Aatma At Widowmaker

A couple of weeks ago, we filled a community fridge a few miles from the restaurant. No big plan, no announcement, just food and supplies where they were needed.

A couple days later, someone came into the restaurant and quietly left an envelope with $100 inside. We never excepted this kind act but we knew right away we didn’t want to keep it, we wanted to pay it forward.

So we turned that $100 into more than $100 worth of supplies, feminine products, personal hygiene items, and essentials that are often overlooked. Then we restocked the fridge again on our own.

It felt right to let that kindness keep moving.

Community isn’t built on grand gestures. It’s built on small, steady acts that ripple outward. One person fills a fridge. Another person adds to it. And together, something bigger takes shape.

To the person who left that envelope, thank you. We hope the care you showed continues to travel farther than any of us can see.

The community fridge is located at 404 Washington St, Brighton MA. We encourage you to show up and be a part of something so wonderful! We will see you there.

Beyond humbled and incredibly honored to be featured in Eater Boston today.

To everyone who’s been dining with us from the beginning, thank you for believing in this little (but loud) project. And to everyone who’s about to walk through the door, we can’t wait to cook for you and share what we’re so deeply passionate about.

Find Comforting Indian Fusion Dishes Inside This Brighton Brewery Chef Keith Sarasin runs Aatma Curry House inside Widowmaker Brewing Co.

We’re closing out the year with a "Royal Rebellion." Chef Keith and the team has pulled from the deepest archives of Mughal history and Indian street corners to bring you three one-night-only specials.

(swipe the pictures to see what we are up to!)

THE LINEUP:
1. Lamb Shank Nihari: The King of stews. 25 freshly ground spices. Slow-braised until it surrenders. Served with fresh kulcha (like naan but better).
2. Chole Puri: Street-soul at its finest. Smoked ghee,chickpeas and crispy puri (fried bread) for that Delhi feel.
3. Kesar Shrikhand: A saffron-infused sweetened yogurt with a collision of texture and sweetness.

No dress code. No pretense. Just high-concept history served inside a brewery with beer that pairs to perfection.

NEW DISH. DEEP ROOTS. ZERO APOLOGIES.

This is General Rao’s Chicken, and it exists for a reason.

In 1911, at the Delhi Durbar, every Indian ruler was expected to bow before King George V.
Sayajirao Gaekwad III didn’t.
He gave a slight nod and walked on, a quiet act of defiance that rattled an empire.

That moment became the soul of this dish.

Crisp fried chicken, blistered and loud, tossed in a jaggery-vinegar-chili glaze with curry leaf crackle, toasted methi, and Szechuan peppercorn heat. Sweet at first. Sharp underneath. Built with posture. Built to refuse.

But this dish is also personal.

The idea was born from our sous chef Jeff, pulling from his early career working inside one of the largest American Chinese food chains, where General Tso defined an era. That foundation met Chef Keith Sarasin’s lifelong obsession with Indian flavor, history, and context, and instead of copying, we contributed.

This isn’t nostalgia.
It’s evolution.

Familiar enough to crave.
Different enough to remember.
And once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Come eat the dish that wouldn’t bow.
General Rao’s Chicken, now on the menu.

As people are discovering our menu, this beauty has been flying out of the kitchen.

Meet our chicken 69 sandwich. What is it? Think chicken 65 turned seductress, crispy fried chicken, tossed in sassy chili sauce, stacked with spicy pickles, fried curry leaves and Aatma sauce. It's messy... Let's be honest, that never stopped you before.

Come through tonight. Open at 4pm

The Aatma Burger isn’t a burger.
It’s a problem.

The patties? Masala-smashed.
The onions? Achari.
The cheese? Amul.

We sell out because Brighton doesn’t play around.

Get it early. Get two.

I named this dal after my mentor, Indira.

She taught me that food is memory.
That simplicity can be rebellion.
That you honor a cuisine not by copying it…
but by carrying it forward with respect.

This bowl is the soul of Aatma.
Smoked.
Rich.
Craveable.
