    Aba never disappoints! We visited for dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks, and overall experience. The service was spot on, with our server offering excellent suggestions that helped us with our meal selection. The ambiance was, as always, lovely and welcoming. The steak frites, garlic hummus, and brisket hummus were the highlights of the evening. Another wonderful experience at Aba, and we look forward to coming back!

    Wow! 5 stars all around. Our waiter was just so incredible - hand wrote on the menu which items to avoid and which could be modified based on an allergy that one of our party members had. He recommended such good dishes and even customized a little meal for the baby that was with us. Seriously, he is impeccable at his job. The food and drinks were 10/10. So fresh, such great flavours and beautiful presentation. Will be dreaming about the guacamole for months!

    We made a reservation a couple weeks in advance for two since it was my fiancés birthday. When they checked our reservation and saw birthday, they immediately started to make the night amazing. Everyone was telling him happy birthday. We received a full class of my fiancé’s choice, a free full cheesecake, and they even gave us two tickets to the Austin Film Festival. Our plain fries did take over 50 minutes to get to us, but I genuinely would still go back every week. I didn’t catch his name unfortunately, but the guy who seemed to be a manager was incredible. He genuinely made this experience magical for my fiance. He even played happy birthday over the sound system for him. 10/10 recommend this place.
