    AhbA burger
    Baran K.

    A great new addition to Laguna Beach! Especially because I feel like there are few establishments I look to in the area. I absolutely LOVED the burger -- I can confidently say it was one of the best smash burgers I have ever had, especially as the chilis were such a nice touch. We also got the mac and cheese which was comforting. The weakest dish of the night was the salmon... the fish was cooked very well and the sauce alone tasted nice, but I just don't think this is my favorite way to eat salmon. I'd definitely love to go back for more burgers but also to try the tri-tip sandwich. I also tried their mezcal and passionfruit cocktail, which was solid. I loved how casual the restaurant was, but the soft glow really romanticized the place. This is definitely a place to consider if you're around Laguna!

    Te culpo
    Anastasia V.

    As others have already said, AhbA is very popular on social media and that's also how I was influenced to try it. First off, parking is limited to what you can find on the street. The restaurant itself is very cute and quaint, with seating both inside and outside. You order at a window and pick up your drink, if you get one, at a different window. The staff was so sweet by the way! Timing worked out perfectly as I came by during happy hour. And their happy hour food and drink selection is pretty good! I ordered their infamous burger (just the single patty though) along with the te culpo cocktail to wash it down. The burger was really yummy I can't lie. It is kinda small given its price, but I thought it was still good to try. The te culpo cocktail was super refreshing and, surprisingly, a bit on the stronger side. I like this spot, so I'll be back for sure. I'd probably get the full burger next time.

    Cheeseburger
    Shaza R.

    This has got to be my favorite place to get a cheeseburger. It is perfectly done, with delicious cheese, and a little spice. Served with a side of crispy fries? Every pregnant girl's dream!! I enjoyed the casual setting of this restaurant and think it's adorable how it's set up along PCH with an ordering window, and a bar pickup window. Great spot to grab a bite before or after the beach

    It was always in the back of my mind to visit this place whenever I stop by Laguna, since I've seen it all over social media. The aesthetics and vibes were very cute and photogenic, and I see why this place has gone viral. Street parking was a bit rough, but it was probably the spring break crowd. However. Upon the recommendation of a coworker who raved about everything on the menu, I grabbed the classic burger, upgraded to a side caesar salad, and shared a plate of fries. Like, let me play it safe and try the basics on the menu first, because in my head, I was already imagining bringing friends here in the future. Dare I say that everything I ordered was just bland and unseasoned. Burger was decidedly average, nothing special. It looked like, and tasted like a high school cafeteria burger, if I'm going to be so honest. Salad looked good (for the camera), and fries were fine, I guess. I felt so underwhelmed by the food (especially at the price point) since it was such a stark difference from the actual decor and hype I saw online. Although, when I came back to the counter to order a Mexican coke, I did notice they sell sauces on the side for like 75 cents. But, just the overall taste in everything I ordered was underwhelmingly flavorless. I feel like the food should stand on its own without adding sauces. Another thing, which I also see in other reviews: auto tip starts at 20% for a walk-up counter. It def was a bit awkward to manually change the tip amount while the cashier was staring down at me. Lastly, this restaurant has vague/unclear Mediterranean roots, if you know what I mean. The cashier himself seemed hesitant to explain when I asked what kind of Mediterranean food this restaurant serves. On Yelp, the restaurant is listed as "New American" cuisine, but I looked at news articles later on about the chef's inspirations/ recipes, which are served with an "Israeli flare". You can decide yourself what to do with that information.

    AhbA burger
    Alana F.

    I know this is going to be a hot take, but I'm not sure what the hype is about surrounding AhbA. After seeing endless videos on social media about this spot, I figured I'd give it a try. It's tucked a little way off the main area of Laguna but still easily accessible. The inside offers a good amount of seating for the size and the outdoor seating looks a bit close together but nothing that would make or break the experience. Ordering at the window was easy and I was able to find a spot inside. I'd apparently just missed the huge lunch rush which would make sense for a Saturday afternoon. The guy who took my order was super sweet and helpful. My food came out pretty quickly but when they set the plate down, I was a bit disappointed. The burger looked to be pretty standard, like a diner burger. While looks can be deceiving, the burger did have some good flavor, thanks to the pepper spread they put on there. But if I'm honest, the spread is what made the burger good. The Cajun fries were the star of the show, offering a nice kick to complement the burger. I'm glad I gave this place a try and it was a decent meal; however, I'm not sure it's worth the relatively steep price or the hype it's getting. That's the beauty of food though, it's all based on what you like and maybe this burger does it for other people.

    First time coming here ! It's a hidden gem. You can tell locals come here a lot. One thing I will say the parking is hard to find. You will have to park on the street. When you arrive here, I recommend scanning the QR code to see the menu. You order your food first and then find your seating. I had to try their famous Ahba burger and let me tell you it was so delicious. So beefy and filling! Had their Vanilla Latte and it was made just right!! Cute little beachy vibe spot.

    OJ
    Ken H.

    I had the privilege of being waited on by Matt P: the exceptionally congenial & professional manager of the very quaint, the very sexy Ahba Laguna. Matt's promptness, attention to detail, & willingness to provide a seamless experience really made a remarkable first impression on my already stunned face. I had a unique order that is not typically on the Ahba menu. I wanted a glass of OJ, & Ahba was not exactly serving breakfast drinks at 7p when I placed the order. However, Matt made it happen. I do not know how or where Ahba gets their OJ from. I do know the juice tastes like the oranges were picked from a tree of life, squeezed by the tender hands of archangels, & dripped into elegant plastic bottles. The bottle of OJ Matt produced from the back of Ahba might well have been the sweetest, most nourishing, taste slaking juice I have had in years. Two friends dining with me asked for a taste due to my bemusement with it. Their reactions were similar: the OJ elicited awe. I complemented my OJ with a smashburger and fries. A demonstrably savory burger. I had to set my gullet to inhale after the first bite because the smashburger is addicting. Once I had made the smashburger disappear, I ate the fries. Slowly at first, & then more quickly as my appetite for them grew more ravenous. I left Ahba quite sated. Yes the drinks and entrees are all refreshing & enriching. I must recommend begging Matt or whoever at Agba will listen for a bottle of their fresh OJ. To not try the juice at this eatery suggests a wasted life. Orange you glad I passed on this wisdom.

    I have driven by here so many times on my way to Laguna and my friend said it was great so I ordered it from Uber eats tonight. I'm definitely hard to please and high maintenance. They have a lot of boxes for me to check off of stuff I don't like cheese I'll let you know how it is! It looks really healthy so that's a good start! The cauliflower was super spicy but the yogurt sauce diluted it luckily. Average cucumber salad but I like the crispy salmon on top! That was the highlight of my delivered meal. The side of chicken breast was OK. The yams were bland and need some tahini I'm excited to dine in next time! I'm sure it will be amazing!

    AhbA Burger * double wagyu smash, american cheese, caramelized onion, fresno chili, aioli, pickles, fries Pita Sandwich * choice of braised lamb, cauliflower or chicken (pictured), with cucumber, red onion, zhoug, hummus, tahini, herbs * only on their lunch menu * a trendy new American restaurant known for its smash burger (except both items ordered are a must-try!) * has locations in Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach (though I highly recommend visiting the Laguna Beach one since it is right off the PCH and has a speakeasy next door to relax in after) * perfect stop for any time of the day with brunch, lunch, and dinner options 10/10

    whipped feta
    Mandro E.

    Went for brunch on a Sunday. Food is good and we got plenty of different items. Missing pics from some food items. Favorites were the whipped feta and the french toast. We also got the american breakfast and the breakfast burrito which were pretty solid as well. Service is generally OK, but vibes are amazing. Parking can sometimes be tough but overall manageable. Will be back soon to try some other items! Always like to go for a stroll on the opposite side for unlimited ocean views after brunch and recommend you do the same!

    Underwhelming avocado toast
    Daph H.

    I had been to the AhbA in Costa Mesa and was curious to try the Laguna Beach location. It's set in a house on PCH, where you order from a window and then take your number to a table, either inside or outside. I ordered the avocado toast off the brunch menu. This was the most disappointing avocado toast I've ever eaten. I don't remember what the menu description was, but I swear it sounded better than what I received - thin avocado slices on a overly toasted piece of bread, with some feta cheese crumbles, drizzle of olive oil and sea salt. I felt pretty stupid for ordering it. My husband's shakshuka was fine. It lacked the spicy heat that one normally expects from the fiery tomato sauce. AhbA is super popular, so maybe I ordered wrong. I should have thrown caution to the winds and ordered the smash burger - arteries be damned.

    Cappuccino and purple (blueberry) lemonade
    Tutor- K.

    I usually go to Ahba Restaurant for their labneh toast and avocado toast, but this time I decided to try something different--and wow, I'm so glad I did. The Caesar salad was absolutely out of this world. The dressing was incredibly flavorful (I even asked for extra!), and it really made the whole dish stand out. The burger was also perfectly done, topped with caramelized onions and cheese--honestly, such a great keto-friendly breakfast option. Of course, I couldn't skip their cappuccino. It came with beautiful latte art, and it tasted just as good as it looked. The vibe here is always a win--super chill, stylish, and you can choose to sit inside or outside. Everything is consistently fresh and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite spots for brunch on weekends!

    Cesar salad with salmon
    Stephanie L.

    The service was friendly in the food area. I came around 5:30pm on Sunday night and went to the bar to get a drink but was told they were closing even though the restaurant was completely full. I was advised to go to the speakeasy next door where it was busy and took a long time to order a drink. The place was very cute and would go again if it didn't take such a long time to get the things I ordered. The lamb is fantastic. Everything else was average

The owner served us initially, and he was really friendly and funny. We ordered a bottle of wine, and some cocktails. We put in some salads and an appetizer, they were really really good. But after that, our server (the owner we were told) left, and another server introduced himself. The new server was inattentive. He sat chatting with the other servers at the bar, leaving empty glasses and empty plates on the table. We had to flag him to come back to fill water. Having been myself in the service industry for years, my biggest pet peeve is when servers sit and chat where you can see them, and when they do come, they don't do a sweep and take care of things on the table. We had to put our empty glasses and trash on a side table. It was weird. The bolognese had hardly any meat in it. It was mostly tomato and onion. I've been to Argentina. Meat is a staple. Also weird. We ordered dessert and after waiting for 5-10 minutes, the server came back and told us they were missing crucial ingredients to make it. The owner came back at the end and was really gracious, but all in all, I think the execution was lacking. The service was not great. The food was 3.5/5 I love to support small business, perhaps we will try again another night.

    We were celebrating my cousin's birthday, and from the moment we sat down, Kiana brought such a…read morewarm, positive energy to our table. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everyone was having a great time. Her positive attitude and joyful spirit was infectious, Kiana was very sweet and attentive. She constantly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing, allowing us to enjoy our time together while still feeling well taken care of. She also gave fantastic recommendations, and everything we ordered came out timely and perfectly prepared. One thing that really stood out was when I asked if they happened to have truffle fries, even though they weren't on the menu. She explained that they normally only serve them during happy hour, but she offered to check anyway...and to my surprise, she was able to bring them out for us! That small gesture meant so much and showed how willing she was to go above and beyond for her guests. To make the birthday celebration even more special, she brought out a beautiful tres leches cake with a candle so we could all sing happy birthday to my cousin. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the moment feel truly special. After we paid, we had the chance to chat with her, and it only confirmed what we had already experienced throughout the meal--she is such a positive, uplifting person. She's the kind of employee who lights up an establishment and makes people want to come back. We left talking about how wonderful she was, and she played a huge role in making our celebration so memorable. The food was just as amazing as the service. We started with the crab and spinach dip and the bacon-wrapped shrimp appetizer, both of which were absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start our meal. I ordered the Caesar salad with steak, and it was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Everything we ordered came out fresh, timely, and exactly as expected. From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was excellent and made the experience even more enjoyable. FYI if you're going to get any appetizer the CRAB & SPINACH DIP + THE BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP IS THE WAY TO GO!!!! The ambience is perfection, beautifully decorated with lights. Such a great experience.

    What a disappointing experience. We arrived around 4:30 PM, and the restaurant was uncomfortably…read morehot. It was obvious the air conditioning either wasn't on or wasn't being used until the early dinner rush started coming in. For a restaurant charging these prices, guests shouldn't have to sit through dinner sweating and uncomfortable. The cleanliness was also a major issue. Our water glasses were stained and dirty, and the tables were sticky, making the entire place feel poorly maintained. These are basic details that should never be overlooked, especially at this price point. Considering how much our bill was, we left feeling like we had wasted our evening. We honestly would have had a much better experience at Houston's or Nick's. What makes it even more disappointing is that the location is absolutely phenomenal and has so much potential. Unfortunately, the atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall experience simply did not justify the cost. A beautiful location can only take a restaurant so far. We learned our lesson and will not be dining here again.
