Aba Miami

Aba is a Mediterranean restaurant in Bal Harbour that’s a good option if you need to refuel during a shopping spree. Originally from Chicago, their menu has more hummus and spread options than your local Milam’s—like the spicy lamb ragu hummus that perfectly balances rich ragu with creamy hummus. They also have heartier dishes like shawarma-spiced skirt steak with horseradish labneh, but the snapper ceviche is our favorite dish here. The lemongrass and Asian pear add a refreshing layer to the spicy jalapeño and fresno, and it comes with thinly sliced purple potato chips that are perfect for scooping. The interior is decorated with more fake foliage than a Jurassic Park theme ride—but you might find some lizard people in Bal Harbour, so why not?
