She rolls the freshest maal in the Japanese food delivery circle, this kickass Ninja. We scored some of her stuff last night, passed it around. One hit, and we were addicted.

Moshi Mumbai

We’re talking about the California rolls at Ninja Sushi, Mumbai’s newest dial-a-sushi service set up by Le Cordon Bleu (Paris)-educated Shilarna Vaze, who has until now been working the culinary scene in Goa. And while her French restaurant and organic veggie garden gets set up in the sunny state, the chef is dishing it out in Mumbai, driving foodies wild with wasabi.

Californication

The veggie California and Salmon Rolls we ordered were way too intricate and yum to come out of the tin foil box they were packed in, and a great deal for Rs 250 and 300 each. Even though the California rolls were missing the avocados we were promised – they were apparently not ripe enough – we enjoyed the cool cucumber, asparagus and mayo filling, perfect for a muggy Mumbai night. bpb also recommends the Salmon, though the pieces of fish could have been more substantial. Each order came with a side of Kikoman Soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger in individual plastic boxes.

This Side of the Sea Link

While the menu is limited – Spicy Tuna, Smoked Salmon and Prawn California Rolls are available in addition to the veggie and salmon rolls we ordered –Shilarna is already working on organic brown rice sushi, and we hope some fun French-Japanese fusion dishes too. She also plans on expanding her delivery service, which is currently restricted between Andheri and Bandra, unless you place a bulk order. Roll with this one, we say!
