About Ministry Of Crab KL

Ministry of Crab Kuala Lumpur is redefining seafood excellence as the premier crab restaurant in Bukit Bintang, KL. Located at TUAH 1895, within the historic Pudu Jail precinct, Ministry of Crab Kuala Lumpur brings the global acclaim of the original Sri Lankan icon to the heart of Malaysia. Founded by celebrated chef Dharshan Munidasa alongside cricket legends Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, Ministry of Crab is consistently ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants, gracing the list from 2015 through 2022. At Ministry of Crab, the star is the Sri Lankan mud crab. Each live crab and giant freshwater prawn is air‑freighted from Sri Lanka several times a week—never frozen—to ensure absolute freshness. The signature Black Pepper Dashi Crab is a highlight: hand‑crushed Sri Lankan black pepper meets Japanese dashi in a spice‑infused sauce that enhances the natural sweetness of the crab. Equally famous is the Garlic Chilli Crab, where Italian olive oil, garlic, chili and Japanese soy sauce blend beautifully—a Ministry of Crab original sure to delight food lovers. Ministry of Crab Kuala Lumpur is more than a fine dining restaurant in Kuala Lumpur—it’s a seafood destination for discerning diners seeking the best crab dining experience in KL. Whether you’re craving romantic dinner locations, planning group feasts, or celebrating a special occasion, the restaurant’s luxurious ambience and robust flavours deliver.
