Aba Chicago Reviews
This place will always be a 10 no matter what time of day.
I came for brunch and tried the SHORT RIB SHAKSHUKA, a garlic hummus with garlic naan, brussel sprouts, and hamachi. Everything was tasty. I will continue to come back. Service was excellent as usual. We sat outside on the patio and it was lovely. D
Amazing pita bread.
Super moody lighting and beautiful atmosphere. Food was delicious. We were seated at a corner table and while the vibe was lively, we could still hear each other and have easy conversation. Would have loved to have ice water instead of room temp wat

This restaurant space is beautiful inside and outside.
The food was amazing. The cauliflower kabob surprised me. The medjool date paired with the onion and cauliflower was delicious together. Our server took care of everything we needed. I would definitely dine here again.

The food was good, but I was definitely here more for the aesthetics. Who doesn't like seeing trees inside? We didn't have a reservation, but you can either get on the waitlist or sit at 1 of their 2 bars (first come, first serve). Oddly
Went here for dinner a few weeks ago.
We sat outdoors where it was much quieter than indoors. Excellent food and service. We will be back.

Gorgeous interior and good vibes in the rooftop.
Some of the best pita in the city and love the whipped feta. Unfortunately service was a bit slow when I went for brunch.

Such a vibe! Great place for a date night with the people you love. Drinks were made very well. The food came out sizzling hot. We had a few apps and a few entree and all were 10/10. Portion size was fair.
Lovely brunch spot located within Fulton Market.
Be sure to take the elevator to the third floor. Wide open space dining indoor and al fresco. Be sure to schedule a reservation ahead as they tend to get packed on the weekend. We had a nice balance of entrees and libations (pictures attached). The v

Every time I've gone to Aba, the service has been amazing.
The staff is always welcoming and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. They do take walk-ins, but I definitely recommend making a reservation if you don't want to wait since it's usually busy. The dips are the highlight

Aba means "father" in Hebrew, and the restaurant lives up to the name with food that's confident, comforting, and memorable. If your father was not like that, maybe you can relate to Rodney Dangerfield's memory of his father...&qu

Come and drop a bunch of money on a delicious meal. It's worth it. Not overrated. It was so good I'm literally going to pass away

Went here for a girls night, and we were very impressed! The ambiance is dimly lit, cozy, yet sophisticated vibe. Our waiter was helpful in describing the menu items. Our favorites were the pita (so soft and fluffy), hummus, and crème brûlée pie.

This restaurant is very beautiful, especially the outdoor seating is amazing. Service could have been better, we almost finished our plates and the kids were still waiting for their food. They had the chicken and rice bowl , which was kind of dry …
Great spot for brunch
Service started a bit slow, but the bar was bustling for Saturday brunch. The chicken kefta was delicious-seasoned just right and comes with rice and tzaztiki. Decor was nice with both indoor and outdoor seating.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE
I had an awful experience with this restaurant. this is the third "lettuce entertain you" restaurant I have been to, and each experience has been worse than the last. My food was overcooked. and the service was bad and slow. I'm pretty
Definitely find this place!!
I did not have a reservation and was short on time so I sat at the bar which I was told had a full menu. My server was quick and attentive. The ice coffee was delicious and very welcome on a 90 degree day. I came for the falafel and ordered the eggpl

Great experience! We had a hard time getting a reservation but it was worth it. A very trendy fun spot. Loved the chicken kebab. We also loved the restaurant week deals
Amazing all around!
Food was insanely good!! Highly recommend the short rib hummus, hamachi, lamb kefta, brussels, halibut, whipped feta, creme brulee pie, date cake. Desserts are decadent and DELICIOUS! Prices are a bit high given that these are small plates, but hones

Excellent food, even better service and reasonable pricing, a very enjoyable experience and one of Chicago's best options.

Aba is a beautiful restaurant with profesional service and amazing food. All their dishes are full of flavor and far from boring. I wish their tables for two were a little bigger though.
My husband and I went to ABA for our wedding anniversary.
The space is beautiful however the host stand forgot who we were and tried to seat us under the wrong name. When they found our reservation they tried to seat us at a table next to the server station/ hall to the bathroom. I told the hostess it was o

Tough to not order everything in the menu.
Great food and our waiter was perfect. Lots of great cocktails to choose from. Beautiful inside.
Indoor garden restaurant 10/10
The interior design was immaculate!!! Also the food was delicious. Glad I stopped by. Definitely need reservations for a table but it’s worth it. It feels like you are sitting in a garden.
Connect with users posting reservations for Aba Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Aba Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Aba Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Aba Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Aba Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Aba Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
