How we read reviews →Melbourne's hatted Sri Lankan crab specialist for jumbo mud crab curries and showstopping seafood.
An elegant yet relaxed CBD dining room with an open kitchen, an illuminated crab-size display, and a buzzy, celebratory energy on busy nights.
An illuminated 'crab-o-meter' display shows which crab sizes are available that day, gloves and bibs are provided for hands-on eating, and diners can watch chefs work at the open kitchen.
Founded from the original Colombo restaurant lineage, though several reviewers note the spice level has been toned down for local palates compared to the Sri Lankan original.
A genuinely premium experience. mud crab runs around $190/kg and bills of $400-800 for two are common. with reviewers split on whether the quality justifies the price.
