The menu at Aba incorporates a lighter style of cooking with influences from the Mediterranean, including Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, and Greece.

For guests choosing to dine in at the restaurant, there’s an indoor dining room, a multi-level outdoor patio, and a terrace that accommodates up to 130 and lives under the canopy of a 100+-year-old native Heritage Oak.

Aba is also offering a Thanksgiving feast to-go with a Mediterranean twist. People can order from Aba’s Thanksgiving carry-out menu until Monday, November 23 at 3 p.m. and pick-up or delivery is Tuesday, November 24 or Wednesday, November 25 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
