Loved their twist on Mediterranean cuisine. The short rib hummus is a great example. The grilled chicken kebabs and skirt steak were both excellent too, with good attention to tasty sauces. We weren’t as impressed with their pita bread. Have had much better. But overall, excellent meal in a stunning environment with attentive service.

Excellent!! I’ve been to this Aba location a few times and the Chicago location numerous times. Last night, the food was outstanding!! The Crispy Short Rib Hummus is always a must have. The Brussels Sprouts were amazing! And the Hamachi and Avocado crudo was delicious! Our server, Junior was also very personable and made great suggestions. One of my most memorable experiences at an Aba! My only complaint would be the bussing staff was not so quick to remove things or refill water, etc. But overall a great evening!!
