Wonderful food! Everything was made fresh and delicious. My daughter has many food allergies and they made sure to prepare her food safe. There are gluten free and dairy free options.Dietary restrictions: Many of the menu items are gluten free and dairy free. They will modify items to make sure allergens are avoided.

After reading a number of positive reviews my wife and I stopped in for lunch today while traveling through Mobile. When we pulled up I noted a neon "Open" sign in the window that was off and wondered if they were closed today. Since I'd driven out of my way I walked up to the door and found they were in fact open and had an empty dining room aside from a single party of three. We had the Greek salad and a gyro. Both were okay at best while dining however the gyro generated some serious regret later in the day. The iced tea was undrinkable - even after trying some sweetener. The place was literally falling down around us - especially the ceiling. I was so hopeful but now am just disappointed.

This restaurant is a very underrated place. My wife and I stopped in for lunch and were pleasantly surprised. The person working made both my wife and I feel like we were old friends. Not only was the food freshly prepared to order but it was also made with fresh ingredients. The Gulf shrimp tasted like it just came in that day and the tomatoes tasted like they were out of a garden.I can't speak more highly of Abba's and my wife and I will be back with our family as often as possible.

Had a wonderful dinner, i had the gyro which was fresh and hot with homemade taziki. My husband had the shrimp creole, made to order and amazing flavor. The restaurant has an old world flair to it. Highly recommend

The ingredients at this restaurant are fresh and seasonal, and they're used to create dishes that are both delicious and visually appealing.

I will start by saying I am not a fan of Mediterranean food, however, Mr Abba has changed all that. I just ordered the humus and then stuffed grape leaves. Both were so delicious! Authentic foods made from scratch. Mr Abba is so very friendly and accommodating. Great place to meet for lunch. I have not tried supper yet but will be soon. I highly recommend this little place. Great food, very affordable prices. The atmosphere is a little dark but cozy.

This place has charm (even with the bit of property maintenance that's needed) the owner Naji, aka Mr. Abba, is a swell fella. He's the chef and he enjoys what he does. Come on over. Support a local small business. Everyone seems to love the filete mignon, I prefer plant based dishes, he serves up good curry. Substitute the chicken with mushrooms.

How had I not found this jewel that is only blocks from my family's home in Mobile? I went here today with my mom for lunch and it was amazing. I had delicious crab cakes and she had even more an even delicious gyro. The prices are too fair - they could stand to raise them. The server (owner?) was charming and speedy. 10/10 will go every time I visit Mobile.Parking: Easy location and parking

This place is great. I can't believe it wasn't super crowded for lunch. Prices were very low, yet it feels like a nice dining atmosphere. I had really good crab cakes and my mother had a lamb gyro. We both had fresh salads.

A little treasure. The food was distinctive and delicious and the proprietor was charming.

Personal service, hidden gem. Places like this don't exist anymore, we would do well to keep them alive. Never a bad meal here and the friend I took today for lunch LOVED it!

My first time visit to this local hidden gem and all I can say is WOW. The owner is super friendly and the food is outstanding! He has been in business for 40 years. Be sure and start with the hummus. The best hummus I have ever eaten. The grilled bread compliments the hummus perfectly. I went with the Persian kabobs with rice and grilled vegetables. It was excellent. Finished off the meal with a piece of baklava, which was also great. Prices are very good for a meal of this caliber. Highly recommend.
