"The sauce is lovely and spicy. It's a very good crab and there is more meat in it than in a sea crab."
"The flavor is powerful and scrumptious - a wonderful, spicy, compliment to the sweet crab."
"The crab itself, and its succulent and soft meat, absolutely blew my mind. And then there were the sauces! The pepper sauce tasted absolutely unique in its richness."
"It’s a fantastic mix of sweet butter and thickly applied pepper soaking through the meat, a great infusion of textures and salty oomph."
"It’s like no crab I’ve ever taste – clean, superbly fresh and crisp. The whole pepper grains are clearly evident, making us want to suck the shell (which seems to be a theme of this visit)."
"This dish is made using hand-crushed peppercorns (rolled on a traditional miris gala), whole peppercorns, and a pepper stock– it’s a must-try!"
"The crab was more than delicious flavoured with pepper, garlic and oil. The meat was beautifully taken out and there was masses of it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a crab with more meat in it – probably not as much, actually."
"Their Curry Crab stays true to the flavors and taste of a traditional Sri Lankan Crab Curry. Just like the waiters suggested to us, this is something you’ve got to absolutely try out if you’re at Ministry of Crab."
"The pepper gravy was thick and generous, not too overpowering and wonderfully seasoned."

"Excellent restaurant but I preferred the black pepper crab over the curry and chili crab."
"If you don't care about the price, this is the famous place to try curry crab. Expensive but professional restaurant with clear vision and high standards. And the freshest crabs of the highest quality you can find."
