Rooted in India.
Alive in Boston.

Indian food with attitude.
Hospitality with soul.

Half our restaurant, including the bar, is first-come, first-served every night we’re open.

Settle in.

Order something familiar, then something you’ve never tried. Pass a plate. Find your new favorite.

Aatma means soul. Here is how we bring it to the table.

​

Don’t Apologize for Flavor — bold, layered, full of life.
Serve with Seva — hospitality with care, generosity, and heart.
Craft the Memory — the food, the room, and the people you share them with.

Start here.

Regional flavors.

Bold ideas.

Unforgettable dishes.

BETTER BUTTER CHICKEN
Halal chicken, kasoori butter, Kashmiri chile oil. Served with steamed rice.

A story with soul.

Aatma means “soul.”

For Chef Keith Sarasin, this is a love letter to India, shaped by years learning alongside chefs, home cooks, researchers, and mentors.

Regional flavors and street-corner memories meet the ingredients and perspective of New England.

We honor what came before us. Then we add another verse.
