About

Opened just this past January in Allston’s Atlas Hotel, this newest creation from Pearl & Law Hospitality (a.k.a the group that gave us Comfort Kitchen, named “Best New Restaurant” by Boston Magazine and the Boston Globe) has been racking up accolades of its own. It was on Boston Magazine’s List of “Most Anticipated Restaurant Openings” and Eater’s List of “Best New Restaurants Around Boston.” This globally inspired eatery pays homage to mothers and caregivers of all kinds, as Ama is the Nepali word for mother. Here, Culinary Director Shelley Nason, a Cordon Bleu graduate who serves as Chef de Cuisine at Comfort Kitchen, has devised a menu that includes such fare as berbere-spiced fried chicken with pickled okra, confit pork belly with red currant glaze and mustard green pesto, tamarind trout, aji chicken roulade with maple verde, shallot jam, and warm potato salad, and luscious desserts like brown butter pineapple cake with coconut whipped cream and sticky date pudding with vanilla rum mascarpone.
