New Boston-area openings include Ama in Allston, Norinori Test Kitchen in Brookline, Moona in Central Square, and Umami Crudo in the North End.
Ama is a huge step for Pearl & Law Hospitality, run by husband and wife team Nyacko Pearl Perry and Biplaw Ra (who is Nepalese). The name of the restaurant means "mother" in Nepalese, and the restaurant is an homage to those who cook and care for people. It's also a reference to Rai's mother, Saraswati, who is a prep cook at Comfort Kitchen and takes care of the restaurant team and her family in equal measure.
