Aatma At Widowmaker

Boston Indian Restaurant Aatma Curry House Opens in Widowmaker Brewing | Eater Boston

"Located inside Widowmaker Brewing Co. in Brighton, this spot showcases chef Keith Sarasin’s decades-long immersion in Indian cuisine through high-quality Indian food with fusion flavors and a menu that even includes a glossary of Indian terms to help diners learn about the cuisine. Dishes like Indira’s dal, a slow-cooked lentil stew with onions, green chiles, and ajwain that is flavorful without being overpoweringly spicy, and fried idli chaat, featuring fried idlis coated in hand-ground dried chiles, drizzled with tamarind-ginger chutney, and served over creamy yogurt with fresh cilantro, highlight both comfort and street food inspirations. Comfort food reaches another level with the Aatma burger, an American smash burger seasoned with masala spices and house sauce, topped with achari onions and amul cheese, a recipe Sarasin spent three months developing that has quickly become a fan-favorite. To drink, the house-made masala chai with thickened oat milk and toasted spices is described as like a warm hug on a chilly day, while the mango lassi with rose syrup offers a creamy, tart, and floral option. The experience is further enhanced on Tuesday nights when free trivia at Widowmaker Brewing Co. lets you test your knowledge while eating from the Aatma menu." - Celina Colby
