Went out for date night tonight and finally scored a seat at ABA! The vibe and atmosphere were honestly perfection. Everything felt light, open, and beautiful and was the perfect setting for a summer evening. As far as parking, they do valet for $15 but there are plenty of paid parking lots in the area. The only downside were the flies. Since the large windows were open, they were pretty noticeable, and it felt like we were swatting them away every few seconds throughout dinner. Our service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even better. We were celebrating my husband's birthday, and they surprised us with their frozen Greek yogurt for dessert. It was absolutely incredible. Honestly, we'd come back just for that! The food was good across the board, but nothing we ordered made us say, "We have to come back for this." That said, we'll definitely return and try different dishes because the menu has so many options. The new poblano hummus was a standout and will absolutely be a repeat order. I also agree with other Yelpers that the whipped feta was a bit too salty for our taste. One thing to know is that the portions are very shareable. Even with just two people, we ended up taking home plenty of leftovers. It's a beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere, wonderful service, and a perfect setting for a date night. We're already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!
Aba has a great atmosphere and a spot I find myself returning to again and again. It's elevated and lively without feeling overly formal and the service has consistently been great! I've worked my way through quite a bit of the menu and my standout favorites are the Greek Vilage salad, which is incredibly fresh and flavorful, the whipped feta and the hot honey halloumi which strikes the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crispy. For dessert my favorite is the sticky date cake (paired with the Frozen greek yogurt!). The menu is designed for sharing and they generally recommend 2-3 plates a person. It's a great place to come with friends or for a date night. They have valet parking available for $12 which is convenient when you can't find parking in the busy WeHo area!
I love the atmosphere of this place. It feels like you are in an outside courtyard with the trees - mostly fake - around the dining area. It is a well put together space. Service is also good. WItha bit of sales training, Marcus could be a star server trainer for the restaurant. Very pleasant demeanor. The food, overall, is great. I found the feta to be uninspired, but the lamb was fantastic. The Haloumi with hot honey is interesting. The kabob was also very nice. As for the drinks, they were fine, but not as memorable as some places we ahve visited. This is a nice spot for a romantic dinner. I will defintely return at some point.
The ambiance is my favorite thing about this place, it's soooo green and vibrant and nice. The short rib hummus is 10/10 a must try. We got the crispy (not crispy at all) chicken thighs (6/10), and the salmon kebab (7/10). Service is great! Would come back for drinks and hummus not entrees.
Came for brunch on Saturday at 11. We lucked out and got a free street parking spot out front, but they do have valet. Service was attentive and kind. The interior was beautiful. The food was ok. We had the sweet potato hummus (really good) and the short rib hummus (unique and good). Everything comes with tons of pita bread that has a great seasoning on it. For an entree we shared the shakshuka and babka French toast. The shakshuka wasn't very good, and I'm usually a fan. This one came with only one egg, and the potatoes were scarce. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. The babka was rich and delicious. The mocktails were the same price as the cocktails, which is surprising. Would I come back? I would. The menu is interesting. But I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.
I've now been to Aba three times for dining (plus once to grab gift cards), and overall the food continues to be solid, though this last visit had a few service hiccups. We ordered quite a spread: green chili shrimp, whipped feta, marinated olives, veggies & feta, muhammara, Brussels sprouts, hot honey halloumi, crispy chicken thighs, beef tenderloin, crispy potatoes, and crab cakes with greens. Our waitress was friendly and repeated our order back to us multiple times, which we confirmed. To start, the muhammara was flavorful with a nice hint of spice, and the whipped feta topped with pistachios was absolutely delightful. The halloumi had a sweet kick--similar to Mike's Hot Honey--and everything paired perfectly with warm pita bread. The crab cakes with greens were also delicious and a great addition to the table. For mains, the crispy chicken thighs were well-seasoned, moist, and served with soft mashed potatoes and peas (though veggies are seasonal). The beef tenderloin was cooked well but slightly salty; thankfully, the chimichurri on the side balanced it out nicely. We did end up ordering more food than expected. When we asked if everything had come out, our server initially said yes, then realized the shrimp was still coming. We kindly asked to cancel the shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and potatoes since we were already full. There was some confusion--she mentioned we hadn't ordered potatoes (even though it had been repeated back to us), and said cancellations weren't really possible. Ultimately, the Brussels sprouts still came out, but she did remove the shrimp and apologized, explaining they were working through issues with a new kitchen manager. Interestingly, this wasn't the first time something was missed--on a previous visit, the Brussels sprouts were forgotten altogether--so it may be a recurring kitchen coordination issue. Overall, the food at Aba is consistently good and worth coming back for. We sat outside as it was beautiful but had sat inside and the ambiance is always nice! However, service this time didn't quite match the experience I had during my first two visits. Still a solid spot, just not quite as seamless as before.
New in Nashville and as pretty as ever! I went to the Chicago location a couple of years ago and was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the restaurant and the quality of the food and service. I was excited to try the new location for dinner this past week. Reservations were tight and even on a Tuesday at 5:15pm, it was BUSY! Both indoors and outdoors. Our server was solid and helped us with some recommendations -- lots of options depending on what you want to try. Hot, cold, small, big, sweet, savory. I thought all of the food we had was solid. I liked the temperatures and the presentation. My only issue was the saltiness -- of pretty much every single dish we ordered. I can appreciate that this restaurant is new and adjusting, but every plate was over salted. My friend and I both agreed, and we both don't usually mind a little extra touch of salt. The watermelon and tuna was amazing and fresh, the green falafel was solid, the chicken was tender. Again, just too much salt on everything. The crispy chickpeas on the smoky garlic hummus were inedible due to salt. We had wine with dinner and they had a solid selection; my friend also had an espresso martini that was an A! Overall -- I know they are new, so I would come back again for another shot. Rating 4 stars in fairness for overall experience. Cheers!
We finally tried Aba in Nashville after hearing the hype for a while, and honestly, it confirmed my suspicion that giant trendy restaurants often struggle to maintain quality. There were definitely a few standout items. The sweet potato hummus was genuinely great, topped with pecans, pumpkin seeds, and all these warm autumn flavors that somehow worked really well with the Mediterranean vibe. Weird in concept, delicious in execution. The pita bread was also fantastic. We also loved parts of the olive and feta plate. The feta was incredible, the pickled onions were great, the almonds were delicious, and the green olives were excellent. The black olives, though? Mushy, weird, and honestly kind of shocking for a restaurant at this price point. Somebody needs a new olive supplier immediately. The biggest disappointment was probably the tuna and watermelon dish. On paper it sounded amazing. Fresh tuna, watermelon, cucumber, beautiful presentation. We were hoping for something bright and flavorful, maybe even compressed watermelon texture-wise, but it ended up tasting almost completely flat. Even adding salt didn't really save it. Pretty to look at, not exciting to eat. The lamb and beef kafta was fine. Not bad, not memorable. The rice underneath it was honestly the best part of the plate. I'd happily eat a bowl of just that rice. The falafel was also surprisingly underwhelming. I'm not some falafel connoisseur, but I've had enough of it to know this wasn't great. Very mid, maybe below mid. Still trying to get the weird after taste out of my mouth. We also tried the shrimp dish, which was flavorful enough, but it honestly felt more like something you'd get at Bubba Gump than at an upscale Mediterranean restaurant charging Nashville prices. Cocktails were also kind of a miss. The first mezcal drink was okay. Very "California juice bar meets cocktail menu," complete with what felt like an entire cilantro plant hanging off the glass. Then I ordered a negroni, and somehow they managed to make one of the easiest classic cocktails taste off. I genuinely don't know how you mess up a negroni that badly. The whole restaurant feels confused about its identity. It's trying to be Mediterranean, California-cool, trendy patio spot, tourist destination, all at once. The decor felt kind of gaudy and artificial, with lots of fake greenery and an atmosphere that felt more like a giant tourist trap than a thoughtful restaurant experience. The service was perfectly fine. The patio was beautiful. But overall, I left disappointed, especially for the price. I'd give the sweet potato hummus 5 stars. The overall experience? Much lower than that. And that's a bummer, because I really wanted to love it. Nashville has plenty of incredible Mediterranean restaurants *cough* Epice *cough* Middle Eatz, and unfortunately this just isn't one I'd ever feel excited to return to.
Dinner at ABA in Nashville was absolutely superb and it's a beautiful restaurant inside and out with impeccable service. I was excited to dine here since Mediterranean food has become one of my favorites especially after traveling in Cyprus and Greece last year with outstanding meals everyday and this restaurant lived up to those 2 Mediterranean countries standards for excellent cuisine. We ordered the whipped feta and smoky garlic feta for appetizers and almost stuffed ourselves silly with the pita bread with the dips we ate. For a main course I ordered the Lamb and Beef Kefta kebabs that were grilled and served with rice and were a very authentic Mediterranean dish. Also, I ordered a side of Brussels sprouts that were flash fried and delicious too. I almost couldn't finish my dinner. It was pricey but dining of this caliber isn't going to be cheap. My only wish for this place is that they come up with a mixed grill with lamb chops, kebabs and grilled veggies would make it perfect.
Aba is such a cool restaurant - the atmosphere and service are exceptional. It's truly one of the prettiest restaurants I've been to. We were able to try a number of tapas - - Smokey garlic hummus - tuna and watermelon - crispy chicken - green falafel - beef tenderloin kebabs - sticky date cake The entire meal was good, call outs were the hummus, tuna, and falafel. 4/5 - only thing holding this back from a 5 was that the table agreed nearly every dish was just a touch too salty. Will be back!
I was so excited to snag a last-minute reservation at Aba, a restaurant that's been on my radar since it opened last year. After much deliberation, we ordered five different dishes (all small plates) for the table. The dishes come out as they are ready, which prevented us from being overwhelmed by so many options at once. First up, the whipped feta was a standout. It was creamy and tangy, with just the right crunch from pistachios and citrus notes from lemon zest. Next, the marinated olives, vegetables and feta had a robust flavor profile with pops of sweetness from the peppers and citrus. But I could have done without the caperberries, which were way too salty for my liking. Third, the Greek Village Salad was classic but well-executed, with crisp vegetables and a tangy vinaigrette. Next was the crunchy, crispy green falafel, with a fresh, herb-forward flavor that paired well with the avocado tzatziki and garlic tahini. By the time the crispy potatoes arrived at the table, I wasn't sure I had room left. But I'm so glad that I gave them a try, as they were perfectly crispy and golden. They were flavorful as is, but the dusting of herbs and sprinkling of mizithra cheese took the dish up a notch. I also tried the Ancient Oak Espresso Martini, which was my favorite style of espresso martini -- smooth and rich without being overly sweet. We ate on the patio, which was lovely. But the interior is where Aba shines. It is stunningly beautiful and is definitely worth checking out, even if you dine outside. I hope to return soon to explore more of the menu. There were so many other menu items that I would have liked to try.
I reviewed ABA 4 months ago and it was not the best experience. The team reached out and were gracious in taking care of us to try it again, so we came for Brunch. I'd love to say it was outstanding this go around but it was still pretty sub par. Whipped feta: 7/10 - Pretty good! I've had better ones but it was fairly tasty. The pita bread was AMAZING. It was soft fluffy, and perfectly seasoned. Braised beef shakshuka: 2/10 - Something was not good in this sauce. Everything tasted of it and had this odd aftertaste. There was also barely any meat. Feta frittata: 9/10 - This was actually one of the best egg dishes I've had in a bit. The phyllo pieces were a bit weird in it but the eggs were perfectly cooked and the feta was a great creamy addition. Chocolate babka French toast: 7/10 - chocolatey, but kind of dry in parts. Mostly just chocolate flavor, and tasted no "French", all toast. Overall, again, not somewhere I'd come again. If I did have to, I'd suggest brunch though.
We made a super early 4:00 rez and I'm so glad we did, by 5:00 the restaurant was packed! As others have noted, it looks like a Restoration Hardware inside, but the effect works and is lovely. And it's open air to the outside so it's very fresh inside. The food was very good. Our server recommended 2-3 dishes per person. We got 5 between the two of us and it was too much food, I was butsting at the end of the meal. We got: smoky garlic hummus, strawberry rhubarb labneh, halloumi in hot honey, green falafel, & green chili shrimp. We loved all of them (the halloumi was fine but our least favorite). Hubs said the shrimp was outstanding. I got a mocktail. We would definitely come back. Service was great, I was really surprised how much staff they had, not something you see often post-pandemic, so that was great.
We scored a last minute res at Aba for some preshow dining. Been wanting to try it for a while but it's a very hard to get reservation. They offer restaurant dedicated valet, which in the very crowded WeHo neighborhood is a plus. The place is visually stunning. It's truly a delight for the eyes. Beware, it appears that the bathrooms are on the second floor of a very long flight of stairs. The entrance also seems to require a number of stairs. These could be problems for the mobility impaired. Our server indicated that we should order three dishes each. However, the kebab dishes are full entrée sized, and so we over ordered a bit and next time we'll know better. We started with the crispy, short rib hummus. It was a little thicker and finer than traditional hummus, but the crispy short rib topping was 100%. The house made pita was a little more like Manoush, but it was delicious. We also ordered the salmon tart and the whipped feta. The salmon was phenomenal, but the whipped feta was a little salty and it cried out for a little something sweet to cut the saltiness. Next time we'd skip it. We had the chicken and the beef and lamb kofta kebabs, both served with basmati rice and a delightful lemon olive oil dressing. Someone in the back clearly knows how to operate a grille. The chicken was wonderfully chard, but very juicy and tender. The coughs were well spiced, and I went off the menu and grabbed some of the house made bread and made little baby wraps out of each kofta. Yum! We were too full for dessert. Our seats were outside on a chilly evening, but they had plenty of space heaters, and even offered individual blankets at each table if you needed them. Service was cheery; a little overly familiar perhaps, but that's better than the alternative. Total for the five courses for two people was $140 with tip, plus $12 for valet parking plus a five dollar tip. read more

Ambiance is great, however they should invest in a fan to keep the flies away. Food was good, especially the hummus. Cocktails are also tasty! Perfect for a date night spot! Our waiter was wonderful and helped us decided exactly what to order. read more
Heard about this Mediterranean spot and just had to try it. Their website says "Mediterranean restaurant with California influence." I think it should be the other way around .. "California cuisine with Mediterranean influence." The food was delicious, meats tender, but after tasting other authentic Mediterranean foods I would not call this Mediterranean at all. There are lots of great dishes we tried, including the sweet potato hummus (my fave!) and the crispy chicken, which would've paired well with rice. Small plates so me and my date were able to share everything. The naan served with the hummus was fantastic. We had to get the nuts on the side since my date is allergic. The pork was very tender and delicious, but the sauce paired with the pork was too sweet, and then paired with the sweet apples made it overwhelming. They may need something spicy or bitter to tone down the sweetness. The lamb chops were gone quickly, which is a great thing; however, they didn't have as many flavors as I expected. Loved the Brussels sprouts, but again, very sweet from the honey. The date cake was yummy, you can taste the bourbon with the sweet caramel. The frozen yogurt reminded me of Pinkberry, which is a fave of mine. The melon & granita was interesting. Flavored crunchy snow with jalapeno, cucumbers and melon. Very different. The waitress was very nice and attentive and all the staff were knowledgeable & helpful. read more
So so so worth the hype. If you like rich, flavorful, and decadent food, Aba is your place. The scallops changed my life. I'll be going back for those. The steak is perfectly cooked and seasoned. It's a must have. I also recommend the banana pudding cake, it's literally shaped like a banana, with a firm shell and banana pudding filling. Delicious! All the plates are shareable so you can go with a group and order tons of entrees to try out. They bring out your items as they're ready. It felt like eating non-stop in the best way. read more

Came here to for a late Halloween dinner with my wife & fellow Elites/besties Amanda M & TJ M. Had a 9:45 seating & the place was packed but there was no wait & we were sat a few minutes early in a spacious leather booth on the back wall facing inward towards the beautifully designed & decorated main dining area. We ordered a TON of food. My wife & I ordered 7 dishes & our friends about the same & we all tried each others, but we didn't need this much it just all sounded so good & we had waited all day to eat a late dinner so we over ordered for sure. That being said, everything was good & worth trying of the times I ordered my two favorites were the stracciatella & the crispy chicken thighs. The dessert the banana pudding cake is worth the $20 for the presentation alone, but the taste is great as well. Service was excellent & all the aesthetic is amazing here. Great spot for a nice dinner or hang with friends. read more

I had such high hopes for this place - it was at the top of my "must visit" restaurants - and was so disappointed. It's trendy, with loud music. I was the most impressed with the bathroom - clean, modern, and even had Le Labo Rose31 lotion! Food was very mediocre and disappointing. Brussel sprouts were soggy and dry, and so was the whipped feta. The short ribs were the best dish we had, but it's not saying much. Service was non attentive and slow and not fitting for an upscale restaurant. The cocktails (especially the passionfruit gin and tonic) were delicious and my favorite thing on the menu. read more

I really wanted to love this place. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful,vibrant, thoughtfully designed, and it truly creates the atmosphere of a luxurious dinner date experience. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the ambiance. As someone who genuinely enjoys Mediterranean cuisine, I found the dishes underwhelming. The flavors lacked depth, and one of the dishes in particular had a combination of ingredients that did not pair or complement each other well. The standout of the night was definitely the banana pudding dessert, which was easily a 10/10. I would absolutely return just for that alone, as it was the highlight of the entire meal. I typically do not enjoy leaving negative reviews, as I understand every restaurant can have an off night, but I was disappointed overall. That said, I do see strong potential here and would still consider giving the restaurant another chance in the future. The service was pleasant, but there is room for improvement. Our table was quite small, and it became crowded very quickly with finished plates and drinks. While additional dishes continued to arrive, the used items were not being cleared from the table in a timely manner, which became a bit frustrating during the meal. However, I do understand weekends can be especially busy and demanding for staff. read more
Staff was very welcoming and helpful in exploring the menu and drinks. We sat at the bar as we didn't have a reservation and the atmosphere was full of greenery and life. Short rib hummus is a must order. Delicate and delightful. The kabobs were delicious but the rice was drenched in lemon making it unbearably tangy. Great experience. read more
Salmon kebabs perfectly cooked an wood grilled lots of flavor. Rice great and buttery lemony. The shrimp was amazing. Came in stone escargot bowl and you had to spoon them out one at a time with the zesty crunchy bread crumb on top. Short rib hummus was fantastic. The short rib was tender and crispy and good. Tuna watermelon super fresh and great flavors as well loved the crispy watermelon mint combo. Wish there was more tuna. But very appealing visually. Ambiance 10/10, instantly one of the best restaurants in the city. read more

We were very happy to hear the beloved ABA of Chicago and Austin was opening up in the heart of WEHO. We made a reservation in advance and were seated at a wonderful booth. The views are stunning in here, unlike any other restaurants in Nashville. You can find parking around the area. We had a wonderful server who helped my boyfriend navigate his allergies. Gluten Free friends there are PLENTY of options for you here! I highly recommend getting the whipped feta, Lamb & Beef Kefta, and Greek village salad for some freshness. I was not impressed with the potatoes or Mule. It felt like both lacked flavor, but I believe the restaurant is still working through its opening phase! I will definitely be back and would highly recommend ABA to any of my Nashville neighbors looking for a fun night out! read more

Great ambiance and vibe. Went there for brunch on a Saturday. Was hoping that the staff would notice from the reservation notes that we were there celebrating my birthday but other than that we had a great time and enjoyed the food. read more
Reservations are a MUST for Saturday nights! Very glad to have made one. Servers and support staff were extremely nice! One of them spotted me looking for the restrooms, didn't even need to ask what I was looking for, and pointed me in the right direction. Servers were attemtive but not pushy. Made good recommendations. The bathrooms are SUPER cute! I was surprised by how rich the food was but ti was VERY good! Will definitely go again! read more
This place just opened and so glad we got a chance to check it out. There weren't any reservations available but we came and was able to get seated outside right away They offer valet for $12 and there's also a few street parking options if you have the patience The atmosphere is so nice. The decor and indoor/outdoor feel was a vibe...but the food We ordered a lot: the truffle salmon, falafel, whipped feta, skirt steak and the chicken skewers. The truffle salmon, whipped feta and chicken skewers were my favorite. The feta and pita was something i could've snacked on all night. The truffle salmon was packed with so much flavor it makes you sad that it's only a small portion and then the chicken skewers with cilantro rice was a hit! The skirt steak was good but the fries it came with were a hit at the table. The bar was a little slow on the drinks so the owner offered us a dessert on the house. We opted for the banana pudding and we were quite confused once we got it. It wasn't bad but definitely not what we expected This spot is nice and perfect for an outing with friends or a date night option. I'll definitely be back especially to enjoy the patio while the weather is favorable. read more

Food was a 5/5 - all of it was very good. Stars of the show were crab cakes (maybe best overall item), short rib hummus, whipped feta, and Brussel sprouts were other favorites. Our service was very good, server did a great job. Only thing was some of the mains could have been coursed slightly better, but I'm nitpicking with that. The ambiance of the restaurant is one of the best in the city. Overall great experience- we will be back. read more

I dined at ABA in Chicago in 2025 and couldn't forget how tasty the garlic hummus was, so when I heard the were coming to Nashville my taste buds jumped for joy! I was finally able to score a resy and got my favorite hummus dish, the hamachi, lamb and beef kefta dish, and crispy potatoes. The garlic hummus was of coarse my absolute favorite but I have to say the soft and well-seasoned rice really added such a great flavor and texture alongside the grilled meat and tzatziki sauce. For drinks, we had a yummy cactus-based cocktail and a spicy green mocktail to accompany our meals. I have to say they were very refreshing and complementary. The ambiance was really nice and the space was beautiful. The service was good too! No complaints. read more
Truly lovely. The food was delicious, every single thing. The cocktails were well balanced. The service was attentive without hovering. The space itself is beautiful. We had a celiac dinner, and they were so accommodating. A little pricey but well worth a special occasion evening. read more
Wow wow wow. Walking in the decorations are insanely gorgeous. Extremely high ceilings so many lights plants even Christmas trees decorated hanging from the tree. Our service was impeccable really a knowledgeable server and fun as well. The food was superb. I loved the sweet potato hummus, the chicken thighs, the salmon kebabs. Even the bread was delicious. They do valet parking for a charge which you can pay before you leave the restaurant. Will love to return on a warmer day to be able to sit outside. read more

I recently went to Aba with friends and it was such a standout dining experience. From the moment we sat down, the service was on point. Our waitress Kasha was fantastic, super friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations that we ended up loving. Even the food runners were knowledgeable about the dishes and genuinely warm, which made the whole experience feel elevated and thoughtful. They were also very accommodating with my friend's food allergy, which we really appreciated and made everyone feel comfortable ordering. Food wise, there were some serious highlights. The crispy short rib hummus was incredible, and the whipped feta was honestly an 11 out of 10. I will be going back just for that. I ordered the shawarma spiced steak frites, which was good, but there are so many interesting things on the menu that I would probably try something new next time. Dessert completely blew us away. We shared the banana pudding cake, which comes shaped like an actual banana. It was one of the most creative and delicious desserts I have ever had. The restaurant's decor is beautiful inside and out, and they have a patio that will be amazing in the spring and summer months. A lot of Nashville spots nail the vibe but fall short on service or quality. Aba truly understands hospitality and great food, and delivers on all of it. Definitely one of my favorite recent restaurant experiences in Nashville. read more

I think I have already reviewed, but yelp is nagging me. I went with a friend, the two of us ended up simply seating at the bar, we ordered apps, and took selfies and images at the perfectly lit bar.

Beautiful aesthetic, love all the changeliers and hanging christmas trees the lighting is great and the sunroof is super nice during rhe day adding a nice brightness to the space. Our server Julia was great and was spot on about all of the dishes we asked her about. We started with whipped feta and shortrib hummus, that house bread is SO GOOD! Best Brussels ive ever had, truffle orzo and the hot honey halumi was to die for- the hot honey is good enough to drink and had a great truffle finish. The branzino was light, fresh and flavorful . I can wait to come back for the lamb chops! Also, great wine selection! I enjoyed a Sancere with my fish and had a delightful cocktail with apps. The bathroom was even beautiful. Make sure you check aba out, you will not regret it!!!! read more

Plan to valet, limited parking $15, also plan to walk up hill after dinner to pick up your car, valet is not door to door. We got there right at 4:00 before the crowds and sat at the bar. The decor is gorgeous, natural wood tones, huge plants, lush greens. I wasn't super impressed with the service, the two bartenders seemed more interested in talking with eachother than checking in with us. They were friendly enough, just not overall concerned with our experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal. We got crispy potatoes, whipped feta, village salad, truffled salmon, green chili shrimp. Warm Naan bread service was generous and multiple baskets were delivered sometimes without having to even ask for it. The salad was the freshest, tastiest, most delicious. The shrimp was also a favorite. I did find a staple in my mouth but the manager handled it very well, comping the shrimp and remaking it. We were surprised when he treated us with house yogurt with salted olive oil to finish out our experience. I never would've ordered that dessert but loved it. Very refreshing and unique. The place was packed by the time we left so make a reservation. read more
Amazing decor, reminds me of RH vibe with an outdoor patio feel. We didn't make reservations so ended up sitting at the bar. The service was a top notch and the drinks were amazing, the espresso martini did not disappoint since they don't use Kahlua but real espresso instead. Unfortunately the upstairs was closed due to a private event. My favorite dish was the Sharma-Spiced Skirt Steak and the Whipped Feta. The naan bread was so fresh and tasteful, they added additional seasoning on top. We shared all the dishes, including the short ribs and brussel sprouts. If you are wanting to come here since its a new spot, be sure to make reservations. Valet parking is available and cost the same as the parking lot close by. The bathrooms were clean and well appointed. read more
Had an amazing dinner at Aba in Nashville! I ordered the steak frites, whipped feta with naan bread, and the aloe cocktail -- everything was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and tender, the whipped feta was light and creamy, and the naan was warm and fluffy. The cocktail was super refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous, lively, and so unique for Nashville! The service was great from start to finish. Definitely one of my favorite dining experiences in Nashville! I will say the parking was a little tricky and I do wish they'd validate for parking! I need to try dessert next time. read more
