Aba Austin Reviews

Food is very good, unfortunately if you sit outside your server is the bartender and he will forget about you. In other words, no refills, long wait and warm food.
I had an amazing meal at Aba.
On a Wednesday night it was pretty crowded - I heard that it can be packed on the weekends. It has a cool layout and seems to be a large footprint, with a choice of outdoors or indoors, and three bar areas and a lower step down dining area. I sat a
Mediocre food and unnecessarily hyped.
I'd agree their ambience and the vibe is good. Their food on the other hand isn't so great. We ordered the chicken kebabs and they felt like they were precooked, reheated and served. They were not fresh out of the oven. They have a very lim

I tried to give them another chance since the first time I went didn't go so well. The service and hostess are just cold and rude. I came here with some girlfriends. FYI, they don't serve happy hour unless you sit at either one of the two

Caveat: dined and drank here as part of a networking event for a conference. The restaurant was closed for this private evening event. Service: excellent service, with wine girls walking around and plenty of buffet-style food available. Food: just

Great ambiance, perfect spot for a casual hangout or dinner with friends. We ordered a variety of small plates. My favorites from small dishes were the smoky garlic, muhammara, ahi tuna, and brussels sprouts -- all packed with flavor and great for s
Such a beautiful space with outdoor/indoor seating.
Everything we had was DELICIOUS. MY favorite was the hummus. I wish we would've gotten the veggies as well. Promptly seated and served.
This review is for Aba in Austin, a Mediterranean fusion
This review is for Aba in Austin, a Mediterranean fusion restaurant that had been on my list for a while, though I hadn't made a point to prioritize it. My boyfriend and I were in the South Congress area on a Sunday looking for brunch, and we in
The food was very tasty and healthy.
The salmon kabobs were on point. I loved how they seasoned things to a T.
I had one of the BEST customer service experiences today.
.. I am traveling today away from Austin... My lovely wife wanted a bowl of the special "MATZO BALL SOUP" that Aba prepared for Rosh Hashana. My wife was unable to drive to the restaurant. I tried to order the soup on line to be delivered,
Fantastic! Top 10 in Austin IMO!

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 restau

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
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

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
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
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,

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 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
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 tabl

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 th

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 enjoye

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 se
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

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 a

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 refresh
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 def

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.
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.
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 a
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.
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

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
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 r
Connect with users posting reservations for Aba Austin
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Aba Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
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
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 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 DistinguishedTree58 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, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58'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.
