One could easily fathom being in a lavish home whilst dining at Amma.

A mother of two kids (daughter Anu and son Raju), she had learned early on that both food and a home were about much more than what meets the eye.ДЄt Amma, she has brought a team of professionals to assist her in sharing her vision of creating a unique space, manageable in size and able to give the feeling of a lavish private dining space. The colors for the walls, the fabrics for the chairs and banquettes as also the light fixtures, all reflect her desire to create a space that has the signature of a mother and a home. The recipes are based on what has been enjoyed in the kitchens of mothers, and are translated with respect for home cooking, and, made to work and compliment a restaurant environment.ДЄnju Sharma spent great time in collecting her thoughts about the ambience. It would be dishonest to say the food at Amma is cooked in the style of mothers from India. Amma celebrates mothers all over by remembering them by its name. To honor them, and to bring back an honest setting where food could be savored and celebrated, she thought of opening Amma (mother,in several of the Sub Continental languages).

Memories of the foods she had eaten in the kitchens of her mother and that of her mother-in-law, remained fresh in her mind long after the demise of these two women. Owner, Anju Sharma, a New Yorker by the way of Old Delhi, wanted to share something Indian and yet new in New York City.
