Aba Austin Reviews
Fantastic! Top 10 in Austin IMO!
Such a delightful place to dine โ great vibe, friendly, knowledgeable servers, and creative, well-presented, delicious food. Thanks Dani (sp?) for making a great meal even better! Every dish โ and the 5 of us had 10 or so of them โ whipped feta, eggplant, garlic humus, Brussels sprouts, haloumi, cauliflower, skirt steak, chicken thighs, and a beef/lamb kabob. And two desserts โ chocolate cake and cheesecake - yes please. Tasty wine and a delicious latte. Candidly, my Kettle One vodka martini was just okay. One of the top restaurants in Austin!
I was so excited to finally come to Aba since I do not live
I was so excited to finally come to Aba since I do not live in Austin and reservations are always hard to get. They do take walk-ins but it is hit or miss and usually comes with a long wait, so I booked this one in advance. When we arrived the restaurant told us it was fully booked and there were no reservations available to change the time. But when we walked in the dining room looked kind of empty which was confusing. I assume they hold those for walk-ins but it still felt odd. The service was not my favorite. It felt rushed like we were being pushed to order quickly so they could turn the table which is disappointing when you come in with a reservation and want to enjoy the evening. As for the food the whipped feta was phenomenal and the Greek village salad was also really good. The entrรฉes were underwhelming. We ordered the grilled chicken and the beef tenderloin and neither really impressed. The rice in particular was very citrusy which threw me off. As someone Middle Eastern I might be biased but it just did not work for me. The ambiance was beautiful but overall the experience felt overhyped. There are probably smaller Middle Eastern restaurants in Austin that get overlooked but serve better food. If I were to return it would be only for the appetizers.

Annyeonghaseyo, so Delhi is literally THE place if you're
Annyeonghaseyo, so Delhi is literally THE place if you're trying to mix business with adventure. I came here for work, but honestly it felt like I was time traveling. Chandni Chowk is wild especially the squeezing past rickshaws and spice stalls that smell like heaven, the next you're bargaining for silk scarves that are GORGEOUS. I went to this massive convention center and closed a huge deal with a modern supplier. Sure, the city's chaotic, but only in the best way. It's busy, colorful, and always moving. I left with a suitcase full of goods and maybe too many snacks plus new business contacts. 10/10 would recommend if you're a merchant who's into both tradition AND modern hustle.
Everything was delicious.
The hummus came with a generous amount of pita. The salmon crudo had a slight truffle flavor (I think it was just oil). It was like 2 slabs of thin salmon, my first time having it like this, normally I get it in bite size pieces but was fun. My first time having a short rib hummus and it was great. I love greek yogurt so this was the perfect dessert for me. Lots of bar, indoor, and outdoor dining options. Service was ok, nothing outstanding. Took a minute for them to take my check. Overall, happy with the food
Aba knows how to make women spend their money on a girly,
Aba knows how to make women spend their money on a girly, cute night out. The restaurant is adorable, it is decorated with greenery and plush seating. We made a reservation a few weeks in advance as the restaurant seems to fill up quickly. We ordered the Spritz tower because it was cheaper for us 4 girls to do that, and we each drank 2 spritz from this tower. The food was delicious but pricey given the portion size.
Ok , so let it be known.
I am not a hummus person at all. Their hummus is really good. We got salmon kabobs and a short rib dish. Everything was tasty. I would visit this place again. Even for the hummus
We live right nearby so this place was convenient.
The food is okay, nothing mind blowing, but it works. If you want really good Mediterranean food... drive to Houston. My issue with this restaurant is the treatment and the snob attitude/poor service. They think we're delivery drivers everytime we pick our food up, and treat us with disdain. Proof that they treat their delivery drivers this way. Terse condescending attitude every time. Once our food was missing (stolen?) And there was no apology whatsoever, telling us that delivery drivers should wait outside the restaraunt. We waited for an hour for them to remake our food. Once we informed them the food was for us and not a delivery, they changed REAL quick, but in the most disingenuous way possible. Assumptions suck, and so does treating delivery drivers like second class citizens. It's gross. So we've quit ordering from this place.
Grabbed lunch at Aba while in town.
It is ADORABLE, inside and out! It was Labor Day, and it was packed! We were lucky to grab a seat at the outdoor bar instead of having to wait for a table. I had the frozen cocktail, and my cousin and I ordered the short rib hummus, the whipped feta, and the kefta skewers and it was more than enough food for us. Everything was very good. The cocktail wasn't too sweet, and was almost bitter at the end, like aperol. The food was all very good, but the whipped feta was DIVINE. There were so many things on the menu I wanted to order, so I'd probably get the whipped feta with two other things to try some more next time. Definitely an awesome spot for lunch!
Came back to try the brunch menu and was happy with my
Came back to try the brunch menu and was happy with my vegan avocado toast! Our server was very friendly and the space was beautifully well kept, per usual. Aba is an Austin staple for good reason!
This place gets really busy and it seems like the
This place gets really busy and it seems like the reservations for normal lunch and dinner times are booked out several days in advance. We were set on trying this place and fine with a weird meal time, so we made a reservation for 1:45 pm. We got there and checked in at the front before being seated. We ordered and didn't see much of our waiter after we got our food. The food itself was pretty good. We ordered the favorite variety plate, Brussel sprouts, and the halibut. The feta dip was amazing. And the falafels were good too with a solid flavor to it. Everything was pretty good except for the garlic hummus, which tasted just like hummus and couldn't taste the garlic. The pita bread was very fresh and soft but they give you small portions and having to flag someone down to get it can take awhile. The google maps address leads you to a public parking lot that is ridiculously expensive. Aba validates parking, which helps with about $3 but after an hour and the validation, it still cost us $19. Beware of that. Don't park at that garage if you can help it and find public parking.
A bit overrated
The ambience is lovely and I enjoyed my cocktail but the food was average and definitely priced high for the amount/quality. The whipped feta was delicious but the hot honey halloumi was barely cooked and overly salty.
Terrible service, bad food. Apps were ok, we waited 30 minutes to have three entrees come out and waited another 5 for the final one. Unfortunately all of the mains had issues and the table wasnโt cleared between courses, we had to ask for the table to be cleared and got some vague explanation. The manager Andrew Aguero stopped by after that and started trying to explain why some of the plates were lukewarm or overcooked, apparently โit is difficult for them to bring out so many entrees at the same time, especially while waiting for a fat piece of fish to cookโ, at which point I had to request that it was sounding preachy. At which point this person, supposedly a manager at a service establishment, said โDo you even want to eat hereโ after which thereโs only one feasible answer. Never had such a terrible food or service experience ever. Pathetic.
We never miss
Whipped feta โฆpistachio halibut, yellowtail ..and the frozen Greek yogurt w Olive oil and sea salt -yes . Great early dinner .. we usually never miss dining here , red ash and loro.. our favorites . Aba has locations in Miami and Chicago .. which we have not been to.. but it really doesnโt feel like a chain. It feels very Austin. Itโs been open here about 4-5 years..we have come since it opened .
Good place
Nice place to eat a great quality Mediterranean food. Unfortunately even if it still saying at the menu they serve the salad, there isn't anymore. But nothing that is gonna ruin your experience. The service is good and the prices are fair for the amount and quality.
Beautiful atmosphere
The food, service, and atmosphere were outstanding. We had to sit outside because there was a private event going on, however they accommodated extremely well, there were heaters and they provided blankets. I was never uncomfortable. I really enjoyed the yellow tail tuna and the whipped feta. It was delicious.
Modern, buzzy venue with fab food and a great vibe
Stumbled across Aba whilst wandering solo down SoCo. I was first enticed by the pretty lights outside (!) but was also delighted when I saw the gorgeous, chic interior. Despite it being a Friday lunch time, they found me a table straight away, and service was super friendly and efficient. I ordered the chicken skewer dish and it was simply divine- as good - if not better- as any meal Iโve had in the Mediterranean. My wine was also fantastic. If I return to Austin, I will definitely go back to Aba.
Delicious Lunch Delights
Aba was AMAZING! I loved the way it was situated in nature. It made the atmosphere very calm and relaxing. The food and drinks were the cherry on top. We were visiting Austin for the first time, and this was one of the establishments recommended to us. We had several starters, our entrees, and libation! Everything was fresh and delicious. I do not usually eat hummus. I did that day! I had the lamb and beef kefta kebabs and my friends had the grilled salmon kebabs. Each of us had a different drink. They were fresh and flavorful. The presentation made them even better. We ate well and enjoyed each other's company. Our server was great!
Thirst trap blended Aperol spritz w yellowtail and halibut
One of my favorite spots anywhere .. I crave the yellowtail and shrimp scampi .. they donโt have the scampi anymore..sigh.. but we tried steak and halibut this visit-delish. Everything is always good here . I do find the employees to be stiff at times.. but our sever loosened up and was a bit more personal..as we concluded . Layer a in the tree ..just beautiful
Aba-solutely book in advance of your Austin visit!
My friend had tried to book this restaurant on previous trips to Austin with others and it was always booked up and I can understand why. Our booking was for 20:30 on a Sunday evening after we had caught the bats on congress bridge. Itโs in SoCo and not far from downtown. We waited at the bar for our table as we were early and were seated outside ahead of our reservation time. The menu is excellent and our server Milan P was attentive and helpful. We had the corn hummus to start and the chicken thighs and grilled halloumi dishes which were all good portions and shareable. Am delighted we did not miss the chance to dine here. Iโd go again in a heartbeat and can understand why itโs so popular. Book in advance if you are headed to Austin - itโs worth the trip! As I live in UK I will just have to relive the memories and try to replicate the hummus at home!
Great ambiance, food was just ok and service was ok too.
I may come back but it will definitely not be my first choice.
Must stop for a date night or a large gathering with
Must stop for a date night or a large gathering with family/friends! I booked a dinner reservation for 13 girls (bachelorette party) and I was a bit hesitant at first because there are obvious fees associated with it and sometimes things come up! Needless to say we had an exceptional experience from the moment we walked in. We pre ordered Prosecco to the table for a toast which was delicious. They even created menus printed with a title of our choice. ALL the drinks were amazing and our server Sean was knowledgeable, attentive, and funny. Always had a smile on his face. The food courses were dropped on our table in a timely manner. We were never waiting for food or having to ask for the next dish. Stand out items were the falafel (almost didn't order but was amazing) whipped feta, salmon, beef and lamb kefta. Do NOT forget to order the date cake for dessert. The whipped cream and syrup on top was so tasty!!!! Also was hesitant to drop a % for tip pre being served but the service was immaculate and well deserved at 20%. Enjoy and thank you again!
Went this weekend and tried their new corn hummus and it
Went this weekend and tried their new corn hummus and it was spectacular - definitely recommend! Also would add the chicken skewers as a tasty and sharable option. Comes with veggies and rice.

Had lunch with 2 friends at Aba and everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was so patient and gracious with us, we were dealing with cancelled flights and not ready to order yet. He ended up getting us a free appetizer which was so sweet of him. We had the chicken kabobs and basmati rice, watermelon feta salad, grilled halloumi, and roasted potatoes. The appetizer was the 3 spreads with pita. Everything was delicious, I wish I lived closer to dine again!
This place was PHENOMENAL, from the ambiance and the bar
This place was PHENOMENAL, from the ambiance and the bar service to each bite of food and sip drink. Walking up is even an experience. I believe there are 3 different bars and 3 different dining areas. We started indoors but ended up outdoors at the bar to take advantage of the happy hour menu. You can't get it from the indoor dining room. Great choice because it was also so nice outside. No matter where you sit whether inside or outside it's going to be beautiful. I really wish I remembered or even knew how to spell our bartender/server's name. He was on it and had awesome, honest recommendations based on our interests. From the HH menu we had the hummus and whipped feta served with unlimited WARM FRESH PITA BREAD!! That pita bread can be dangerous. SO GOOD but adds up in case you plan on eating a main entree, lol. Amazing dips!! My cocktails of choice were the Mediterranean Mule and "Aloe! It's me". The aloe had a little more pepper flakes than for my liking. Thanks to the bartender, I was able to order Zeftedes from the HH menu also which was crispy and flavorful Greek lamb meatballs and just the right amount. I was eyeing a lamb/beef kabob on the regular menu, but it came with tons of rice and veggies and prob higher price. After filling up on apps (aka pita bread) this was the perfect solution - just the protein. I'm sure their rice and kababos are also delicious and looked good on other people's tables. We also shared brussel sprouts which were fine. For desserts we tried the basque cheesecake and sticky date cake which is made with whiskey caramel - both so decadent and served with whipped cream! I just didn't have space for more than a couple bites. Aba is an Austin experience I won't forget and highly recommend it to anyone visiting and near South Congress. Whether date night, girlfriend catch-up time, a birthday party or family dinner, make Aba Austin your next stop! You won't regret it.
FOOD: Spectacular dishes.
Our server gave us quite a few solid recommendations. The one that stood out the most to me was the sweet potato hummus. It's a good mix of sweet and savory. It goes perfect with pts, but it is even better with crudites (get some!) bc it's so refreshing! I also loved the Halibut (tender and not over done) and falafels (crispy!!). AMBIANCE: I really enjoyed the availability of outdoor and indoor seating. There's a bar in the outdoor area available as well. Great for grabbing a drink as you wait for a table. There's mist spraying out on the day I was visiting. Outdoor seating is absolutely beautiful with all the plants. PARKING: The restaurant is right above a parking structure and there's street parking available.
One of the coolest restaurants we have been to in a while!
One of the coolest restaurants we have been to in a while! My wife and I did a staycation in downtown and made dinner reservations at Aba. Make sure you make reservations weeks in advance or it'll be tough to get in. We ordered several small bites during dinner and it was plenty of food! We had crispy short rib hummus with homemade pita (INCREDIBLE!!!), whipped feta (Must try!), and Yellowtail. Each one of these had great flavors and definitely filled us up! The ambience is cool! We sat outside on the patio. Lots of lights, cool trees and plants. The vibe is definitely Austin! We walked back to our hotel after and had a great view of downtown at night. Great experience!
Wonderful first experience at Aba's.
The food was fabulous, the drinks were perfectly crafted and the service was amazing. Our server was Morgan was not only so attentive, she was also very knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. The dessert was phenomenal. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Austin.
I absolutely adored my first experience at Aba! The
I absolutely adored my first experience at Aba! The waitress was amazing and so was the food. We sat outside and it was a beautiful patio and the service was fantastic. Extremely accommodating to allergies. We tried a few drinks, wine, the spicy lamb ragu and other things and everything was fantastic!! I will be recommending this to everyone and we will return.
Yum!!! The food is amazing, but the interior and exterior
Yum!!! The food is amazing, but the interior and exterior also are beautiful and add to the ambiance. It has some of the best hummus I've ever had. The service was great as well. I would recommend coming and trying it if you like Mediterranean food.
Sunday Lunch
From the ambience to the service and the food, highly recommended. Did not expect the quality of the food, but I was totally impressed. Have to try the one they have in Bal Habour hopefully itโs the same service and food.
Great Atmosphere. Great Food. Great Time.
Such a lovely restaurant tucked back in a corridor along South Congress. This place gets super busy so make a reservation at least a day in advance. We didn't do this and waited about 1 hr and 45 mins but it was worth the wait!! The menu features authentic Mediterranean dishes. Our order was: Drinks - Hill Country Old Fashioned & Aperol Spritz Hummus - Smokey Garlic Hummus Cold Mezze - Marinated Olives & Feta Main - Tamarind Braised Short Ribs Main - Charred Grilled Lamb Chops Dessert - Frozen Greek Yogurt The food was delicious and the atmoshere felt high-end but approachable. Our server was so friendly and we loved our experience here. Great place if your on South Congress!
Aba - Local Favorite Mediterranean
As a long time Austinite, Aba is a local favorite. Not only because the food is so incredibly fresh and delicious, but the vibe is so good. Especially the outdoor seating with the decking built around old, existing trees that are strung with lights. It's beautiful, romantic and such a great place to pass the time by with a loved one or friends and family. Last time I went with friends to catch up, lunch turned to dinner as we were there for over six hours, enjoying the food, vibes and plenty of champagne ๐ฅ๐พโค
SoCo delicious restaurant
This is a great restaurant to spend time with friends and family the atmosphere is nice and the food was delicious. Try the lamb and the chicken but donโt miss the Greek yoghurt dessert with lemon!! And the hummus
Aba Gift Cards are a scam
Do not buy a gift card from Aba. It is a scam. We were gifted a gift card that my mom purchased from Aba's website. The staff acted strange when we told them we had a gift card and suggested we purchased it from a fake discounted website, though it was purchased from Aba's website and we had multiple emails to verify. We've lived in Austin for a long time and were excited about this special experience. It ended up being very embarrassing and we were disappointed that the staff was not more accommodating or willing to help. We will not be back.
Aba is one of the best restaurants in any place anywhere!
Aba is one of the best restaurants in any place anywhere! My bestie and I went for my birthday and enjoyed every second of the experience...The service is 5 stars, the ambiance is 5 starts (beautiful plants, lights, scents and decore are intentionally placed), and the food! Where do I begin? The food is flavorful, fresh, beautiful, light, and absolutely delicious! 10 stars for the food.
Fabulous vibe!!! Indoor or outdoor.
Delicious salads, dips, HOT PITA, great cocktails. Fun and festive! Great service! Loved it!
Love Aba! The food is always great.
I am the whipped feta and the short rib hummus are excellent starts. We also love the yellowtail crudo. I think we have had every main dish on the menu and they have all been delicious. Honey Pie and Greek yogurt ice cream with olive oil are a great way to end the meal. The wine list features wines from Mediterranean countries and we like to try something new every time. The staff and the bartenders really know their stuff. Great Vibe. Super fun girls night out or date night.
Great food and pretty atmosphere.
I like to get a hummus and share some whipped feta. The staff are also great and accommodating. They made me a mock tale that wasn't on the menu.
We traveled to Austin from Indiana last month.
This was by far the best meal we had in Austin. Everything was incredible but the short rib hummus was out of this world. Our service was top notch. Garrett was one of the best severs we've had in ages. Kind, funny, attentive, and full of wonderful recommendations. He also didn't push us to order more than we needed to feel comfortably full. Although after our appetizer I was ready to order the whole menu! I'm counting down the days until our next Chicago trip to check out the Aba there. It will be hard to be the beautiful patio in Austin though.
Best dining experience in Austin.
Food and wine off the hook! Just tricky to get in on short notice for business travel.
Aba is definitely on my list of my top 5 favorite
Aba is definitely on my list of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Austin! So good! The whipped feta.. drooling now. The staff is always so nice and welcoming and the service is always of quality. Not to mention the ambiance.. what a vibe. Still have yet to sit outside though. This place of course is always packed!!
Perfect combination of ambience, food and service.
... Loved everything from the cocktails to the main course.
Every TikTok recommended this place, friends raved about
Every TikTok recommended this place, friends raved about it, and reviews were stellar, so I was very hopeful for some delicious food. However, I was let down. Our waiter, Justin, was the friendliest person ever and was attentive. The food came out quickly, and the restaurant is super pretty, but the food was mediocre, and I wouldn't recommend for people to be spending their money here. My favorite was the muhamarra from the sampler spread platter we got. It was sweet and savory from the roasted peppers, and I'm drooling thinking about it. In addition, the famous brussel sprouts were decent. They were super crispy but soft on the inside, but they were a bit too charred for me. It would've been okay if there was more sweetness or citrus to balance it out, there was some from the harissa honey, just not enough. The two entrees were extremely disappointing. The Crispy Heirloom Chicken Thigh wasn't crispy at all, and the sauce was way too oily to be enjoyable. The Roasted Pork Belly was super soft, tender, and melted in your mouth due to how much fat it had, however, the cider jus didn't taste like much, and the spaghetti squash and honeycrisp apples were just there. The Sticky Date Cake is the best thing this restaurant has, and if you do happen to come here, this is a must order. The cake was soft and a little crispy on the outside, and the whipped cream was so fluffy. At least we ended lunch on a good note.
BETTER THAN THE BEST SELLING GROUP ABBA.
We visited here, for my Boyfriend's birthday, we were on holiday travelling from the UK. When researching where to book for restaurants, this place just kept coming up, so we booked it hoping it would live up to the hype, spoiler... it did! First impressions of the place were amazing, we were sat outside and the temperature was just perfect, we were already transported to a meddeteration vibe before we'd even ordered the food. I hope I rememberer his name correctly, but we were served by Joseph who gave us next level service, I'm not sure if this was because of my boyfriends birthday, but nevertheless, we couldn't fault him, he was so good at taking us through the menu and explaining everything, he was so much fun. We ordered the Lamb and Beef Kefta, The truffle baked orzo (A MUST!), and the whipped feta spread, paired perfectly with the fresh bread basket. We also ordered an Espresso Martini and a Carajillo, which were delicious, and were a life saver with the jet lag we had. Our server also organised a surprise little birthday cake with a candle, (we think it was the sticky date cake) which went down a treat. (a note to any soho house members, Soho House Austin is just next door for a cheeky pre-dinner cocktail!) All in all, we would love to go back, and this was such a special romantic dinner for my boyfriends birthday, worth the hype!
What a wonderful surprise! Not gonna lie, we needed the
What a wonderful surprise! Not gonna lie, we needed the restroom so we decided to have a drink at the outside bar. The bartender was friendly and made the most amazing Hill Country Old Fashioned. Amazing. It was a perfect place to sit, relax and enjoy a drink.
Aba is just incredible.
It's the best Mediterranean food in Austin (and dare I say the best in the US) everytime I am just blown away by how good the food is. It is pricey, but the experience is well worth it. We go ham on the apps to share everything family style. We ordered the Japanese Sweet Potato hummus, the truffle baked orzo, the potatoes, the green falafels, their heirloom salad and the Chicken Kabab. This was plenty of food for 3 people and we had enough leftovers for the next day. Every single dish is a 10/10. You must get the sticky Date Cake because it's so good. Every time someone is coming in from out of town I make sure to take them here!
Super chic and cute spot to get a drink when it's hot! I
Super chic and cute spot to get a drink when it's hot! I loved everything about the service the space and the drinks. For happy hour they have some great deals. The patio area is so great and covered from the sun and the bar is so modern.
Awful service
The service has been consistently bad our last few visits and last night was the final straw. Itโs a pity as the food is good but bad service is turn off and not worth the trouble. I spoke to manager and received a polite, but highly vacuous response. We were so relieved to leave the restaurant (the delays to the food were so long that we almost felt trapped) and will not be returning, ever.
A โrawโ experience
Crowded and noisy to start. Great menu and the roasted potatoes are clearly the best dish on the menu. Stick to those veggie options to share. The salmon was dry, tasty but dry. The lamb chops, though ordered medium, were raw inside; not rare. Not an inexpensive meal and maybe a place to forget.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Aba Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Aba Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Aba Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Aba Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
