" Dining at Aba was an experience I will fondly remember! The outdoor seating was aesthetically pleasing, surrounded by twinkling lights and greenery. We ordered a variety of tapas, and the standout for me was the muhammara dip—very flavorful! The service was impeccable, and our server was attentive without being intrusive, which enhanced our dinner experience. I will say the prices are on the higher side, but given the ambiance and quality of meals, it is well worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Truly a wonderful experience at Aba! The outdoor seating amidst the vibrant atmosphere was perfect for dinner with friends. The food was delectable, and I highly recommend the crispy potatoes. I did find out the dessert to be a slice of heaven. The only downside I can mention is the price; it does lean on the higher side, but with the experience offered, it feels worth every penny. I look forward to coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last weekend, we celebrated a friends’ birthday at Aba and it was absolutely fantastic! We decided to dine outside, surrounded by playful lights and greenery set in an almost secret garden vibe. Our server was phenomenal, ensuring our glasses were filled and checking in on us frequently. We started with the charred eggplant and sticky date cake, which were both incredible. The toasty pita paired with the hummus was a crowd favorite as well. I would highly encourage anyone looking to have a great time and delicious food to come here! Just know that the prices reflect the upscale ambiance, so be prepared to spend a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aba offers a lively vibe that makes dining a real experience! While the food was flavorful and beautifully plated, I found some of the dishes less authentic than I hoped. For instance, the hummus could have had a bit more depth of flavor. That being said, the service was exceptional – our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. Overall, a good spot for a fun night out, but don't expect it to be a traditional Mediterranean experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aba left a lasting impression on me after my first visit! The vibe is perfect for casual or special occasions, and I felt welcomed from the moment I entered. The service was top-notch, with our waiter being friendly and attentive. We sampled a variety of dishes, and each one was exceptional, with a special nod to the hummus. It's a great dining choice in Austin; just be sure to secure a reservation in advance! " (*Curated Review*)

" Aba is a gem of a restaurant! The decor is simply stunning, and the food is a delightful mix of flavors that remind me of my travels in Mediterranean countries. We had a splendid time savoring the crispy falafel, lamb chops, and stunning desserts. The only downside was the wait time, as it was packed during the evening. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time to have a seamless experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Aba was quite enjoyable! The drinks were refreshing, and I particularly loved the hummus variety. The atmosphere makes it a great place for a date night or a casual dinner with friends. My only complaint would be the portion sizes, as some dishes felt a bit small for the price, but it's manageable if you plan to share your food. Overall, I would certainly return!
