Aba

Had a corporate pri-fix dinner and everyone loved it. The food was fresh, flavorful and plentiful, served family-style. Great cocktais, wine and beer selection. I still regret not having more of the dessert. :)The ambiance was fantastic, and because it was a chilly evening, the heaters were blasting, and we enjoyed being outside and not cooped up. Highly recommend and will absolutely return when in Austin next.

I take everything back because Aba has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. I've been a few times since my initial underwhelming visit, and I have to say that their food is delicious and I understand the hype. My friends and I had a really large party of 9 on Sunday, which happened to be marathon day. Our waiter was so attentive and took really good care of us. Food came out promptly, and we had a blast just eating and drinking.I highly recommend their mushroom hummus, ahi tuna, and thirst trap frozen cocktail. Skip the steak & eggs and espresso martini. Their pita bread is to die for.

Okay, so I finally made it to Aba for brunch last weekend, and let me tell you, it totally lived up to the hype! I'd heard amazing things, as someone who appreciates good Mediterranean flavors, I had high hopes. Thankfully, they did NOT disappoint!My crew and I rolled up early (smart move, because this place gets packed!) and managed to snag a walk-in table. First-timers at brunch, we were ready to sample the goods. We started with the Hummus with Spicy Lamb Ragu - OMG. The lamb was so tender and flavorful, and the spicy kick was just perfect with the creamy hummus. Seriously, I could have just eaten that all day.But of course, we had to try more! The Brussels Sprouts were crispy and delicious, with a great balance of sweet and savory. For our mains, we went with the chicken kebabs and the lamb & beef kefta. The kebabs were juicy and well-seasoned, and the kefta was a flavor explosion! Everything was cooked perfectly.The atmosphere at Aba is also fantastic - super chill and stylish. It's the perfect spot for a weekend brunch with friends. Honestly, from the food to the service to the vibe, everything was on point. Five stars for Aba - I'll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend checking them out, especially for brunch!

Came back for a friend's birthday and had a lovely time! It was freezing cold outside but they had covers around the outside patio with cozy heaters. Our server was so nice and attentive to our needs. The food was yummy per usual, my favorite item of theirs has to be their hummus spreads, and their bread omgggg.

Discovered Aba through their Valentine's Day special. For $130, you get a five-course dinner for two, to-go. This is an insane deal, considering the amount of food you get. This year the meal included: lobster bisque, smoky garlic hummus with house bread, seared ahi tuna, beef tenderloin filets with sides of Brussels sprouts and scalloped potatoes, chocolate cake, and a bottle of Giuliana Prosecco. They provided reheating instructions that were easy to follow, and the food was spectacular. We loved everything we tried and were happy to have leftovers. Although we only stopped by the restaurant to pick up our food, I was very impressed by the interior decoration; it's a beautiful restaurant, with plants and lights everywhere. We parked in the Music Lane parking garage conveniently located next to Aba's. I can't wait to come back!

This is a fantastic restaurant and serves super flavorful vegetarian dishes. The ambience is perfect for a date or celebratory dinner. My friend hosted her bach dinner celebration here and the custom menu was amazing - I loved their muhammara and charred eggplant apps, plus their pita bread was extremely delicious (probably one of the best I've had so far). We also ordered the - Brussels sprouts: it was sweet, salty and crispy. It was perfectly baked and seasoned.- falafel: very crunchy and flavorful. It was paired well with their dip- mushroom dish: I'm not a fan of mushroom so I did not like this much but it's great for mushroom lovers - village salad: the dressing paired well with the salad ingredients I loved the appetizers much more than the entrees and I would definitely go here again just for that next time I'm in Austin again

I've been visiting Austin for years, and for some reason I've always miss this spot! Well, never again because this is the spot to visit when on Soco! Fair warning, the restaurant fills quickly. We luckily snagged a patio seat while the restaurant was hosting a private party. Amongst the sweeping trees, everything I tried, and I mean everything had me wanting more. If I could recommend only one dish it would be either whipped feta, or a seafood dish. However, this is one of those restaurants where you can't go wrong! It's the perfect spot to take a friend and try something new. If you find yourself doing the tourist thing on SOCO, definitely drop into Aba and give them a try!

Aba came highly recommend by a friend and Austin local. We visited on a weekday for an early dinner. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to put our name down for a short wait. They said they would contact us when our table was ready, so we walked around for a little bit until we received their text.We were seated outside on their beautiful patio towards the back. It was a beautiful evening in Austin and the setting was perfect for it. Our server greeted us shortly after being seated, and was wonderful throughout the entire meal.We ordered several items to share including the garlic hummus, yellowtail, and the whipped feta with pistachios on the side. All of them were very fresh and delicious with my favorites being a tie between the yellowtail and whipped feta. For my entree, I ordered the halibut, but by the time it arrived, I was full from the appetizers so I decided to take it to go. However, I did take a couple of bites. It was cooked perfectly. I also enjoyed their espresso martini, which was excellent.It was a very memorable meal and definitely worth my friend's hype!

Amazing experience overall! The food and service were fantastic. My favorite item was the garlic hummus! Flavorful and paired well with the pita bread! The bread itself was great. Bread was soft, flavorful and light. Kept eating all the pita bread and was too full by the time the rest of the items came The falafel was great! A bit crunchy and soft on the inside. It paired with avocado tzatziki! Short Rib Shakshuka - short ribs were very tender, pulled apart easily. Lots of potatoes were in this dish!

Gorgeous restaurant. Food is incredible. Hard to get a reservation so we went at like 3 pm in the middle of the week. Would definitely come back for a special occasion
