Aba Austin Reviews from The Last Year
Aba - Local Favorite Mediterranean
As a long time Austinite, Aba is a local favorite. Not only because the food is so incredibly fresh and delicious, but the vibe is so good. Especially the outdoor seating with the decking built around old, existing trees that are strung with lights. It's beautiful, romantic and such a great place to pass the time by with a loved one or friends and family. Last time I went with friends to catch up, lunch turned to dinner as we were there for over six hours, enjoying the food, vibes and plenty of champagne ๐ฅ๐พโค
Aba Gift Cards are a scam
Do not buy a gift card from Aba. It is a scam. We were gifted a gift card that my mom purchased from Aba's website. The staff acted strange when we told them we had a gift card and suggested we purchased it from a fake discounted website, though it was purchased from Aba's website and we had multiple emails to verify. We've lived in Austin for a long time and were excited about this special experience. It ended up being very embarrassing and we were disappointed that the staff was not more accommodating or willing to help. We will not be back.
Aba is one of the best restaurants in any place anywhere!
Aba is one of the best restaurants in any place anywhere! My bestie and I went for my birthday and enjoyed every second of the experience...The service is 5 stars, the ambiance is 5 starts (beautiful plants, lights, scents and decore are intentionally placed), and the food! Where do I begin? The food is flavorful, fresh, beautiful, light, and absolutely delicious! 10 stars for the food.
Fabulous vibe!!! Indoor or outdoor.
Delicious salads, dips, HOT PITA, great cocktails. Fun and festive! Great service! Loved it!
Love Aba! The food is always great.
I am the whipped feta and the short rib hummus are excellent starts. We also love the yellowtail crudo. I think we have had every main dish on the menu and they have all been delicious. Honey Pie and Greek yogurt ice cream with olive oil are a great way to end the meal. The wine list features wines from Mediterranean countries and we like to try something new every time. The staff and the bartenders really know their stuff. Great Vibe. Super fun girls night out or date night.
Great food and pretty atmosphere.
I like to get a hummus and share some whipped feta. The staff are also great and accommodating. They made me a mock tale that wasn't on the menu.
We traveled to Austin from Indiana last month.
This was by far the best meal we had in Austin. Everything was incredible but the short rib hummus was out of this world. Our service was top notch. Garrett was one of the best severs we've had in ages. Kind, funny, attentive, and full of wonderful recommendations. He also didn't push us to order more than we needed to feel comfortably full. Although after our appetizer I was ready to order the whole menu! I'm counting down the days until our next Chicago trip to check out the Aba there. It will be hard to be the beautiful patio in Austin though.
Aba is definitely on my list of my top 5 favorite
Aba is definitely on my list of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Austin! So good! The whipped feta.. drooling now. The staff is always so nice and welcoming and the service is always of quality. Not to mention the ambiance.. what a vibe. Still have yet to sit outside though. This place of course is always packed!!
Best dining experience in Austin.
Food and wine off the hook! Just tricky to get in on short notice for business travel.
Perfect combination of ambience, food and service.
... Loved everything from the cocktails to the main course.
Every TikTok recommended this place, friends raved about
Every TikTok recommended this place, friends raved about it, and reviews were stellar, so I was very hopeful for some delicious food. However, I was let down. Our waiter, Justin, was the friendliest person ever and was attentive. The food came out quickly, and the restaurant is super pretty, but the food was mediocre, and I wouldn't recommend for people to be spending their money here. My favorite was the muhamarra from the sampler spread platter we got. It was sweet and savory from the roasted peppers, and I'm drooling thinking about it. In addition, the famous brussel sprouts were decent. They were super crispy but soft on the inside, but they were a bit too charred for me. It would've been okay if there was more sweetness or citrus to balance it out, there was some from the harissa honey, just not enough. The two entrees were extremely disappointing. The Crispy Heirloom Chicken Thigh wasn't crispy at all, and the sauce was way too oily to be enjoyable. The Roasted Pork Belly was super soft, tender, and melted in your mouth due to how much fat it had, however, the cider jus didn't taste like much, and the spaghetti squash and honeycrisp apples were just there. The Sticky Date Cake is the best thing this restaurant has, and if you do happen to come here, this is a must order. The cake was soft and a little crispy on the outside, and the whipped cream was so fluffy. At least we ended lunch on a good note.
BETTER THAN THE BEST SELLING GROUP ABBA.
We visited here, for my Boyfriend's birthday, we were on holiday travelling from the UK. When researching where to book for restaurants, this place just kept coming up, so we booked it hoping it would live up to the hype, spoiler... it did! First impressions of the place were amazing, we were sat outside and the temperature was just perfect, we were already transported to a meddeteration vibe before we'd even ordered the food. I hope I rememberer his name correctly, but we were served by Joseph who gave us next level service, I'm not sure if this was because of my boyfriends birthday, but nevertheless, we couldn't fault him, he was so good at taking us through the menu and explaining everything, he was so much fun. We ordered the Lamb and Beef Kefta, The truffle baked orzo (A MUST!), and the whipped feta spread, paired perfectly with the fresh bread basket. We also ordered an Espresso Martini and a Carajillo, which were delicious, and were a life saver with the jet lag we had. Our server also organised a surprise little birthday cake with a candle, (we think it was the sticky date cake) which went down a treat. (a note to any soho house members, Soho House Austin is just next door for a cheeky pre-dinner cocktail!) All in all, we would love to go back, and this was such a special romantic dinner for my boyfriends birthday, worth the hype!
What a wonderful surprise! Not gonna lie, we needed the
What a wonderful surprise! Not gonna lie, we needed the restroom so we decided to have a drink at the outside bar. The bartender was friendly and made the most amazing Hill Country Old Fashioned. Amazing. It was a perfect place to sit, relax and enjoy a drink.
Aba is just incredible.
It's the best Mediterranean food in Austin (and dare I say the best in the US) everytime I am just blown away by how good the food is. It is pricey, but the experience is well worth it. We go ham on the apps to share everything family style. We ordered the Japanese Sweet Potato hummus, the truffle baked orzo, the potatoes, the green falafels, their heirloom salad and the Chicken Kabab. This was plenty of food for 3 people and we had enough leftovers for the next day. Every single dish is a 10/10. You must get the sticky Date Cake because it's so good. Every time someone is coming in from out of town I make sure to take them here!
Super chic and cute spot to get a drink when it's hot! I
Super chic and cute spot to get a drink when it's hot! I loved everything about the service the space and the drinks. For happy hour they have some great deals. The patio area is so great and covered from the sun and the bar is so modern.
Awful service
The service has been consistently bad our last few visits and last night was the final straw. Itโs a pity as the food is good but bad service is turn off and not worth the trouble. I spoke to manager and received a polite, but highly vacuous response. We were so relieved to leave the restaurant (the delays to the food were so long that we almost felt trapped) and will not be returning, ever.
A โrawโ experience
Crowded and noisy to start. Great menu and the roasted potatoes are clearly the best dish on the menu. Stick to those veggie options to share. The salmon was dry, tasty but dry. The lamb chops, though ordered medium, were raw inside; not rare. Not an inexpensive meal and maybe a place to forget.
The Hype is REAL!
I had HIGH expectations for Aba after all the hype I heard and Iโm happy to say that it still blew me away with immaculate ambiance, delicious food, and stellar service! Be prepared to eat your body weight in pita bread if you order any of the hummus or spreads because once you have one bite, you canโt stopโฆ itโs that amazing (and unlimited)! Definitely try to book a reservation pretty far in advance if you can (and consider making a second reservation while youโre at it because youโll immediately want to come back). SERVICE - The hostesses were very welcoming and pleasantโฆ we got a text 15 minutes before our reservation time saying our table was ready and we got seated as soon as we arrived. Morgan was a fantastic waitressโฆ she was super personable, checked on us frequently to make sure we had what we needed, and gave her opinion on food options when we asked (we ordered the Sticky Date Cake for dessert at her recommendation and it was just as amazing as she described). PRICE - I went into this meal thinking the menu seemed a little pricey BUT after seeing the portion sizes and tasting the items we ordered, I think the price point is extremely reasonable! WHIPPED FETA (10/10) - I couldnโt help but smile after every single bite of this! It has almost a cream cheese texture but a strong feta taste and the crushed pistachio on top pairs with it perfectly! Plus, the pita bread that comes with it is bottomless and is PHENOMENAL! The seasoning on the pita bread has almost a pizza flavor and the overall thickness and texture of the bread was exactly what I love for pita. This is a must order! CRISPY SHORT RIB W/ HUMMUS (10/10) - We had heard great things about this hummus but werenโt sure if we wanted to get it in addition to the whipped feta but Iโm SO glad we got both! This is my favorite hummus Iโve ever hadโฆ the sherry and beef jus smack you in the mouth with flavor and there was tons of short rib! โCrispyโ is the perfect description because it was tender and easy to pull apart into small pieces but still maintained a crispy texture on the outside. Just like the whipped feta, it comes with bottomless pita bread and is a must order! LAMB & BEEF KEFTA KEBAB (5/10) - This was the one disappointmentโฆ the kefta were pretty dry and lacking flavor. Especially after taking a bite of the short rib hummus and then taking a bite of this, it was night and day. The basmati rice and veggies on the side (cucumber, tomato, and red onion) were food but nothing special. The highlight was the small side of tzatziki, but overall my mouth was pretty sad while eating this. I wouldnโt get it again. GREEN FALAFEL (7/10) - I love falafel and these had a great level of spice and seasoning. They were super crispy on the outside without being oily and the tzatziki and tahini underneath added some great flavor as well. No specific complaints, it just didnโt knock my socks off. BRUSSELS SPROUTS (8/10) - I get Brussels sprouts pretty often at restaurants and these were very good! The harissa honey added a nice sweetness but there wasnโt any heat and the almond and cashew dukkah added a nice textural element throughout. Looking at them, I expected a little more crunchโฆ they looked crispy but were on the softer side. If these were a little more crispy and had a slight heat, Iโd give them a 10/10. STICKY DATE CAKE (10/10) - I almost always go for chocolate desserts but we asked our waitress for her preference between the Sticky Date Cake and the Chocolate Chocolate Cake and she immediately replied that the Sticky Date Cake was one of her favorite desserts ever so we followed her recommendation. After taking one bite, my thoughts were โchocolate, who?โโฆ my tastebuds were doing a big happy dance because this was INCREDIBLE! The actual texture of the date cake was perfectโฆ caramelized and crispy on top but then soft underneath. The whipped cream on the side was super light and had a great level of sweetness while the whisky caramel sauce made me want to lick the plate clean. I will order this every time I come! Itโs hard for a hyped-up restaurant to impress me but Aba nailed it from start to finish! As soon as I got home, I was looking at the brunch menu and planning my next trip!
No more shrimp ?! What
Race cocktail was fun today .. but we were seated in the breezeway.. when I make a reservation, seat me under the tree please.. my very favorite dish in all of Austin is the shrimp from Aba. I adore this dish and they have gotten rid of it in the last month!! ..gosh.. I just donโt know why that would happen. I bring anyone who visits here.. of course the mezze and the kabobs and yellowtail , Greek salad.. all good..but that shrimp scampi served in an escargot type plate w breadcrumbs and butter ..itโs amazing. I may boycott for a while just for this .sorry Aba but that just not ok. Tried the crab dip..nope not even close . So I will chicken carage at Loro and panzanella salad at Red ash when they re open.. and even get shrimp scampi from North Italia and soup dumpling at Lin and Wi, oyster at Perlaโs and Clarkes while I consider if I can forgive the chef at Aba .tear
Great special occasion spot
This was a fun, special occasion, ladies lunch spot - a little pricier than I'd normally choose & love. The atmosphere & service were great. The food was fantastic. We enjoyed the lunch dip sampler appetizer and got two kabobs to share amongst 3 adults. The chicken kabob in particular was flaky and absolutely delicious.
Fantastic restaurant on South Congress
The food is amazing with a fantastic atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor. Celebrated my birthday here with girlfriends, and everything was simply delicious. Don't miss the unique yogurt dessert!
Worth the Wait โฆ Great Dining Experience โฆ
Ate dinner here last night with my wife. Well worth the wait of an hour, having put our name on the waiting list at 5 PM. It has taken us a year to get here, and wow, really special place and meal! Had drinks while we waited. Great people watching! Drinks were pricey, but typical Austin upscale prices really, and delicious. One of the best martinis Iโve had in years. Seated outside for dinner by a beautiful oak tree. Even though Austin is oppressively hot right now, it was pleasantly cool enough while we ate dinner. Our server, KJ, see picture, was excellent. Made excellent recommendations, was friendly and attentive, and definitely added to an altogether. Fantastic dining experience. We had the brisket hummus with cruditรฉs and gluten-free chips. I hesitate to use the word outstanding, but itโs accurate. The sashimi yellowtail was world-class. Fresh tasting with a little citrus kick Delicious and refreshing. Brussels sprouts were way up the list of best in Austin. For the entree, had the salmon kebab, which was an aA+ plus dish, nice portion of salmon, which was perfectly grilled and moist. Also had some type of cheese kebab that was grilled. The cheese was delicious in terms of the first bite, but you need to eat it while itโs still (delivery) hot or it becomes pretty ordinary. A truly great meal. This restaurant should have a higher rating in my opinion The ambience, service and, food were all top-notch. Not inexpensive, but well worth it! We will definitely be back. Soon. Thanks KJ, for a great dining experience! The underground parking is challenging, overly crowded, and $20 by the time youโre done with dinner. Donโt let that be a buzz kill, although it is an added expense.
Great casual restaurant with delicious food and amazing service
We went to Aba restaurant for our wedding anniversary lunch and absolutely loved it. Everything from the exterior decor, to friendly welcoming hostess ( we had a reservation for 2 pm, but came earlier around 12 pm and even though they were supper busy they sat us at a table immediately no questions asked). The food was delicious, we had the lunch special platter as well as the lamb/beef kofta kabobs followed by a halva desert. The food is fresh and makes you want more. The cocktails from the bar were right on point as well. The waitress was very knowledgeable and friendly. We truly enjoyed eating at Aba, highly recommend it and will come back for sure!
Happy 4th lunch ..shrimp and kebab and orzo yum
We never miss Aba when we are in town .. love the shrimp and yellowtail and mezze Trio ..tried lamb kebab and new tomato orzo today.. delish. Wonderful sitting outdoors before too hot ..only negative was a terrible rude inconsiderate couple w 2 poor dog citizens who barked whole time. Spoiled a perfect environment for everyone else there . Management should have reseated them or excused them โฆnot fair to everyone else enjoying such a beautiful Time . There were 3 other dogs there who were perfect/silent . We often bring our pup to outside venues because he is well trained. Like childrenโฆwell behaved dogs and littles should come along and enjoy .. poorly behaved ones should stay home so mom and dad can enjoy themselves w other adults doing the same . We all work too hard to go out and enjoy ourselves to have to endure your poor manners

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been โmatchedโ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
