I recently had the pleasure of dining at cosmos, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm, inviting ambiance and friendly staff who made me feel welcome. The menu offered a great variety, catering to different tastes and preferences.

Poor service staff are biased charging some customers before they eat and others after. Mainly people of colour. This is clearly racism. Shameful no wonder the place isn't as busy as it once was.

A large selection of food covering a range of types and styles - nothing super fancy, but should be something for everyone. Some staff were a bit abrupt like you were a burden. The place was somewhat noisy on both week nights I went. Could be worse or better depending when you go. What I would say is don't trust any prices outside. They sneak on a 3% or 4% service charge on meal cost (it's a buffet and I serve myself, and some may say it's covering the already paid staff putting out food), but that aside you have to buy drinks separately going to the drinks bar - you walk there, you get your drink, you walk it to your table... And despite this they still sneak on a 3 or 4 % service charge again - like what's the point of drinks menu with prices cos they don't even follow them.

Love cozmos for its variety of foods. Some things are more liked than others, but they try to replenish as quickly as possible. Some foods are made fresh while you wait. They try and clean quickly when customers spill. You only tend to see waiters/ waitresses when you first go in, and it is difficult to find someone if you don't order refillable drinks. But otherwise it's great.

We took out daughter and a couple of friends here as it was her birthday. We unfortunately didn't have our 12 year-old's passport with us, or apparently there would have been some sort of birthday deal. In spite of having booked in advance, we still had to wait 10 minutes extra for the table. The food was of a decent quality, but a few things had run out ant weren't replenished while we were there. Really, the problem with going somewhere like Cosmo (or any AYCE place) is that it can just get too busy, meaning waits for tables you booked in advance, waits to get what you want to eat, and shortages of stock.

We arrived with no reservations and were seated in 10 minutes. Payment was taken up front and a “discretionary” service charge was added without us being made aware. You can (and should) challenge them to have this removed. When they removed it they short changed me! The food was mid at most, nothing was especially amazing nor was anything especially terrible! There’s a lot of cross contamination as the tongues aren’t specific to anything, so if you’ve got delicate allergies good luck. There’s so many children running around as well, the staff make no attempt to shout at misbehaving parents who can’t control their gremlins

I went to COSMO with a group of my friends today. We all think that the price was far too much for what we get, £27 each for buffet and refillable drink. The restaurant has a mix of foods from countries like India, China, Mexico, Italy and a few more places. Food choice range is good for a vegetarian but not so great for vegans, my vegan friend had no choice for dessert except from ice pops and 3 options of fruit. The restaurant itself was very loud and we couldn't hear each other, and some areas of the restaurant were so small that it was difficult to get through. Service wasn't amazing, the staff weren't too friendly.

Lovely meal out last night with my Husband. Greeted at the door straight away and seated quickly. Good selection of foods from the buffet. Bibek was lovely and polite making sure we were OK and happy with our meal and sorting out drinks for us. He was also quick to notice that we were ready to leave and wanting the bill after we had finished eating despite it being extremely busy in there. Altogether we spent just over £70 and that included the drinks so it was very reasonable for what we had.

Very busy , would seriously advise booking your table before going. Variation of food was incredible and all the once I tried were well cooked and enjoyable. Literally all you can eat so no short portion. Only slight drawback is when full it can get a bit noisy but that's to be expected of a venue that relies on turnover to make a profit. Would still strongly recommend it though.

Was invited for a child birthday meal on a Saturday and we had booked a table here overall I had a good experience. Service: we were seated pretty quickly and the waiter took all our ages etc so we were good to start eating pretty much straight away. Drinks orders were made quickly too and the waiters were friendly. They also had a good system with clearing used plates. Food: as far as buffets go the food was pretty decent, there was a good variety and it had decent taste. Obviously not as fresh tasty as I would have like but it’s a buffet so it expected. Prices: For 9 people with drinks (4 adults 5 kids) the bill was £171.00 so about £20 per head I think this was reasonable. Atmosphere: very busy but the atmosphere was pretty chilled. If you’re looking for an affordable buffet at a reasonable price I do recommend this place.

I'd recommend going when they open as the lines aren't too long, and if you get there 10 minutes before they open you'll have very few people waiting. Lots of different types of people come here, from nice to not so friendly.

Not very good value for money IMO, I understand inflation hit everyone but the prices of things like rice or chicken katsu were ridiculous for such small portions. Drinks very expensive too... there are other options around with a better value for money
