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!

While the menu appears delicious, the dishes fell flat. Hard. That’s not to say that they were bad, but they lacked flavor and inspiration (or execution possibly). In addition, the service was both slow and inattentive. The staff was polite, but they missed numerous service opportunities. Overall, the ambiance is great, and this restaurant has the potential for improvement.
