    This was my second visit to Aba. The first time was for a business dinner, and this time, I brought my family. Once again, the food and service were excellent. Three members of our party are gluten intolerant, and our server did an exceptional job pointing out items they could enjoy. The appetizers even came with small sticks indicating whether they contained gluten, which was a thoughtful and helpful detail. The kebabs, hummus, muhammara, scones, and falafels were all outstanding. And definitely save room for the frozen yogurt—it’s probably the best I’ve ever had. Aba is a great choice whether you’re dining with colleagues or family. Highly recommend!

    We love Aba! Aba has great food and a wonderful staff. We have dined at their location in Chicago and Austin. They are both consistent on food and staff. Thanks for a wonderful dinner.

    The food was basically very good. But the dishes were filled with a lot of tomatoes. Basically all tomatoes on each dish. I wish there was more of the food we ordered and less tomotoes. Our server was terrific.

    This is a fantastic venue for a work lunch. The atmosphere is elegant, and the attention to detail is evident in everything, from the ambient candles in the bathroom to the beautifully presented mocktails we enjoyed. I have two minor suggestions for improvement: first, our table for four felt a bit cramped given the size of the plates, and second, while we ordered three dips, we felt that the pita was not replenished as frequently as we would have liked. Overall, however, I would rate the experience a solid 10/10. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning in the future.
