Proudly serving you the finest Sri Lankan Mud Crabs and Freshwater Prawns here in the Maldives for an unforgettable crustacean dining experience.

  • CRAB
  • PRAWN
PEPPER CRAB
Black Pepper has been the true “king of spice” of Sri Lanka for centuries, since red chilli was not native to the island. This signature dish is made using peppercorns that are hand-crushed and rolled on a “miris gala” (traditional grinding stone), whole peppercorns and a pepper dashi, fusing two native Sri Lankan ingredients together: Black Pepper and Mud Crab.
GARLIC CHILLI CRAB
A Ministry of Crab original, where Mediterranean flavours and Japanese food philosophies meet Sri Lankan crab. It is a blend of the distinct flavours of Italian olive oil, garlic, Sri Lankan chilli flakes, and Japanese soy sauce. The thick shell of the Sri Lankan Mud Crab adds an unbelievable depth to the flavoured oil, which is great to be soaked up with our Kade Bread.

Also available:
GARLIC CRAB – the non-spicy version of the Garlic Chilli Crab
GARLIC PEPPER – where black peppercorns are substituted for the Sri Lankan chilli flakes
CHILLI CRAB
This dish gave Sri Lankan crabs the iconic status they enjoy in Southeast Asia. Our version is created with Dharshan’s original recipe, that uses the fiery red chillies of Sri Lanka; adding a warmth, sweetness and incredible depth of flavour to the dish.
BUTTER CRAB
This dish is the best way to appreciate the full flavour of these amazing crustaceans, and is best served chilled, with warm butter (6 hours notice required). Order male crabs for more claw meat, and female crabs for tender sweet meat
SRI LANKAN CURRY CRAB
A traditional Sri Lankan curry that combines the island’s iconic Mud Crab with an array of Sri Lankan spices, sprigs of Moringa, and Pandan leaves. The combination of aromatic spices with the fresh flavour of the crab gives this dish a deep flavour that is unique to this part of the world.
CRAB LIVER PÂTÉ
Our creamy crab liver pâté, served with melba toast, is an umami flavour bomb. Add a drop of Kithul Treacle (palm sugar syrup) to round out the dish with an incredible smoky sweetness. Only limited quantities available daily.
AVOCADO CRAB SALAD
Steamed and chilled white crab meat gently mixed into a wasabi mayonnaise and served in a halved avocado.
BAKED CRAB
Inspired by the classic, this dish is likened by many to crab risotto, and is rich and savoury with a hint of soy sauce that brings out the umami.
MOC(K) BAKED CRAB
Substituting crab with savoury button mushrooms in a rich béchamel sauce, our MOCK Baked Crab is full of flavour. Spice up this delicious starter with a dash of our home-made hot sauce!

The freshwater prawns of Sri Lanka also known as Lake Lobsters, are giants compared to their counterparts and it’s very rare to find a consistent supply of prawns of this size. In fact, Sri Lanka has the distinction of being one of a very few countries blessed with this culinary gem. They are farm hatched and are released into the wild, growing to great sizes in the amazing lakes built by our kings.
Prices are in USD, Subjected to service charge and government taxes
