We had a wonderful dinner at this new restaurant in Orleans!Menu is lighter fare of tapas style food from numerous countries around the world. The Ceviche was delicious as was the Cod and potato stuffed scallion pancake. Excellent wait staff and cozy eclectic atmosphere! Highly recommend to people with an adventurous, discerning palate!

Great food and cocktails. Something different for the Cape. Check it out!

Diverse and well-executed menu. Small portions for the area (not a negative). Ordered for takeaway but my interaction with the staff was very positive. Only negatives were a very tasteless Thai iced tea (tasted like only milk, no tea or sugar!) and the skewers were dry. Bun cha, poke, scallion pancakes, and hummingbird cake were terrific.

Friendly, delicious food, great atmosphere. Fun how portions and prices are small so you can try a lot of things while you're there.

Food was good but portions were very very small. A bit too expensive and the thai iced tea was a bit tasteless. They up charge for plain white rice

Excellent atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food!

Totally snobby and rude hosting service. They rush you through your meal so they could get more people in. No wonder they closed.

ABBA IS CLOSED WITH A FOR SALE SIGN ON IT.....as in not closed for the season....completely closed. Hope some new good restaurant takes the space...back in the day it was The Brown Bag before ABBA.

I have loved ABBA and have loved it more and more and with the addition of lunch was such a treat! As a vegan I was alway so impressed with the options and amazing flavor. The service and ambiance was always delightful! Thank you for years amazing food, service and great times! If you'd like more info...their Facebook page is up-to-date with information on further projects! I look forward to seeing what they are up to next. Boy, will I miss the vegan Pad Thai, fennel salad, beet app, hummus and so much more! Thank you again ABBA!

Went in August and heard nice things. I will say the food was good. Ordered Humis, eggplant and fennel appetizers. Good but very small. Did not want to eat like a nomadic tribesman (with my fingers!) so asked for bread. $9 for three pieces of Pita! REALLY? A Middle Eastern restaurant and you have to pay for Pita? Maybe the second order of bread but I can't recall having to pay for bread at a $$$ joint. Appetizers arrived before the drinks,eh! Service was ok, but as soon as mentioned paying for Pita, it went downhill. Had the Tuna, very good but I thought it too was and appetizer. For $40 ya figure you might get more than a mouthful. Don't bother asking to speak to the owner he's got a chip on his shoulder. I don't often write this stuff but I had to share this. Have fanily in the indusrty and know what's good and what isn't. If your still hungry, there's a Brew Pup next door.
First thing I said when I sat down to eat at the cozy bar was, "this reminds me of a grotto bar in the Pyrenees!" The bartender from Montenegro was warm and attentive! The local mussels and their sauce were excellent, and also the normal size that I prefer; the imported ones from PEI are usually too tiny. A focaccia bread was served warm - was more like a normal soft loaf, but I devoured it. We also had the octopus dish wish was special but there was just a small amount mixed in with the pasta and veggies. Then we also shared the sampler plate of delicious eggplant and olives, and a few other items I can't remember -but I'd have the same dinner again regularly!

Had a nice lunch here. Food was excellent, very nice presentation. Took quite a while from order to getting our food, we felt a bit abandoned during the 30 minute wait

Don't zoom by this place! We had a beautiful lunch in this unique restaurant on Cape. Unusual but delicious dishes ( I had the schwarma chicken), sooo fresh ingredients, pleasant and timely service, and an excellent wine list! Pricey? A little, but worth it!

Abba is my favorite restaurant. I have not had a dish I wasn't pleased with! Their pad Thai is to die for, and I'm quite partial to their spring rolls. The chef is also magical when it comes to any fish dish. This restaurant is definitely worth your time.

Restaurants on Cape Cod aren’t under much pressure to be all that good. They tend to range from greasy to exaggerated up-scale. Some have big reputations but inconsistent performance ABBA is the exception. We’ve eaten there many times but mostly Labor Day weekends when staff heads back to school or visas expire. But without fail, the food, service and overall experience has been very good. Never perfect but we haven’t found that restaurant yet
