A beautiful spot in the night, it was sundown and it was a bit warm outside so we dressed appropriately for the climate and for dinner. I think that place is well thought out and calculated cause where I was sitting them fans was hitting me like if t
Sooo goodd.
I got the salmon and it was great, perfectly seasoned and the hummus and pita was super good, they gave us two baskets of bread. I definitely want to go back and try more items from the menu. The place is so cute, so many lights and it's super l
Atmosphere was very nice.
..more so outdoors than in. The food was pretty good, if overpriced. My main complaint is is the expense of parking. When I called to ask the best place to park, I was told that if I parked in the Music Lane garage, I could get parking validation fro

I'm not quite sure how they did it, but Aba transported me and my fellow diners from the concrete jungle to a luscious jungle retreat, with a bit of Miami social club vibe. First and foremost I want to complement and thank the staff. Monica, on

One of the harder restaurants in Austin to snag a reservation but worth a try at least once. Definitely an aesthetic decorated restaurant located on SoCo. Food was tasty with a variety of options from short rib hummus to falafel to chicken/lamb dis

I was excited to come back to Aba but the food wasn't as good as I remember. The short rib hummus was good but a bit too salty, same for the braised short ribs. The meat melts in my mouth. It was juicy and tender, but too salty. Halibut was dec

Flew in and out of Austin just to have dinner here last week because we missed it. It is an absolutely gorgeous space, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and an indoor/outdoor bar. Service is great. I have no idea what they could possibly be doing
What a great place with indoor and outdoor seating.
Wonderfully friendly staff and the food was outstanding. Nice twist on all the classics like Hummus and Baba ganouge. Price was not too bad. About $150 for 3 people with no alcohol. Absolutely worth it for the quality of food.

Aba is that girl of Austin restaurants! From the moment you walk into the lush patio with twinkle lights and greenery everywhere, it feels like you've been transported to a chic vacation spot in the Mediterranean--but with a splash of Austin coo
oh my- this place is amazing.

So so good!! Love the ambience with a Palm Springs/Miami vibe. We sat outside and there was a nice little breeze. We ordered the favorites dips what where soooooo delicious. We had the green falafel - it had a little kick to it and just as amazing.
If Pinterest were a restaurant, it would be Aba.
Super cute, super aesthetic, and somehow makes you feel cooler just for eating there. The dips? Life-changing. I would fight someone for the last bite of the red pepper dip or short rib hummus. The kabob plates? Delicious. The desserts? Don't ev

I only have something to say about this place: WAO! This is such a high quality and delicious Mediterranean food, that every minute of the wait time was worth it. This place is great to go to share different plates with people. Do not go here if you

The best period it checks all the boxes for a top priority visit when in atx. Ambiance and vibe is top notch and service can get busy bc it's soo popular . The short rib hummus almost took me out bc it was so heavenly. We just had appetizers .
Now this place was amazing.
Nice establishment. The ambience was great. The service. The food was amazing and I just had appetizers and I was delighted by it. Definitely a place. I will return when in Texas and try their lunch or dinner, but just with the appetizers I was fulfi
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

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 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
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

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
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.

The salmon kabobs were on point. I loved how they seasoned things to a T.

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
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,

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,

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

Good place
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
Beautiful atmosphere
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
Modern, buzzy venue with fab food and a great vibe
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
Great ambiance, food was just ok and service was ok too.
I may come back but it will definitely not be my first choice.
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
* EternalAnt36, 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.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 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 EternalAnt36 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, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36'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.
