The people behind an award-winning Dorchester restaurant have opened a new spot that resides within a luxury hotel in Allston
According to an article from Eater Boston, Ama at The Atlas is now open on Western Avenue, with the dining spot being part of Pearl & Law Hospitality which operates Comfort Kitchen in Uphams Corner. Like that restaurant, Ama focuses on flavors and ingredients of the African diaspora, with the menu including such options as momos, curry chickpea pita, duck fried rice, berbere-spiced fried chicken, lamb kofta, confit pork belly, tamarind trout, braised veal shank, blue corn gnocchi, roasted eggplant, fried yuca, charred escarole, and sticky date pudding, along with beer, cider, wine, cocktails, and mocktails. (The dining spot also features breakfast service in addition to lunch and dinner.)
Comfort Kitchen has received much in the way of accolades since opening in 2023, including "Best New Restaurant" by The Boston Globe and Boston Magazine and being mentioned as one of the top 50 dining spots in the country by The New York Times.
The address for Ama at The Atlas is 40 Western Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134. Its website can be found at https://www.ama-boston.com/
