Both dine-in and takeout service are superb! The family who owns this place are so warm and welcoming that the bistro feels like stepping into someone's home, and the food is consistently delicious. Would recommend!

Love the zesty turkey and pasta salad. If you get a whole zesty turkey it’s literally 2 sandwiches! Perfect for leftovers. My latte was also delicious. They are so kind and appreciative there, love to support this local business.

Try everything, it's all good. Veg Chili w/ corn bread one of my favorite meals. The lentil soup is a staple there.

I will keep this short. Wonderful service, wonderful food, and a wonderful family. Took my Mom here for lunch and it was a great choice. The Baba Ganoush was so smokey and creamy- perfect, and the Fatteh (first time ordering this) cannot be described…….I absolutely LOVED it. Now I am obsessed with Fatteh.

One of the gems of Regina. A cozy atmosphere with wonderful home-cooked meals. Run by an incredibly friendly family. The quality is consistent every single time, and the meals provide plenty of value in terms of serving sizes. Whether it's food or just stopping in for coffee, Abstractions is one of the best choices.

This is a favourite lunch spot of mine. I work in the area and if you need a place to meet friends or a client for lunch, or you just want to pick up a quick hot meal it hits the spot.

The service was excellent, the veggie wrap was delicious, the wifi was good, and the atmosphere was cozy. I had a wonderful lunch and was able to get a little work done as well. A great place to spend an afternoon!

The chicken shawarma and pasta salad are the best in the city. The staff is kind, warm and welcoming and the vibe is unmatched. A truly underrated gem for lunch and/or a coffee.

A home away from home!I remember that we have just arrived in Regina, looking for a place to stay and we came across the amazing hidden gem on Rose Street. We just wanted to get some coffee and that’s when we discovered this beautiful place.Any place wouldn’t be a place without people who paint that beautiful picture and make sense of place. We happen to meet Farid, Hayat, Nour and his beautiful family who run this place. What an amazing humble family and what a nice place.There is something about family-owned businesses; makes you feel at home and you immediately fall in love with it. But what’s more significant here is the kindness of this family. The warm welcome and love that shared with us was absolutely incredible and we will always be grateful for that. I really cannot imagine Regina without Abstractions - it changes everything for us.The place is actually nice and it is kinda of a community center. People always come together at this place and everyone knows everyone. You come here once and then you just keeping on coming every single day! They also invite local artists to exhibit their art work and showcase it to the community. Isn’t that cool?The food is absolutely spot on. The family originally from Syrian and hence the incredible middle eastern cuisine. We loved every dish and we could no ask for more to comfort our appetite in a place like Regina. Again they are a game changer for me!The vibe is really cool too. Not only you feel at home but also they created this amazing intimate vibe; amazing music, paintings on the wall and an armchair at the corner makes you feel comfortable at all time.Nour, the son is an amazing talented artist who runs a nonprofit organization concerned with music and DJs all across the city. With his music and influence he plays a huge role in challenge the status quo and engaging the community with art and music. He runs musical events and invites DJs from across the city - even beyond Regina as we happen to see that amazing DJ coming all the way from Moose Jaw to take part of this event - and create something really special that could be a catalyst for a change and for us it was just the cherry on top.I am so grateful that we found this place and this is an invitation for everyone to come and enjoy it. This place has something - for everyone!
