  • Today I visited the famous Ministry of Crab in Colombo, You guys kept asking me to go here so i took your advice and visited this restaurant that is ranked number 29 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants List 2021.
    We enjoyed a full 5 course meal, including delicious oysters with their very own secret sauces, crab liver pate, a huge prawn cooked to perfection and served with this amazing butter, and the Colossal Crab. This was the biggest crab i've ever seen, but again it was delicious and I would highly recommend you visit Ministry of Crab. A special mention to the staff for being so kind and welcoming!

    "The inception of Ministry of Crab is attributed to an episode of Chef Dharshan Munidasa’s TV show “Culinary Journeys with Dharshan”, which featured the Sri Lankan Lagoon Crab, showcasing how it was sourced in Sri Lanka and exported to Singapore to be made into the famous Singapore Chilli Crab. It was during the course of this shoot that the initial idea of creating a crab restaurant was born, as a culinary homecoming for this majestic crustacean, which had long been more renowned overseas than in Sri Lanka.
    When brainstorming names for a Crab restaurant in its country of origin, Dharshan felt it was necessary to have a powerful institution-like name; and so, the title, “Ministry of Crab” was established.
    The next step was to find a location fit to house the restaurant and the search began for a “Ministerial” space. It was serendipity that the historic Dutch Hospital building became available as a result of a new refurbishment project of colonial buildings by the Urban Development Authority, as part of the post-war development.
    Cricketing legends Mahela Jayawardena and Kumar Sangakkara who were close friends with Dharshan, stepped in to partner with him, when he put forth the idea for a restaurant dedicated to seafood, giving flight to their own gastronomic ideals. Their dedication towards bringing the restaurant to life by using it as a platform to pay homage to local produce earned all of them the monikers, “Ministers of Crab”.
    Everything came together in December 2011 as Ministry of Crab opened its doors for the first time!"
