I love the food from Aba - theres truly nothing on their menu that will steer you wrong. My favorites are the smoky garlic hummus and the charred corn hummus (both seasonal), muhummara, chicken kefta, falafel and potatoes. Also, if youre dining in, the Aloe its Me cocktail is the best. ,

Brussels sprouts, Muhammara and the Lamb & Beef Kefta Kebab were my top picks from this meal. Their pita is also clearly freshly baked. Portions are a bit on the smaller side. I've ordered many times and will continue.

The Creme Brulee Pie was off the charts amazing! 10/10
The Crispy Short Rib Hummus where some of the best I have ever had, just wish the would have put them in a more appropriate container so my ribs weren't all completely covere and sunk down in the hummus.

overpriced salmon. only a few pieces of salmon and rice for $27. the salmon had no type of char marks from the grill whatsoever and little seasoning.

Incredibly flavored. The Short Rib Shakshuka was perfect, with a little dash of heat. Schwarma-Spiced Skirt Steak & Eggs was some of the best tasting steak and eggs ive had since moving to Chicago. The potatoes were delishhh. Chocolate Babka French Toast was fluffy and the perfect level of sweetness.
