AhbA

Alright, this place is bomb y'all. We were unsure about what to get and had to ask the server what would be best to get, and she recommended getting the burger and fries as the first choice. So my wife and I both ordered the burgers with spicy garlic and regular fries. We also ordered the cucumber salad to keep that summer bod, ya know. Now, burgers. These things were fire and had some serious flavor and heat! Found out there were some chilis or peppers in the burger that were not overwhelming and added a good bite! Great taste and moist beef, cheese perfectly melted. Again, these were some solid burgers with great ratio. If they were like 25% bigger, it would easily be a 10/10. The fries were fire as well. Good flavor and a good little aioli sauce that they came with! Honestly, the cucumber salad was the biggest shock and truly a bomb salad. Would DEFINITELY recommend it to others and suggest it as a good vibey burger joint! The place has a cool style and fun bathroom disco dancing! Gotta see it to believe it!

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.

This place is way too expensive to order at the front and then have your food delivered to your table. This place should have real servers. I ordered from the girl at the front and she knew nothing about the menu and wasn't willing to go find out. I asked her about the red wine (there was only one listed) and she couldn't tell me if it was sweet or dry but told me I could go ask the bartender and then come back and order. I asked her what else came with the prawns ($26) and she said nothing but 'I think it comes with 4 and they are pretty big'. It was listed as a "main" so I assumed it must be enough to be considered a main entree. They were not big and it came with 3. $26 for 3 normal size shrimp. What the actual *? They weren't even that good. They came with the head and tails on them so they appear bigger, but they are very normal size shrimp. I cannot get over the fact that they were $26. We had to go get our own waters from the bar. We had to get up and get our own napkins. No one took our plates away. All of the dishes are quite small and mediocre. Way over priced. I don't get it. Decor is cute. That's about it.

Food 5 starsService 1 starThey came and took our order, we waited a good 20 mins + for hummus and feta appetizers, food came out about 10 minutes after that. It's an hour and a half later now and no one has come to check on us or refill our water or ask if we wanted another cocktail. Although someone did take our plates away but lacked attentiveness. We had made a reservation for 3pm and the place was practically empty when we got here for a birthday reservations we had made and we even noted that on the reservation form online. We planned to go upstairs to the rooftop area and get some more drinks, but now we feel like we're being held hostage for our check. I'll probably go to the Laguna location before I come back here. Service was very disappointing. The food and drinks were impeccable, compliments to the chef and bartender.

AhbA seriously delivers every single time. I'm such a big fan of their Laguna Beach location so I was pretty excited to check out their spot at The Camp! Clearly I loved it just as much considering I've brought my girlfriends twice in the last week. Parking at The Camp/The Lab on a Friday / Sat evening can be a doozy but sometimes you luck out! It's located towards the very back of The Camp tucked in its own cutesy corner - hard to miss considering it is literally so beautiful. AhbA has absolutely everything I look for in a fun restaurant - moody lighting, tasteful eclectic decor, and a simple menu full of yummy food. Service is always above and beyond and the vibes are just perfection. Whether it's a girls' brunch, family outing, or romantic date night, I highly recommend. Never loved a place as much as I love AhbA. Be sure to stop by their rooftop bar Buzz's (take the stairwell on the right side). Such a fun way to end your meal and talk with friends and fam.My personal favorite is their signature burger but the chicken sammie is also super delish. The AhbA spritz is amazing too

Ive been to this location 7 times now and I am just in love with their salad! The chicken is juicy and the combination is made in heaven! The service is always good and the ambiance is great whether you're looking for a place to work in the afternoon or to hangout later in the night or on weekends. The camp is one of the coolest places in CM and this specific restaurant won't disappoint. We also ordered their wine and their espresso martinis and both were great!

that pasta and burger combination made me squirt the first time.This lil joint also has a pretty good adult beverages and the cocktails are fairly priced.The upstairs thing is cute but unfortunately is an annoying influencer's wet dream of an ambiance. Yea, I'll give it a 5 cus it hits on all cylinders. Haven't tried the whole menu yet but it's a really pleasant and cool spot.

AhbA is a VIBE.If you're looking for an aesthetic restaurant with quality bites, this is your spot. I originally tried their breakfast at their Laguna location a year ago and was so excited once I heard they were opening up the CM location.Conveniently located at The Camp, nooked away in the corner, you're transported into a quirky, stylish and carefully curated dining spot. I love ordering at the front and having the option to self seat in a location that suits your needs. EATS:* smash burger - recommend* roasted chicken dish - recommend* chicken sandwich - bland, don't recommend* breakfast burrito - recommend* French toast - recommend * American traditional breakfast - recommendDRINKS:You can enjoy a drink at the bar downstairs or make your way upstairs to their swanky outdoor bar, Buzz! They also offer a full coffee bar.Great spot for date night, friend meet up or a group! They have a raw bar on Fri and Sats and sometimes offer tacos upstairs at the bar.I love bringing family and friends here and I hope you do too!

One of the best finds of the year for me. My husband's company gifted a gift card here at the year end holiday party. We came to eat on a weekday right when they opened at 11 am. First, you order & pay at the front door and you can choose wherever you want to sit. All the servers were so welcoming and friendly. Once you step in, it's a beautiful space. Ahba really knows how to set a vibe. There are a lot of plants and the feel is cozy and fun. The bathrooms have fun lights. It's a great spot to come with friends. There is a long table that could fit a big group, bench seating against the wall, round tables, bar seating, and 2 outdoor seating areas. Tables have napkins and tableware in a can. Water is self-served at the espresso bar. Drinks:Their coffee is amazing!! My husband had the brown sugar cinnamon latte and I had the spiced pear latte. Sooooo good. Food: - Hummus ($15) - Dense bread-like pita that soaks up the hummus well. It comes with a spicy sauce and date paste. Unique flavors and tasty! Comes with a lot of hummus so good for sharing. - Pita sandwich w/ braised lamb ($15) - Lamb was tender and well-seasoned and the dish was gorgeously plated on olive oil. The tzatziki sauce goes so well with the spices in the lamb. - Lobster roll ($32) - Crisp buttered bread goes so well with their garlic aioli. The rosemary fries are SO good - perfect crunch & the scent is amazing. Bonus: There is wifi for guests so we ended up staying after our meal to work on our laptops for a bit.

Cute bar/casual lounge to grab drinks and a bite with friends. Located in The Camp, they have a main floor restaurant/bar and also a rooftop. When we visited they were hosting a private party on the rooftop so unfortunately we weren't able to see it but will definitely be back another time for that! During this visit we just grabbed drinks however as other tables were being brought their food, it looked delicious!You order everything at the front with the hostess, pay, and are then provided a table number to take inside with you where you seat yourself. Also, they have a full bar so you can order drinks outside of what is presented on their menu. I ordered an espresso martini and they did not disappoint! If you're in the area this is a cute spot to catch up with friends! I can't wait to check out their rooftop soon!
