Ahba is a must go to spot if your in Laguna! Everything there is great, especially the lamb pita on their lunch menu. The burger is also delicious and must try! The salads are all great and very fresh! Everything on the menu is all around fresh and so yummy! A great menu with lots of options. The inside is very cute, staff is helpful and friendly. The vibes in there are very rustic homey! It does get a bit busy but it's worth i

I've only ordered the smashburger so far, but I have done so several times, and each time Ahba just hits, if you're in the mood for a slightly elevated smashburger. Not exactly in-n-out (which produces, as we all know, the OG smashburger) prices, but I suppose $20 burger is justified on occasion due to the addition of the delicious homemade aioli and thyme fries. Both the CM and Laguna locations feature a cute, homey ambiance with mismatched vintage furniture. The CM location is tucked away in the Lab, while the Laguna location is a little more easily found, along a stretch of the PCH in SoLag. Will return in the future to try other items on the menu! And I would like to add - I (and Ginger) do appreciate how pet-friendly Ahba is, even inside the restaurant.

AhbA was great! A rustic, beachy restaurant located on PCH. Looks pretty big but when it gets busy you can always sit next door where there is a lounge. Reminds me kind of like a college commuter living room so it's kind of cool. You order from a cashier and they give you a number. Ordered the wagyu burger and fries. There is no difference in price between lunch and dinner. They serve the lunch menu till 5 pm. Was filling enough. Wagyu burger is smashed and flavorful - savor each bite. It's worth it. My peers ordered different things from the chicken Sammy to the sweet potato entree. Seems like they were greatly enjoyed. Always nice to meet up w friends here.

This place was such an adorable hidden gem in south Laguna. The place itself is charming, it feels so cozy and homey. The architecture adds to this, it feels like you are in someone's home! But it is also very spacious and professional. There are lots of indoor and outdoor tables to choose from with very cute cactus decor and string lighting. You order at the counter and sit down. We actually chose to sit next door at Helen's Cocktails and they served us ourFood there which was fun. The Ahba burger was incredible! The wagyu meat was so soft and tender, it melted in your mouth. The fries were cooked nicely and the aioli was delicious.

Cute charming spot to eat at! Parking was easy a block away though I went at a non-busy time. It was quick to order at the front and get my food. I've heard such good things about the burger and the hype is real!I don't know why they call this a smashburger. The meat could be thinner and more crispy at the edges. Nevertheless, this was probably one of the top 10 burgers I've ever had. It was meaty and cheesy with a little heat (I usually never have real peppers in my burger). The bun had a good layer and soft texture. I didn't know the regular came with 2 patties and that you could opt for 1. I think I'll get just 1 the next time as 2 is a lot.The minus star is for the garlic fries which are so mediocre compared to the burger. The garlic aioli was delicious but the fries by themselves were like lesser McDonalds fries with melted somewhat not flavorful Parmesan cheese. I also got the kumquat lemonade--this is a good idea but the kumquat flavor was watered down.

Had a really great experience at this restaurant. We were looking for restaurants nearby to bring our dog then found this place. It's order at the counter and then find your own seat. The servers bring out your food for you. The prices aren't absurd for Laguna beach and especially for the quality of food so I will probably come back. We ordered drinks and food. Got the sweet potato as an appetizer which was amazing - I recommend. Also got the chicken sandwich, burger, and steak frites. All were delicious. Ambiance was great and the decor was cute. Best part is the dog friendliness of it all!

This place was super fun. I can't believe we didn't know about this place before. The service was amazing. We ordered the roasted chicken. It was divine. The Caesar salad was very tasty. I ordered the whole BrandzinoAnd unfortunately, it was absolutely covered in this very spicy chimichurri type sauce. ( I know I probably should've asked for it on the side however I didn't think the fish would be swimming in it) This is a very kid friendly, dog friendly , beachy and comforting place to hang and grab a bite. They do have in the back of the place for you to order cocktails , very cute and the bartender was so sweet. Right next-door to this restaurant is a little speakeasy called Helen's Oh my goodness you have to step inside this place. It will take you back to the late 70s early 80s vibe . We can't wait to go back to AHBA, for a burger and then over to Helen's for a cocktail...

stopped in laguna over the weekend and this was the cutest beachside cottage, we ordered the shakshuka and the breakfast burrito. we enjoyed both very much, definitely trying the french toast next time! the service was great as well. * side note * don't forget to stop by next door they have an awesome speakeasy that you can also enjoy your food at or just a fun hangout spot while you wait for your order.

Had an amazing lunch! Highly recommended the burger! Service was fantastic. We went over to the speakeasy after and the bartender Ally or ( Alley) was the KINDEST! She took care of us and made the atmosphere so fun.
