Austin Foodie Adventure - Chilling at Aba, the Instagram-Famous Spot

After a hectic quarter-end, it’s time to treat ourselves! 🌴 This weekend, I hit up Aba Austin, a Mediterranean gem. 🌞Before dining, stroll down Congress Avenue—weekends bring vibrant street markets with handmade crafts and iconic walls like “I Love You” or “Before I Die”—perfect for snapping pics 📸. We booked ahead but landed indoors during brunch rush. Pro tip: aim for 3-4 PM to snag a tree-side seat 🌳—tables were empty by dessert time! The menu? Limited brunch options, but hits included: Smoky Garlic Hummus 🌶️: Topped with chili oil that tastes exactly like Lao Gan Ma! Crispy flatbread + roasted garlic = instant satisfaction. Short Rib Shakshuka 🥘: Tender meat, creamy potatoes, and extra flatbread (warning: carb overload!). Kefta & Eggs 🥙: Tangy tzatziki + hearty meatballs—zesty and filling! Service was a bit chaotic (chasing staff for the bill 💸), but the vibe? 💯 Perfect for a weekend hang with friends. 📍 Aba Austin: 1011 S Congress Ave, Austin, TX 78704 #AustinEats #WeekendVibes #FoodieHeaven 🌄🌴🚗
