I recently traveled from the United States to Sri Lanka and had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. It was truly one of the highlights of my trip.
The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared fresh and full of amazing flavor. The presentation was excellent, and the portions were generous. The service was exceptional everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived.
The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful atmosphere that made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. It's clear that the staff takes great pride in both the quality of the food and the service they provide.
If you're visiting Sri Lanka or you're a local looking for a great place to eat, I highly recommend this restaurant. It exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely be returning on my next visit. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We recently visited this place in the evening. The atmosphere was really good -calm and vibing. We were there from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm, and it wasn’t very crowded. There was no loud music, so we felt really relaxed.

We ordered some food and drinks. The passion fruit mojito was the best. Portions are reasonable, and the customer service was great too.

We had a really pleasant experience at Buttercup Restaurant. The kottu was delicious and flavourful, and the fresh mango juice tasted amazing and genuinely fresh. It’s also a great spot for families, with kids-friendly meal options available. Parking is conveniently provided, which makes the visit even easier. Overall, a lovely place for a good meal and a comfortable dining experience!

This charming restaurant offers a lovely ambiance . I had Selected this restaurant for my memorable celebration with my fiancé. staff gave us excellent service and support .The food is delicious and it has authentic taste The restaurant is located on the second floor and has an elevator. The place was not crowded during lunch time. Only drawback is if there’s a booking they requested us to leave from the place. If they have a different party hall it not affect for there other customers
