Ministry of crab india

Keep calm and crab on’ can easily be the mantra to live by as you don a bib and settle in to enjoy a spread of crustaceans fished from the wild. Dharshan Munidasa’s award-winning Sri Lankan seafood restaurant Ministry of Crab has opened its first outpost in the country in suburban Khar and promises to dish out the food they are known for.

The story behind the name Ministry of Crab: Dharshan Munidasa: When brainstorming a name for a crab restaurant with my friends, we came up with quite a few but ultimately realized that the crab itself is a powerful, strong ingredient in look, feel, and flavour and to do it justice the restaurant would have to have an equally powerful, “institution-like” name that could own the ingredients.

Ministry of Crab (MOC) has launched Crab Biryani, to its already existing seafood menu. Customers can pre-book their order for small and large servings by dialling in six hours in advance for a bespoke Biryani experience.
