COSMO All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant | Reading in Reading

Went to Cosmos in Reading with a big group and it was great! Huge variety of food to choose from, and everything was really good. We all enjoyed it! Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a place with lots of options

Had a lovely dinner buffet here with my husband Service was great, a huge thanks to shristina(hope I got the spelling right)&Bipin was great, they made sure we were well taken care of. Will definitely recommend this buffet, especially if you are a huge foodie like us! :)

Very busy, lots of variety. Great place when you have fussy kids.

Specially Nepalese staffs Mr Youbraj and Suman is best in the world as customer services .keep it up 😀👍🙏🏻

One of the best buffets around. Unfortunately most buffets these days don't do pork items to cater for their patrons but then you don't get to enjoy some of the Asian dishes. This place has one of the best selections of pork items in a buffet. Book in advance to avoid waiting.

Really enjoyed the food, I appreciate you have a timed sitting when busy and it was starting to get busy but the member of staff that demanded I leave the table while waiting for my friends to come back from the toilets grab their bags and then we would all leave might have considered using some manners.

I went there for lunch along with my wife and my uncle's family! It was an amazing experience overall and I thoroughly enjoyed all food I ate especially the dumplings and squids! Honestly, for the money we paid it's really worth as there were loads of food and cusines to try and experience. So, I will surely recommend to other people who are looking for an amazing buffet experience. Besides, My wife and I will surely visit again for the overall buffet experience and maybe try the food we missed last time :)))

Food is delicious and the staff are really helpful and nice.

Love it here, the mains were amazing, hot, tasty but the puddings - waffles and churros tasted like they had been sat there for days, hard and stale.

Wide variety of food choices, especially the desserts.

Many items but none of them has tastes except 1 or 2 items. Its cheap compared to the varieties but agains end up with no satisfaction. Desert items are fine.

I was dining at Cosmo (Reading) on 27/April and would like to file a complaint about one of the teppanyaki staff members who name is Agosthino. The staff had a very poor attitude and was extremely rude. When my husband, daughter, and I were placing our order, the staff spoke to us in a very unfriendly and harsh tone. After my daughter and I placed our order, he rudely told my husband "next" without any courtesy. He also did not ask us about any sauce preferences, which made us feel that he was very unwilling to serve us. Moreover, while preparing our food, the staff openly spoke in his own native language with his colleague right in front of us, making us feel very disrespected and uncomfortable. We hope to provide this feedback to your company and sincerely hope you will take this matter seriously to improve your service standards

We visited on Sunday afternoon around 4pm. Place was crowded, many families and birthday celebrations. We were sitting in the spot where we constantly had people passing by us and kids running around. It was hard to move around. Food was just ok, from my observations was mostly asian food- Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese. I saw tacos as well, pizza some pasta. I saw many options for meat but as a pescatarian person I had limited options. I loved the mushrooms. Big selection of desserts, ice cream, fruits. Staff was nice, we were explained how it works in Cosmo. I always wanted to visit but I don’t think I will be back. If you don’t like crowded places it’s not for you. Maybe week days are less busy. We paid 56£ including food and 2 drinks.

Many choices, always nice food. All u can eat buffet. Update: They have got some cute robot helpers,

Eat all you can, if you can, without any hassle. Good customer service.

First of all manager was very rude. And unwelcoming he didn’t speak nicely and the food was cold and not good very less option for vegetarians and tasteless and very greasy food for non vegetarian and tasteless we came for 1:30 hours of drive to cosmo from London and it was a great disappointment not worth the price. Over all poor experience and not recommended to other.

Food is amazing & really fresh for an all you can eat buffet & good value for money. Would definitely recommend it.

I recently had a lovely meal out and was really impressed! The food was hot, tasty, and every dish I tried was a winner. Cleanliness and atmosphere were spot on, and the service couldn’t be faulted. I’d love to see some new Korean dishes on the menu, but overall, it was a fantastic visit! Definitely looking forward to my next trip.

Lovely place for meals, quite an experience 😋

A little over crowded to the point I couldn't get out of my seat at some points but other than that a good meal

Super buffet, I recommend it for a special culinary experience

A few of my colleagues and I visited this place today, and it was totally amazing. The food , the service, the staff, and the atmosphere were absolutely amazing. I had a wonderful experience, and my friends did, too. The variety of food options was absolutely stunning. The staff who welcomed and attended to us was very professional and attentive. I love how the place looks clean and nice. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would absolutely visit again .

Best value ever, so much choice amazing.

We had been to this buffet, atmosphere is good and they have different types of cuisine. Indian food(chicken korma, chicken tikka, somasa, naan) is nice, chicken pakoda is tasty but bit salty, spicy chicken is nice but no spice, ice cream is good. But felt there could have more items to try. Chicken wings, and tandoori taste is not that great, they were less in salt. Shrimp is not good, prawn curry from Indian cuisine. Overall few items are good, and there could have e been more items to try.

Lots of varieties of food from different geographical areas, if you enjoy exploring different foods then you will enjoy the place

Not too crowded even if it was Sunday lunchtime. Clean and well-organised restaurant. The food was stunning.

Party’s welcome. Good place to have kids' birthday celebrations. The price is ok, and lots of variety for your meat eater but limited seafood choices. Vegetarian dishes are not among many choices either.

It's a really nice place to eat, it gets busy but the food very rarely runs low during service

Good environment to eat. very organised and staff were active serving customers well

Great variety of food and desserts. I highly recommend this place.

Despite the Friday night crowd, we arrived without a reservation and after waiting just two minutes, our table was ready. It is a nice place where you can find flavors from world cuisine and then end your meal with a wide variety of dessert options.

I went there yesterday and the staff act very bizarre. They assume everyone is a thief or something. Kept checking my drink was just water.. paid upon entry and was told I couldn't drink my coffee even though it was the time to break fast I'd been fasting all day. Just wanted to drink my drink quickly. She said I have to do it by the door ??? What on earth is that. Rude. Weird. Then kept checking my glass saying only water is allowed in that. I said yes I know ? That's what I asked for. Was bizarre and put me off cosmos for life

Great food, very nice place. Highly recommended

Most of the food overcooked, Indian was awful, fish was good and the staff were fine.

I recently had another wonderful meal here and I can't stop raving about it! The food was top-notch—especially the Spicy White Fish and Kung Pao Squid, which were full of flavour. The service was really attentive, and everything felt clean and inviting. Although the Lamb was a bit dry and the Thai Green Curry Chicken didn’t hit the mark for me, the overall experience was still fantastic. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Great way to try lots of different foods

Probably the best place to eat in Reading if you like your food varied of all sorts! You can also get to eat free if it's your birthday and upto to 4 people come with you. There are rumours Cosmo will be taken over soon via RBC. Please leave our beloved Cosmo alone as we certainly don't need anymore flats!

Absolutely beautiful the food is amazing and excellent quality and service

Very unhygienic, food was either over-cooked or had a foul smell to it. Very few items were eating worthy. Waste of time and money. I mentioned the staff about the issue with food but to no action. This was my 4th visit in the last few years, but every time I go, I feel this place is going from bad to worse. Will not go again.

Day out with the family, Really amazing food and the staff were super friendly. Unfortunately we made a wrong turn at one of the trays and one of the workers was very disrespectful about it, shouting at us for this small mistake, but other than that, it was amazing really enjoyable evening, would definitely recommend. Price wise, totally worth it as well.

Atmosphere really pleasant but I felt limited choice for vegans or vegetarians especially regarding desserts.

Great meal with variety of delicious foods.

I had emailed in regards to what service we had received on our visit & its been ignored. We arrived at 9:09pm on Saturday bearing in mind you close at 10:30pm & food is cleared away at 10pm. By half 9pm we were told the food was being cleared away, not that there was much anyway as nothing was being refilled. We felt uneasy that the staff didn't want us to spend any longer in the restaurant we should of been told on arrival that the food would be cleared away sooner than 10pm for nearly £60 it was below par on service, quality & food and turned out a very expensive meal for near on nothing.

We were a group of 10 and we were seen to quickly. There is a good range of food on offer although the desert offering was a little disappointing and the buffet food was warm at best as the lids were kept open.

Very busy, but excellent food and lots of choices.

Probably better than the Oxford Cosmo. Staff is definitely friendlier

I had a really enjoyable time at this place recently! The food was top-notch—especially the chicken wings and gammon, which were just perfect. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was friendly, though I feel a few more food options would take it to the next level. Overall, it was great value for money, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

Excellent service friendly staff and delicious food thank you

Amazing .one of my worlds wonders

Wow, I was amazed by the choice of food on offer! There's all different types from Chinese to a Sunday roast! All the food was fresh and didn't feel limited had been sat for a long time. Everything was clean and well presented. Used plates were cleared away really quickly. Good value for money considering how much you can eat!

Food was amazing 👏 🤩 the only down side was the Indian section being a bit tasteless and no naan bread 🙈

Cosmo is always a vibe for me. My 2nd home and it never disappoints ❤️

It was really good you could eat whatever you wanted the staffs are really kind

Saturday is the best taste and availability

I highly recommend cosmo to everyone especially families with children. This is a nice adventure for them.

Such an amazing variety of food! Never been to a buffet like this before… Absolutely loved it- will be back 😻

Its very nice, dont expect top notch food as it is a buffet but you're getting what you pay for, extremely delicious! Their sweet and sour chicken is the best and their lemon pepper spicy wings were to die for

The food was delicious!! We also had a lovely server called Layla who help celebrate my fathers birthday and made sure our experience was as nice as possible! Will be coming again!

Everything is really nice good food always hot

Good food and good value, plenty to choose from.

Food was amazing and really good options available … think they should give you more time and not rush you out the door soon as they slap the bill on the table which ruined the experience in my opinion….. By time we ate mains the bill was slapped on the table whilst eating our deserts which to me was quiet rude once bill was paid felt like we was rushed out the door with our deserts still half eaten

Good but small hot plate portions so you have to queue multiple times

Had a lovely meal and was really impressed with the service! The California Roll and Fried Mushrooms were standout dishes – their taste and presentation were spot on. I appreciated the clean atmosphere and good value for money too. One suggestion: it would be great to see some chocolate cakes on the menu! Overall, a great place to dine and I’ll be back in a couple of months.

This was a fantastic place if you like buffet style with lots of choice they were really on top of keeping everything topped up, we really enjoyed our experience. The only thing letting this place down is a lack of presence with staff at entrance it was a massive cluster with people barging in and doing as they fancied no control what so ever.

Great food great price good atmosphere

Excellent place for those who want to taste food from different countries with a fair price

Visited cosmo, had an overall pleasant experience. However I left behind two bags (my own mistake) I have been trying to contact the restaurant and its phone line is closed, I have also emailed to no avail. I’d appreciate it if someone could get in touch asap so I can collect my bag. Thanks

Just had my first visit and it was brilliant! The food was top-notch, with everything I tried being a winner—from the roasted beef to the fried mushrooms and even the ice cream. The staff were super friendly and the whole place was spotless, creating a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal. I left feeling that it was excellent value for money. Can't wait to return!

excellent service daughter had a brilliant birthday celebration

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Cosmos Reading. Despite having a reservation, we were left waiting at the beginning, which was frustrating. The food was stale and lacked freshness, and the desserts were equally disappointing. Instead of the nice ice creams I’ve enjoyed at other Cosmos locations, they had cheap ice poles that felt like a last-minute substitute. What was supposed to be a special birthday meal turned out to be a horrible experience. I’ve been to other Cosmos before, and I’m shocked at how much the standards have dropped at this branch. Needless to say, I will not be visiting Cosmos Reading again.

Absolutely loved it here, food was delicious and we'll presented, lots on offer to choose from and the staff were friendly and accommodating. 2025 update, long waits on a Saturday night even with booking but still worth coming here because the food is amazing 🤩

We love our annual trip to Cosmo. We visit with our family from ages 8 to 96 and there is food choices for everyone in the party. It is a great place to bring children especially as they do not have to wait for their food order to arrive and it is very flexible what you choose to eat. As always the Asian cuisine was the best choice, but I always save a tiny space on my plate for the lamb rogan josh (delicious). The staff are friendly and helpful and efficient. The helper bots they have around are a tad annoying as they don't seem to have any awareness of people walking. There are plenty of familiar dishes for those who prefer a simpler meal but the best bit of a restaurant like this is being able to encourage everyone to try something new.

Great place, great food, great cocktails, one of the best restaurant chain.

Recently visited this buffet restaurant, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The place is very spacious, which is great for accommodating larger groups. They offer an impressive variety of dishes and cuisines, including Indian, Italian, Chinese, and Thai, ensuring there's something for everyone. The pricing is quite reasonable for the spread they offer. However, it does get quite crowded in the evenings, so I’d strongly recommend booking in advance to avoid waiting. The food itself was slightly above average in taste, with the desserts standing out as particularly good. A solid choice for those looking for variety at a fair price!

Biggest Multi cuisine all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant in Berkshire that serves quality food, at a decent price. Ambience is nice until it gets crowded on Weekends, you definitely have to pre-book those days. You have to find a car parking nearby, the restaurant is on a busy high street. Cleanliness is always the best on the restaurant floor, food spills are cleared immediately. Their dessert options are amazing. Strongly recommended for a family dinner.

Quite lots of variety of food. Good quality and hygiene. I will definitely go again.

Really good, food was good and hot. Staff were great and kept the tables clear and cleared of used plates.

Lovely food selection. Would definitely recommend. Staff were very polite and friendly

I had a great time catching up with friends over some delicious food. The mussels with Sichuan sauce were a standout, and the prawn with courgettes hit the spot! While the atmosphere was nice and the service was solid, I think the drinks could have been served a bit colder. I'd definitely love to see more ice cream flavours on the menu next time. Overall, a fun outing that I’ll be back for!

Good all you can eat restaurant. Wide variety of Indian,Thai,Mexican,Chinese buffet. Nice spread of desserts. Gets very busy during the weekend. Sugget prebooking. Time slots are 90mins for each booking. Seperate drinks bar available with bottomless fizzy drink option. Have special offers for the day of your birthday. Nice staff and environment. Parking is available in near by Q park building with a voucher code discount. About 8 mins walking from this parking space.

Great place to go with family, or with group of friends, for a catch up... the food selection is extremely varied and can satisfy almost everyone. I have tried a bit of everything. Indian food didn't impress much. Chinese food is deffinetly on top! Roast dinners something I'd avoid Sushi fresh, but of course... you have to like it. But it does have a wide selection and also a chef that can cook for you on the spot if you would like grilled octopus 😅 I didn't try the pizza ...the Italian in me said: eh no... Pizza no! Desert - a lot of delicious options, but I liked the bites' sizes. With all this food available, I would waste a slice of cake just to try 2 bites. So they offer bite-size cakes of different types and flavours. Alongside fresh fruit!! Drinks - sodas are on illimited top-ups, with water and ice. Any other drinks like juices or alcohol/coffees are done separately, and the cost is outside the set price menu. I can also add the cuteness of the waiter robot, taking you to the tables, or being around to collect your empty plates. 😉

Always busy best to book before hand food is great dessert lackluster but do the job.

Excellent choice of food n friendly staff

It's my favourite restaurant, the food is yummy and service is always great

Fantastic selection of food, we were shown to our table by a robot! A robot! It was so cool! The only fault is that there’s so much choice it would mean visiting several times to try everything which is a nice problem to have.

My 1st visit. Been looking to go for a while. It was very busy but only waited 5 mins as no booking. Got seated quickly. Kids loved the little robot that takes you to the seating area to be seated. The food choices were pretty good for a buffet restaurant. It might be because it’s lunch time but I expected a few more choices in some of the stations, and food could have been a little warmer. But there were people going round constantly checking and ensuring all filled quickly and kept clean. Was very good to see, The BBQ and tepinyaki section were amazing. Served very quickly and lots of choice. Cooked to perfection. Sushi area had lots of choice but was all the cheaper things with no actual sushi inside. One had crab sticks. The rest was all veg or salad items, could do better there. Boys loved the dessert section and enjoyed the machine serving the ice cream automatically, Maybe I need to try at dinner time to get an even better experience but for a lunch buffet, they did a great job. Price is very much the top end for a buffet of this type so do ensure come hungry, I do think should have slightly better pricing for 6-10 yrs but was still all good. Team cleared the tables perfectly and timely, overall a very good experience.

Probably the most disgusting wasting experience of my life. A woman threw up next to the Thai and Mexican food and it went everywhere!!! The smell was disgusting! The vast amount of sick was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Needless to say we left shortly after and will never return

Very good varied food, fast service, but very many people you need to make reservations.

Another wonderful evening at Cosmos. We come with guests ranging in age from 8 to 98 and there is something for everyone to choose. It is lovely to socialise and eat and the children are kept happy because they can go and help themselves to the food they want.

Great impression, I will certainly return

It was a good place to go as a group or family, but a bit costly. It's worth it. Personal cooking items were taking a long time.

I recently enjoyed dinner with my family, and it was absolutely brilliant! The food was delicious—everything from the fried mushrooms to the sweet & sour chicken was on point. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was spot on, making us feel right at home. One note, though: 1.5 hours felt a bit rushed for us with kids and elderly around; a two-hour slot would be perfect. By the way, I’d love to see dumplings and wontons on the menu next time!

The food was delicious and staff very friendly, but it was sooo busy that I could hardly move. It took half hour just queuing for food

The food was so bad, I only liked one thing out of all the options. Everything had a weird taste to it or was bland. There were a lot of options though and the staff were friendly. I wouldn't ever come back here again

All very nice. I went there with my family, place looked clean and tidy, staff very helpfull, on the whole a very pleasant experience. Fully recommend.

Nice place but quite expensive. Food was okay.

Fantastic place for multi type of food

The food is lovely but it is all very rushed, you have a time limit on your table so you feel you need to eat quickly and when your time is up they rush you from your table

The food is so good that I could live there. It’s a really good experience and I hope everyone could have the same experience I had. Thank you to all the robots who served us, they should get a raise in their salary. The last time I’ve been there I wasn’t served by a robot, I think they went on holiday, and they deserved it cuz they work so hard. Really hope they got to enjoy the holidays with their families.

If you’re vegan, don’t bother coming here. It’s really expensive for the food that’s available. The labelling is really poor. Three different types of Vs on the menu and despite being told one was vegan by staff, it isn’t. The only way to check is using the allergen marks on each item which are really small and sometimes right at the back of the shelf/trays. One of those places where you really don’t feel welcome on a plant-based diet.
