ABA is an absolutely beautiful Mediterranean-style restaurant with incredibly delicious food. Every dish we had was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. We had several guests in our group with specific allergy requirements, and the staff was very accommodating and attentive, which we truly appreciated. The space itself is stunning—warm, inviting, and perfect for a celebratory dinner. Parking was a bit challenging, but that’s an easy fix on our end; we’ll definitely just Uber next time. We were a large party of 12, seated right at 5:00 PM, with a full-course menu and added dessert. Everything was served smoothly, and we were opening gifts at the table after dessert. I completely understand the need to turn tables and keep service flowing, but we were asked to move to the bar or another area once the next party arrived for our table. Honestly, this feels like more of a management-of-expectations issue—it would be really helpful if large parties were informed of a maximum dining time at the time of booking so there are no surprises. One small food note: the salads were delicious, but the ingredients (especially the cucumbers) were cut very large and not very bite-sized. Overall, the food was outstanding, the ambiance was gorgeous, and the experience was memorable. With a little more clarity around timing for large parties, ABA would be a near-perfect dining experience. We will absolutely be back.
Aba Nashville delivers a truly refined dining experience, from its beautifully curated ambience to the impeccable service. We began with the Muhammara, accompanied by warm pita—rich, velvety, and effortlessly indulgent. The falafel was exceptionally well executed, crisp on the outside, tender within, and deeply flavorful. The crispy potatoes were perfectly golden, elevated further by the subtle sharpness of the scallion dip. For the main course, the chicken kebab stood out—expertly charred, remarkably juicy, and paired with aromatic, well-seasoned rice. Aba is an excellent destination for those who appreciate elevated Mediterranean cuisine. Highly recommended for both the flavors and the experience. Reservation is a must!

We tried out Aba for date night (be sure to make a reservation) and it did not disappoint. We ordered the smoky garlic hummus as an appetizer - it was delicious & now we want to go back to try the other hummus options! We also had the falafel and brussel sprouts (so good). For entrees, we got the beef short ribs and crispy chicken thighs which were very good but I think next time we will skip the entrees and go for a bunch of small plates. Only complaint is that it took 15-20 for the waiter to come to our table once we sat down. Overall, super pleased with our experience!
The Mediterranean restaurant had a really calm and relaxing atmosphere. The place felt elegant and nicely done without being too formal or intimidating. It was a good spot to sit back, enjoy the evening, and have a proper meal. The food was good overall, flavorful and well presented, and the experience felt pleasant from start to finish. Definitely a nice place if you’re looking for something a little more classy and peaceful.
It was my birthday weekend, and I decided to try Aba, which had just opened the previous week. The quoted wait was 1.5 hours, but we were seated in about 45 minutes. We started with cocktails at the bar—“The Aloe? It’s Me.” Not only was it stunning, but it was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. Every team member we interacted with, from the moment we got out of our car—whether it was the valet, managers, bartender, or server—they all exceeded expectations: kind, helpful, attentive, and genuinely engaging. It takes a lot to wow me, but the entire experience truly wowed me. Now for the food, the Whipped Feta was outstanding. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Thighs, which were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. For dessert, we had the Chocolate Hazelnut Torte, a perfect finale. This is how the dining experience is supposed to be—I applaud the training and hiring team; the mission is unmistakably evident. I can't wait to return and share the experience with friends and clients! Laurie Hardman - Laurie D'Anne Events
