Soul on Shawmut
Soul on Shawmut is a love letter to Roxbury from the kitchen of the Abdul-Musawwir family. Aadam, his brother Mohammed, and their sister Iman Lamontagne are the owners of the new halal, soul food, fast-casual restaurant.
The eatery shares the building with Boston’s oldest continuously running mosque and is just a few blocks from where Aadam and his siblings grew up. The food it serves is halal — there’s no pork and no alcohol, in accordance with Islamic teaching — and the meats that are served are sourced according to Islamic guidelines. The menu includes a melty chopped cheese and soul food classics like fried chicken, mac and cheese, and rice and beans.
