I love Soundwaves. It's in a quieter part of old Side and well worth making the effort to find it. The food and atmosphere are great. More

Great location, shame about the owners attitude, we had the misfortune to be sitting just behind them, with 2. Of their friends and we had to listen to they arrogant rant regarding tourists only going down one street, never venturing past the main restaurants, how they had the best of everything, etc etc etc, we had to ask them if...

We eat really well in Side and enjoyed trying different restaurants, this however was probably our least favourite. The setting was nice and had a couple of tables overlooking the sea. The staff seem great, the problem was the food, it was quite bland with not much flavour. Price was Ok but as mentioned I would try somewhere else. More

Side is full of overpriced and bland cafes and you can't walk anywhere without someone trying to pull you into one. Soundwaves offers the usual range of tourist standards and a few Turkish dishes of reasonable quality and at not outrageous prices. Not a great recommendation, but SIde sadly doesn't have much on offer. More

Soundwaves has some really fresh sea food, they make it to suit various palates. Try the sea breem grilled and the prawns with butter and garlic or the salmon steaks. Guests staying at Beach House get a discount. :) More

If you like your steaks then this is a great restaurant. Menu not huge which is great as you won't spend all night deciding what to eat. Value for money was better than the restaurants in the middle of Side or on the harbour side and the food was great. Well worth a visit. More

No complaints here. Food is always well prepared and well served. What is it with the locals. They all seem to have the hump these days. View of beach has been ruined by fun fair and an enormus jetty/pier at new hotel on otherwise unspoilt beach. I thought this was National Trust land and could not be touched to help... More
