Is the massive crab at Ministry of Crab worth the high price.
3 Answers from travellers
The Ministry of Crab located perfectly in the historic Dutch Hospital precinct in Colombo is globally internationally renowned and routinely consistently ranked among the absolute finest restaurants in Asia.
Yes the prices are astonishingly astronomically high compared to standard local street food. You are absolutely paying a massive luxury premium for the iconic brand and the elegant historical setting.
However the sheer monumental size of their legendary export quality lagoon crabs and the insanely intense highly refined perfection of their garlic chili sauce makes the incredibly steep financial splurge absolutely unequivocally worth it for a highly memorable once in a lifetime celebratory dinner.
