    Dined at Aba to celebrate a couple of birthdays and Aba did not dissapoint! The food, service and ambience were perfect for our celebration! Our server was outstanding, friendly and attentive. They never skipped a beat with the timing of our dishes and we never felt rushed. The whipped feta was a hit and the lamb chops were to die for. Save room for the sticky date cake...OMG!!! Delicious!

    Our experience at Aba was incredible, all of the food was so fresh and flavorful. Our waiter was so so friendly and even gave us a free app to try. It was a day to celebrate and the experience just made our celebrations 10x’s better. We can’t wait to go back again!

    The service is unmatched, the entire waitstaff team was very attentive, keeping tables clear, food coming out coursed and paying attention to water refills. The food was also delicious and is meant to be shared, family style. My party ordered the falafel, crispy brussel sprouts, mahammara and crispy potatoes to share and we each picked a separate main dish. I had the chicken kefta, served with rice, very delicious. After dinner, we shared a piece of vegan carrot cake and even though I’m not vegan, I would order again. One of the individuals in our party was vegan and the restaurant was very accommodating to their dietary choice. I would definitely return.

    Very hot at the patio. There is no ventilation or air conditioning, that is, a greenhouse.
