Third year in a row I chose to take my friends out to celebrate my birthday at Aba. It is my favorite restaurant anywhere! And it never disappoints! Consistently wonderful attentive service and amazingly delicious food!

I rarely complain but my dining experience at Aba was disenchanting. My husband and I chose Aba for my birthday dinner. The service was cold and slow. We waited 10 minutes just for water and throughout the dinner our server just sparingly attended us. He seemed to be focused on the large party tables more, including a private dining party. Our special occasion was never acknowledged and our dessert order even had to be placed with the bussboy. While there maybe many factors into our experience, the simple details placed on our reservation were missed.

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Aba. Last year, I had an amazing time and was looking forward to sharing that with my guests from California. Unfortunately, this visit was nothing like before. The service was extremely rude, and to make it worse, our food came out over an hour late. When it finally arrived, one of the dishes even had a piece of hair in it — completely unacceptable for any restaurant, let alone one of Aba's reputation. Despite all of this, we still ordered $252 worth of food and tipped $50 out of respect for the staff, but honestly, the experience didn't warrant it. This was supposed to be a special night, but it ended up being disappointing and embarrassing in front of my guests. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because Aba is capable of so much better — I know, because I've experienced it before.

Lovely atmosphere and great service. Unique dishes, vegan and vegetarian options in shareable portions that are delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try some more!

The food is excellent, and service excellent, drinks and wine delicious.
Aba brings in a warm Mediterranean ambiance with its culinary delights. Options may be slightly limited if you are vegetarian. Their salads, colds and hot mezzo are totally worth it!

One of the most beautiful and delicious restaurants I’ve ever been to! Can’t wait to go back to Chicago to visit again!
My husband and I recently visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. We waited an incredibly long time for our main dish, only to discover it had been brought to the wrong table. In the meantime, they served us a side of crispy potatoes separately, which made no sense without the main course. After waiting 20 more minutes, the service remained terrible.
The waiter (I didn’t catch his name) on Sunday evening (10/20) was completely inattentive. He never checked on us during the whole situation with the missing dish. When he finally returned, it was to bring out a birthday “compliment”—frozen yogurt with a candle. We were sitting outside, and because it was windy, the candle wouldn’t stay lit. After a few failed attempts to light it, the waiter passed the lighter to my husband with a casual “Good luck with it,” then walked away!
I never expected such poor service from a restaurant like this. It was disappointing and frustrating, and we won’t be returning.
