Aba is a stylish Mediterranean restaurant and rooftop oasis in Chicago’s Fulton Market district, known for its lush greenery, airy skylit dining room, and expansive patio with city views. Led by chef C.J. Jacobson, the menu showcases a lighter, California-influenced take on Mediterranean flavors, with dishes inspired by Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, and Greece—think smoky hummus, whipped feta, kebabs, and grilled seafood. The space feels both buzzy and relaxed, with lounge-style seating, fire pits, and an indoor-outdoor bar pouring creative cocktails alongside a deep list of wines and spirits from lesser-known Mediterranean regions. It’s a popular spot for date nights, celebrations, and after-work gatherings, blending polished service with a vibrant, resort-like atmosphere.
