Food is excellent. Price is reasonable. Like this restaurant b/c of the ambience. Music in the background, but not too loud. Able to have a conversation with our party.

The food is always fabulous! And the atmosphere is a pure delight! The tables are a bit too close together but the seating is comfortable overall. The pita is the absolute best ever!! And the hummus and other spreads are perfect. The brussel sprouts are the most delicious I’ve ever had! And the raw salmon dish with the crispy leeks was incredibly tasty! Love love love this place!!!

First time Aba experience: 1. Restaraunt vibe and decor was amazing. 2. Our server Melissa was very knowlegeable. She asked if it was our first time at Aba. Once she knew we were first timers to Aba she really took her time explain everything. How the menu worked, answered questions about our choices for food and drink. She was absolutely wonderful! 3. Food was absolutely amazing. Pumpkin Hummus, Whipped Feta, Khachapuri, Crispy Potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts. Thank you for a great brunch.. We will be back soon to try the rest of the menu!!
