In Sri Lanka, Ministry of Crab is something of an institution. Founded in 2011 by chef Dharshan Munidasa and cricket legends Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, the eatery’s fame and heft has grown over the years. It has swept accolade after accolade including a spot on the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list for eight years running, from 2015 to 2022.
To this day, the original Colombo outlet typically seats 300 people a day while simultaneously having to turn away 150 people daily during peak times!
