Aba

Aba ranks first in the list of best restaurants in Chicago. Modern Mediterranean cuisine is delightfully adaptable, offering full flavors to vegans, vegetarians, and carnivores alike. And no one in Chicago understands the style like Aba. Mezze, both hot and cold, are served alongside house-made spreads and breads. Raw fish is just as popular as flame-charred kebabs. Shawarma spiced skirt steak arrives at the table, alongside falafel slathered in avocado tzatziki. It's also a great place for drinks with a view, thanks to its light-filled atrium filled with potted plants and trees.

Aba's lush atrium is framed by potted plants and trees and features a large, well-lit back bar. Globe lamps hang from the vaulted glass ceiling, which is framed by wood beams. The room is alive and full of light. Healthy eaters graze lightly on shared plates, looking up between bites to take in the surroundings—and the stunning rooftop view.

Fresh fruit and vegetables are used in seasonal cocktails. Reserve cocktails (made with higher-priced spirits), large-format offerings (punches and the like for six to eight people), and a diverse wine list divided by grape, region, and historical and cultural significance are also available.
