What is Aatma At Widowmaker?

This is our love letter to Indian cuisine, a curry house built with deep respect for the kitchens, street corners, and elders who shaped it. We cook with the weight of that history, then nudge it forward. Set inside Widowmaker Brewing’s Brighton taproom, Aatma brings Indian street-corner soul and regional tradition into conversation with New England ingredients and a little punk-rock attitude. Spirit first, swagger second.

​

What are your hours?

Aatma @ Widowmaker is open:

 

• Tuesday – Thursday: 4PM – 10PM (Kitchen closes at 9:30PM)

• Friday – Saturday: 4PM – 11PM (Kitchen closes at 9:30PM)

• Sunday: 4PM – 8PM (Kitchen closes at 7:30PM)

​

Where can I park?

We offer parking validation at both 15 Guest Street and 41 Life Street garages, $5 for up to 3 hours. Just bring your parking pass to the bartenders for validation. There’s also street parking on the side streets off North Beacon St.

​

Do I need a reservation?

No reservations. Just come as you are. Order at the bar, grab a beer, grab a plate, and sit wherever feels right. First come, first served, the energy of a roadside stall, the intention of a serious kitchen.

​

Where exactly are you located?

We’re inside Widowmaker Brewing at:

190 N Beacon St, Brighton, MA

One door, two worlds: craft beer pouring out front, Indian flavor and fire coming out of the kitchen.

​

How does ordering work?

Order at the counter, grab a number, find a seat.

We’ll run your food out fresh off the line. It’s fast-casual in flow, with the care and technique of a fine-dining kitchen behind each plate.

​

Do you offer takeout or delivery?

Yes.

We’re on third-party platforms for delivery + pickup, and you can also order directly through our website for pickup (the best way to support us and skip extra fees).

​

Can I bring my kids?

Yes. Aatma @ Widowmaker is built to feel like a gathering, families, friends, solo diners, everyone. This isn’t a club; it’s a table.

​

Who’s the chef?

Aatma is led by Chef Keith Sarasin, chef, cookbook author, and student of Indian cuisine for over a decade. His work is shaped by mentors and researchers across India, grounded in respect for tradition and a commitment to contribute something meaningful back to the cuisine.

​

Do you serve beer or beverages?

Widowmaker handles the beer, from fresh releases to taproom favorites.

We bring the curry and a few non-alcoholic heroes of our own, including our iconic mango lassi and masala chai. The pairings aren’t an afterthought; they’re part of the experience.

​

Is your food spicy?

Some dishes are gentle. Some carry a slow burn. A few bring the heat. We build flavor first, then fire. If you’re unsure, ask, we’ll guide you to the right spice level for your comfort (or your courage).

​

Do you have vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free options?

Yes. Indian cuisine is rich with veg-forward and naturally gluten-free traditions, and our menu reflects that. We offer vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and nut-free options, clearly labeled so you can order with confidence.

​

Why is the menu so different from other “Indian restaurants”?

Because we’re not here to just repeat your favorite takeout order. We honor the classics, but we also draw from regional histories, personal memory, and research, then filter it all through New England ingredients and our own lived experience. We’re not copying nostalgia; we’re adding another verse to a very old song.

​

Can I host a private event here?

Yes, with enough notice.

The brewery + curry house combo makes for a powerful setting, from casual hangs to more intentional tastings and celebrations. Reach out and we’ll see what we can build together.

​

Is the menu the same every day?

Our core dishes stay so you can find your favorites again and again. Seasonal specials and limited runs rotate based on what New England gives us and which region or idea we’re exploring at the moment.

​

Do you have merch?

We do. You’ll find signed copies of Chef Keith’s Indian cookbook, The Soul of Spice, along with select Aatma and Widowmaker merch. It’s one more way to bring a little of this story home.
