Aba is a vibrant Mediterranean restaurant in West Loop serving shareable plates of grilled meats, hummus, and mezze with excellent cocktails. Order the crispy short rib hummus, shawarma-spiced skirt steak frites, and whipped feta—and don't skip the crème brûlée pie. One caveat: the staff recommends 5-6 plates for two people, which can feel like too much food depending on your appetite.
