Ministry Of Crab

Ministry of Crab was created in 2011 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, as a culinary homecoming of Sri Lanka’s legendary mud crab, which has long gained popularity outside of the island for decades. Our crabs are the stars of the show, cooked in various styles that encompass Japanese, Sri Lankan and Mediterranean flavours. From our Dashi-based Pepper Crab to our Garlic Chilli Crab, we aim to offer you a one-of-a-kind Crab experience.
