    Our experience at Aba was incredible, all of the food was so fresh and flavorful. Our waiter was so so friendly and even gave us a free app to try. It was a day to celebrate and the experience just made our celebrations 10x’s better. We can’t wait to go back again!

    We discovered this amazing restaurant on Google Maps and immediately made a reservation. Let me tell you, it was totally worth the visit! The restaurant boasts a stunning view of the main streets, surrounded by skyscrapers that create a spectacular backdrop. The service was impeccable, with William as our server excelling at his job and even adding a touch of humor to our evening. My filet mignon was cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with charred asparagus. Both my husband and daughter raved about their delicious spaghetti with meatballs, made with the freshest ingredients. Although we planned on indulging in dessert, we were all so full that we decided to save it for our next visit. Yes, we loved it that much! If you ever find yourself in the area, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed!

    All was good! Ordered the pizza. Not sure I’d go back to a place that’s supports Planned Parenthood. The one menu item I wanted donated $1 to PP. disappointing I can’t go out to dinner and enjoy a non political evening
