Shrimps Casserole in Side — Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

The Shrimps Casserole at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a Sea Foods dish of shrimps cooked with vegetables and garlic, finished with cheese melted on top and served with fresh vegetables and potato. It's a warm, hearty seafood plate made fresh daily in Side old town.

What the Shrimps Casserole is at Hawaii

This is one of our Sea Foods dishes, and it's exactly what a casserole should be: shrimps cooked together with vegetables and garlic, then topped with cheese so it comes to the table hot and comforting. It arrives with fresh vegetables and potato on the side, so you get the seafood, the garlicky base and a proper plate of food in one order.

There's no cream sauce theatre here and no long list of secret ingredients. The appeal is honest: sweet shrimps, softened vegetables, the round warmth of garlic, and a cheese layer on top that pulls it all together. Like everything at Hawaii, it's built from fresh ingredients we bring in daily, and it's cooked to order rather than sitting under a lamp.

How we serve it

We keep it straightforward and generous. The shrimps and vegetables are cooked with garlic, the cheese goes on top, and the plate lands with fresh vegetables and potato alongside. That means you can eat it as a complete meal without needing to build a whole order around it, though it also plays nicely as part of a longer table.

Because it's a casserole with cheese on top, it's best enjoyed while it's still hot and the cheese is at its most tempting, so we send it out promptly. If you're dining in our Side old town garden or catching a match on the sport screens, it holds up well as something warm and satisfying to work through at your own pace.

Who it's for and when to order it

Order the Shrimps Casserole if you love seafood but want something warm and filling rather than a cold plate or a light starter. It suits cooler evenings, a hungry appetite, and anyone who wants their shrimps with a bit of substance around them thanks to the vegetables and potato.

It's a good pick for a relaxed dinner, a solo main, or one of several dishes shared across a group table. If you're deciding between the cold and hot ends of our seafood range, this sits firmly on the warm, comforting side. Prefer something off the grill instead? Take a look at our grilled prawns and shrimp and the wider seafood in Side guide before you commit.

What to drink with it

Garlic, cheese and shrimps love a cold, clean drink. A frosty Efes or Corona is the easy call and cuts nicely through the richness of the cheese. If you're a wine drinker, a chilled glass of Kavaklıdere Çankaya white keeps things fresh, while Yakut works if you'd rather stay with red across the table.

Want to lean into the setting? Order a Blue Hawaii or one of our frozen daiquiris for something fun and cold, or go traditional with rakı if you're making a proper seafood evening of it. Kids at the table can have an alcohol-free kids cocktail. Land here between 19:00 and 20:00 and our daily Happy Hour makes that first round easy.

How it fits the wider menu

The Shrimps Casserole is one route into our seafood; there's plenty more around it. Explore our calamari, or if you're feeding two, the mixed sea plate for two is a generous shared option. To start, our starters and meze set the table off well, and you'll find the full picture in our guide to eating in Side. Beyond the sea, Hawaii runs a real wood fire and charcoal grill plus thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizzas, so a mixed table of seafood, grill and pizza is entirely normal here.
