    Excellent food and great ambience. Service was a little on the slow side particularly since it was not busy. However, we were just hanging out, so it wasn't really an issue. Highly recommended.

    This was my second visit to Aba in the week because we were visiting and the food was so fresh and good the first time. All the staff were once again great and the food came out very quick for brunch. Would recommend if you like fresh pita and great dips.

The ambiance was warm and inviting, with earthy tones and traditional touches that made for a cozy setting. The menu featured a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes, from savory kebabs to tender lamb and perfectly seasoned mezze. The hummus and babaganoush were standout appetizers, while the baklava offered a sweet, rich finish to the meal. Service was attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable.
