Sozo Izakaya in Versova which brought authentic Japanese flavours in an Izakaya cultural setting is all set to innovate its menu, this March 2025. A new menu expansion retains the hearty contemporary flavours pairing them with elements as per chef’s directions. Whether you’re craving spicy ramen, Tokyo street staples in Mumbai-style or want to settle in umami-rich classics, the new menu accommodates more palates for curious diners. Bringing in a dash of modern flavours, the new dishes will strike the perfect balance between cultural traditions and inventive cooking styles.
An izakaya embodies the Japanese spirit of comfort, culture, and communal dining. To keep up with this tradition, Sozo Izakaya’s new menu is thoughtfully crafted to delight every guest—whether they crave a quick round of steaming dim sums or a nostalgic dessert. While each dish stays true to Japanese techniques, its artistic plating enhances the experience, making it irresistible to capture and share. As you indulge, the burst of flavors and satisfying textures create a dining journey that engages all your senses.
Sozo Izakaya’s new menu brings a bold fusion of flavors, featuring Laksa Ramen and Khowsuey Ramen, both enriched with coconut-based, umami-packed Japanese seasonings. The Korean Gochujang Ramen delivers a fiery kick with deep umami from fermented chili paste. For dim sum lovers, the Corn & Cheese Dim Sum offers a creamy, melty bite, while the Chicken Sriracha Dim Sum brings a punch of spice. Street food-inspired delights transport you to Tokyo, with the Junglee Chicken Samurai Sando, Prawn Katsu Sando, and the indulgent Egg Sando—each wrapped in soft, pillowy milk bread. For those craving comfort food, the Cluckin’ Awesome Burgers ooze with melted cheese. The indulgence continues with decadent desserts like Chocolate & Banana Cigarolls, Sozo’s Tres Leches, and Crispy Honey Noodles with Vanilla Ice Cream, ensuring a sweet finish to an unforgettable meal.
Talking about the new menu, Chef Pervez Khan says, “In our new offerings, every dish plays on bold flavours and layered textures to bring an ideal balance of fresh ingredients and umami-enriched sauces. We also have used heat introduction techniques that enhance the flavour rather than overwhelm a dish.” So above all, it promises a comfortable dining experience to anyone who craves Japanese food.
Sozo’s menu expansion is part of a broader vision to introduce the Izakaya culture to more neighborhoods across Mumbai. Rather than simply adding new dishes, they have taken a curated approach, blending seasonal and modernized flavors to elevate the dining experience while staying true to authenticity. By striking the right balance between strategic growth and creative innovation, Sozo continues to captivate customers and stay ahead in Mumbai’s dynamic dining scene
Founding partner Sameer Tirani reveals, “We are excited to introduce a well-rounded menu that caters to everyone from kids, parents and even grandparents. The burst of new yet familiar flavours will keep one coming back for more. We aim to make Sozo not a mere restaurant but a neighbourhood cafe that brings authenticity, innovation, and accessibility to all classic Japanese flavours.
With all this in the pipeline, Sozo Izakaya is on the right track to innovate with a visually stunning, socially engaging, and palate-pleasing new menu.
