are just the doorway. Hawaii is an international kitchen — a real wood fire and charcoal grill, thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizzas, plus Mexican, Turkish and more under one roof. Start with nachos, then swing to a sizzling fajita night if you want to stay Mexican, or branch out to a thin-crust 33cm pizza or something off the wood fire and charcoal grill. If you're weighing options, our where to eat in Side guide lays out the full picture.
