"Lettuce Entertain You’s Aba offers an extensive selection of gluten-free Mediterranean-inspired dishes in its elegant tree-filled dining room and equally lush rooftop patio. Snack on hummus served with gluten-free crackers before a hearty meal of char-grilled lamb chops with garlic yogurt or shawarma-spiced skirt steak frites. Make a reservation through OpenTable." - Samantha Nelson

"Aba is doing dinner and a live Zoom magic show on 4/27 from 4:30-6:30pm. The meal is $30 per person, and includes whipped feta spread, salad, your choice of kebab entree, and pistachio cake. You can also add a $69 “mystery magic box” to use for the interactive virtual experience hosted by the magician. It’s also worth mentioning that they’re calling the event Aba-Cadabra.

"Even by West Loop standards, this place is a scene. The good news is that Aba is a scene that comes with fantastic food. It’s always crowded, but the space is beautiful, and there’s a huge rooftop patio that’s perfect for hanging out over drinks (even during the winter). And as with its sister restaurant, Ema in River North, a lot of things on the Mediterranean menu are meant to be shared." - sam faye, adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen
"Yes, Aba can be kind of a scene. Thankfully it’s one with great food and a huge rooftop patio full of firepits and comfortable couches. And as with its sister restaurant Ema, a lot of things (like the hummuses and spreads) on the Mediterranean menu are meant to be shared." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
