Reviews for Aba in Austin, TX
We have been waiting to try this restaurant for an amazingly long time and it did not disappoint!! We were sat promptly at our... reservation time and the indoor atmosphere is great, a full restaurant and we could still have a conversation perfectly well.Service did take a minute but it was late in the night and as soon as we were greeted the service was impeccable. The food wasmore than we could have hoped for; ordered - (apps) short rib hummus and whipped feta, (entrees) halibut, pork belly, andpork/beef kabobs, wish we got to try the dessert but were incredibly full. Additionally, we were the last table in therestaurant, stayed about 10-15 minutes after closing and did not feel rushed or any annoyance at all. Will most definitely beback! Read more
The restaurant has a very nice ambiance and staff are friendly. Food was delicious and the perfect portion size. The pork belly... with peaches was vey nice. I would recommend eating inside or closer to the tree on the patio, because when the wind blows itsometimes smells like garbage (ruins the mood a little). Overall a very pleasant dinning experience and the price of dishes isreasonable. Read more
This is the spot! It’s in a great area close to shopping and other good Austin staples. The back yard is incredible. Massive... outdoor seating with comfy lounging couches and chairs. Perfect for the hot summer days as there’s loads of shade with thedeck built out underneath the massive trees. We came for cocktails and they were amazing. The food looks good too! Read more
Great place. Make sure you make reservations in advance or get there early to get your name in for outdoor seating. We got there... at 6pm on a Sunday and they were no longer taking walk ins. Luckily the bar is first come first and there was two open seats.Price for flavor and portions are all on par. The hummus was so smooth and not gritty. The lamb kabobs were amazing. Read more
A MUST HAVE! Make reservations in advance, they do take walk ins, but may be a wait if a very busy day! From the... hummus/spreads to the main dish and dessert / cocktails - everything was perfect! Good vegetarian options with deliciousflavors all around. We were so satisfied with our dining experience, it felt like we wanted to never stop eating! Read more
Apologies ahead of time, as I should've taken pics of the main course meal, before we obliterated it...haha. long story short,... this is an absolutely wonderful place to eat at. Great energy, beautiful searing inside, as well as outdoor. The food wasamazing, and the desert was ridiculously good. I will definitely be back, and will take better pics of the food next time. Andalso more pics of the restaurant. Highly recommend. Five stars. Read more
Fabulous tapas, great cocktails, fantastic outdoor and indoor atmosphere. Service is quick, food is delicious. Decor is... imaginative and love how they blend the trees outdoor into the decor. Only downside is the check in process. You leave yourname for a table after standing in line, get paged and then stand in line again to be seated. Seems redundant and I hope theyfind a better method because the place is just a gem. Read more
This is a place we want to go back to. The food is refreshingly unique in that they make Mediterranean food we're used to but... jazzed up. The menu is varied enough where you want to come back and try all the things. I was lucky to get reservations soplan ahead if you can. When we left there were scores of people waiting for a weekday dinner. I have only gone once butrecommend the roasted garlic hummus, fennel salad, lamb shank wrapped in eggplant. I'd pass on the crispy chicken thigh, it wasok. A tad bit dry, seasoning seemed like only salt, but it was crispy! We also got the raw salmon, it was good but nothingunique IMHO. Ambiance is very outdoor patio like with lots of plants, even indoors. Too bad it's mostly plastic but it looksreal if you don't pay attention. Otherwise it looks like most trendy restaurants.
