- KKalyanAustin •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe recently had friends visiting us from Boston, and we decided to take them to Aba for Saturday brunch. Let me just say—what an incredible experience! We made reservations ahead of time, and everything from start to finish exceeded our expectations. We ordered nearly everything from the brunch menu, including dips and hot mezzes, and every single dish was an absolute delight. Everything came out fresh and tasted phenomenal. The muhammara and burnt garlic hummus were crowd favorites. The falafel and Brussel sprouts were made to perfection. The desserts were equally impressive—the sticky date cake was an absolute star, and the cheesecake with its delicate puff pastry crust on top was unforgettable. Although the interior ambiance was exquisite, we opted to sit outside by the bar due to the size of our party and the perfect weather, which added to the charm of the experience. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and courteous, enhancing the overall great vibe of the place. Aba truly delivered a memorable dining experience. If you’re in town, this place is a must-visit! Delicious food, excellent service, and an all-around amazing brunch spot. Five stars all the way!More infoAba - AustinPrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• East Austin•4.8
