I would recommend reservations as it can be a long wait for walk ins! We dined here as walk ins one night and were able to snag a spot at the bar. Everything we had was delicious. We ordered the garlic hummus, braised short rib, brussel sprouts, lamb & beef kefta, and the olive oil frozen yogurt for dessert. Everything was good and I felt it was a fair price for the portion. We both agreed that the garlic hummus was exceptional-would absolutely recommend! We will be back to try more of the menu. In addition the restaurant, though busy, maintains a nice atmosphere.
Best spot in town for mediterranean food with top notch service. The food was so fresh and delicious with perfect spice blend and texture. One of the best mediterranean food i have ever had in the states and couldn’t recommend this place more. Their service was excellent just how you’d want (not too slow, not too fast) and they have a ton of space to get you seated both indoor and outdoors with beautiful ambience. Must try restaurant in Austin. The lamb and beef kefta kebab was super good with high quality meat and perfect blend of spices, chilled cucumbers and garlic hummus were also very good. And the sticky date cake was a perfect pick for dessert. They have a very good cocktail menu as well.
Aba is a beautiful restaurant with a modern and quaint vibe. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to sit outside. It was very cozy and the temperature was perfect. It was a great spot to relax and enjoy the evening. The service was very friendly and attentive. We only had drinks and dessert. The menu is somewhat pricey. The frozen yogurt was light and refreshing. The pistachio panna cotta was interesting both the panna cotta and the orange topping were good on their own, but together the combination didn’t quite work for me. Paid parking was difficult to find but this was a lovely spot with great ambiance.
I used to visit Aba in Chicago and it was one of my all-time favorite spots, so I was very excited to try the Austin location. And let me tell you… it did not disappoint! Aba has a great wine selection, excellent cocktails, and the food is absolutely delicious. The ambience is beautiful, modern, and warm perfect for a date night, dinner with friends, or a nice celebration. Reservations are highly recommended (just like in Chicago). But if you have to wait, the patio and bar area are super pleasant, you can relax with a drink and enjoy the vibe while your table gets ready. We ordered a variety of dishes to share and everything was outstanding: • Crispy Short Rib Hummus – a must-order! • Whipped Feta – creamy and so flavorful • Shawarma Spiced Prime Skirt • Lamb & Beef Kefta • Grilled Halloumi We were 3 adults (2 men and 1 woman), and this was the perfect amount of food. We all left happy and satisfied; and again, no room for dessert! Service was friendly and attentive both times I visited. Aba is definitely a must-try in Austin.
I’m pretty sure this is one of the trendier restaurants in Austin, and the interior proves it—beautifully designed with a warm, modern Mediterranean feel that makes you want to linger. The menu has a wide range of spreads and entrées. We kept it light this time with chicken kebab, crispy potatoes, and traditional hummus. Everything was delicious and the hummus with fresh pita was a standout I’d absolutely recommend. As someone who loves Mediterranean cuisine, I’d happily return, especially to try their selection of Eastern European wines.
