Aba is a beautiful restaurant with a modern and quaint vibe. There’s both indoor and outdoor seating, and we chose to sit outside. It was very cozy and the temperature was perfect. It was a great spot to relax and enjoy the evening. The service was very friendly and attentive. We only had drinks and dessert. The menu is somewhat …
Go for the outdoor seating, it’s shaded. It’s a great atmosphere. Superb drinks and food! Highly recommend the Short Rib Hummus! My server paid great attention to my food allergy and was able to suggest alternatives. It’s shareable serving sizes. Can’t wait to visit again!!
I’m so delighted I got to finally try Ava Austin on a whim. I had it on my “to go to” bucket list for about 6 months. I was in Austin for a Texas REALTORS conference and some friends invited me to join. I’m so glad I did. Upon seating, our server expressed it’s a California Lebanese fusion. She was …
Aba absolutely blew me away! Every bite bursts with bold, vibrant Mediterranean flavors from the creamy hummus to perfectly roasted veggies and juicy, tender meats. The atmosphere is chic, lively, and effortlessly fun, making it perfect for a date night or night out with friends. Service was friendly and attentive, adding to an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to go …
I’m pretty sure this is one of the trendier restaurants in Austin, and the interior proves it—beautifully designed with a warm, modern Mediterranean feel that makes you want to linger. The menu has a wide range of spreads and entrées. We kept it light this time with chicken kebab, crispy potatoes, and traditional hummus. Everything was delicious and the hummus …

The day light made everything perfect! Our waitress was Jeniffer she is amazing and show love and very knowledgeable. She even offered us a blanket!
Aba is the more nearly version of Ema. The dishes and service were exquisite. Came here twice in one week and I don’t regret it at all. The brisket hummus had more meat than hummus. It was amazing, so savory and wonderful. The labneh is sweeter, but a great starter. So fresh and fun. The pork belly was savory and …
Aba was absolutely amazing!! From the cool vibe and decor, to the exceptional staff, and most importantly the stellar food and cocktails! It is a tapas style restaurant so we were able to try multiple dishes and each one was delicious. Our favorites were the branzino, the lamb kebab, and the falafel. Definitely give this place a try and be …
Visiting from SF and came here for a friend's birthday lunch!! We were lucky and got seated immediately outside, which was shaded and still very comfortable, even on a hot day. This place was SPECTACULAR; I'm always a little skeptical of places with a lot of hype, but Aba truly delivered on every expectation. We ordered the whipped feta, brussel …
Aba Austin made for such a great date night. We got on the list for the main restaurant but after visiting the outdoor bar, directly across the walkway, we decided to post up there. Reason, my wife and I weren’t exactly met with warmth by the three hostesses, but we were eager to try the restaurant and discovered that adjacent …
