Aba - Chicago (IL)

5 /5 Jessica Lawson: Aba is delightful! I enjoyed everything from the entrance to the service and the vibes. Olivia was our server and her recommendations were spot on. She took care of the table’s allergies without hesitation and was super friendly and attentive. I ordered steak frites, mushroom hummus, and the “Say Less” mocktail. I would come back and order the exact same thing tomorrow as long as Olivia is my server. Outstanding all around! Compliments to the chef!

5 /5 joseph gallina: Aba is hands down the best Mediterranean spot Ive ever gone to. Ive traveled all over Israel, Lebanon, Greece, and Cyprus, eating everything from street food to hidden gems, and this place tops it all.We went once for dinner, loved it so much we came back next day for brunch. Service was spot on—super friendly staff that made it feel chill. Presentation was art on the plate and tasted otherworldly. The vibe was upscale but relaxed, just elite. Presentation and interior were breathtaking. Chicago folks, get to Aba. 5 stars no question.

5 /5 Alexander Fletcher: Through and through this is a 5 star joint. The food is incredible, well plated and paired incredibly well with the bottle of orange wine. The garlic hummus is a must try, the pita was fresh, and the steak frites was cooked to perfect temperature. This is a must visit place for me everytime I’m in Chicago. Make sure to make a reservation, but if not, put in your name and go down the street to grab a drink, this spot is well worth the wait! A bit on the pricier side, but the food is definitely worth the cost! Great place for a business meal, or just to try out some small plates with your buddies!

5 /5 Rachel: Perfect date night spot on a Saturday. I somehow got lucky the morning of to get a resy. Lexi was our server and she was absolutely amazing! I would want her again when we come back! She provided great recommendations, had wonderful etiquette, and even packed up our food for us. She went above and beyond! The food came out HOT and was absolutely delicious! Were mainly vegetarians but do enjoy seafood from time to time, and the scallops were perfectly charred and paired so well with the corn base. We ordered the wild mushroom humus, holiday item that featured potato pancakes, grilled cauliflower kebab, hokkaido scallops, and pistachio frozen greek yogurt. Everything was fantastic and Im already thinking about when well be back. The atmosphere is nice with great music. Highly recommend when youre in Chicago!

5 /5 Kristie Ang: Absolutely stunning restaurant! From the lush greenery and chic Mediterranean vibe to the warm, sun-drenched patio, Aba feels like a little coastal escape in the city. Truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Chicago. Every dish was incredible — the Shawarma-spiced skirt steak & eggs was bursting with flavor, the Short Rib Shakshuka had just the right touch of spice and comfort, and the charred eggplant was smoky perfection. The truffled salmon and hamachi with charred avocado were fresh, light, and perfectly balanced. And don’t even get me started on the crème brûlée pie — absolutely to die for!
