This pleasant and welcoming restaurant has been a favorite of ours since it opened. Food is always tasty and interesting. Drinks are excellent: booze, coffee and hand-squeezed juices. Everyone who has ever waited on us has been lovely! Love that it is locally-sourced organic food. Decor is very natural. Chairs are comfortable and tables not jammed together. We think you'll like it!

Excellent food and great ambience. Service was a little on the slow side particularly since it was not busy. However, we were just hanging out, so it wasn't really an issue. Highly recommended.

This was my second visit to Aba in the week because we were visiting and the food was so fresh and good the first time. All the staff were once again great and the food came out very quick for brunch. Would recommend if you like fresh pita and great dips.
