Salushi - Claremont


I am not a great lover of sushi, but my wife certainly is. Out on a shopping expedition to Cavendish she suggested that we try one of the nice looking restaurants around the corner from our shopping destination. Off we went and the first restaurant we looked at did not have an appetising menu. The next one was Salushi and we decided to try it.

Well what a find. I do not know a lot about sushi, but what they delivered was fantastic. The salmon was fresh and beautiful and certainly was the star of the show. We ordered their 21 piece platter and absolutely wolfed it down. We then decided to order a number of other dishes off the menu to try them and each was as good. The chicken spring rolls, chicken noodle in cape curry, the banana and chocolate spring rolls and creme brulee with wasabi were simply fantastic.

It was a beautiful day and I am sure this added to our bonhomie and the feel good factor, but the food was good enough for us to order another 21 piece platter to enjoy parts of and still take some home to enjoy for supper that evening. As I said before, I do not know much about sushi, but if that is the quality that can be delivered regularly, then I am sold. Again the common thread with good food in restaurants was the freshness of the produce and the beauty of its preparation. Something to add to the all over feel good factor of the meal was that the sushi was half price as it was part of their winter special. Certainly a winner all round.
