" I had the pleasure of dining at Aba during a recent visit to Austin, and it did not disappoint! The ambiance was incredible, with lush greenery and a cozy atmosphere that made for a perfect evening. We started with the whipped feta, and it was out of this world! For the main course, I opted for the chicken kebabs, which were beautifully grilled and full of flavor. The portions were manageable, allowing us to try multiple dishes. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation as it tends to fill up quickly! I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aba offers a unique take on Mediterranean cuisine but doesn’t quite hit the mark for authenticity in all dishes. While I appreciated the aesthetic experience – the decor is lovely and sets a nice background for a dinner – some flavors felt a bit modernized. However, I must commend the attentive service and overall vibe of the place. It’s a fun spot for a dinner with friends, just don't come expecting strictly traditional plates. " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon visiting Aba, I found the setting to be gorgeous and very inviting. The lovely greenery combined with an enticing menu created the perfect atmosphere for our dinner. I enjoyed the crispy roasted potatoes but must say the portion sizes were a bit smaller than I had expected given the prices. While the flavors were delicious and well-executed, that was a small drawback to an otherwise enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Aba has become one of our favorite restaurants in Austin, bringing Mediterranean cuisine to life. The outdoor decor is stunning, which enhances the overall dining experience. We had a delightful time trying different tapas sizes, and our favorites were the crispy short ribs and various dips. A well-deserved praise for their drink selections as well! Just remember to reserve in advance as it was bustling when we visited. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Aba was a delightful experience, to say the least! The restaurant offers a beautiful ambiance, especially on the patio, and the dishes we tried were flavor-packed. The crispy short rib hummus was particularly memorable. The only downside was the waiting time; we were there during peak hours and like several others had to wait, but it was worthwhile in the end! I'd love to visit again. " (*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!
