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 it’s the same service and food.
Be the first to ReplyGreat 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!

Be the first to ReplyAba 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.

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!
Be the first to ReplyAwful service
The service has been consistently bad our last few visits and last night was the final straw. It’s 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.
Be the first to ReplyA “raw” 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.
Be the first to ReplyThe Hype is REAL!
I had HIGH expectations for Aba after all the hype I heard and I’m happy to say that it still blew me away with immaculate ambiance, delicious food, and stellar service! Be prepared to eat your body weight in pita bread if you order any of the hummus or spreads because once you have one bite, you can’t stop… it’s that amazing (and unlimited)! Definitely try to book a reservation pretty far in advance if you can (and consider making a second reservation while you’re at it because you’ll immediately want to come back). SERVICE - The hostesses were very welcoming and pleasant… we got a text 15 minutes before our reservation time saying our table was ready and we got seated as soon as we arrived. Morgan was a fantastic waitress… she was super personable, checked on us frequently to make sure we had what we needed, and gave her opinion on food options when we asked (we ordered the Sticky Date Cake for dessert at her recommendation and it was just as amazing as she described). PRICE - I went into this meal thinking the menu seemed a little pricey BUT after seeing the portion sizes and tasting the items we ordered, I think the price point is extremely reasonable! WHIPPED FETA (10/10) - I couldn’t help but smile after every single bite of this! It has almost a cream cheese texture but a strong feta taste and the crushed pistachio on top pairs with it perfectly! Plus, the pita bread that comes with it is bottomless and is PHENOMENAL! The seasoning on the pita bread has almost a pizza flavor and the overall thickness and texture of the bread was exactly what I love for pita. This is a must order! CRISPY SHORT RIB W/ HUMMUS (10/10) - We had heard great things about this hummus but weren’t sure if we wanted to get it in addition to the whipped feta but I’m SO glad we got both! This is my favorite hummus I’ve ever had… the sherry and beef jus smack you in the mouth with flavor and there was tons of short rib! “Crispy” is the perfect description because it was tender and easy to pull apart into small pieces but still maintained a crispy texture on the outside. Just like the whipped feta, it comes with bottomless pita bread and is a must order! LAMB & BEEF KEFTA KEBAB (5/10) - This was the one disappointment… the kefta were pretty dry and lacking flavor. Especially after taking a bite of the short rib hummus and then taking a bite of this, it was night and day. The basmati rice and veggies on the side (cucumber, tomato, and red onion) were food but nothing special. The highlight was the small side of tzatziki, but overall my mouth was pretty sad while eating this. I wouldn’t get it again. GREEN FALAFEL (7/10) - I love falafel and these had a great level of spice and seasoning. They were super crispy on the outside without being oily and the tzatziki and tahini underneath added some great flavor as well. No specific complaints, it just didn’t knock my socks off. BRUSSELS SPROUTS (8/10) - I get Brussels sprouts pretty often at restaurants and these were very good! The harissa honey added a nice sweetness but there wasn’t any heat and the almond and cashew dukkah added a nice textural element throughout. Looking at them, I expected a little more crunch… they looked crispy but were on the softer side. If these were a little more crispy and had a slight heat, I’d give them a 10/10. STICKY DATE CAKE (10/10) - I almost always go for chocolate desserts but we asked our waitress for her preference between the Sticky Date Cake and the Chocolate Chocolate Cake and she immediately replied that the Sticky Date Cake was one of her favorite desserts ever so we followed her recommendation. After taking one bite, my thoughts were “chocolate, who?”… my tastebuds were doing a big happy dance because this was INCREDIBLE! The actual texture of the date cake was perfect… caramelized and crispy on top but then soft underneath. The whipped cream on the side was super light and had a great level of sweetness while the whisky caramel sauce made me want to lick the plate clean. I will order this every time I come! It’s hard for a hyped-up restaurant to impress me but Aba nailed it from start to finish! As soon as I got home, I was looking at the brunch menu and planning my next trip!
Be the first to ReplyNo more shrimp ?! What
Race cocktail was fun today .. but we were seated in the breezeway.. when I make a reservation, seat me under the tree please.. my very favorite dish in all of Austin is the shrimp from Aba. I adore this dish and they have gotten rid of it in the last month!! ..gosh.. I just don’t know why that would happen. I bring anyone who visits here.. of course the mezze and the kabobs and yellowtail , Greek salad.. all good..but that shrimp scampi served in an escargot type plate w breadcrumbs and butter ..it’s amazing. I may boycott for a while just for this .sorry Aba but that just not ok. Tried the crab dip..nope not even close . So I will chicken carage at Loro and panzanella salad at Red ash when they re open.. and even get shrimp scampi from North Italia and soup dumpling at Lin and Wi, oyster at Perla’s and Clarkes while I consider if I can forgive the chef at Aba .tear
Be the first to ReplyGreat special occasion spot
This was a fun, special occasion, ladies lunch spot - a little pricier than I'd normally choose & love. The atmosphere & service were great. The food was fantastic. We enjoyed the lunch dip sampler appetizer and got two kabobs to share amongst 3 adults. The chicken kabob in particular was flaky and absolutely delicious.

The food is amazing with a fantastic atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor. Celebrated my birthday here with girlfriends, and everything was simply delicious. Don't miss the unique yogurt dessert!
Be the first to ReplyWorth the Wait … Great Dining Experience …
Ate dinner here last night with my wife. Well worth the wait of an hour, having put our name on the waiting list at 5 PM. It has taken us a year to get here, and wow, really special place and meal! Had drinks while we waited. Great people watching! Drinks were pricey, but typical Austin upscale prices really, and delicious. One of the best martinis I’ve had in years. Seated outside for dinner by a beautiful oak tree. Even though Austin is oppressively hot right now, it was pleasantly cool enough while we ate dinner. Our server, KJ, see picture, was excellent. Made excellent recommendations, was friendly and attentive, and definitely added to an altogether. Fantastic dining experience. We had the brisket hummus with crudités and gluten-free chips. I hesitate to use the word outstanding, but it’s accurate. The sashimi yellowtail was world-class. Fresh tasting with a little citrus kick Delicious and refreshing. Brussels sprouts were way up the list of best in Austin. For the entree, had the salmon kebab, which was an aA+ plus dish, nice portion of salmon, which was perfectly grilled and moist. Also had some type of cheese kebab that was grilled. The cheese was delicious in terms of the first bite, but you need to eat it while it’s still (delivery) hot or it becomes pretty ordinary. A truly great meal. This restaurant should have a higher rating in my opinion The ambience, service and, food were all top-notch. Not inexpensive, but well worth it! We will definitely be back. Soon. Thanks KJ, for a great dining experience! The underground parking is challenging, overly crowded, and $20 by the time you’re done with dinner. Don’t let that be a buzz kill, although it is an added expense.
Be the first to ReplyGreat casual restaurant with delicious food and amazing service
We went to Aba restaurant for our wedding anniversary lunch and absolutely loved it. Everything from the exterior decor, to friendly welcoming hostess ( we had a reservation for 2 pm, but came earlier around 12 pm and even though they were supper busy they sat us at a table immediately no questions asked). The food was delicious, we had the lunch special platter as well as the lamb/beef kofta kabobs followed by a halva desert. The food is fresh and makes you want more. The cocktails from the bar were right on point as well. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. We truly enjoyed eating at Aba, highly recommend it and will come back for sure!
Be the first to ReplyHappy 4th lunch ..shrimp and kebab and orzo yum
We never miss Aba when we are in town .. love the shrimp and yellowtail and mezze Trio ..tried lamb kebab and new tomato orzo today.. delish. Wonderful sitting outdoors before too hot ..only negative was a terrible rude inconsiderate couple w 2 poor dog citizens who barked whole time. Spoiled a perfect environment for everyone else there . Management should have reseated them or excused them …not fair to everyone else enjoying such a beautiful Time . There were 3 other dogs there who were perfect/silent . We often bring our pup to outside venues because he is well trained. Like children…well behaved dogs and littles should come along and enjoy .. poorly behaved ones should stay home so mom and dad can enjoy themselves w other adults doing the same . We all work too hard to go out and enjoy ourselves to have to endure your poor manners
Be the first to ReplyGo for the food, stay for the gorgeous patios and vibes
We were not expecting much given how pretty the space is. But, the food ended up being the best part. It was the best Falafel I've had in many years. Everything was to noch. Wioth some many covers/tables, I dont know how they do it. There are 3+ bars too so waiting for a table is just as nice as eating at one. A definte must eat while in Austin.
Be the first to ReplyNever disappoints, sat at the new bar area outside ..quiet and great service
Scampi not to be missed , yellowtail And the Greek salad was delish..epitome of Mediterranean diet . This is my my fave restaurant and I try to always stop in when I am here. Trying to use their online ordering system for pick up Or door dash is rubbish. Never works or they turn it off because too busy? Not sure . Regardless ..make it a point to eat here . The best
Be the first to ReplyWas a must try!
We were lucky enough to get a last minute reservation here thanks to the manager. We had this spot on our list with only a limited time in Austin. The entire place is gorgeous. The atmosphere is amazing with both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and it was during a cold front but they have heaters and it was so cozy. Our drinks were so delicious and the food was amazing. The chicken, the lamb, the shrimp, were perfect. And our apps were so tasty! I can see why this place is so hyped up! Feels like fine dining and the prices were so reasonable.

Aba is one of those rare restaurants that are able to perfectly combine the food and the ambiance. Event though I just had a few appetizers, I cannot say enough about the service and the quality of everything I ate. Go!
Be the first to ReplyDelicious and unique
Really delicious… lemon jam carrots, striped bass, kabobs & raw tuna all passed muster. The garlic hummus was spectacular. And every desert was worth having again. The Service was really good, very thoughtful in asking us -premptively-about food allergies and choices. Plenty of choices for vegetarians.

Be the first to ReplyFood Coma
Had brunch at amazing Aba. Really in a food coma now. Loved the classic hummus with fresh pita. Whipped feta with pistachio was ok, for what it is nothing more can be done with that. Absolutely lovely grilled Halloumi.. I mean it’s phenomenal.. crisped potato was not worth it. Loved the Hill County old fashioned.

We came here for lunch as a large group celebrating a bachelorette. Service was great. Food was also quite good. Comfortable patio seating. Well decorated.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful vegetarian options!
I stopped in & ordered take out. The bartender was great & very helpful with menu recommendations. I ordered artichoke hummus, charred eggplant and grilled halloumi & vegetable kebobs, chocolate cake and an unplugged zero proof cocktail. Everything was delicious and traveled well as take out. It is a pretty busy place, I would recommend reservations if you want to dine. The free parking along Congress was great too! I would definitely eat here again!

This is a must when in Austin. The menu is amazing with all different types of Mediterranean dishes. We had a great waitress who made the meal even more enjoyable. She had great recommendations and didn’t try to push anything on us.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful experience!
We couldn't get a reservation, so we risked walk-up, and we got a table -- they said they needed it back in an hour, so we passed that along to the server and worked together to make it happen. The food is absolutely incredible, I love the vibe of the interior, and the "sharing" process really worked for everyone in our party. Perfect meal, great night!
