Founded by cricketers Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene, along with chef Dharshan Munidasa, the restaurant has consistently been placed on most Best Restaurant lists in Asia since it opened in 2011, and because of its policy of serving only the best catch of the day, the prices are high and tables served each day are limited. So after a long wait, the coveted restaurant opened its doors in the upscale neighborhood of Khar, and besides a genuine love of good seafood, it shouldn’t be surprising that the name itself is a huge draw. This is their third international outpost, after Singapore and Manila, and here, they have partnered with Gourmet Investments Pvt Ltd.
The Mumbai menu isn’t very different from the menu in Colombo. The crab sizes will range from the one weighing half kg to the so-called Crabzilla, which is two kg or more. The preparations include the popular Garlic Chilli Crab, a Ministry of Crab original that combines Mediterranean and Japanese flavours with the local catch; and Pepper Crab, which uses black pepper in three ways — hand-crushed, whole and as a stock. There’s also the vegetarian Goan Curry, made with baby eggplants, button mushrooms and onion rings, and flavored with coconut vinegar. The dishes can be had with rice or (we recommend this) the traditional Sri Lankan wood fired bread called Kade Bread.
The restaurant, which opened on February 10, had already sold out its tables for the first fortnight. So it is worth to make an advance reservation if you are planning to dine here on your trip to Mumbai.
