I've been wanting to come to Aba for a while and was really excited to finally try it with friends during Miami Spice. To start, the restaurant is so beautiful! It's a great restaurant for date night or even a special event. We ordered from the Miami Spice menu which was $60/pp. We tried the sweet corn hummus, the crispy short rib hummus, and the Muhammad's which were all so delicious. From the cold and hot mezzes we ordered the chilled cucumbers and the Greek village salad and for the entrees we had the grilled chicken kebab and the bone-in short rib and lastly for dessert I had the sticky date cake, it was so good! Our serve was so sweet and friendly. The entire experience at Aba was amazing. I highly recommend it and plan to return again soon.

We came here for Miami Spice and it was a vibe as soon as you walked in! It's so cute inside with the fake trees, it made you feel like you were outside but with AC. The restaurant was aesthetically pleasing! We did the Miami spice brunch and got the peach biscuits (super yummy and not too sweet), it was crunchy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. We started with the sweet corn hummus and it was delicious! I got the vegetable Frittata (it was good but nothing special) My friends got the short rib shakshouka dish and they said it was delicious. We also got cocktails to go with our meals. I got the frozen passion fruit margarita and it was so delicious!! All the drinks were yummy! Our server was amazing! She was also the bartender as well. We ended our meal with their infamous dessert bougatsa! You have to get it even if you are full! 10/10 recommend and will definitely return!

Was shopping at Bal Harbour shops and came across this gem. When you enter it's like a hidden oasis that opens up. The ambiance is very chic. It's Mediterranean style restaurant with a California influence and shared family styled portions.We did Miami spice which was a great deal. It came with 4 options a spread, a cold/ hot mezze, an entree and dessert. We got the hummus spreads which were super flavorful! The smokey garlic one was my favorite. The salmon kabob was amazing and packed with flavor. It was cooked very well and had a nice crust while not being over cooked. The service was wonderful. Gabriel and Derek were very attentive, quick, and did not miss when it came to their great recommendations. Adam the manager was very caring made sure our experience was the best. Will definitely come back soon for more.

I recently discovered Aba Miami in Bal Harbour, and it's quickly become an obsession.Whether you're looking to treat yourself after a shopping spree, plan a romantic date night, or gather with a group of friends, Aba is the perfect spot for literally every occasion. First off, the restaurant is absolutely stunning. The Mediterranean-inspired decor creates an intimate and inviting ambiance that makes every visit feel special. Having dined here three times, I can confidently say the service is consistently top-notch. The staff is attentive, charming, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu.Now, let's talk about the food--the true star of the experience. Every dish I've tried has been outstanding, but the appetizers wow me every time. The muhammara is a MUST-TRY it's easily one of the best I've ever had. Their lunch specials, like the falafel sandwich, are also great option. And don't even get me started on the desserts--they're nothing short of showstopping.

ABA @ Bal Harbour will be your magic carpet ride to this Mediterranean-Cali loft gem Set in the glamorous Bay Harbour Shops, ABA enchantsthe atmosphere with its modern chic Middle Eastern decoration that suits you in the environment. All details are perfectly crafted to transmit that Arabian mood, as well as a Cali relaxed mood The right blend to set up the tray for its menu offering. Start the gastronomic adventure by ordering their classic HUMMUS served with their house bread or cruites (a garlic toasted thin layer cracker) and mixed with za'atar, olive oil, and vegetable crudité.. Followed by the Whipped Feta Spread with crushed pistachio, Aleppo & Urfa pepper, olive oil that makes the perfect segway to the house-made Stracciatella, that pistachio lovers will adore as it is garnished with grilled peach, pistachio pesto, crouton, basil (to us, it was presented on top of tomato bites). The Spread sampling couldn't be complete without a Charred Eggplant based on house yogurt, lemon, and California olive oil....it was well balanced as sometimes this spread tends to be bitter, but in this case, it wasn't. The Greek Village Salad is filled with plenty of Feta cheese (which I adore) and veggies (vine-ripened tomato, Persian cucumber, red onion, kalamata olive, bell pepper, greek vinaigrette), paired on touch with the spreads. Let drums roll for the starters: The Ahi Tuna with jalapeño, ginger scallion, kiwi, and hibiscus vinaigrette excelled and was one of my favorites because it has a nice spark of bitter taste. this one. Then I would have to give it up to the Beet Carpaccio (not only because I'm obsessed with beetroot in recipes, but because it played very well with the other ingredients (candied walnut, lemon zest, chive, yuzu vinaigrette). Honoring the Mediterranean, the green falafel is delivered due to its freshness, and on this occasion, it reflects a twist as it is prepared with avocado tzatziki, garlic tahini, and Dania spice. The grilled chicken also had a revamp by being marinated with yogurt, sweet pepper, and zhoug! Expect the same from the Beef & Lamb kebab, flavored with lemon, olive oil, tzatziki. The Signature Drinks were led by: Mediterranean Mule: herb-infused basic + 11 vodka, almond, Galliano, ginger, and lime ! Crisp taste, with the bitterness of the ginger and lime. Aloe? it's me...Ilegal joven mezcal, dos hombres mezcal , aloe , green juice , jalapeño, and pineapple! You can taste the aloe in every sip ! Last but not least, the service was impeccable by the awesome team on board, from the splendid bartenders, Julia and Adam, to the servers Andrei, Dereck, and the rest of the team who always made sure to have plenty of food for all of us! #ABAmore

Amazing staff, great food, and a nice ambiance.My only regret was not trying this place sooner! I went outside my comfort zone to try this place and they did not disappoint! Everything I ate and drank was full of flavor and fresh. Also, the Miami spice lunch menu was delicious with great options. The labneh was delicious. The chopped Mediterranean salad was delicious. The sticky date cake...was also delicious. I'd order it all again. The service was OVER THE TOP!! Mira took care of me at the bar and made it feel like home. I didn't need to ask for anything and she even educated me on the Lettuce Entertain You app. She was even on top of the specials and time for happy hour. She provided the best service I've had in years.On happy hour I had a dirty martini and it was good/strong. Needless to say, I'll definitely return promptly.

I came here yesterday with my friend to sample their Miami spice lunch menu. The decor is gorgeous. They have four false trees inside, which look like the real thing. The decor is beautiful. My friend was feeling unwell and did not want to eat. Our server told us if two people are present that we must order two Miami spice. My friend said I will not be eating anything. He said it was not allowed and that we must order something else.!!? strange but I am not going to make a fuss and ruin our girl time there asking why. But I DID not appreciate this. Forced to spend money on food that we do not want......So we ordered one Miami spice and one Falafel. Obviously, we had to take food away. I would love any explanation of this from the management!So, the food.The falafel - was pleasant but over salted.from the Miami spice lunch I sampled - The charred eggplant. It was pleasant but I have had better. It was missing something. The meditarrean salad - I really enjoyed this. It was fresh, colourful. I loved the pop of sweetness from the dates. Sticky date pudding with a caramel whisky sauce. This was the highlight of my meal. A well-executed dessert. I only wish they provided more of the sauce.

Aba is nestled nicely inside the mall which makes it a convenient location. The interior is decorated very nicely and has a modern Mediterranean vibe. We visited to try the Miami spice menu and it didn't disappoint. The portions were generous and by the time the mains came out we were already getting full. The servers were very attentive and came around often to check in on us. Will surely be back to try other dishes again.

Still using my birthday as an excuse to try as many Miami Spice menus as possible! This one is @abarestaurant in @balharbourshops ! We did the $60 4-course Miami Spice meal which consisted of a hummus/spread, cold/hot mezze, a main, and a dessert. Let me tell you they did not skimp on the portions I believe these were full size items (which we are seeing a lot more this year in miami spice making the value ++ but also filling you up fast ). They also had a miami spice drink menu and bottles on special (for $60) so we did a few of those!Since we were a larger table we got to try a lot of different things. My fave items include the whipped feta, short rib hummus, bone-in short rib, Shawarma prime skirt steak frits and honestly all the desserts were - If you've seen the trending frozen Greek yogurt with olive oil and sea salt you can get that here ( I loved it but there were mixed emotions around the table)Our server Reid was amazing and brought out some special desserts and sparklers for my birthday. The ambiance of the restaurant is luxurious and unique. Definitely would like to try dining outside next time t
