Aba Austin

Aba Austin made for such a great date night. We got on the list for the main restaurant but after visiting the outdoor bar, directly across the walkway, we decided to post up there. Reason, my wife and I weren’t exactly met with warmth by the three hostesses, but we were eager to try the restaurant and discovered that adjacent to it, the same establishment has an outdoor bar, beautifully decked out in plants and romantic lighting. The drinks were creative and delicious, and every small plate we tried was packed with flavor. The Mediterranean-inspired menu felt fresh, vibrant, and perfect for s

Visiting from SF and came here for a friend's birthday lunch!! We were lucky and got seated immediately outside, which was shaded and still very comfortable, even on a hot day. This place was SPECTACULAR; I'm always a little skeptical of places with a lot of hype, but Aba truly delivered on every expectation. We ordered the whipped feta, brussel sprouts, heirloom chicken thighs, and the pistachio crusted halibut. They were all so delicious!!!! Zero misses. Every dish was bursting with flavor and thoughtfully put together. We reached literal flow state as we alternated taking bites from each di

I recommend making a reservation. A friend and I went on a whim but were lucky enough to get bar seats but we had to wait and watch closely. The drinks were really good, great options and variety. The food was really good. I’m excited to go back for some items I was too full to try this time. We got the salmon kebabs— delish. Idk what they put in that rice but omg that was one of my fave parts of the meal. The crab cakes were really good, the salad garnish was surprisingly good too haha. I will say the potato’s and brussel sprouts were just okay to me.

Aba is the more nearly version of Ema. The dishes and service were exquisite. Came here twice in one week and I don’t regret it at all. The brisket hummus had more meat than hummus. It was amazing, so savory and wonderful. The labneh is sweeter, but a great starter. So fresh and fun. The pork belly was savory and smoky with little beets and a tangy syrup. I loved it and my daughter loved it as well.

Beautiful place to have a romantic meal with that special someone without having to go dressed up to the 9s and 10s. This place serves Mediterranean food and I had the chance to sample two of their main dishes: the heirloom chicken thighs and the lamb and beef kefta skewer. The lamb and beef skewer was tasty, but a little on the dry side which was funny because the outside did not seem too charred. The star of this dish is the basmati rice which was flavourful and had a nice tangy acid surprise from I’m thinking lemon? The chicken thighs are a must get dish. The chicken was crusty even with a
